First, the women who greeted us at the door were exceptionally welcoming! Then we enjoyed lunch at this location and Brandon provided top-tier service. He was attentive, caring, kind and patient. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. The music played provided great memories. I also enjoyed seeing the new remodel of the facility. The full wall television was very spectacular.
Came here after the remodel. Not much has changed besides the tv?s. Food was decent. Arcade floor could be bigger with more games.
Came to this location around 2 pm on Wednesday, June 11. I understand there were some parties or something going on, but it felt like the restaurant severely underestimated the demand for a day like this, and the service (or lack thereof) clearly indicated this. Our server was worn out with ZERO energy or enthusiasm and, the service in general was slow. This takes me to the food. It took about 30 minutes to receive the steak bowl, which was a little confusing until I cut into the steak and realized that th
We were really looking forward to a fun night out at this Dave & Buster?s, especially since it's in such a nice neighborhood. We usually go to the one in Addison and have great experiences there, so we had high hopes. After a long day, my husband and I made a reservation to ensure we'd have a table, even though the place was practically empty when we arrived. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly disappointing from the start. It took 20 minutes just to get a server, another 30 minutes to receive our dr
Came here Saturday night to dine and watch the Ufc fight. I was seated rather quickly since there was a low volume of people. Rather surprising for a Saturday night. Anyways after I was seated it took 30minutes for a waiter to finally come to our table and take our order. I believe they forgot about us and their face said it all when they finally came to our table. After we ate and closed our tab of $120 we went to play some games. At close to midnight as we're about to head out we get stopped by our previo
Updated from below: store has been renovated with new attractions. New seating areas and spaces allow for some great group times. Altogether huge updates! Cost is a bit high for a larger family- but perfect for a date night or time out with one of your older kids. ??Old review below ?? This location Needs attention - too many broken machines. Sadly, after already paying for my token cards, I discovered over 1/3 of the machines out of order. This is the second time in recent visits that this was the case
If this review is helpful, please make sure you leave it a like ???????????? We celebrated my young cousin's fourteenth birthday ?? ?? ??. Here at David and Busters. All of the young people seem to have an incredibly good time enjoying the games and food. Our server was a very nice and polite young lady. The staff was friendly and helpful in making my little cousin's birthday a very joyous occasion.
This is for the food, me and my sisters went we sat at the bar the drinks where good but the food was disgusting i got guac with with chips they stick the chips in the guac didnt put it on the side my sister got hot wings they came out cold and barely gave her any fries we sent it back only for it to still be cold and less fries the server barley came to check on us had to keep asking another server to help us because our server was no where to be found. Guac looked old
Came for a birthday party. Food was good not the best lacking of flavor but the drinks were really good specially the Henny Strawberry definitely recommend. Afterwards we went to the gaming area and spent a few there it does get overcrowded need more machines like Round 1.
This review is strictly for the restaurant part of it. The food was good but it took a while. The waitress was horrible. It took a long time to just be seated. Then she wasn't really attentive. They never bought the fork for the pasta. I ended up walking up to the bar they had to go to kitchen and get me a plastic fork. I will probably just come for the arcade. I miss how game works used to operate in Schaumburg.
THIS PLACE HAS BEEN REMODELED. I WALKED IN AND GOT CONFUSED AND SPINNED AROUND LOL. NOT SURE IF THE LADY WAS A MANAGER/SUPERVISOR OR WORKER BUT SHE WAS EXTREMELY DETAILED AND EAGER TO HELP. SHE WALKED ME THROUGH PRICING & THE MACHINES. EVEN MADE MY SON (BIRTHDAY BOY) FEEL EXTRA SPECIAL. I LOOOVE WHEN MY KIDS ARE TREATED AS THOUGH THEY MATTER. WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING.
This was my first trip to this location in years. Loved the setup. The darts setup was very cool and fun. I plan to bring more friends the next time out. The service and staff hit it out of the park!
I had so much fun with my nieces. Lots of arcades and games. Great food. A bar for adults.
Games and atmosphere weren't bad in the slightest. Me and my plus 1 had our fun. But when it came to food we had a nightmare. We sat at the bar, nothing strange until we went to order the main course after our appetizer. We had to practically flag someone down to put our order in. Once we got the food, our boneless wings were dry as if they had been sitting. The ribs were just mid tier at best. After that, I tried to close our tab. Told one worker. They said they needed to grab the original guy who opened i
Very fun place to go, can cost a bit but they do offer specials on certain days of the week. Wednesday is half price day! Much more worth the money spent.
