This barcade is genuinely fun and offers a great variety of games that bring back a lot of nostalgia. The drinks, however, were delicious. Unfortunately, the experience was dampened by the service. The music was extremely loud, making it difficult to hear the bartenders, and interactions with them felt uncomfortable. When ordering a drink, their attitude came across as unfriendly and unwelcoming, which made me feel uneasy rather than relaxed. It gave the impression that they were unhappy working there. Despite this, I still gave them a tip to provide my enjoyable tasting experience and I still tried to make the most of the night by enjoying my time with my husband and friends.
A great time with retro and new school video games on deck. Aaron the bartender is maaad cool, put my group into a bunch of other places nearby to get a bite. Security was also surprisingly pleasant and cool too. 10/10 date spot idea or to get some drinks and rock pinball with the bros.
PAYGO barcade with a pat-down at the door. Tokens can be purchased with cash or with card (no fee). There's a sober area, but they also allow smoking in their atrium (split between the buildings). As you know these cabs are pretty pricey and eat tokens, others give you at least a few minutes of fun and if you're good a decent run at progression. One machine in my visit (e.g: TMNT) had sticky buttons. Most people were there for themselves and not really to socialize with others.
Great place to play pinball and grab drinks. The machines are well cared for, except for that earthshaker that was filthy, and priced really cheap. New games are only two tokens. It got a little hot as more people came in but that might be a me problem. Worth checking out.
The most amazing arcade bar in the world where they still charge you less per play and have amazing drinks and amazing prices. Real love letter to arcade games and my favourite place in the world . We were visiting from London. They have some really rare machines. I could stay here for hours. Much love and thanks for keeping this alive , I wish you all the success in the world.
