tons of excellently maintained pinball machine. a must if you are in SW Michigan. Wonderful arcade is packed with modern raw thrills immersive games and modern and classic pinball machines.
This place is awesome! Don't let it's non descript exterior fool you, Alleycat is a legit Arcade. It is packed wall to wall with games. The quality of the games are noticeable as well. The ski ball and air hockey table are top of the line. Paying for open play by the hour is much more enjoyable experience playing with our family and not having to involve money constantly. Personally I'm looking forward to going back to play the Star Wars Flight Simulation.
Pinball!!pinball!!pinball!! Love it newer games and well maintained. One of the best pinball palaces I've been to ?? check it out see if you can beat my high score
They are only open for private events. So don't expect to be able to enjoy it without reservations.
Fun place for a birthday party, so many games, very clean
We love this place! Highly recommend for your next party ??
Fun quiet place went to a birthday party and it was amazing all the kids and adults had a blast
Had a great time playing such a variety of pinball games and others.
Good old fun. Great atmosphere!
Great place to enjoy some pinball
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
