Aftershock Classic Arcade

So many arcade games to choose from!! Very, fun!

This place is SO FUN! We stopped here yesterday impromptu with a group of 6 12-year olds for my son's birthday. The gentleman working was super helpful and so friendly! He gave my son a free cup of tokens for his birthday, we let the boys play, and ordered pizza (which was delish)! $5 each kid and they were entertained for an hour and half. I highly recommend this place! Anywhere you can play Guitar Hero, BurgerTime, Mortal Kombat, and Golden Axe is a win in my book. Thank you Aftershock! We will definitely be back soon!

Great games, great atmosphere. Drinks are cheap and you get a lot of tokens to play the games. They also host events all the time. I live out of Madison and have been wanting to go to a retro arcade for a long time, and I was not disappointed. Always my go to place whenever I visit Madison!

This is, without a doubt, one of the best arcades in the Madison area! Bring cash for the tokens. Most old video games are one token (25¢), while the newer ones and the pinball machines cost more but are still very reasonable.

I spent a few days in Madison mainly to check out the arcade scene, and Aftershock was the one that I wanted to return to one last time before heading home. There are a lot of rare games here, and the pinball selection is great. They are very helpful if there is a problem with a game. I can't comment on the drinks because I'm not really into that, but the bartenders were so nice anyway and loved the games as much as I did. They don't have many food offerings, but they do have pizza and snacks, as well as a soda vending machine if you'd rather have that.

Awesome selection of vintage games. Pinball and video games to awaken your inner child and induce a surge of nostalgia.

Awesome games. Felt like a teenager again.

I love this bar! The workers are always nice, they always give you extra tokens if you have an issue with a machine, and they even started to recognize me when I come in! They also have little custom tokens instead of quarters (although all the machines take quarters too) which I just absolutely love. Heavy pours, pinball, and pull tab machine. What more do ya need?

Some of the games still need fixing. But overall it's a fun time that doesn't bleed your wallet dry. Always a pleasure to see Miranda bartending.

They actually have a good working Super Mario, so stoked!

This place is something special, and I’m glad I randomly stumbled upon it while staying here.

So many pinball machines I love this place

Great vintage games! In great condition! Full bar! Only problem, eventually I have to leave!

nice. you get free coins on ur birthday

we came back here after a bad experience, and had a great time! place was pretty packed, but it was a Friday so I completely understand. great place to hang out with friends

Always a great time when I come to enjoy some games and a drink! Mainly reviewing to update the menu since their site doesnt show a menu and the most recent one I could find was from 2022!