I went in for my sons 16th birthday. Spent $300 on food that tasted horrid. The meal do not come with drinks. So on top of paying a min of $20 a meal you pay $5 more for a drink. They took all my kids cups before they were even done with them and didn't even bother asking if we were finished with it. If I come to a business and spend over $700 I expect it to be worth it. It definitely was not! Not one bit. Especially considering we had to drive 4 hours total for this disappointing trip. D&B NOT WORTH THE MO
We didnt eat any food here. Just went to play games. Hardly any games to play. We managed to play all of them in about an hour and left. Not worth it at all. Half the games were down and being serviced. Some didnt work at all when you swiped the card. Do not recommend at all.
We went on a Thursday night for a birthday dinner. Immediately upon entering we were told that it was cash only. No signs were posted about this. Since we did have cash, we went to the table. We were the only ones at the dining room and the music is extremely loud. Service was good and the food came fast. The pretzel is huge, as is the portion of appetizer fries. Both tasted good. We ordered salads, which came so swimming in dressing as to be inedible after just a few minutes. Gluten free bun and b
We visited this location to redeem the Thursday night date night promotion. Upon arrival, we went to the host stand to ask how it worked. He said he hadn't been told about it and directed us to the bar/bartender. We sat down and the bartender ignored us for 20 minutes. When he acknowledged us, we showed him the email with the promotion and he gave us menu. After taking our order, it took us 15 minutes to bring our sodas. 30 minutes later the food finally arrives (customers across from us had gotten 2 separa
Great time for the boys. Food was excellent. Service very good.
Was there for a Birthday celebration. The appetizers took a long time to be served. Served was very friendly but overwhelmed. Too many tables to handle. They ADDED 20% tip to every bill, allegedly, because it was a big party, even thou everyone paid separately. The tip is included but it's in small print, so naturally, you add more. My bill end up with a 35% tip. My credit card reimbursed me the over charge. DEFINITELY not worth it.
Happy Hour is a great deal on drinks. Chicken sandwich was not a breast it was the size of a tender and too much buffalo sauce.
My fianc? and I had a great time in the arcade! after about an hour or so of fun we decided to go to the dining area for a bite to eat. We were seated. And there we sat. For 25 minutes not one server came to our table. Multiple servers walked past our table without even a glance. it seems as though the host didn't inform the servers we were paying costumers. If this happens to you I recommend the raising canes which is a quick walk from D&B.
The wait time was extremely long. For Dave and Buster's the food was good. The cocktails were amazing!! Presentation of the food was great and the servers were wonderful. Work on those wait times. If customers are not reserving a party, time limits for tables should be considered:)
I visited the location on 6-14-25. I have been going to this location well over 10 years. One of the waitress was so rude and nasty last night, I was irritated the rest of the night. While my kids were playing games I decided to have a drink and appetizer at the bar. My 15 year old son found me at the bar sat next to me and asked if he could have some of my appetizer. I explained you can't sit at the bar so I said we need to move to one of the EMPTY tables and we can share the appetizer. A waitress comes r
Wazzam Mappies ??? So, a friend and I went to this place for the food, drinks, and games. The line was super long but was going fast. We had the $62 tokens plus $7 charge. It was a 45 min wait to be seated at a table. So we sat at the bar. Our bartender name is Stephen Puppies??. He was super cool, great convo, and funny. He made our drinks. I had the Berry Bull, and my friend had the Blueberry drink. The drinks were WEEAAAKKK SAUCE VERY WEAK. He was telling me about $5 shots. I had ordered a shot of patron
Looks very nice inside with the recent remodel. Food was really good, happy hour drinks were awesome, but what made our experience was the manager Roberto. He went above and beyond to make sure our family had a great time.
I am incredibly thankful for the employees and officer on duty tonight. Unfortunately I didn't get any names, but I had lost my iPhone 16 in the women?s bathroom, and I talked to a girl employee in the bathroom. She said she didn't see it. We contacted other employees and the officer in the restaurant, while also trying to call, ping, and track the device. The employees and officers were quick to get a phone description from me. I'm unsure if an employee found it or someone turned in my phone, but they matc
Probably closer to 3.5, but bumped them up because my staff interactions were pleasant. The quantity of arcade games was less than I was expecting (and that is based on other locations I've seen; just felt small.) The food and drinks at the bar weren't bad in terms of quality. I snagged the pot stickers, brussel sprouts and 4 drinks all for just under $100. I liked that the facility was very clean and the employees were helpful.
