What to Expect from Retro Games in Arcades

Step into the glow of retro arcade games and expect a nostalgic rush! Classics like Galaga, Donkey Kong, or Mortal Kombat await, housed in vibrant cabinets with joysticks, buttons, or trackballs. You’ll dodge enemies, chase high scores, or battle opponents in fast-paced, pixel-perfect gameplay. Modern restorations include sharp CRT or LED screens and authentic controls, preserving the 80s/90s vibe. Games are easy to learn but tough to master, offering quick sessions or deep challenges. With leaderboards and arcade crowds cheering, retro games deliver timeless fun in 2025.

What to Expect from Pool Tables in Arcades

Step up to a pool table and dive into a classic, hands-on game! Expect sturdy tables with smooth felt surfaces, cue sticks, and a set of numbered balls for games like 8-ball or 9-ball. You’ll chalk up, aim, and strike the cue ball to pocket balls with precision, mastering angles and spin. Tables are well-lit, often with vibrant designs, creating a lively atmosphere. Whether playing casually with friends or joining arcade tournaments, pool offers strategic, social fun that’s easy to pick up and endlessly engaging in 2025.

Customer Reviews

Our kids loved the arcade games. One kid played for free with each parent and our kids loved playing games for a few hours while we hung out. $10 per paying adult was a bargain! The bartender was really nice and even had adult coloring books for me to use while I hung out!!!

Drove down for a day trip, and stumbled into this place! Tammy was a fantastic bar tender, plus she was extremely helpful in making the entire experience a fantastic one!!! I had a blast with hubby playing some old school arcade games! Definitely plenty of fun to be had!!!!

Fun time for a great price! The drinks were tasty, the games were fun, and Danielle at the bar was great. Highly recommend for a fun night out in the Dells.

Danielle is AMAZING!! She is so sweet! So welcoming & we had the best time. Such a fun stop on our vacation. We will be back!

OH EM GEE, this place is amazing! Great games, and the bartender was HOT, and he makes great drinks too! Only $5 late night to play too, such a deal.

Danyelle was amazing!! The atmosphere was super fun for all ages.....Adults having a beverage.....kids entertained with the unlimited arcade games.....and super fun beers and THC beverage options were outstanding!!

Tammy was such a wonderful bartender and knew odd shots that I wanted for me and my friends. She was very knowledgeable about the games and explained how it worked very well. On a plus she was very friendly and fast!

First time here. Had some draft beer and played the slots. Very nice bartender-Cathy. Nice friendly place. Definitely recommend stopping in here.

Very cool bar atmosphere. Talked with the owner and bartender for a while about retro games. They have original Mortal Kombat units which is how I heard about the location so I just had to come check it out! Only thing to say else is that sometimes people will spend a long time on one machine you want to use

This place is awesome!! Homemade pizza & cheese fries!! Wonderful, and they serve after 9pm!! Tammy did a great job helping us out and serving us!?? And Games, pay $15 and get unlimited play!!

Dear owners, love what you're doing here. $10 all you can play. But for 2025, add a DDR and I'll change my review to a 5 star. You will get so much business?.myself and others included. Maybe a ps2 and projector setup?? Loved the n64. Well wishes, improvements and expansion for 2025!! ??

Hey this isn't hunter this is Emilee i visited this place and Danielle served me an was an amazing bartender and and needs a raise this place was very fun I highly recommend it.

Amazing hole in the wall kind of place. It's a small, intimate setting. Good drinks and good fun. Bar tender was incredibly friendly and funny, and other patrons were good company. Will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area

We stumbled across this bar while walking in the downtown area, we found a gem. Our kids loved the games and we were able to sit and have a drink. Our kids had a blast. Tammy was the best. She played with our kids whenever she had the chance. My son Charlie asked to go back the next day to see her. This is a great spot for games and great spot for families.

Awesome place to enjoy a drink and play a slew of arcade games at a reasonable price!

Tammy has been one of the best bartenders that I've ever had! Very fun and professional. Definitely knows how to keep a crowd involved and having a good time. 10/10 would recommend a stop in!

Came here just out of curiosity and ended up staying for the whole weekend. My wife and I loved having Tammy as our bartender and she kept the night fun and young and kept the amazing drinks coming. 10/10 would recommend and I know we will be stopping by again on our next trip to the Dells!

Fun place to hangout drink and play games!! I wished I had more time to hangout

Great newly opened bar in Wisconsin dells. Easily the best priced arcade in the dells with the best pool tables as well. The service was fantastic Tammy is one of the most welcoming and nicest bartenders I have ever had. Definitely check this place out.

This was SO much fun and nostalgic. We went after 10pm to take advantage of the $10 wristbands. The games were so much fun, the drinks were delicious, and our bartender was so friendly! Highly recommend as a fun and affordable experience in the Dells!

Just like Asgard, but just a bar with games... Old school and newer... Unlimited play! We spent hours there!

Came here looking for dart boards, they have 2. One is online one is local play only for those curious. Spent 3.5-ish hours playing, had a soda but could have had a beer, hard seltzer or th? beverage. Employee who helped us was rad (white beard, glasses) and super kind. For the 20-30 bucks we spent, we had a blast and will for sure come back when we are in town! During the day April to September you do have to pay to park at the spots outside the place but we went were there at 10 and it was free at tha

We stumbled upon this arcade bar by accident, but it turned out to be a highlight of our weekend! $15 got us unlimited games, and we played all evening! Pool, darts, and some great arcade games! The homemade pizza was great, but the pizza fries were incredible! The staff were friendly and fun. The ?barcade? was a blast! Definitely win!

