really chill spot filled with arcade games that are free. It wasn’t packed on a Saturday night which gave us space to try out a lot of the games that were there.
Beware the hardcore pinball enthusiasts that frequent the place because the games are free---they can be aggressive and competitive. The pizza we got was really not great. Drinks are a bit pricey to compensate for the free games. But the games are fun and this is indeed the biggest free arcade in town and the drinks themselves aren't bad.
We have always loved this place because of the wide variety of arcade games that are all FREE to play. And, now we have even more special memories because of the top-notch service when we hosted a private party. Our hosts and servers were incredible. We did not have time to ask for anything, since it was as though they anticipated our every need. The food was delicious and the drink package was so worth it. I would highly recommend for any private event that you are hoping to be well-served and have a good time!
Its like a big arcade with over 100 pin ball machine and games, they have some good craft beer on tap. Games are free to play. Good looked good but didn't have any. Staff friendly
A very fun bar with an arcade. They have pinball machines and old arcade games from my younger days. You order your drinks/cocktails from the bar area. I had a blast here and would definitely go back. Its a fun atmosphere and we went early enough that it wasn't too busy yet
