Most affordable arcade around!!!!! Large open space concept. A lot of the old school classic games, even skeeball! Def non comparable to a Dave & Busters, but great for a balling on a budget birthday party. Bartender was cool, bar had a few specialty cocktails. Also had a decent fenced in patio out front for seating, eating, smoking, or drinking.

We went here for the first time when my grandson was visiting. It was a lot of fun. Excellent service - and the pizza from next door was excellent.

As a grown up, I lose it every time I go there. It's a throw back place with all the old school games you played as a kid.

Alan Cannon

Great collection of vintage arcade cabinets free to play! Super laid back atmosphere.

Fun place to visit and bring the kids for games. I had fun trying many of the beers on tap. They have a wide selection! The bartenders are great. Brooke and Randee really know how to mix a great cocktail! Will be going back soon!

Fun spot! Get great cocktails and beer at the bar, play old arcade games, then order food from the place next door (Gionino’s Pizza) and they deliver it to DK Effect!

Great place to have a beer and play vintage video game. Plus they have amazing new pinball machines Video games are free play and pinball is pay to play. Good variety of local beers on tap. No food but they wool with pizza place across the street to take you order and deliver in. Staff is great and it is open to all ages until 8p. It was a great hang for me and my not quite 21 y/o sons I'll be back

Dream Stoney

Overall great experience before 7pm. The night tender wasn't too be found, and when she was found... well she'd rather play the games and smoke instead of work.

Very fun environment, games, and a yummy pizza place that delivers right next door

This is the best place ever. What could be better than free arcade games? That's right, all the games, except for the pinball machines, were free. They even have Mario Kart Arcade GP! Of course it is recommended that you buy a drink so they can stay in business, but still! Plus they have a super cool super Mario mural outside. I will definitely be coming back here! 10/10 for sure. I would definitely recommend House of the Dead and the Mega Man fighting game.

Avoid the pinball tables - tables have launchers that didn't work correctly, poor playfield balance, weak and inconsistent flippers, etc. Not a great experience

Patrick Bartholomew

Great craft beers. Decent selection of video games. Not quite enough places to put your drink and keep an eye on it while playing. I wish the pinball games were also set to free play.
