Kids everywhere on a Saturday couldn’t play any games. This place use to be cool but it’s basically a Chuck-E-Cheese now
One of the best retro arcades I've been to in years! Great bartenders! Grab a group of friends and make a night of it!
Zero parking. There's no parking here. Not sure what the business model is except for as a vanity project fot the owner of the pizza place next door. service was average at best. The bartender seemed more concerned with his child sitting at the bar and surrounded by girlfriends or mother or something then actually tending to customers. Nice that many of the games are free to play except the ones that you really want to play. I would suggest just a flat $20 cover fee and make them all free. Give people wristbands or something but that's just me. I only have 40 years in the service industry so what the hell do I know.
Stopped in there with my boss. We noted that many of the taps didn't have pulls on them. Had a brief chat with the bartender about that. Asked him who his rep was with bronbite and Heidelberg. Bartender totally blew off that we were in the industry And might be able to help him out. Pretty much the least inquisitive or attentive bartender I have ever encountered. Given that the setup is not conducive to food sales as there are no tables between the gaming machines and very few places to set your food or drink, one would think that as drink sales are paramount, the bartender might take some interest in who their actual customers are.
Interesting concept. It needs a complete overhaul on execution.
Updating to 4 stars due to the prompt professional response of the owner.
Had so much fun when my friends finally talked me into coming to a new place with them. The environment is great and the free pinball night was a surprise and so much fun! The bartender....Rob? I think (bald guy, beard) was super friendly and my friends and I even plan on coming back on nights he works now! Definitely will recommend people check you guys out!
Great place to play old arcade games.
Nice place but be careful how much you *actually* pay for a drink. Got charged $4 more than what was posted on the menu board for a drink.
Love this place... old school video games and root beer on tap
Very cool spot, worth checking it out! They even have some free games! The drinks were wonderful too!
Hit this place up on a Saturday around 1 with two kids. Beer set me back $8 and pinball $6 but $14 total for 1-2 hours on the arcades is pretty cool. I enjoyed the MarioKart, Road Rash type game, and PaperBoy. It wasn't busy and my son would have stayed another hour. Free old time arcade games is great. I will plan to stop in again sometime. You can order pizza from the place next door. TBH if they had a counter with food in there, I would have probably ordered an appetizer of sorts as well. Park on the street or at the pizza place not the Laundromat.
Absolutely great environment, best Root beer around !! Oh, I forget to mention the classic arcade games !!! Do yourself a favor and check it out 🙂

Kids Love it an nice place to be friendly an fun !
Pity I'm moving to Arizona at the end end of the month: because this is the kind of place I've been doing for my whole life and I only found out it existed yesterday.
Went there with friends it was fun
A very interesting place. The arcade games are fully accessible without payment, except the requirement of a drink purchase. The pinball machines are different though and do require payment. And there are good cabinets to, from Pax-Man to MK4 and Tekken 3. There are some good games here.