I brought my son here to celebrate his graduation and the service was terrible. We were seating and after 30 mins only received drinks. 15 more minutes passed and 2 servers walked past to ask us if we have been helped only to walk away again. After asking for a manager for another 30 mins Victoria comes out unapologetic and didn't even apologize. She only comped us for the drinks we received and barely drunk from the bartender Nick who was apparently supposed to be our server as well
Great place to go to! Any time of the week! Especially on Wednesdays since it's half price games, once you get the hang of the games it's easy to win a lot of tickets. With the tickets you can redeem them for food! All this food was ?free? since I got enough tickets for it just had to pay for our drinks. A great place to go to have fun and have a yummy dinner.
Overall, it was a decent dining and gaming experience. However, the food simply is not worth the price. I have had better steaks at a breakfast establishment. Again, the pricing for food and menu selections needs an overhaul.
This place is really fun. I went as an adult and it was still fun to play all of the games. I will say that it is really expensive to play a lot of games. 4 people playing for under an hour and a half was just under $100 which I thought was pretty taxing. I guess the machines might break and have repair costs and the electricity costs are high as well. Overall, a pretty cool place for kids and adults alike.
First time ever walking into a Dave and busters and was unsure how to work anything. Stood around waiting but nobody came. I asked a customer and they came to help and showed me how to get a card and load it and then it was a free for all. Lots of staff but not one person actually wants to work. After playing for an hour I wanted to check out the food. Again lots of staff behind the bar area but nobody came to assist us. So we sat ourselves. And after 15 mins of being ignored I went to the bartender and she
We got three waters for a table of six. Diet Coke never came to the table. Kids cheese pizza came out black. We ordered cheese flatbread that came out with pepperoni on it. Way overpriced for the quality of the food. Salmon bowl was drowning in oil. Kids? meals do not come with a side or drink. The food is WAY OVERPRICED! The arcade is under construction, but there are still many games and lots of fun to be had. There is NO WHERE to sit in the arcade if you are disabled. It is VERY LOUD. Children with sens
The service was very poor and our server was very inattentive. She failed to bring my water before I received my appetizer as requested. Food took a while but my smash burger was good. My party had to wait over twenty minutes for her to return with our bills. Her poor service reflected that parties with over seven individuals are automatically charged a 20% gratuity. I would have rather paid for parking downtown in the City than experience such a poor outing to celebrate a friend's birthday. I will not ret
Food was terrible, pretty much inedible! No where near the old dave n busters downtown. They come and hassle you to take a picture and beg you to pay $20 for it, on top of the nasty food and game play. Games are ok. Game Eat & Play not available Fri-Sun anymore
The food and drinks were fine, the service was a bit slow, we attended a birthday party and it was very full. Would like to see more staff to attend to patrons. Games were great,atmosphere was fantastic! Grill cheese was served toasty and fresh. Nachos were plentiful with the right amount of seasoning. 3 solid stars.
Horrible experience! A man who was working there today was very rude! He called my son (1 year old) disgusting because he touched the toy. He said I need to buy it now and I have no common sense?! This is not how you talk to customers. Good advice, if you hate people especially kids don't work in Arcade. This could be resolved in a friendly manner and I would pay for the toy but unfortunately his attitude scared the kids and made us leave.
Huge tv screens, perfect for game day. You can use your tickets/points from games towards food purchase.
Made reservations for 10 to get a table at 3:45. Got there seated with menus, no body came to take our orders for an hour. We didn't even order food we got up to let the kids play games. Went to the bar, the girl behind the bar with green hair asked for IDs for me and my wife which is no problem. This is March she made a slick comment about my ID expiring in December, I said politely well it's not expired yet so it's not bad news, she said the bad news is your license is expiring. Which is really a smart as
Its a great "for the kid in you" place.. like that specific chain if pizza places most of had a party at. Without the creepy animatronics.. We had good appetizers at the bar.. then with the addition of a couple more friends we moved to a table..I had a great meal. My burger was awesomeness.. Then after watching the basketball game to try my own hand a shooting (I wasn't good) and even skee-ball.. a goof time was had by all.
We were so excited for some family fun and lunch. Sadly the service was TERRIBLE!!!! EVERYONE moved sooo slow, it was really loud. It was lots of open seats however it took a while for us to get a table and honestly I think had we not checked in a second time we would have never been seated. We will NOT be back!
Bathrooms could be cleaner but over all it was nice
Mind the 1 star. Horrible and so unorganized to dine in. Over 25 minutes waiting for a waitress while they had 5 dirty tables and 3 unattended. Supervisor nor waitress take it serious. All in one corner laughing and playing while everyone waits over 20 mins to even get a drink offer.
