This place… what a trip… what a glorious, amazing trip. Super cool staff, HUGE cider selection, and enough NA beer choices to keep my partner from whining. All major wins. After a day touring gorgeous beaches, this was the perfect escape for us. It’s like walking into an actual spaceship. I forgot where I was. The lighting, the gorgeous sound (and trippy music), the freaking weird arcade games… all ON POINT. Absolutely NO NOTES. This little town of Astoria has zero idea how cool this place really is. I’d kill for this in my own town.

Good selection of pins and some unique arcade games. But the pay-by-app nonsense needs to go - very annoying to need to sign up for an app and enter CC info for something that typically takes a handful of quarters. Aside from that, it's a cramped humid basement with cold beers.

Super cool place.. totally reminds me of Star Wars. The place brought back some childhood memories. Great selection of both games and adult beverages. 😁

Another gem of Astoria. Do you like Star Wars? Science fiction movies? The inside of this place will blow you away. The almost hidden black door opens to an outer space experience. Great drinks, great food, the guy at the bar was exceptionally nice. Very hard to explain the incredibleness of this place. Definately a place to bring the older kids as well. I'll definately be back with family and kids.

Great atmosphere and service.

Ever since discovering Galactix we’ve made it a point to stop in whenever we visit Astoria! As a child of the 80’s I love the ambient sounds of arcades and being able to get a drink while we play (I hear that ethyl alcohol speeds up reaction times) really turns things up to 11. So to speak. My only “complaint” would be the lack of proper cocktails— I’m not a beer drinker but the generous selection of interesting ciders makes up for things. Welcome aboard and cheers!

Loving the emerging gaming culture in Astoria. This place has a unique vibe and the pay via app worked better than I thought it would. Definitely will be back.

Don't judge this place by its front door. It looks very uninviting, but be prepared to be blown away once you step inside.
It looks like some sort of spaceship or something inside. When we got there there was a new gentleman training and both of the employees were very friendly.
They had a lot of good beers on tap and some snacks too that were reasonably priced.
They didn't have a ton of variety of games, mainly pinball machines. The payment system was sort of convenient but there was a $10 minimum which it seemed like it took forever to burn through for better or worse.
We brought our 9-year-old and at no point did she seem out of place. If you have a much younger child, this may not be a great place, however.
We will definitely make this one of our regular spots when we visit Astoria.

First time there. Was so much fun once you figure out what to do! Non expensive. Should advertise a lot more. Couldn’t even do a check in on Facebook. My daughter and I had a blast!! I’ve told many about this place now across the river! Advertise!!

This place is so freaking sweet! They have so many unique options for beers as well as a very fun and iconic video game selection. The employee Jessie gave us the grand tour and explained in detail all the necessary information pertaining to our crews and games, it felt as if he was purpose built(by god) to do this exact job. I cannot recommend this place enough, it felt like a total spaceship.
Cool little hidden spot for arcade nerds who like to drink. Great beer selection and many cool and unique arcade and pinball games to choose from! Will definitely be back 💖

1980's futuristic vibe with super nice staff and nostalgia that will help you properly disassociate, losing hours of time... forgetting the actual timeline and transporting you back to being a kid zoning out at the arcade. There's also lots of beer and cider to choose from with snacks. Bring the kids -yours or just any random kid - and blast to the past while simultaneously feeling like you're in a space ship.

Just popped in for a drink and some quick arcade play and really jealous of Astoria for having a fun spot like this. Great drinks on tap and cool basement like space with sci fi theme full of old school arcade games. Was pretty quiet tonight but those of us there were having an awesome time. Hope to return soon!

An amazing find that feels like entering a dream. I always try to go back when I'm in town.

I love this arcade - have been several times and it has the right balance of games, atmosphere & libations. I'm actually alcohol-free, and they have a big range of non-alcoholic brewed beverages including some gluten free cider options. Yes, that's just juice, but it tastes good and soothes the burn of not taking advantage of their great taplist. :) We just did our first Films With Benefits event - focused on Nick Cage - and despite the fact that we are NOT trivia buffs, NOT Nick Cage fanatics & were generally unprepared we had a great time. The vibe was first rate, the emcee engaging & good natured and everyone was having a great time. We bought our tickets for the next event before we left the venue! Has to be one of my favorite hang out spots in Astoria as of now.
