We came from Nova Scotia, Canada, and we were looking by for something cool (literally with AC) to do after spending the morning at the Stockyards. The staff here were so kind and welcoming! I think it was like 12 dollars for your wristband that gives you unlimited plays on every game, and about 5 dollars for a fountain drink with unlimited refills. It was a great way too cool down, wind down and enjoy some games! Great for any age, really!
Wow this is a rare gem! Great price of only $12 for all day and unlimited games, and there is a lot of them! They also have food for purchase, a bar, and $4 unlimited fountain drinks. I wish I had a place like this in my town, great for all ages! Definitely recommend to locals and tourist!
I'm not much of an arcade game person or beer drinker but I still enjoyed myself. Love that you pay one price and don't have to worry about paying to play any of the games. The one game I wish they had was skeeball. I did enjoy shooting hoops though, plus they have pool tables and air hockey. Tried playing the floor game that operates like Simon Says but it kept glitching on us. As I said, I'm not much of a beer drinker but the butter cider was actually quite tastey and the pizza roll was delicious; full o
Really great concept, & this place is huge! We stayed for roughly 4? hours & still really only probably hit about ? of the games. Great selection! The in-house beers & ciders were really good, the pizzas were outstanding, & the staff was friendly! We'll definitely be back! Would 100% recommend a visit here!
I recently visited Fort Worth and checked out Cidercade, a fantastic bar and arcade that offers a nostalgic mix of retro games and pinball machines, making it a perfect spot for all ages. Having been to the ones in Dallas and Austin, I found this location to be even more spacious and expansive. The variety of games was impressive, and I was especially intrigued by the lava floor game, which is perfect for group fun. Whether you're visiting as a couple or with family, this place offers a great time for every
I use to love to eat there because it had high quality food and the staff prepared it with love. However since Manager Mr. Hunter took over-I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE PIZZA. He has INSTRUCTED THE STAFF HOW HE WANTS THE FOOD TO LOOK. Examples included with this review. I was very hungry and wanted to take my grandson out for a treat. This ruined the expertise. We're going back to CHUCKY CHEESE OR MR. GATTIS FOR PIZZA AND FUN.
So fun!!! Also the food has no business being that good. I'm not even a big video game person but went with my family. We were there for 4 hours and could have stayed longer. So much fun!
Lots and lots of games!!! 22 pinball when I was here last. I'm a big pinball fan and they have some great tables. But they have a great selection of classic and new games all in great condition. A couple of repairs needed, but for the number of games, not a big deal. Food was good. Pizza, nachos, salads, quesadillas, and the like. Mostly cider cause well it is called Cidercade. Sooo.. but good ones I tried a few and no bad ones so far.
Very fun experience! I like that you don't have to deal with coins/ cards/ tokens to play! Drinks are god and reasonably priced! Super fun for adults and teens! I will definitely be back :)
So fun! I've been 4 time since April and it's chill and really a vibe. Super busy on the weekends and slow during the week. Best day to go is Wednesday!! The cider isn't my fave but I don't like beer but I liked the Bev drinks
Well, the ambience is fun. Took me back to when I was a kid. Food was just ok. It said grilled chicken and it was more like shredded chicken. I made my own nachos and you pay for each topping. I certainly didn't get the extra cheese, or much chicken. But when I went to the counter, they were super cool and gave me the extra you see in the pic. I might order them again, but without the meat. Alcohol- to me, it's just gross. I ordered the flight which is 5 sample sizes. I like a sweet drink, not dry, not b
First time customer and it did not disappoint! I got a coupon in my emails for $1 admission (each) for myself and everyone in my group so I convinced my coworkers to join me after a day of work. We had ciders (dreamsicle was delicious) and pizzas for dinner and then spent the rest of the night playing games. My favorite game is the floorboard (same one as the one from Activate). There are a ton of different mini games on the floor board and we ended up playing most of our rounds with complete strangers an
Great place. Very fun atmosphere. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. There's tons of games to play including pinball, basketball, ping pong, etc. The food wasn't bad either. Kinda of like bar food. The pizzas were actually pretty tasty. Will return.
Great place for the family. I loved the unique soda flavors. Plenty of games. Food was easy to order. We went with ages 6-60 and everyone had a wonderful experience.
