We had a great time here! Beer is reasonably priced and 20 dollars on a game card will let you play everything in there. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff.

Love barcades, really always a nice touch when a downtown has one conveniently located. We spent around 60 minutes and had played everything, I wish the place was bigger, that’s the only con here. We’ve been spoiled by “up-downs” in other cities. We planned coming here as a majority of our night out and were surprised at how small it is. They make do with the space, some really cool games, a nice bar and a youngish crowd. We arrived and it was quiet, by the time we left at 830 it was getting crowded, which would have made it less enjoy. I hope they can find space to expand! Staff was awesome, place is clean. Worth your time and support!

This place is a lot of fun, lots of old fashioned arcade, pinball and action games like Rambo, Mario Kart and Dance Dance Revolution

For $5 you get a card and then $5 will get you 500 points. Each game ranges in points but many / most are 25 points (a quarter like the old days).

Also had a few drinks - they have draft and bottled beverages

Overall an excellent time if you have a nerdy side like I do

Been there twice this week. Playing pinball pretty much alone. Good selection of games. Had a variety of bottled beers and enjoyed a salad and pizza while there

Awesome and reasonably-priced barcade. Staff are friendly and they have a pretty good selection of games. It's located in the historic Carpenter building, which has a really nice aesthetical in itself.

Their new card system is a joke. Despite the messages that pop up on the screen when buying credits, it's not explicit that your first $5 just gets you an empty game card, THEN you have to add more money to actually have credits on it. There are several other places in town that have pinball and old games and I don't have to pay what essentially amounts to a membership fee to pop a few quarters.
