Arcade Legacy Sharonville

The wife and I are pinheads and the pinball machines here are AWESOME! They have some older style ones that are free-to-play, while they have around 30ish newer machines which are $0.50 per play. The machines are very well-maintained; rarely do I have a stuck ball or other issue. As for the rest of the place, it looks really cool. Some awesome arcade games that I've never seen anywhere else. Lots of rhythm games too, I didn't even know that many existed! Also, many other cool unique game offerings. They als

A great place for fun and games. They have most arcade and older style pinball for a low hourly or all day rate. Premium or newer pinball are $.50 per game, with some great choices. It's a great place for family game night, a date night or a rainy afternoon.

There was a large selection of pinball games &older arcade games so even though it was kind of crowded we still had fun! There is a bar in the building so people are walking about drinking while playing games but it was a good atmosphere &I would still say it was a good place for a family outing.

Loved this place at every previous location, and this one is the best of them all. Just a cover charge to get in (by the hour or all day), and all the machines inside are on free play (except for a premium pinball area that takes quarters). Great atmosphere, plenty of room to navigate, and a massive selection of games. Also a huge media store for used games, movies, etc. And if you wanna play one of the games for sale, there's a console area in the basement with massive projector screens (with low lag!) and

Wow! What a throwback to my youth. There were all kinds of super cool games that I used to play when I was younger. And there are a myriad of pinball machines. It was amazing to walk around and look at them all.$10 let you play everything all day except for the top tier pinball machines. They are only $0.50. I definitely recommend going here. It's certainly won't break the bank, and it is simply lots and lots of fun.

Incredible cabinet selection, pretty shocked there's an arcade with this particular repertoire of games, pretty clear that whoever maintains this place really loves arcade games. $10 for the day pass is honestly a steal, everything works great and there's lots of games for a variety of skill levels. ITG cabinet is particularly amazing kudos to whoever is doing that. I'll be returning for sure!!

Finally got to go with 2 of my nephews on Friday night and it was very busy...and it was great! The real highlight is how many pinball machines they have...also like the fact they have so many vintage arcade games on multiple floors, I will definitely be back..

So much potential, great selection of games and pinball machines. But PLEASE do something about the smell and poor airflow. The entire place smells like urine and dirty socks. It's stuffy, hot and humid. (Just open the doors or add some large fans.) This place could really benefit from a deep-clean. I feel like I need to take a shower after I visit. I would love to spend more time and money here.

Mom from the 90s here. My kids are age 7, 9, 10. This place is so fun and affordable. $5 for an hour and access to almost all games. $10 for unlimited on 75% of games. The paid pinball games are only 0.50 with real quarters and a quarter machine. Fun musical games including drums and DJ WITH turntable game. Korean and Japanese games with english instructions. Clean, open spaces, multi- level. No game cards, no rewards games for your kids to waste money on. I'm here on a Sunday at 2. Just wish they sold snac

Our family loves coming here! Great variety of games and sometimes you get to see pinball tournaments/leagues! They also have drinks for $1 if the bar is closed & cup holders on the machines! Definitely one of the reasons the place stays clean!

Very interesting retro arcade. It cost $10 per person for an all day pass. Also has a console area, pinball. They also sell console games, anime, and has a small section of table top role playing games.

Amazing classic arcade experience at a fair value. Finding an affordable way to have fun can be harder now than ever. If you are a fan of arcades and or classic video games then this is the place! Tons of options available on the all you play option. Pinball, Pac-Man, DDR, Donkey Kong, Fighting and shooting games. We went at night and while it wasn't necessarily not a family friendly place at night it does have a more adult vibe and a full bar. The location also has a pretty good retro game store as well as

Was a cool place retro nice Price cool games very laid back and fun . Very cool artwork need more ventilation in the back smelled like musky feet

Possibly the best entertainment deal in Cincinnati! One low price to get in, all the pinball and arcade games you can play, and premium pinball is only $.50 per game. Clean, well-run, amazing games selection and a bar to boot. Super family-friendly, great for dates, and honestly I just go solo after work for some pinball fun. Regular competitions and tournaments for pinball, consoles and arcade games? it's a gamer?s paradise.

Had a blast looking at the shop and playing some games. Unfortunately UMK3 was out of order. The place is alot bigger than the outside building put ons. I went there early during the day so the bar was closed (not a drinker anyways). They have some some imported games from Japan which is neat to play. They have consoles and fight game machines on the bottom floor. Only have to turn in your ID in order to get controllers for them (stops you from stealing obviously). $10 for the day is an amazing price for th

Many older tables to choose from for a per hour fee. Many premium current games for $0.50 per play. Many older tables I had never seen live. Great selection.

