First time here tonight. A fun place to visit for a different vibe on a night out. Came here with a friend to try it out as neither of us had been. Cheap to get in and for all-you-can play games it is definitely worth the price. Although many games were out of order, or for example, ski-ball was missing almost every single one of the balls and we could only play taking turns on one of the machines and basketball wouldn’t work for us. The environment was nostalgic but also a bit overstimulating but that’s what you would expect of an arcade. The booths with TV screens to play games were almost too close for comfort and had our eyes bugging after playing a few short games. Extremely bright. Ordered food and drinks, the food came out quickly and it was very tasty. However, the drinks….bartender made by reading off of a cheat sheet and unfortunately they were so strong we could not stand the taste to finish them. Overall, fun, different, would probably return again, but not somewhere I would frequent.

Was my first time at tilt arcade and I have mixed feelings. I’ll give you the good, bad and the ugly.

The good: food service, atmosphere and pinball games and $7 for entry is amazing.
The bad: some games were out of order and the skeeball only had one ball. Also the TV screens where you can play old Nintendo games is was too close, they should atleast lower the brightness.
The ugly: the drinks! Omg the bartender had to read a sheet on how to make a drink and both me and my friends drink tasted horribly, i kindly asked her to remake it and it still was horrible unfortunately.

I love Tilt and will keep coming back here as long as it's in business, but some things have gone downhill since it first opened here. It's a bummer to see broken machines, missing skeeballs, broken controllers, and general wear and tear that doesn't seem to be getting addressed over the course of months, all while the entry fee has slowly gone up from $5 to $7. Most notably, Ice Cold Beer is currently unbeatable because the platform physically can't be lifted high enough to reach Hole 10 and it makes me very sad.

To be clear though, Tilt is still an awesome place, and the food, drinks and service are all great.

Just went for the first time with my 6,5 and 3 year old. It was great! Perfect place to kill a few hours. The drinks are good, food is on par, and I'm an 80's child, so the games were beautifully nostalgic. Something for everyone.

My only criticism is there's nowhere to hang coats, so people put them in booths leaving no where to eat. Even though there's an abundance of booths, I didn’t like how people just occupied them with their stuff... a kind teenager let me and my littles take his booth to eat and we vacated it as soon as we were done.

Worth a visit.

About 5th time here, since they opened, love the variety of beers on offer, menu is decent pub grub but last time ALL our fries (family of 4) were really dry/ overcooked. I was playing pinball, nowhere to put my beer but on the game, it spilled, was frustrated...(wouldn't want to leave it at my table on the other side of the room unattended!), how about something like i slim drink shelf near there along the wall? Also, hard to find a booth when ppl leave their jackets there but aren't eating or sitting, how about some coat hooks along the walls? Had to take an unbussed table (half drinks sitting there, dirty?). Staff may be overrun, have an extra staff?(some games broken, especially one favorite, the basketball game, all balls kinda flat so they wouldn't roll down to you, got stuck on the lip... lots of potential for improvement... maybe it was an off night? Idk

It was great to play all the games with friends.
The admission price per person is a deal!

This was a really fun experience. There is a ton of choice from pinball machines to old PAC man to snes machines packed with tons of games. I could have spend all day there but I'll just have to come back. The fries were excellent. Some of the best fries we've had.

This place was phenomenal! I was staying up in London with my ex, visiting from the Michigan Metro-Detroit area and I have to say I’ve yet to go to a place quite like this. They had cute themed drinks, you pay the 5 buck entry fee to play at whatever console. They had traditional arcade games too, and pinball. It was really great, and I couldn’t recommend this any more as a date location. Next time I stop by, I’ll bring some friends and it’ll be a great time.

The concept is amazing. Retro games are so nostalgic. Unfortunately, the ice ball is missing a lot of balls, basketball, galaga are all broken plus a lot more. They need to keep their games maintained. It would have made the experience much better.
We had food here and it wasn’t cooked. Nacho cheese was falling off. Staff expressed their condolences and it almost seemed normal.
Bartender was great as was front door girl!
It was also absolutely freezing in there so bring a sweater.
This was our second time here and we were disappointed again in the games being broken.

A really fun concept and atmosphere, but the game quality is lacking. Nearly every cabinet or console my friends and I tried to play was not functioning at 100%; of the three of us, one of us was always going to have a controller that wasn't working right, a gun that wouldn't shoot all the time, a button that was spotty, etc.

If the equipment were better maintained, it would've been an easy five star rating.

So cool. Lots of original arcade games. Unlimited play. You just pay a flat fee at the door.