Great place to hangout. Kathy W was a fantastic server/bartender. Our bachelor party group was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

We had fun here being able to hangout and play the games for only $5 with unlimited plays. The claw machines didn't work but we had fun bowling, mini golfing, shooting hoops, playing darts, and pool. Definitely worth the stop if you're looking for more than a barstool.

Enjoyed our time here. Loved the variety. It was pay a pass and get unlimited gaming all night. Machines seemed to be in working shape, bathroom felt clean, bar area. My favorite was the pool table since you can just have a beer and relax. Pretty chill environment.

Arcade was a blast. Lots of different games. Bartender Justin was friendly.

My first time there and I had a great time. My server was tammy and she was very easy to talk to and made me feel very Comfortable. I would recommend this bar to anyone. Definitely going back again.

Stopped by for a few drinks and some games. I've come across a few barcades similar to this while traveling and it's always appealed to me. Something cool and different about this one is you get game tokens when you buy drinks, so the more you drink the more you play. (You can buy tokens as well if you prefer) The bartender Alexis was very welcoming.

Jameson was wonderful and gave us history of the place and explained the specials! Great place great experience for all ages and people. Keep up the good work guys.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! food was great and servers were awesome ?? especially cuz it was new year's eve. LOVED THEM ?? will be going back next time i'm in the Dell's!!! High five guys!!!!

We had so much fun! Unlimited games for a $15 wristband! 10/10

Tammy was awesome to have as a bartender!! The bar was exceptionally clean and such a fun atmosphere!! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!!

Tammy is great! She sold everyone who came in wrist bands to play game and gave them details instructions on how to use the games! Very attentive and helpful.

Fun arcade games and reasonable prices for both the games and drinks. Great customer service from Tammy, she's been awesome both times I've been here!! Will definitely visit again the next time I'm in the dells.

Had a lot of fun after #beerfest owner was very nice guy and the guy bartender was funny.

It's a fun place! You pay a flat fee, and you can play all the arcade games all day. You can even come and go, he gives you a wristband for the day. Very nice guy!

It was originally advertised that you get tokens with your drinks, that's why I went here. No tokens, only wrist bands. The pizza had zero sauce and the bartender grabbed it and threw it away when we still had slices left. I will not be back.

Good selection of craft beer. Tammy was fantastic and the reason I shall return one day. A gem in the Dells

This spot is where it's at! Stopped in here on our little vacation. Kids had fun, adults had a blast too. Will be back every time we make it to the dells!

Decent place, said we could come and go throughout the day and told us they closed at 10. Went back at 6:30 and they were closed. Waste of money for the amount of time they were actually open until, especially when Google says they are open until 9pm.

Had the sweet apple garlic bread, so so good! Spent a lot of time playing golf and darts, definitely a great bang for your buck!

You pay a good and fair fee for all day unlimited games. Arcade and Alcohol it's pretty cool! Not to mention pool tables and darts and a punching machine!!! It's a pretty chill place guys!

Tammy did a great job! The games are so fun and are all classics! Pool and darts included!

Great place to play and drink !!

Danielle- like the best.

So much old school fun!!

Good food and quick service

Tammy was the best. Made me feel like she could be a great friend!!

Very clean place. Tammy, our bar tender was so nice and friendly. Great place to watch the game.

Kathy was awesome! Games are fun. We had a great time.

$10 unlimited play during the day and a good variety of games for the whole family. Very good service too

Great place to stop in! Tammy was taking care of us all night and helped our Wisconsin Dells experience!

Games were so much fun and the bartender was amazing! Tammy is the best!!!

Tammy was awesome she listened to my stories no one should ever have to listen.

Tammy is the best bartender in the dells. She never misses!

Right now, it's a smaller arcade with plans of expansion, but it's a nice cozy place to chill

The bartender was super friendly and helpful

A budget friendly Gen Xers heaven!

A total blast. Thanks for the hospitality, Tammy!

Such a fun place! Alexis is amazing!

Whomever the bar tender was, was a cool guy

Loved Tammy! Best service.

Joe was wonderful and personable

Really funny and good drinks

We decided to spend the afternoon after going to the water parks at Arcade PVP Bar. We thought we'd spend an hour, grab some beverages and let the kids play a few games. 3.5 hours later we had to add money for parking, the kids learned how to play classic duck hunt on the Nintendo and the adults talked to the owner and bartender for hours. What a great way to spend the evening of a vacation. HIGHLY recommend.

Such a cool atmosphere! Can't beat the prices! The pizza is delicious! Service was beyond amazing. 10/10 will be back!!

This bar might have been the highlight of my trip to the Dells! A fantastic and welcoming bartender Ali who went above and beyond to provide a quality experience (even finding where I could find a particular beer I liked in order to buy some to take back from vacation)! Great atmosphere and value for the area with 10$ all you can play arcade machines! A great place for families, or in my case daycare for a husband while the wife shops. If I ever rotten return to the Dells this will be a place I most look fo

Awesome place to play Arcade, Best place in town!!! Super friendly, Will visit here every time I come to the Dells

Definitely the best $5 I've spent in my life. I came to the dells for the weekend, and I'm glad I stopped in. If I lived around here, I'd definitely be a regular customer. Very chill vibe, and I would recommend buying the wristbands for the games

Really cool arcade with nes and n64 for some retro console gaming. They have pool, foosball, darts, golden tee and a lot of pvp style games (name lives up to the experience) only reason for 4 stars is because the pacman game?s joystick had some pretty severe drift and didn't have the games i enjoy at asgard. Still great games and pour great drinks. Awesome deal too!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Are retro games in arcades still good in this modern age?

Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