Absolutely incredible arcade- SO MANY GAMES!! The staff are so friendly, the vibes are great, and there is a plethora of people of all varieties playing games! I didn't know about a handful of the games and anyone I asked were more than happy to tell me about them! Great place!!

Great Arcade and game store. Not a pinball fan myself but likely heaven for anyone who is. I stick with the arcades...particularly the oldest game. The younger crowd seems to like some of the other machines. Console gaming available - tournaments - food - etc. If this is your jam you need to visit.

Awesome arcade. Wide range of video games including DDR and Japanese rhythm games. 74 pinball machines !Media store with vintage games, consoles, movies, collectibles. Bar is open, food still coming soon. Pinball tournament every Thursday. Ask about birthday parties and private events, best deals in town. All inclusive safe space, fun for the whole family.

Wonderful family atmosphere. I have been a customer of theirs for over 15 years. The party space is amazing and the price is very affordable. I encourage anyone who loves games and wants a wonderful experience to come and see why I have been with them for as long as I have.

Found this gem three weeks ago and have been back twice with plans to go back again Sat. Friendly people and great value for drinks and all day pass. Check it out if you like arcades or pinball. They also have some nice collectibles as well.

Super Fun Arcade!! $10 to play 20+ pinball machines and 60 other arcade games for the whole day. Fun for all ages, look forward to bringing my kids!

This review?s been long overdue. I've been an on-and-off again patron for many years. A lot of the reviews here praise Arcade Legacy as a venue for PLAYING games, and for good reason. Selection?s vast, bar?s nice, and it's good way to have a fun evening without breaking the bank. However, I wanna give special mention to my primary use case for the business, which is BUYING games. As someone who's been into collecting games for 15 or so years, I've never enjoyed just buying what I want online. There's no ex

Bar manager is an absolute tool. Zero customer service skills or just overall decency, talks to his buddies sitting at the bar instead of serving customers. Condescending to the point he will follow you around to condescend more. The strangers next to me even made a comment to me about how weird he was being to us. Dude shouldn't even be working a bar let alone managing anything. Sucks cause I come here all the time and usually have no problems and am a very generous tipper but this guy is making it hard to

If you grew up in the 70's/80's arcades and loved them...THIS IS YOUR PLACE !!! A lot of the classics you'll remember, and new games like the dancing games and "rhythm games". Legacy also has all the newest/hottest pinball machine !!! Only 50 cents a game too !!! And...a lot of the older machines are free with arcade admission !!!

We had a birthday party there last night for thirteen 15?16-year-olds. Evan helped set up as many tables and chairs as we needed. He was very helpful. The room is comfy with two couches. The party room was great for the two hours we had it. The teenagers stayed playing games until 11pm with the all-day pass. They love the big screen Mario Cart and Rock Band, but all the arcade games, pinball, and DDR kept them happy as well. Love the murals too!

Went here to kill some time before we could check into our hotel. As someone that's from Columbus I don't know if this is how arcade places are in Cincinnati but this one is lame. In Columbus they have arcade bars and the games are free and you just get drinks. It's open to young people until 8 and then later it's 21 and up. This one you have to pay to play either for an hour or all day. Many of the games didn't work and the pin ball machines were unclear which ones were free or you had to pay extra for and

This is a recurring night out spot. There is a wide assortment of games, both vintage and Japanese, plus a ton of pinball machines. $10, all you can play, is a great and affordable deal. There are two bars-one upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs, you can rent a variety of game systems to play. They also have a store to purchase games, vintage items, Pokemon cards etc. This is such a fun place for all ages.

Came here a few weeks ago with a group of friends and we had a great time. The first floor has a wide variety of arcade machines and the lower floor has a ton of consoles and fighting games along with a big scrabble board. It's a great deal to get in for a night and you can leave and re-enter if you have a wristband from paying. It can get a little cramped on weekend nights when it's at its busiest but overall a great experience!

BEST PLACE IN THE TRISTATE **updated*** They now have the arcade AND BAR officially open! They replaced kareoke with rhythm game night on mondays and they havebthe local weekly pinball tournaments every thursday. Great place rlto book a private party as well they have a separate room with a PS5 and projector screen set up*** Absolutely love this place. I've been going since High School, when they were in Forest Fair/Cincy Mills and im so happy for them to have this new location. The Official arcade part isn

An amazing place to relax and have fun! Always a great selection of games and collectibles to choose from, and their admission price for their arcade is unbeatable. $10 for the entire day or $5 for an hour. My personal favorite game to play is Capcom?s classic Alien vs. Predator, but there's an huge selection of old and new to choose from! Instead of going to someplace like Scene75 or Dave & Busters, check this place out!! It not only supports a local business, but saves you a LOT of money :)

This place is great. Lots of games and for a reasonable price. Great selection of games to purchase as well. My only complaint is that ALL of the class A pinball machines are not part of the hourly play fee. I'm fine with some of them...they're expensive...I get it. However, you need to sprinkle a few of them into the free to play rotation. Every single must play pinball was not available without quarters. That was pretty disappointing.

