I love this place and it’s location up here instead of being close to the downtown area. Lots of decent interesting games. I will have to agree with other reviewers on the stank. I guess the Pump It Up and In the Groove crowd be working up a sweat or something. The smell was a bit too much. Need to employ a commercial air deodorizer or purifier in that area. Gagged upon walking in but had endured anyway. Crane game was lacking in interesting prizes. Asian crowds just can’t help ourselves to them but this time around, it wasn’t worth it. Love all of the rhythm, and hell bullet games though. Here’s to hoping they’re gonna stick around. We need more arcade shops like this. Maybe a wall of gacha for collectors too 😂

Brought the kiddos out to try this place. We spent a lot of time here and really enjoyed everything about it. It is a small place, but it has plenty of games. I loved that though it was mostly adults, not one person was bothered by young children. Lovely atmosphere.

A relaxing atmosphere with a friendly staff. Drinks can be brought in. However, the sit down arcades are basically just PS4 consoles with a fancy interface. It gave me sort of a cookie cutter vibe. Place is very small. I didn't quite get the value that you can get at other nearby establishments. All in all, not a bad experience though.
