Nostalgia, to me, is underrated. We've always driven past, wanting to stop in and check it out. We finally did and weren't disappointed. Very cool bar; it reminds me of a cool basement party from the 80's and 90's with pretty much any arcade game you'd want to play. The games are the real arcade systems from the day, not those huge machines as you'd find down the road (?), but if you like that sort of thing ? - waste your ?.Any whoo, Nostalgia is theperfect place to meet up with friends (or even for date night), have some cocktails and food, and enjoy the games (and great memories of yesteryears).We ate prior to visiting but glanced the menu to check the options for our next visit (yep, definitely returning). There were a lot of varieties on the menu, and the drinks were good pours ? ?The owner was there and very nice, as well as the barmaid; she was friendly, attentive, and kind.We will definitely return and bring our friends. This place is definitely a gem for Nostalgia.

John and his team at Nostalgia Lounge are top notch! My company holds an annual meeting where our five offices converge at a location where we get hotel rooms and then have dinner and hang out at a local restaurant. The Nostalgia Lounge was perfect for us!From the kitchen staff to the bartenders, everyone was wonderfully accommodating and took excellent care of us. Everyone enjoyed being able to spread out and play games - from classic Nintendo Game Cube Mario Kart and 1998's Mortal Kombat all the way to billiards and basketball.The drinks are amazing and the food is tasty (their Ground Pound sauce is SO delicious)! They were able to keep up with the craziness of 40 people putting in orders and drinks all at different intervals, and John was so kind to honor our requests for impromptu game changes or karaoke.The entire staff at Nostalgia Lounge are professional, kind, and a lot of fun. We enjoyed our time there immensely and would not at all hesitate to throw another one of our gatherings there. Do yourself a favor and consider doing the same!

Buck hunterPinball baseball game?Donkey KongThe multi arcade by the food windowAll not working the whole time.Basketball, bags (corn hole), and ski ball were super fun and working very good. Most arcades basketball do not work good and don’t count your shots, the one here was on point.Cocktails, went with the recommendations and they were mixed very balanced and I enjoyed both of the ones I got. Kryptonite and Moscow mule.My number 1 concern 100% of the time is food safety I like that I could see into kitchen and didn’t notice anything I don’t like there. Our food came out not together and my food sat in the window for a good 5 min and was cold. Fries were soggy burger was ok. I hadn’t eaten all day so I just ate it all, I don’t send food back.Bonus for accommodation for toddlers(we never go out last 2 years and was nervous of how our daughter would do or if we would be sent away) Bar tender was running the whole show she was a rock star kept this from being a one star review along with feeling safe eating there.The guy sitting at the bar acting like he worked there, with two grocery bags that looked like they were full of trash from his car, laptop out, and eating out of a bag of chipotle. He took our drink order and forgot our shots. Bar tender served our food and got our shots. While, filling fridge, washing things and getting all the drink for the rest of the guests.Mess of wires and POS system at entry way maybe clean up? It wasn’t on or being used.Love arcade bars, hope all this helps.

Fun bar to come relive some of your childhood...name is fitting. Can get a wristband for $5 for unlimited game play. Has games like Pacman, Space Invader, Golden Tee, Mortal Combat, NFL Blitz, NBA Jam and more. Also has old gaming systems. Drinks are your standard dive bar variety, didn't try any food. Service was nice. Things were a bit rundown...but not enough to ruin anything. Would go back again when you want a fun place to chill with more than a drink.

Went for trivia night and had a lot of fun! They also have lots of arcade machines, pool and board games. They have a fun menu of speciality drinks and shots too. We did the d20 dice and rolled for a shot and that was super fun! The food can take awhile to come out if they’re busy, so be patient.

Went some months ago, so things may have improved since. Great atmosphere but Fish was tough and not edible. Kids were playing games while we were eating, spent over 100 on food and drinks. Only had one worker there, who scolded me for the 15 seconds i was showing a kid how to block in a video game (adults didnt have bands as we were drinking and not playing). I really want to like this place, hopefully they chilled out since then and upped the food quality.