Good food, drinks were ok and service varied. The first waitress who helped us was very melancholy and had the demeanor that she hated her job. The second waitress waitress was cheerful upbeat and friendly. Overall there was a good selection of games and the prices were not too expensive ?
The food is great, great service at the bar. We had the anchors and pretzel dogs.. both very tasty and fast service . Pretzel is huge, thick, needs better sauces but overall very good!
Dave & Buster's is always fun. They did change some things inside like took out some of the games I enjoyed playing (adult friendly) but it's still cool
Took our 10 and 8 year old grandkids. They went through 500 credits in 20 minutes. They then spent 30 minutes picking out garbage. This was a terrible waste of money. Should have taken them shopping at Target instead.
DB made me feel like a kid again. Games and food has changed over the years tho. Everything is going virtual and I don't like the helmets and full video googles. I miss the Philly cheese steak sandwichs they had years ago. The food was hot drinks were good too.
Kids had a lot of fun tickets are fairly easy to win if you play the right games. Food was really good and service was great! 60 bucks got us food and fun for 2 hours.
First time at Dave and buster and will most likely be my last. Dave and buster advertises highly as an adult gaming place but mostly all the games are for young children with not a large selection of them to begin with. I went at 10pm which the time is advertised as only allowing 21+ and the place was 80% filled with only children from ages 5-13 years old. By the time we left around 11:15pm it was still packed with young children. Truly just seems like it's more of a chucky cheese, parents catching a drin
Took my grandson and my great nephew here for getting excellent grades, they're in the third grade. They had a ball. They played the games, the food was great, the customer service was top notch, the bar was excellent it was awesome. A great place to come for adults as well as kids.
This family friendly has really lacked all of its luster! Dave is not busting no more! Chuckee Cheese & McDonald?s play land has better customer service then them! We waiting to long to get served , then the waiter must?ve thought we were savages from the Slavic mountains or something because they just left the food on the serving tray and didn't even put it next to the table! Fries were cold and dry! Chicken was small , dry , and just poorly cooked. Long Island was more like a long desert. The best part wa
Don't waste your time at the kiosk at the entrance. Walk into the arcade and find more so you don't wait in a line. (The employees watching out could have told us so) Insanely crowded. Peak times MEAN peak times. We went for Skeeball and we're severely disappointed to find no machines. A lot of space is decided to 'video game like" type things rather than arcade. It also seems like there's less decent games. Half of them run worse than Doom on an TI-84 The general age range for the games is adolescence. Th
Food was good. Had wings, pretty typical. The game area is definitely geared towards kids. Extremely loud and bright flashing lights everywhere. Gives me pause though when I constantly see signs warning about seizure risk??? They add a mandatory gratuity to your food when you are part of a birthday group.
The manager was very nice when my 6 year old son was having sensory overload. She brought us a new pair of noise canceling headphones... It turned our whole visit around.
Very accommodating for a last-minute birthday party. We were able to secure a private room the day of for 20 ppl.
They have a ton of games. Most are meant for teens and adults, but there are some for younger kids around 6 and up. They have a decent dining area just off to the right when you walk in. You are best off getting a card with over 150 points for $25.
Had fun and the family enjoyed coming again It was great for kids and adults the food was a little unseasoned it was our first time the waiter was pushing us a little for unlimited games but overall it was great it is a great place for families
Had to track down our server to have our order taken. Food was alright overall. Eat and play combos seem to be the best bet
This place was absolutely amazing loved every minute of it and the food was absolutely amazing nothing to complain about 10out of 10
Absolutely horrible. Brought my nephew here for his first birthday. And let's just say the food was not good at all. Literally, everything was hard and dry... And the drinks had floaties in it . And to top it all off, the service was even worse.Do not recommend.
Kids had a good time and the food was excellent. It's an arcade so be prepared to spend some money. Take advantage of the app, happy hour and half price games on Wednesdays. Veterans, first responders, and other community members get a 15% discount on food when you ask your server about it.
Food was fine, not many dietary restriction friendly options. Many of the card machines were not working and there were hardly any employees optically present in the welcome and machine areas; they mostly hung out in the back of the bar area, though which a single-parent with kids-in-tow couldn't get to. I was glad the games worked once we finally got the card loaded, because finding Help was exasperating.
Very loud! Have to speak very load to one another. Handsanitizers were empty. Food: I had the BBQ tips and were ok. But the fries were super salty horrible. Never again eating there. Archade was fun, but it gets crowded after 3 p.m.
