Play! Hoboken is such an awesome spot 🙌 There’s always something fun to do, and time flies when you’re here. The vibe is super chill, the people are great, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Perfect place to hang out with friends, play some games, grab a bite, and just have a good time. Definitely one of my favorite spots to unwind and have fun! 🎲🍕✨

Great for golf simulator, board games, card games, and a bunch of other activities. Staff is nice and get to know you if you come as a regular. Great mix of people and attendance (though weekdays are pretty dead). I love the old hobby shop vibe in here. Would love if they redid the bathrooms (clean and functioning but smelly due to old pipes) and replaced some old chairs and tables.

I really enjoyed playing some table top games I hadn’t seen in many years/seen online but not in real life. Staff was helpful. But place was so dirty and discomforting it was actually another level, and this guy Ian was a jerk to my kid. Totally hostile. writing this a while later because I’m still thinking about it.

We had such a great experience here. Minh was extremely nice to us and helped us in the most caring way. I came with individuals on the autism spectrum, and she was incredibly patient, respectful, and understanding. It made all the difference. The space itself was fun and welcoming, but it was the kindness and support that really stood out. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable we’ll definitely be back!

great place to just relax, spend the day and play different kinds of games, like arcade and board games. the pool hall is pretty big and spacious. its essentially got the layout of a old factory so its all very open. however, the food they sell is very low quality and definitely doesn't match up the price. they dont sell beer but will sometimes keep it cold (the owner is a big factor in this) but if you decided to have them store it for you, just know you wont necessarily get your drink. theres a lack of management and upkeep in the business which im afraid will be the eventual death of this place specially when theres talk of possible bowling lanes and expansion but you get rained on while playing pool and the balls always get stuck on the tables. the juxebox is also busted. the songs play fine but when your paid song plays on speaker the volume will drop to barely audible. they charge a lot for such lack of maintenance meaning theyre solely interested in making money. it all really falls on the owner, who is notorious for replying to every bad review and just making it so much worse. when i first visited this place it was a 5/5 but the more i visit the more i see and the less i like.
