Lovely place always enjoy it here, but not gonna lie the way their gender neutral bathrooms just seems like a way to cheap out instead of making separate bathrooms 😅

I/O Arcade Bar does not respect or care about the safety, dignity, and privacy of women at their establishment. I was recently here for a Mesh meetup event and was horrified to learn that I/O doesn’t have female only restrooms! I had to walk to the Wisco to go to the bathroom, and I basically returned, finished my drink/closed my tab at I/O, and left to go back to the Wisco. I feel safer at a biker bar than at an arcade bar!
Women deserve single-sex spaces! Men do too! Shame on you for disrespecting your customers like this. It’s disgusting, and how this is legal is beyond me. I’m going to tell everyone I know not to come here.

games are a bit expensive but it's always a fun atmosphere at i/o. lots of fun themed drinks and wide selection of games!
Great space and location. Not crowded at all and diverse areas to socialize along with a ton of wall to wall arcade games. Also has an area for playing provided table games for free. Bartenders were super nice and polite when I asked for a non-alcoholic beverage. Definitely will be returning to burn some quarters!

Had just heard of I/O ARCADE yesterday. Servers Molly & Zoe were total dolls! They anticipated my every need! Karaoke with Katie was real fun and packed the house! Super-comfy barstool and uber-friendly patrons. Enjoyed a Sal’s pizza too!

Vibes are great. They've got a nice drink selection, and some fun house cocktails. It's also far enough from campus to not be overflowing on weekends. Note, there's two types of arcade bars. Some charge an entry fee and then games are unlimited, others are classic arcades where you pay quarters at every machine. I/O is the second kind. They've got an ATM on site, but it's a good idea to bring some cash when you go.
