About I/O Arcade Bar

I/O Arcade Bar is a neon-lit haven for grown-up gamers, offering a solid selection of well-maintained games, from classic arcade titles to modern pinball machines. The pinball variety is extensive, featuring everything from vintage classics to modern premiums, ensuring there's a perfect table for every pinball junkie. The drinks menu is creative, with themed drink specials and amazing artwork, making the drinks tasty and reasonably priced. The overall environment is pleasant, with a board-game nook and plenty of activities to enjoy, even when busy. However, the venue can get crowded, especially on tournament nights, which may attract a particular clientele. Some guests have noted a slight weakness in food options, which is understandable due to concerns about drink spills near the expensive games. They also enjoy fun event nights, including Drag Bingo. Despite occasional issues with machines not accepting quarters, the arcade is widely praised for its great games, fair token prices, and friendly staff, making it an ideal spot to enjoy time with friends or family.
