This arcade bar in Burlington is such a blast! It’s the perfect mix of nostalgia and good energy — with plenty of arcade games that make you feel like a kid again. From pinball to classics, there’s something for everyone, and the atmosphere is pure fun.
The menu is great too — lots of creative drink options with clever names that add to the experience. And if you’re a beer lover, you’ll be impressed by their extensive selection on tap.
Whether you’re out with friends or just looking for something different to do in Burlington, this place is a total win. 🎮🍻

Is there food here? I looked around and didn't see anyone eating, and didn't see any menus. I thought it was just a bar and arcade. We got some great drinks, the place was packed so it took a good 20 minutes. Then, we played some old fashioned pin ball! So fun! They have machines for getting tokens. A fun spot for sure and would return.

Love the nostalgia and arcade games, dog the fall/Halloween themed cocktails.
Photo is the Double Burst double IPA and The Witching Hour cocktail which is delicious the bourbon mixes well with the vanilla and pumpkin foam.
Ian was awesome, super helpful, answered all my ridiculous questions.
Definitely go.

Fun place with great beer selection. Some good looking cocktails too. I like the token format for games vs. one price for unlimited plays. Decent selection of pinball and vintage games.

Some of the best drinks I've had in Vermont. Constant rotation of beer list.

So my buddy and I show up from another bar, everybody who is my friend knows that once I have a couple beers, I love doing math. I get distracted watching the pinball machines for a minute, my buddy said he needs to hit the bathroom, so I decided to grab the coins.
The coin machine gives you choices. Spend small, get the normal rate. Spend $20, get 88 tokens — eight extra for free. That’s four full free pinball games. The value-to-dollar ratio was unbeatable, so of course I went all in with a twenty.
The machine goes off like a slot jackpot, raining tokens endlessly. My friend actually comes back from the bathroom, finds me still standing there in a hailstorm of coins, and casually tells me, “Dude, I already bought us $10 worth.” At this point I now know there is no way we are gonna go through our stash. My pockets are stuffed with what feels like two pounds of brass tokens clanking like I swallowed a cash register. At this point, the only thing holding my pants up is prayers.
But anyone who knows me knows I don’t just take the machine’s word for it. I sit down at the bar, have my friend order us drinks, and I begin to count.
Stack by stack, pile by pile. When the dust settles, I’ve got 89 tokens. Not 88. I didn’t get shorted. I got an extra one. Nine free tokens in total. That’s half a pinball game more than the math even promised. Profit.
Pinball here costs 2 tokens per play. But I was on fire. My games snowballed: every high score triggered extra rounds. So 2 tokens were often giving me 4, 5, even more games(thats 8 coins of value)
My fun to cost ratio was insane. My 89 tokens had the effective playtime of 356+.
At one point, some stranger commented on how I was crushing the boss fights on the machine. I didn’t even know pinball had boss fights, but I was wiping them out like a man possessed.
My buddy and I tried a few other games — including the Budweiser Tapper, where you serve beers down a counter — but I inevitably found myself back at pinball.
By closing time, my pockets were still heavy. We hadn’t even burned through half the tokens.
So my buddy and I get an Uber home. And I dump all the coins out on the table. Laughing like a madman.
My $20 investment had already paid out ridiculous dividends in entertainment, and the leftover tokens mean next time’s already prepaid.
We usually take the bus when we go into town so we don’t got to pay parking. So I am going to have to walk half a mile with all those coins in my pocket. And it is so worth it.
Epic time, bring a friend. I wish I had a third person to help me spend all those coins. 😂

I would give this place top marks for the beer selection and games alone, but the service as well is top! My daughter left her wallet when we were up visiting family and it wasn't until we got back to Boston I finally called. They had the wallet and OVERNIGHTED it to us! Super nice staff when were there as well.
Got the Arcade all to myself. 😎🏆🇺🇸❤️🙌❤️🇺🇸🏆😎
