Awesome experience here recently! Drinks were delicious and definitely priced well for how great they were. Games were a blast, and staff went above and beyond to help celebrate my friends birthday. Can’t wait to come back soon

They have a great selection of arcade games. X-men, Tron, Galaga, to Guitar Hero, Time Crisis 2, and House of Dead 2. Honestly some of best selection of arcade games I have seen in a while, but the issue isn't that. The issue was a good 1/4th of all the games weren't working. I would pick up some others games that weren't working without a sign on them. Basically A LOT of games weren't working. [Also tried to play the home consoles too and they weren't working either]The drinks were fine and the service too. [Also paid for air hockey and you have to hit the machine to make it work. ? ]Just fix your games and I will be back.

I took my cousin here for his 21st birthday. It was an amazing time! The bartenders are really nice, the atmosphere is super chill. There’s an outdoor area and really freaking good pizza. Prices are really good too, and drinks are strong.

I love this place, but they are NEVER open until 2:30 on the weekends. Last call is at 1am (1:30 if you're lucky). They have locked the doors at 1:30 before. And, it's not like the place is dead. I'll never understand why a place packed with people lined up at the bar trying to order drinks would kick everyone out and close early, but they do it every weekend. Don't they like money?

This place is magnificent! A little different than most barcades I've been to because you do have to pay for games but they have one of the most unique and extensive cocktail menus I have ever seen. This entire establishment is doused in childhood nostalgia and there really is something for everyone. We tried quite a few different things but our collective favorite was the pokeshots. We ordered the catch em all and all three shots were really well made.

Cool spot to hang and play some classic arcade.They have setups with all the classic console games as well. Everything is free to play except pinball, air hockey, and guitar hero.They have great pizza BUT, the staffing sucks. The last time I went they let us bring hound dogs pizza in because their pizza boy didn't show up for work. I haven't tried their drinks yet but my friends said the bar is great. Looked like there's lots of stuff on tap and I saw custom drinks as well.

This place was delightful! It was big enough that even when it’s crowded you can still play games and have fun!

Amazing place, atmosphere and staff! I went with friends a few weeks back and had a fantastic time. It's not too crowded, there are tons of games to play, with many on free play mode, and all of the drinks had cool retro game themes.

Great place to hangout and play some old school arcade games, pinball, air hockey, etc. Drinks are good and staff are nice. Can get kind of busy on the weekends but Sunday and weeknights aren't usually too bad. Don't forget you can get a Detroit pizza from Square Slice in the back room.

I really love the concept of this place and every time I been there before 8pm the games have been free. A great collection of gaming consoles both new and old as well as traditional arcade machines. The whole spot has a retro vibe to it that reminds me of donkey kong.. low to moderate prices with food service on location prior to covid and I think may have been restored at this point. One draw back... Satan worshipping not your thing? Then stay out of the bathroom. Some very confused folks apparently frequent the joint as well. Proceed with caution.
