Customer Reviews

Love the atmosphere, the staff is super friendly and inviting! The food was absolutely amazing, the wings were out of this world. Crunchy, saucy and you definitely get what you pay for. 10/10 would go again for a family fun night or just a night out!

Staff is incredibly friendly, games are a blast, all around great time last night. Didn't try the food yet but will say, the smells coming from the kitchen made me wish I had

I have a hard time writing this because if I give the review this place deserves, then a lot of people will come here. Seriously. The burgers and wings are the best in Scottsbluff. Our bartender made her recommendations and we followed them and she was ?? accurate. The rodeo burger was the best we've ever had. The wings far outpace what we've had before. The owners and staff are all very nice.

Great place for a family night out. Food is great and a variety of fun games.

We closed our store early tonight because we were SO excited to check this place out? The food was INCREDIBLE!!!! Flavor was so delicious I have no words? but after I completely over ate and gorged myself with a burger.. wings and desert? the quality of the food was so on point my tummy still felt ready to Go stand and play arcade games!!! We own the Hippie Witch and when we close early there will be a note on the door saying we are HERE at THIS establishment having the time of our lives and for you all to

I was really excited for this place to open. There was big hype. I came in Thursday night to check it out before I brought my wife and kids and glad I used correct judgement. I witnessed a child maybe the age of 10 years old sitting at the bar playing call of duty with intoxicated patrons at the bar. Their liquor license should be pulled for this alone. Out of all the games to play there, maybe 2 are child friendly, they have ticket slots that don't dispense tickets. Who plays ski ball without tickets? Seve

Damn good burger and fries!!! Fun atmosphere. These folks got it right.

And to think I almost wanted to move back to Sloan/Souix City in Iowa to work/play in the arcade there! This place; The atmosphere, food, & staff, RULE!!!

Awesome food was amazing and loved the pinball machines

Go support this small business. It's a refreshing addition to Broadway and we need more like it.

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.”