This place is huge! And their pizza is some of the best I have ever had. Bar pie. Home of the thin slice. Amazing drinks, amazing pizza, amazing atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Came here for my daughter's birthday party. Lots of room to have fun!
Crowded when we get there mid-day, but still plenty of games to play. Draft coders were expensive ($8) for a small cup, but lots of delicious flavors to choose from. Definitely will be back!
Sooo much fun and pizzas are delicious!! Game variety is great. Ciders are good, specially the pomegranate lavender one. Lots of areas to hang out too!!
This place is always been a lot of fun! I'm not a big fan of FP only because Cidercade has more newer age games that I enjoy. Not to mention, they sell cider, they have amazing pizza, and they have plenty of seating to just hang and chill with friends and family.
This place is awesome! We've been a couple of times before usually it is a lot louder! Became during the day while school was going on! Pretty much had the place to ourselves with all of our friends.
Had a blast with our teenage boys here this weekend. The variety of games keeps you busy with little to no wait time between games. Most of the food was a little expensive for the quality, but the pizza was delicious!
Fun family-friendly outing. Good options for old video games and pinball machines, newer style games, and activities for the modest entry fee. They have also recently added an additional room that has pay-as-you-go games like a multi-player LED floor and claw games. We will go again for a fun afternoon or evening.
Super fun place to go! My son and I came here for the first time and just had sooooo much fun. It's crazy that you pay an entry fee and play all the games you want for free!!! The place is huge! There are so many games to choose from! The pizza is AMAZING and the cider options are delicious! We spent hours here!
Hosted my son's birthday party and it was seamless! Easy check in for us and our guests, the kids all enjoyed it and the parents too. Will def be returning!
$12 gets you free play on all games for that day. The bar and much more games are in the back so don't be fooled when you walk in. Pretty straight forward stuff when it comes to an arcade. Lots of classics from different decades. Really good atmosphere and great place for your family or work social event. Staff is cool, too! Give them a try!
This place is amazing. Lots of games that range in age and a great place to spend a few hours just having fun.
The game selection is amazing; from original Mario arcade to the newer shooter and driving games. Pool tables, pinball, and the pixel floor game are also wonderful. This location offers some good food options. So why 4 stars instead of 5 you might ask. Cider in my opinion should not taste like a beer. Cider should have a fermented apple taste to it, as that's how hard ciders are made. If you're not particular about your ciders or beers then you'd give it 5 stars. If you are then ask for a sample taste befor
We had an excellent time here. My kids are 15, 11, and 5. Never got bored, just tired. They have little plastic stools for the young ones to play all the games. Staff was excellent and I can count on 1 hand the games we saw out of order. Food was good and not overpriced. $4 cups with bottomless refills for non alcohol. I had 2 "bock bock beers" and they were hearty. Wife had a hard tea and a bananas foster, both pretty tasty. Price was a bit steep for alcohol but the entire trip was cheaper than all attract
The pizza is great! Don't change the dough! It's the bomb! The cheese is stringy and delicious and the drinks are a pleasant experience to explore. ??
My son and I absolutely loved this place! They have a huge selection of arcade games, and their unlimited pass is very affordable. Their pizza was also one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. Definitely looking forward to going here again
This was my first time going to Cidercade. I had the best time!! All of the games I played brought back memories of my childhood and teen years. The pizza and drinks were good and I loved the variety of sodas. I played games for hours and hours and hours. This will be a regular spot for me now.
Lots of fun! We paid $12/person. We ordered pizza, pretzel, and hummus. They have all you can drink soda for $4. All video games were in working condition.
This place was AWESOME! Took my girls over Spring Break 2025 and they enjoyed themselves and so did I. They had arcade games I had forgotten about and were able to relive some childhood memories. Really affordable and family friendly. They had a bar and served food but you also get a wrist band in the case you want to leave and come back for whatever reason. Highly recommend, me and my gang will be going back soon.
Great place at an amazing price. Could have spent the entire day here. So many games to choose from. Staff kept the machines clean and operational. They give you a wrist band such that you can leave and return during the day/evening. Played for a few hours, left and had dinner and returned to play a few more hours. Highly recommended for a fun day without spending too much.
