Really enjoyed the event we had at versus. Good was fabulous Kelly was amazing in serving the drinks . She really made the place feel like home. I'll most definitely want to come back here
I want to preface this by saying my first time coming to this place was great and one of the most enjoyable places to go so I was excited to go back. However I showed up to VERSUS for a second time ever today, and before my friend and I could even get a word out the host with the glasses and flat top gave us both dirty looks and demanded our ID’s and continued to eye us down as he walked off. When we provided it he didn’t welcome us and did not offer us the opportunity to pay for the unlimited games. What a disappointment , I was excited coming here and walked out knowing Im never coming back !
Such a fun spot! Versus is the perfect mix of nostalgia and good vibes. The $5 entry fee for unlimited game time is such a steal - I ended up spending hours playing classics like Pac-Man, pinball, and Super Mario. They also have great food and drink options, plus student offers (which I loved!). The place has a lively retro atmosphere that makes it perfect for a night out with friends or a casual hangout. Definitely coming back!
Loved this space! Amazing bartenders and space - games could use bits of more attention but pricing is extremely reasonable.
Great bar, great staff, great video games! VERSUS is an amazing place for retro to modern gamers! The bar has consoles like PlayStation, Switch, and more. The three other rooms have arcade-style games from Skeeball to pinball to Time Crisis! They have all kinds of events like Super Smash Bros tournaments and more. $5 cover charge for entry but the games are free. The staff are super friendly and always down to have a quick match on Tekken while your food is getting ready! The mixed drinks are very creative and very tasty! They lay heavy in the video game culture, and you get to try the Nuka Cola when you get the chance. They do have a special craft beer from Clown Shoes that is worth trying! The rest of the beers are pretty much normal. The food is fantastic, instagrammable, and delicious! They could have given more of a portion but they saved on price. Overall, great spot in Downtown to have a quick bite and gaming sesh before the night winds down!

Retro gaming meets modern fun—unlimited play, great drinks, and lively vibes in Boston!