The man at the front desk was very kind. I came in my with my girlfriend, we went downstairs to play the Nintendo switch (Mario kart). The man downstairs was not overly kind and very condescending to my girlfriend when she told him their controller didn't work. Not overly a big deal but just an overall bad experience. We left with everything okay but will be back.

SUPER COOL PLACE FOR 10$ ALL DAY PLAY. I have a few things though. Bar service tonight (1.26.25) my boy needed some help. I couldn't even get a water from him in 20-30 minutes. SO WATER STATIONS With all the people and kids I felt a little germed out and think you should have hand sanitizer every 20 feet. Other than that we got to bring our own food and game out for 3 hours and I couldn't even go downstairs. Arcading here in 2025 really feels like it's 1990

Awsome place brought back memories from when I was a kid playing the pinball machines and older arcade games definitely worth goin to. Best arcade place I've been to in a long time!

Perfect place for a family to enjoy some gaming. Great pricing,also has tons of games to purchase for the house. Love the pin ball games. Be a few times now and never disappointed.

This little gem was right across from the hotel we stayed in. I wish I knew it was there sooner I would have spent way more time in there. This great stop has a ton of the classic arcade games from my youth. Mortal kombat the Simpson game a pac man vs set up and pinball galore. I haven't even seen a real pinball game in years. Did I mention a bar for the grown up kids also. Will definitely plan on spending time in here the next time visiting cinci.

This place is an absolute blast, radiating an incredible vibe that pulls you in! Every moment spent here is definitely worth the price of admission. Don't miss out on the fun!

Hi there! My name is Bunny (or Bun! on most games) and I go to Arcade Legacy almost every weekend. I'm going to be giving you some reasons why Arcade Legacy is the best arcade and why you should give them all of your time and money. Note that this review may be out of date (made 2/21/24). The first reason you should go to Arcade Legacy (or why Arcade Legacy is the best) is that the price for entering the arcade is really low. Its $5 for an hour and $10 for unlimited time/for the rest of the day (you can al

Love this place!! Tons of games and pinball. $5 for an hour and $10 for unlimited is a great deal! Pinball machines take quarters, but some have free play on occasion. Can't beat the value and vibe of this place!

The best arcade in Cincy by a long shot. The selection of games is great especially if you like Japanese rhythm games or pinball. The price for unlimited play is really cheap and they've always got great things for sale in the media store. And they're always adding new games and expanding. Plus they have a bar now!

This is an excellent place to burn a bit of time and chill out. Theyre still getting settled in, but the staff is incredibly friendly, the bar has great cocktails and beer on tap, and prices are very reasonable Keep it up guys! Gonna have to make it a regular stop on my hometimes!

Pricing on games was unreasonable, the arcade was nice enough, but the ganes they were selling looknas if they were never cleaned plus a number of the bixed games were really groody. Funtime if you just want to play arcade games but there are much better places to buy retro videogames from

Amazing staff great deal hope they get more food. Will be spending lots of time here. Awesome store as well. Get the monthly membership!!!

$10 gets you an all day wristband. Many machines (pinball and video games) to choose from. Some of the premium pinball machines require an additional 50 cents per play on top of the cover charge. All the games we played worked well and are well maintained. Staff was courteous and helpful. Will visit again when we are in the area.

This was a cool experience. $5 per hour to play as much as you want. It brought back so many memories of my teenage life. I still remember going to get rolls of quarters and playing for an hour or two. Did notice a few that would not run or hesitated while running but hey they are 30+ years old. The best play option seemed to be pinball. I wish they had more driving games.

Like gamestop on crack. Come get drinks or buy vintage video games and consoles while you enjoy their arcade. They have a wide selection of everything from collectibles to manga as well. Worth a visit!

This place is so fun! Very reasonable pricing and so many options for games. We always have a great time.

Love the fact that this place combines game media store & arcade with a wide variety of classic cabinet games to modern rhythm games to pinball all the while a bar located inside! Well worth the price, a fantastic way to spend our whole evening with a group of friends visiting!