Fun place, had a great time. The inside looks unfinished in a lot of areas and all the games blast intro music at full volume, which can be overwhelming at times
Fun, clean area to come and play. You pay $12 admission when you enter and then get to enjoy the games. There are no game cards needed. Games are set and ready. Personally, my crew likes Main Event better, but this was a nice place to enjoy for an hour or so.
OMG... I had so much fun at this place. It was a wonderful first experience for me and my date. Loved the fact that due to the wide variety of games you didn't have to wait long to play. Hold on I take that back. The connect 4 basketball game. We did have to wait a while but it was very understandable that game is so much fun. As we were leaving we noticed they had ping-pong outside. The next time we visit we will try ping-pong. 10 out of 10 will do it again ??
Cidercade Ft. Worth is amazing! They have all of the arcade games and pinball machines I grew up playing! They also have great pizza and pizza wraps made fresh, along with an amazing selection of unique craft drinks. The entire experience is both family and budget friendly!
$12 is an amazing deal relax and game for the afternoon/evening. The machines were vintage and in excellent working condition. Other classic arcades have poor buttons or joysticks but not here. The entire family had a great time. The pizza is excellent and so are the drink choices. $4 sodas with free refills and a huge cider selection. Worth every penny!
Had a great time with my family! I've never had cider before but I really liked theirs. They have an option to get 5drinks of your choice for 18 which is hell of a deal imo. Unlimited games with the 12 dollar entry except for the claw machine room in the back which my kids wanted to do the entire time (figures) but overall had a great time and we will be coming back.
Eh, games are great lots to play but the bar is the most trash drinks I ever tasted. And the food could be better but it's alright. But for god sakes get better drinks at the bar. Like yk normal beer
This location is my favorite cider cade, and my favorite retro arcade in the area, comparable only to Electric Starship and Time Rift. They recently added ticketed machines & claw machines as well. Banger spot 10/10 gotta come and have fun
Loved it! My husband and I tried it for the first time and stayed 4hrs having a great time! Planning on being back soon and bringing friends!
This place was AMAZING. Very clean. A big variety of games. Games for all ages. The pizza was so yummy. A great value for the size. A neat soda machine of different flavors.
Lots of fun. I feel like it's a great price for unlimited game play. They get you with the food though. It costs us $50 for 3 personal pizzas and 3 drinks. The pizza was good though.
The pizza here is second to none. Both times, I ordered their pizza, and it has been the best pizza I have had in all of dfw. The dough they use to make the pizza is on another level. It has the perfect flavor combined with a crunch not found in other pizzas. The games are fun, but I come for the pizza and the soda they have that is made with real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I will continue coming to cidercade for the pizza if nothing else.
I'm back in the 80?s! Loved this place. Being able to relive my childhood is phenomenal. Cidercade literally has every video game you can think of from the 80?s and 90?s! Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Dig Dug? and the list goes on and on. Fantastic times at a fantastic price. I didn't have the pizza but it sure looked good. This is one place I'm glad I tried and will definitely be coming back.
What's not to love? All you can play games, decent pizza (needs a Portnoy review!), and real cane sugar sodas. I don't drink, but there's a wide array of alcohol choices. On the plus side, I've never seen drunk people acting rowdy during the day?very family friendly.
Cool place for kids of all ages. I'm 42 and I felt like I stepped back in time for arcade games. Found my favorite game there and enjoyed a few others I never would have been able to play prior to coming here.
You pay 12 dollars and can play any number of video games and pinball machines for free. The pinball machines are clean, very clean and in great working order. The cider was ok, not really my type of drink though. The staff was friendly. This place seems like it would be great for a date.
Awesome place to play an amazing array of old school arcade games and pinball machines. Well worth the entry fee ($12)! Daughter and I came back two days in a row and had a blast. She is now a Galaga and pinball addict. ??
First time visit tonight. Big warehouse with several rooms of arcade games. Pay $12 for unlimited games, from the older Centipede to the newest Star Wars, hoops and air hockey to pinball. Quite a popular place on a Saturday night! Has pizza and Cider- we tried a flight of five. Lots of families here; after 9 the kiddos are gone. Recommend for an evening of fun!
