Nice place. Good vibe. I really enjoyed playing a couple of pinball games. I had not done that in ages! The video games are not noisy and there is no loud music which is good for me since I have sensitive hearing. The only issue was the cocktail. It was good but the price was outrageous for what I got. An ice cube so big it took 95% of the space in the glass leaving only a couple of mouthfuls of drink and making it difficult to drink.

Pretty standard gimmick bar. Surprisingly you need to pay for the games here which is out of the ordinary for most arcade bars

Shout out to bartender Dylan for excellent service and creative, well balanced cocktails. The logo hand-stamped onto each ice cube is a clever detail. Good craft beer selection as well. No substantial food available but we got a bar snack of Whipped Feta with crunchy pita chips, which was savory, airy and quite elevated. Games are super fun, even if I could only excel at Pac Man based on muscle memory from my youth.

I sent about 2 hours here. Classic arcade. Brought back many memories. Drinks are priced well.

An excellent bar, bar with a wide variety of cocktails and beer, with a cool arcade vibe and good music. As an espresso martini lover, I’ve tried many. However, the espresso martini from this bar is the best I’ve tried.

Loved the cocktail menu here! Also loved being able to play a few old school games. I really want to rate this a 4.5 because multiple games ate an extra coin or two (not the ones pictured), but the drinks and service at the bar were really top notch!

Plein de bornes d'arcades et de flippers. Pour 20 dollars on a 88 jetons et les bornes en reclament entre 2 et 4 par partie. Les bières sont bonnes mais les cocktails moyens. Bonne musique.

The bartender was upset that I tipped 95 cents on a drink and the owner said I disrespected the bartender so I was asked to leave. Message me for more info, I will back my statement with more info if needed.
