A medium sized quarter arcade with lots of classic hits like NBA Jam TE, as well as lots of new age games like Death Ball, Killer Queen, and Enter the Gungeon! The classic games are entirely running on CRTs with the sole exception of Cruisn USA. Every game has a QR code sticker to report problems with the machine.

A great place for both groups and serious gamers to chill!

Molly is an amazing bar tender not to mention always upbeat and happy make sure to order the Bomb Pop it’s so good

The arcade game selection is amazing I literally jumped up and down for a childhood game you never see anywhere “BurgerTime”

I/O is always a great time, can be pricey after an hour or so, but always well worth it

OMG, I love this place! Nice selection of pinball & old school video games. Really really good tap selection. Even a couple ciders for SWMBO. Favorite game... Godzilla pinball!

Awesome place! Great games and great drinks! Would be 5 star if it wasn't for the gender neutral bathrooms. Lots of weird people around and when you get them drinking I could see it being an issue. The wife definitely didn't feel safe going in there alone.

First time here in Madison. Came here for a business trip and wanted to celebrate. Server took too long to serve us a drink. Are they not use to serving an Asian person here? They avoided us for 10 mins and served everybody else even though we sat down before them. This place really killed my vibe. Don't recommend this place for anyone who's POC.

Amazing music choices, cheap beer, great games. Most arcade bars I go to usually have bad games that are out of order. Not this place. WOOOOOOOOO cant wait to come back.

Allot of games I grew up with, plus some new ones. Extensive bar with cool staff. Even a place for sit down board games or a TV with multiple player Switch platform. But what blew my mind, is that there was a food truck parked right outside! ? I don't know how often that happens, but I love business supporting business. Local fare. Clean and welcoming environment. Eclectic and nostalgic games. There's even a toy and collectible store next door! Check out the whole neighborhood and be part of something bigger.

Jason is literally the best bartender I’ve ever encountered! He is kind, his drinks are FAB, and he makes I/O FUN!! Jason is the reason I’ll come back.
