The ambience is such a fun "way-back playback" to my high school days. I enjoyed the vibe a lot. The service was really good. The burger & fries was awesome. Even the bathroom was clean and nice. The volume was a little loud in general, but I'm more sensitive to that than most people. It's a fun spot to go on a date, or hang out with friends.

Had a small confrontation with another guest (whim we didn't know ans whom conformed us first) after we tried to delete the situation one of the servers/bartenders came up and asked the guys to leave. After the confrontational guest left. Another server/bartender came up to our group to make sure we were okay. Great service great drinks fun games and over all great vibe

This place is such a great casual place to hang out and have some beers. I had a pulled pork sandwich recently and it was great! My server Alex suggested it along with her other favorites and it was very helpful. Their fries were also seasoned very well and paired with their balsamic ketchup were a delight to eat. The decor is all very retro and adds a great vibe together with all the old-school arcade cabinet games. There are also newer games in the back for people of all kinds. If you have 3 friends and want to have an epic battle, the 4 person Pac-man game always gets the adrenaline going!

Small selection of beer but decent/small pub food menu. Decent cider selection as well. But of course the main reason you're here is to play arcade games you remember growing up as well as some more modern ones while drinking adult beverages! Cup holders on the games to help in that regard. Games aren't cheap but $20 of quarters can keep 2 of us busy for an hour and a half.

We absolutely loved it here! Brought back so many memories of the older games we played as kids...and the games we played only took a quarter to play which was great! The place was a little crowded because it's that amazing! Will definitely return....what a great idea , old school games, liquor and great music....who wouldn't want to hang out here?

Came for the games, stayed for the food; try the BLT with avocado, amazing! Service is fast and the food is always great, I just had the BBQ nachos and they were delicious. Wild selection of beer and cider, a few seltzers too. They have a 4 player Mario cart setup which is super fun! Lots of multi-player games and tons of single player games too

Awesome food, and awesome pinball!!!

Just an amazing place to eat and have a good time

What a fun place!! Took me back to my high school days with good old arcade games we all loved. The food was pretty good too. Pretty hoppin place on a Sat. night!