This is a great place to go for fun. One price gets you in and all games are FREE to Play. They have lots of games to choose from . Centipede, Astroids,Dig Dug, and much more. They have newer games also. After 9 pm it's 21 and up only. They Sale Cider beers, and other drinks. The have $4 soda all you can drink. The pizza is a 10 in flat or thin crust pizza. 6 slices. The pizza is really good. But if you are hungry get your own , don't share. The pizza starts at $8 and per topping added cost $ more. Also
We had so much fun at this place. I would have given it five stars, if it were a little darker inside and if they served more than Bishops but it is called Cidercade lol.
We would definitely go again! Lots of different game options. Parking lot is really small so I definitely recommend going early. You can come and go but just remember the parking is not great.
This is a great place for families. Tons of great video games, pool, food & drinks (adult and kid friendly). All the drinks are in house, no "brand name" and they are all really good. My kids and I will return every time we are in Ft.Worth!!
Biggest selection of games and peace between Cidercade Houston, Cidercade Dallas, and Cidercade Fort Worth. They also have a very reasonably priced kitchen. The pizza rolls are excellent and large for the price. Can get crowded on weekends, but will clear some after 9pm when it's 18+.
Wonderful place to bring your family. Kids will have a blast, and so will you. $10 for all the games you can play, $4 for all the soda you can drink, but don't forget to eat and drink other beverages. That is what keeps this place alive and kicking. Just remember to get rid of the kids at 8 pm. At that time, it is adult 21+ only. I spent 4 hours in here with my grandson, and it still was not enough. Great place!
Great place!!! If you're an adult I recommend going after 8pm when it's 21+ as it's less load and chaotic. This place is huge, the outside makes it look deceptively average. The price is incredible for what you got, and we ended up getting a monthly pass after only one visit because we loved it so much.
Cidercade has a great selection of older and newer arcade games, it was well laid out and never felt too dark or cramped. The drink and food choices are good, but make sure to come when there are not as many kids. Kids are welcome to run around and if it is too crowded can cause some traffic jams. Overall 4.5/5 will definitely be going back.
The pizza was pretty good. The cider is excellent. However, $10 all you can play pinball and video games (see website for full list) was completely awesome dude. Brought the family during the day on Sunday and there were lots of other families here. At night this is a bar and they kick the kiddies out for adult only drinking and games. Awesome
Had a good experience and surprisingly good pizza. Ordered 2 Margerhita personal pizzas, 1 cider, and 1 all you can drink soda. About $35. Ample types of retro games and a few more current ones. Might be fun to hold a group event at. ??
This was a fun and economical place to hang out. Great games from my childhood. The pizza rolls were absolutely amazing, and my husband loved the cider. We will definitely be going back.
So glad they added this location to Forth Worth its huge! They have so many games for all ages. They have pizzas and a soda machine and even a bar! They have private areas you can reserve if you want to have a party there. They also have indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Very fun place!
This has to be one of the coolest places to bring the family! We had 9 kids and 4 adults total and at $12 for unlimited play, was completely worth it for the price!! Children under 5 are free, so it made it even more budget friendly for our group. The kids would not stop talking about how much fun they had and even after close to 7 hours there, didn't want to leave. Would definitely be a great place for dates since it is 18+ only after 9pm. However, there were people of all ages there and everyone was respe
1st visit was good. Spent 2 hours playing video games. Pizza not all that great. Kids could spend all day here. A bit pricey in my opinion.
The place looks neat upon entry and would be great for a date night or with friends. However, if you are someone that doesn't want your kids around alcohol/heavily drinking adults this is not the place for you. The place is so big and crowded that it is hard to go with a large family and keep up with your kids. You mix that with lots of alcohol and it is a recipe for disaster. We assumed the alcohol would only come out at 9pm when the place turns into a bar but that was not the case. It was available the
Fun games. All you can play for just $12 fee you pay at the entrance. The pizzas are also very tasty, and the ciders have a kick to them.
Came here for a birthday. We had 4 adults 2 under 21. We had a blast and spent 3.5 hours without realizing it. Pizza was great, soda bar and ciders were great. They did a decent job of keeping it clean and there was hand sanitizer to keep germs away.
My son said give it 5 stars but I'm knocking off a star because it's 18+ after 9 pm. The food was really good and some of the drinks were as well. I do wish that they had a ?normal? salad option, but all they had was a Greek or Mediterranean salad (can't remember what it was). I had one full size drink then decided to do the 5 for like $28. I didn't realize that they were going to be super small cups lol. $12 for entry is great, but would be even better if the kids could play as long as they wanted without
The kids and I had a great time playing the arcade game, some were retro to my childhood so that was fun being able to re-enjoy some of those game. The pizza was good but the soda choices were a little different. Overall a really good experience.
