Wife and I had a little time to kill so we walked in on a Friday afternoon, had some of their monthly special drinks. The Hocus Pocus and the ButterBeer, both were amazing drinks. We spent time playing the pinball machines and at only two game tokens for pinball can't complain. Token exchange is .25 cents/token. Would come back no question about it.

Love this place! Lots of pinball machines in the front and classic arcade games in the back. Most cost the equivalent of 1 or 2 quarters worth of tokens. Movie posters and comic book covers adorn the walls. I appreciate that they allow under 21 (with a guardian) before 7pm. Some games are beat up, but that adds to the vintage charm. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly bartenders. Fun place!

An arcade/bar with nostalgic games from 90s and pinball machines. Chill vibes.

Really nice range of beers and very friendly staff. Pinball machines are top quality but some of the video games are showing their age with dodgy screens, buttons, etc. Great value.

They force you to buy $5 worth of tokens at a time, which is 20 tokens. Not a bad deal at all, BUT. Once you realize that everyone gets bored and puts unused tokens in the machines, you notice that a lot of the games already have money in them. So I actually had a hard time using all my tokens. I got hooked on the original Mario Brothers but was set to free. So before you know my beer was gone, I had flipped dozens of crabbies and still had a full cup of tokens.
Many of the games were broken or screens were defective. So some that I wanted to play I actually couldn’t. And people were hogging Guitar Hero the whole time but that’s not their fault
Some interesting pinball machines here, including a classic Star Wars machine that felt vintage. Not sure tho
Overall a few problems but a good time nonetheless

A great little Barcade in the heart of downtown Appleton. Video games are only one token/ quarter and pinball machines are only 50 cents. Great atmosphere and a good alcohol/beer selection.

I come here for Pinball, but it’s always so dark inside that it negatively impacts the experience.
Drinks and prices are good though.
Edit: There is a difference between low light to allow for the playfield to pop and light so low some tables are unplayable due to poor visibility. Also, maintain your games.

Good spot to grab a beer and play pinball. Maybe an hour to waste. Lots of broken arcade games. Not kid friendly if your worried about adult language.
Was there during the day. Language was the issue. Mrs pacman just ate a token. Terminator right gun had no on screen aiming sights. 4 player battle Pac-Man has joystick broken. Off road racing game went dark.

The only complaint I have is that more times than not the pinball boards aren't calibrated correctly so magnet pulls happen more often than they should. They also don't rotate their arcade machines and I'm not super impressed by their arcade gaming options. Still a great place to hang out but I wish the owners took better care of the place.

In your 40's? I am & I can't believe I haven't been here before. SO MUCH FUN! So many childhood video game memories I forgot about. So many games. Atmosphere is fun. I brought my kiddos and wife (Kids can go with adult until 7pm) and they enjoyed too! Check it out. I don't go to bars but this is one I will I'll revisit soon. & it didn't smell like a bar either!
