The Potion Portal is our favorite local barcade! The geek-grunge-retro atmosphere is immaculate. They have a great rotating selection of craft beer, hard cider & seltzer on tap and in-can at very affordable prices. Sunday night karaoke is super fun! The bartenders are great and personable - just really love this place. Hosted my birthday party here and they did an amazing job! Huge thanks especially to the manager, Kristin, for helping us have an awesome party!
Nice little bar to get away, play a few games, and have a couple drinks. Decent prices. Cool vibes.
I ate a bunch of mushrooms and wanted to play pinball. This place satisfied. The colors were great and the staff made me feel safe. That star wars machine y’all have is a mother father, I’ll be back for sure.
The bartenders was super kind and friendly. She also gave a great recommendation for a local spot to eat since this is a beer and wine joint. The pinball games are new and strong. What the air hockey table lacks un blowing power, it makes up for un free lives. The skeeball tables are alive and well. Their board game selection is overwhelming. They have two pool tables. All those factors make the bar an absolute win, and definitely worth your time, but the highlight of it all is the craft drought beer selection! Go for the beer, enjoy the games and atmosphere while you sip it! Thank me later.
We love going to this place! Such a friendly environment along with arcade games to play while you’re enjoying a few drinks!
