We were at Pin-Up just yesterday for a get-together, and it goes without saying that we all had a fantastic time. For some (including myself), this was a first visit. The staff was amazing, and the selection of available games was overwhelming (especially the number of pinball tables). There were a small percentage of machines that were out of commission, but most were indeed operational. I ordered their chicken tenders and fries. My nephew had the honey garlic chicken wings. Both meals were delicious and well portioned for the price! The cost is only $8 for entry which gives you unlimited play on all of their games. They even gave us free refills on the soda! We were there for well over 6 hours and it felt as though no time had passed. I'm a child of the 80's, so the opportunity to experience a REAL arcade again just brought back waves of nostalgia for me. I honestly can't wait to go back. Can't recommend this place enough!
Shooting games are fun

Small but nostalgic
Okd games
Everything was in various states of disrepair. If not not leveled, it was in an error state or uncalibrated or out of order. We were told there was an mvs cabinet only to find none in sight.
Called in asking if they had marvel vs capcom 2 and was told they had either that one or the first one but didn't have either, half the joysticks were broken and the gamecube for melee kept crashing.
Food was decent as it was generic pub grub and the service was okish as the staff had the "i dont car I wanna go home" vibe.
Decent if you're bored on a friday night but nothing to go out of your way for.

An annual pilgrimage when in town working ( once a year ) over the past three years this place has fallen apart , every pinball machine has something broken ( two just shut off ) every other machine had an issue, sticky flipper, burnt out lights, screen that doesn't work , as well many of the video games are not working properly. There is value to the price of admission, but staying the course they are on, within a year there will be nothing left to play , they need a tech to fix this place up ... Bartender was nice young lady, beer prices are reasonable, this place has so much potential, but is being run into the ground

Huge disappointment, don't order food since it'll take forever for anything you order. Chicken fingers and wings don't take an hour to make. The games are alright but nothing special. Overall pretty lame experience.
Fun place with a good variety of retro games. You can get a couple hours of entertainment out of it for sure. Great for a date night
Amazing atmosphere a real kick back to the 80s and 90s era, I get to experience it as a GenZ lol.

This is a really neat spot to go especially if you grew up with arcade games.

The games are really cool. Jenga is really cool. When they run karaoke, it’s also really cool. This place might just be really cool, it’s also sometimes kinda gross tho. Food and drinks are a little pricey but it’s so affordable to play games there that I don’t mind. Much love to pin up, I’m gonna keep coming back until I can beat the basketball high score.

Such a fun night out for all the games of my childhood. It’s a good mix of older and younger get people. Some of the games need repairs but they have some of the classics. Karaoke on Sunday nights is a blast! You get all types of music and singers and everyone is welcomed and encouraged.