This was our first trip to Cidercade and we loved it! You pay one price to enter, get a wristband, all the games are set to free play. Love the variety of games, not just older classics but also racing, FPS, skee ball, pinball, basketball, plus air hockey, pool, and shuffleboard. We had ciders and they were incredible! We enjoyed that after 8pm it was 21+. Even though it was busy, it was easy to get in to games. We didn't try the pizza but it looked amazing! Next time. It's so much bigger than it looks from
We had a blast for daughter?s 10th birthday. It's very clean and chill atmosphere. The food was great and so was the cider super yummy!! .
Awesome spot to waste a couple hours. Took the family here to play some video games and it did not disappoint. There are some video games that bring back those childhood memories. The cider was good as well, got the pog cider. It's $12 to get in. And parking is right across the street. They have food on sight. Wife got a salad and my kiddo got a pizza.
I didnt realize how many games this place has. They even have a section way in the back for games where winning receives prize vouchers. Employees were all great. Pizza wasnt that bad. All in all, will definitely be taking my son back there for more fun.
It was a lot of fun for my kids ages 4,8, and 10. I wish they would have more drink choices.
It's awesome I love it??????????? a must go place to play arcade games for all familys?????
This place was soo cool and super affordable. We will be back on our next trip to Ft Worth
I came to the cool arcade to play video games. But when I went to go buy drinks I was expecting to get what I paid for. They have these beat boxes posted as a 16 oz drink and so I happily paid for one and paid $10 for it and they only gave a little bit less than 3/4.. so when I asked for the rest of my drink was they said they only poured 12 oz. None of it was posted anywhere. I don't mind paying $10 for my drink but at least give me the whole thing.
This place was amazing and brought back a lot of old memories. The prices are reasonable and the games are well maintained. I didn't try the food but had more games than I thought it did.
I took my young teenagers here and we had a good time. It is as advertised on their website. You may end up waiting for some of the more popular games. Pizza and (craft fountain) drinks were great, and overall Cidercade is a good value if you plan to stay for a couple of hours or more.
Great pinball spot with a large mix of pro and premium machines. Everything is well maintained too.
What an amazing find in Fort Worth! If you love hard cider and love playing games while eating some pizza than have I got the place for YOU! The hard cider is awesome, staff is super friendly and the games are all FREE after you pay to enter. Can not say enough good things about Cidercade!!
I can't wait to go back (both with and without my son). I couldn't fully enjoy myself because I was chasing around my son and his friend, but it's definitely worth the $10. Next time I'll try their pizza. We left to go eat then came back. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
Oh man. We LOVE Cidercade Fort Worth! We go as often as possible and it is fun for everyone! All their pizzas are SO good, especially the pickle pizza!
Good value for your money. Food and drinks available for purchase. Plenty of game machines to play on. Lots of old games. Draw backs. Parking can be a challenge. It was hot inside and out. It's hard to cool down when it's so hot and humid. Another draw back. It is such a cool place, every one wants to attend. So very crowded. You just have to be patient and wait.
Great atmosphere! Staff is friendly and it is easy to get drinks and food. Hawaiian pizza is amazing. Everyone needs to try the Butter Beer!!!
I love this place! I definitely take advantage of the no kids after 8pm so I can enjoy with my friends without worrying about the littles running around. Don't get me wrong I've been there during the day and still had a great time!!! Their drinks and pizza are on point and my favorite right now is the Beatbox!!!
Great game options from classics like pinball machines and Pac-Man to more modern games like Jurassic Park. The food was ok, beer selection is all house brands that are a little pricey but were great!
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.”
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.
Yes, rhythm games in arcades are a vibrant hit in 2025! Titles like Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania deliver high-energy fun, blending music, movement, and precision. Modern machines boast vivid displays, booming sound systems, and diverse song libraries, from J-pop to EDM. They challenge reflexes and rhythm, with competitive leaderboards and tournaments fostering a lively community. Arcade dance floors are regularly packed, proving rhythm games’ immersive, physical thrill keeps them a standout in today’s gaming scene.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
