Staff is super friendly, drinks are very reasonably priced, food is great on its own (and a lot better than what you’d expect from a bar - sorry if that comes across as a backhanded compliment 😅), and there is a wide selection of arcade games that are a ton of fun. It’s become one of my favorite places to go in Durham!
We had an alright time here - the tokens are more expensive than the machines suggest which is kind of annoying. For example, the pinball costs 4 tokens and many machines say this is $1. But as of Nov 2025, the tokens are 15 for $5, 30 for $10, etc. So we felt a little annoyed by this price differential. It would be a matter of simply correcting or removing the signage, because 4 tokens is ~$1.33.
This place is AMAZING we went just yesterday and I felt the need to write this review! The place has an amazing atmosphere that kicks in right as you walk in, HUGE arcade plenty to do, they even have guitar hero so you know I had to! And it is nice place for families to come and hang out, kids can play games that rage from old-school to pop-a-shot while the adults can get a quick beer and watch a sports game. Amazing place to go to highly recommend! 5 STARS