Tremendous value and a fun way to an evening for just $10. I make sure to visit every time I'm in Cincy.

We LOVE Arcade Legacy! We have brought so many people there who ended up falling in love with it too. Been a loyal customer with them since they were a bit isolated in Cincinnati Mills mall. Since they've moved to Sharonville, it's really blown up and expanded. We don't get out there as much as we used to since having a baby but still so supportive and always recommend people to go check it out. Great prices. Great people. Great games. And once their kitchen opens, it's going to be a whole new level we cann

Classic and new arcade games on the first floor with free pinball machines. In the back there is a bar area that will be opening soon with paid pinball ($0.50) that are updated frequently. Downstairs you can rent/play console games of all types from practically any era.

If you are after Retro Games and a great price! This is the store for you. Largest selection of Video Games , Arcade Games , Pinball Machines all of the fun stuff. Good luck beating the owner Jesse at Pinball as well!

Incredibly rude associates!!! We're visiting from out of town and decided to stop in just play a few pinball games. Website said it was open til 1AM, we arrived at 12:30. Only wanted to play 2 or 3 games and leave. They RUDELY let us know they closed in 30 min. Then at 12:50, as we were finishing up, another associate tells us it's 10 til and to make this our last game. Which we were already doing. Even leaving they were unfriendly. There's a way to speak to people, especially paying customer visiting your

Great Arcade room, with a large selection of games. The place was bigger than I expected. There's also a full bar/seating in a back room/area which was cool to see.

Fantastic place. It's like $5 per person per hour. Tons of arcade games and an enormous selection of pinball machines, about half of which are free and included on the $5 fee, And the rest are pretty cheap. They also have a very affordable bar. Of the local arcades with similiar business models this is the best in the area. Also a great place for kids birthday parties, they have rooms underneath for parties and my niece and all her friends had an amazing time here. They also sell obscure collectables and ga

Stood inline at the bar for 10 mins being overlooked by the bartender. Cash in hand and still no service. This is the second time this has happened. What I get for going to a place that has no value. Won't be back.

Really great place that had a ton of pinball machines and fun arcade games including some really obscure Japanese games (like a game that was a literal piano) Finally got to try out the iconic Japanese taiko drum game (saw people play it on Youtube and really wanted to play it as it looked fun) and got the high score on the theme song from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (Power Rangers Ninja Steel)

Affordable entertainment. Two words you almost never find in the same sentence. Arcade Legacy has done something truly remarkable at capturing the perfect balance of nostalgia and family entertainment. If you're looking for something different to try that won't break the bank, this is it.

mainly went to play rhythm tengoku, was pretty fun and theres a good selection of games. seems some people tend to hog certain machines the whole day though lol

Awesome spot. 10 bucks all you can play for a day. My kid loved it

I really had a great time here as a part of a friends birthday! It is a good value for the money if you enjoy well-maintained classic/imported arcade games. They are very accommodating to parties and large groups if you organize with them in advance. The only things I wish here are that there were multiples of some of the most popular games, and more Shmups (if they got Cave games I would never leave). Those are just personal preferences though that don't reflect on the business, and should not discourage a

Some of the controls on cabinets were not working but a pinball tourney was going on so I wasn't upset. Good selection of games and super friendly staff.

I used to go to the Arcade Legacy at Cincinnati Mills with my dad when I was in high school and we both would play different games, sometimes go against each other. He passed away a couple of years ago and I was sad when I thought Arcade Legacy was closed for good, but when I found out it was alive I went there and got to play the games that I remembered playing at the Cincinnati mills one and the ones my dad would play like Galaga and the pinball machines. I'm very sentimental that something like your vide

Loved it! Will definitely be back ??

Great place and great daily rate to play alot of classic games. My personal favorite is the PacMan Battle Royale game.

We had my husband's 30th birthday here and it was amazing! Great space and pricing was on point! We had at least 20 people and the room never felt crowded. He also now does their pinball tournament every Thursday. Our kids love all the game choices and never want to leave when we go. Best family friendly and pocket friendly place around.

This new location is pretty awesome. Solid selection of games. The pinball area is pretty large and has some neat units to play on. It's 2024 and the pricing system remains the same as the days when I was heading to the mall to play. The owner here does a fantastic job at maintaining everything and ensuring experiences go smoothly. I can't recommend arcade legacy enough. I absolutely love dropping in.

Truly a one of a kind place. Such a wide array of new and old arcade cabinets and pinball machines. I feel they had something for everyone, from casual to hardcore gamers and anyone just looking for a great time.

