We literally plan vacations to Portland to hang out here. There's a massive selection of Pinball machines from every era (in perfect condition). The arcades also span the decades. Truly nostalgic with arcades like Mario Bros and Donkey Kong with modern classics like Mario Kart and Star Wars. With beverage holders on the machines, 2 bars and vegan food, we stay for hours.
Everything you can possibly think of going all the way to Space Invaders is here. A bar to boot with a great staff making fantastic drinks. The second floor is all pinball machines! A great way to spend a rainy day or night in Portland.
The arcade itself is great. The food, however…my partner and I waited 40+ minutes for our order and my chicken sandwich was okay (Cole slaw was hella soggy and that saturated the experience) and my partner enjoyed the corn dogs. I’ve never worked a kitchen before but those items seem like they should take <20 minutes, tops. I just wish that you are able to tip after service bc honestly would have tipped less.
