This is long over due. We have been going to Decades for many years. My son enjoys playing at all the different old school arcade games. He has fallen in love with the new addition upstairs. The wife and I enjoy going here for a date night. She fell in love with their cocktail menu many moons ago. They are always evolving their cocktail menu and coming up with new drinks.Vegetarian options: They have a nice selection of vegan and vegetarian options.Parking: The parking garage is right beside the building.Kid-friendliness: They are kid friendly until 8:00 p.m. which is perfect.
Service: went in to host stand staff was not friendly at all. Waiter took order brought food and when food was an issue did nothing. Then leaving staff again rude as I was standing in small area waiting for my kid with a smart comment.Food: not many options and burger was an odd seasoning and under cooked. You have pink or no pink as options. Fries were cold.Atmosphere: games and tables all to cramped for amount of people you can’t even hear people next to you.

It’s a shame that one lazy disrespectful hostess can effect a review. I politely ask the hostess if we could swing by the bar to pick up my wife on the way to the table - She said no not her job and why don’t I walk over there and bring her back because she doesn’t feel like walking over there. ( 10 Feet)-She was rude and I felt like I was bothering her as she wanted to hold down her stool and talk with the other host. Rude !-The rest was good!

I had my birthday party at Decades and everything was amazing! The event coordinator, Courtney, was easy to work with and she was very thorough with the pricing. She was accommodating and made sure I was happy throughout the process. Truly the best event coordinator I ever worked with and the staff worked hard in making sure my party ran smoothly. Highly recommend!

First of all I called in advance to verify they would be able to accommodate me. Which they said yes. I took my granddaughter and nephews bowling. We waited 20 mins to get a ramp and I asked repeatedly. My granddaughter is 4 so before the game was done she was over it. So no need to play another. I went to pay and was told the waitress is who I pay. Another 5 mins pass and still no waitress. Another few minutes and I ask where she is and someone has to get her just so I can pay and leave. Never going there again! Should have went to round 1 or an actual bowling alley. The whole set up is off as far as the bowling

I had taken a group of clients here for dinner after an event. We had a terrific time, many had not been before and loved the theme of the place. The service was perfect and everything went perfectly. Thanks so much for providing the perfect ending to the night!

My review is based solely on the fact we came for dinner, around dinner time.Do you like kids? Then boy do I have the place for you. My date night dinner was blessed with dozens of screaming kids, two of which were right next to me. Felt like a chucky cheese. Actually insane. Not sure why parents take their kids here? It’s supposed to be a playground for adults? But. I have no kids and it was horrible having to deal with other people’s poorly behaved kids. Literally go to a chucky cheese. Stop ruining adult things because you chose to have kids. If you gonna go to chucky cheese, I mean decades, go around brunch time or after 8.30pm. After 8.30 they only let in adults. So recommend going to dinner and then coming here after, cause my diner experience was horrible and I will not be back for dinner.

The original Dave and Busters? Great service, good food.Great Bourbon selection.
This is my favorite place in Lancaster. I've been going here since the beginning and have never been disappointed. The staff is always friendly, and the bartenders remember your name and drink order. The fried pretzel bites are a must.Parking: Free street parking is available sometimes, but I stick to the paid garage next door since the street is primarily for their residential neighbors.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids, play some arcade games or skee ball!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair lift on the left side of the building.

Didn't eat anything but very fun place to play games. Loved the vaulted ceiling. Usually these bar arcades charge a lot for the games but they were super reasonable

Unique bar, restaurant, entertainment facility built inside a former Armory gymnasium. Interesting high arched ceiling, 6 lane bowling alley, lots of vintage arcade video games, air hockey, foosball, Skeeball, basketball game. Plenty of seating areaz for eating and visiting with friends.Parking: Park along streets or in Queen Street garage directly next door.Kid-friendliness: Individuals under 21 are allowed until 8:30 pm at which time it is 21 and over only.