Arcade Legacy is an amazing spot if you like video games of any sort. It feels like they have everything! There are a ton of options from classic pinball to PS5 and Japanese arcade games. I absolutely recommend people try it out. There's also a bar which is a big plus!

Went here with a friend while on vacation, best decision of my life. When I come back I will be coming back here too, this place has everything.

Great bargain, good beer selection, super friendly staff, and creative selection of games. Highly recommend it!

Awesome local hangout for all ages. The staff is always kind and friendly. They have A TON of different pinball machines, gaming consoles, and stand-alone arcade classics. My personal faves are the rhythm games sprinkled throughout. They have a bar, but are family friendly too. If you're having a big group event, just call/plan ahead for policies and availability (they host frequent tournaments is all and are kinda a local hotspot) they're more than willing to work with you.

Very good to have a nice Bonding with friends. 1st floor offers legacy 32 bit arcade games and pin-ball machines, pre 1st floor offers an bar with gaming accepted (must present ID), basement level 1 has 3-5 games fun to play with, and basement offers desktops, PlayStation, and Nintendo switch (must present ID), and includes an party room (contact company for rates) over all this place is great to just have fun all this access for only $5 per person. I would love to come again on some other weekend.

Arcade Legacy in the Cincinnati Area was fabulous! I'd totally recommend it for any gamer. They had it all! Almost every notable arcade imaginable from the 80s and 90s with actual CRTs plus plenty of modern titles. It's paired with a used game shop with everything under the sun, including loads of rare gems. Definitely worth the trip!

It was fine. Seemed reasonably priced. Went in the afternoon. Played what we wanted to play. Didn't buy the wristband as we just played pinball, which is .50 a game.

I love arcade legacy! Best in the biz if you like arcades, pinball, beer, retro gaming and especially parties! I was so happy they accommodated my basketball team party. All I had to do was call ahead and schedule it! Very easy and the staff was amazing. 10/10 would recommend to anyone out there.

From Jacksonville Florida, randomly found this place and absolutely fell in love with it. I bought Sonic and knuckles and some Pokemon cards from the store inside as well as played some very old school pinball machines as well as Joust, Silent Scope and DDR. Also had some great locally crafted alcohol drinks. This place is great and everything about it is great. I highly recommend checking it out!

Love this place !!! All you can play for all day for $10, you can't beat it. I'm also running a pokemon club/tournament there monthly and you can get in for $5 then :^)

Excellent variety of pinball and games, with a high level of maintenance and availability. Helpful staff and a comfortable environment.

Great place for old video games and old consoles. Great place to go if you like to play pinball and other arcade games.

I've been here four times now since they opened just over a year ago. The game selection is fantastic. The pinball tournaments are expertly run, the other players are courteous and the old pinball machines are free, the new ones cost 50 cents (which is half what I'm used to in Columbus.) If you have a big party, call in advance to reserve an area. Also, they have lots of free parking and clean restrooms.

Great array of games. $10 for unlimited play, excluding some pinball machines which are 50 cents a play. You need to reserve an area if you want to bring a group of people. Otherwise, you won't be able to sit at a table for long. They don't want you to bring in outside food and drinks unless you have a reservation. They would make an exception though because their kitchen isn't ready to cook food yet. If you want to buy a soda, you need to purchase two things to use a debit card. Love the unlimited play pr

I heard about this place while doing a google search on arcades near me. Took out the family just to spend some time outside of the house and maybe have some fun. I'll be honest, I thought it was going to be lame. I was totally wrong. This is probably the coolest arcade I've ever been to. They have all the great retro arcade games that I grew up playing. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back soon.

Pretty middle of the road games, weren't honest about history of PSVITA (it was jail broken) and then was declined a full refund all within 20 minutes. Won't be coming back here.

The best arcade I've ever been to. Everybody is friendly, the machines are all authentic and maintained, and the prices are the best by far compared to all the other arcades I've been to. I come here twice a week or more and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

This was my first time coming to the new location finally. Very fun experience. I give this a perfect 5 stars from me. Went here with a couple of friends. There are so many classic and vintage games here and new games also. ?????? It's a really well-rounded arcade. And the bar was very convenient also ?????? all the people were very polite.

Awesome arcade, tons of cool pinball machines (some free, some paid), every console game I could think of, rock band, Mario kart, all that good stuff? some really cool foreign games that I'd never heard of but are also fun. My favorite cabinet is definitely World Series 99 though. Been coming here since it was in northside, and in the mall.. worth the extra drive it is for me now, and there's so much more space! Place is huge compared to opening day at even this location, I love it. Great value for $10 ?a
