I genuinely enjoy this place, even more so since they replaced the hot dog place with Mikey’s late night slice. My only complaint is skee ball. I’ve been going here off and on since they opened and every time it’s the same thing: the 100 point goals don’t all register. Is this something that keeps breaking or has no one bothered to have it fixed? I know it’s free, but y’all have the audacity to post arcade high scores directly behind the skee ball lanes, when the most important skee ball goals don’t all work. Please make it make sense. Please address this :(

Good if you like 80s-90s stuff. Me I grown tired of retro businesses or bringing back the old stuff like the brand new 80s movies or even time travel to that time. I think it's been over done. The place itself is nice and very friendly. Never had issues with the games, finding a table or anything. It's very well made.
Kid-friendliness: This is the best part of the place. Everything seemed kid themed. Not much for adults to do but kids can have a great time.

SO FUN! & what a cute idea! I absolutely love that this has a more adult Dave & Buster's feel to it. Especially with all the retro games and arcades! Only bummer was that the ski-ball machines were closed down, probably for risk of COVID and the difficulty of keeping the balls sanitary, ect. We did see someone walking around sanitizing the gaming controllers, so we figured the ski-balls might not be so easy to quickly sanitize.
I LOVE that there's a HUGE section of free games! There's also games for purchase on the other side, along with miniature bowling (which I had never seen!)
Their happy hour is actually pretty good too! M-F until 7pm $2 off drafts! I forget the other specials, because all we cared about was the drafts.
Other bummer is that there's not food, BUT... they do allow food to be brought in. I was also told by some friends that they usually have food trucks right outside when it's nice out and they keep the garage doors open so people can come and go as they please (which sounds SO NICE!)
Was a bit surprised that on a Friday night they weren't busier. We showed up at about 5:45-6pm-ish and it really wasn't busy at all. We were able to freely walk around and have access to a bunch of games and arcades.
Would definitely recommend this place!

We were charge $32 for 2 drinks. We were told it was a lot because we substituted gin for vodka. We were never told about this additional charge to switch it and we were never charged for this at the Easton location. We still tipped but wished we didn’t. Walter was our bartender. They seamed okay but not super knowledgeable. They were also out of a lot of drink choices and ingredients. We won’t be returning. Super over charged for this experience and super disappointed.

Games were fun! We enjoyed duckpin bowling and the arcade games! ? ? Glad to have a fun place for the whole family (before 9pm) to visit on our vacation.
Parking: Mooney parking garage across the street is a good place to park. It's free, but spots are reserved on the first 4 floors.
Kid-friendliness: Before 9pm kids are allowed.

Would be 5 but multiple games are not functional every single visit.
Unfortunately, as more of these are built, it becomes increasingly clear that this is just a way to make more money for PINS. The vibe is more sterile, and the space is underutilized. Some games seemed broken and had been that way a while. Service was mediocre, and the menu board was essentially a carbon copy of the PINS menu, which is literally on the other side of the wall. Shared kegs are efficient if not very boring, especially when a list of 40ish drafts is somehow even more boring and distributor pushed feeling than so many beers ever should be.Games are still mostly free, but we would have stayed longer if the vibe actually matched the theme the way the old Short North location used to feel.Overall, it's still a good time and the biggest beer list (tied with pins) in Bridge Park. It's just the victim of what mass producing an identical concept results in.
Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance, but you need to use a long ramp. The doors open into an active game of cornhole for some reason, which is annoying.

What a fun spot to visit in Dublin!! There was a large variety of activities and something for everyone. Pinball and Giant Jenga were our favorites! :) Appreciated the vast amount of seating and menu options. Also just a beautiful area in general to explore. Will definitely be back!
Parking: There is a lot of local street parking, and if you're willing to walk a bit, multiple lots and garages nearby for parking.

Wow this place is a must ,i didnt try food so can not rate that part, the service and atmosphere were excellent. Nice selection of mixed drinks and craft beer .The retro games were free that alone puts this venue at the top . I would definitely return there is something for everyone ,free video games, paid bowling ,sports bar fire pits outside in a town that is a hotspot .