First of all I had cards from previous times with a lot of points and credits and they didn't work. Secondly we spent$70 for 2 people for less than 20 minutes of games. For a place that's supposed to be geared more to adults it's nothing but a ghetto chuckie cheese filled with screaming children. If your trying to go have a fun adult night out, this is not the place. We ate food here once and it was absolutely awful. I'm not a karen just not a fan of orland Dave and Busters. I've been to other locations
Food was good and service was great. Played games after dinner, was a little crowded however we still played all the games we want. Restroom was a bit dirty. Otherwise a good time.
Everyone was nice and did a great job with my party. The party room did not run out of drinks and the environment was good
Went for a birthday celebration, which turned out to be folly during Spring Break. Not a good week for their card replenishing machines to all be inoperative. Staff was friendly but overwhelmed. Facility and games are fun and bright. Put our name on a list for a table...they never texted. Maybe give them a try during a non vacation week.
I'm sorry. But I hated my experience here. 1st of all, the token packages are ridiculously overpriced. $22 for 100 tokens(the lowest) and then $33 for 165??? What kind of math is that?!? Then you charge ppl these obscene amounts for the tokens on the games. This place is a full blown scam! So many of the games last no more than a freaking minute! Next! The food was absolutely trash. Everything was cold and was clearly sitting out. I ordered buffalo wings and fries. The breading on the wings were soggy. And
I gave a low rating because 1. Not a lot option on menu for people who don't eat meat 2. The drinks water down with ice 3. The games where not adult focus like they use to be 4. Several games took points off card that were not working 5. Games were base on time but the belt moving the game move very slow which was not fair to b time
The games is fun. But they need to make the game time for 2 to 3 minutes to make it enjoyable. It finishes in less than 30 seconds and that's doesn't make me want to take the kids back while I should pay a lot of money to enjoy the place.
The guy and woman made sure we were good. I don't remember their names. They were friendly and professional.
This was our first time at D&B and I was not satisfied. We did the eat and play. We waited about 45 minutes for our food and did not get our drinks until after we were done eating. We waited 40 minutes for our glasses of water. I'm not sure if the service was just terrible or if they were understaffed. I got a cheeseburger which was burnt. The fries were really good. By the time the manager came and talked to us we had finished our meals and still didn't have our drinks. The manager did comp our drinks but
it's alot better than before. lots of workers on the same team. really cool new games. same great food!
I understand that people mostly go here to have fun but this was one of the worst pastas I have ever tasted. It genuinely looks good but the sauce tastes old and flavorless, same goes for the chicken. Appetizers were okay.
We went on a Monday night and had a great time. We ate and played games. The food was delicious. I had the tenders with a sweet heat dry rub. He had wings with bbq sauce. The fries was good as well. Added a cup of cheese to dip them in. And then we have the cake and ice cream. It was really good. Our waiter and the lady who was with him were so nice. Monday night football was on and it wasn't on the big screen. We asked if they could change it and they did. They were incredible. It wasn't too crowded and
My husband and I went last week for date night! And my family and I went again yesterday for family night! We had such a blast!!! The salmon is DELICIOUS!!!
I came here for my birthday. I enjoyed the game area. But once I got to the bar, I told the short red-haired bartender my order; she said ok and sat me down on the other side. Order a drink and requested water because I got the mildly hot voodoo pasta. She said okay and got my drink but never returned with the water. Then I asked the male bartender for water; he said one moment he never returned even though I was sitting in front of him. WATER !!! He could have left a pitcher/jug nearby if they thought my a
Was an amazing time playing games n having lunch. Food and drinks were great and the people are wonderful and friendly. Loved the experience
They were cool but also very polite and made sure to check on us.
Both the bartender and ?manager? were rude and seemed to have been playing the racist card. My husband presented a US Consular ID (as legal as it could get) and he was denied a drink from the bartender because, in her words, ?it was a Mexican ID?. They're either stupid, racist or stupid racists. There's no way he could get in a bar, casino, etc but can't get a drink from Dave & Buster?s? Get y'all bartenders and ?managers? together. We still had 100+ credits in our card but our night was ruined by your raci
Took my almost 4 year old for the first time and although we went on a Saturday around later afternoon early evening it was busy but we still were able to play the games we wanted without having to wait a long time.
My kids this place. It gets pricy once you get hooked to playing specific video games. My kids love the DDR. Foodwise I ordered grilled steak salad. The steak was cooked medium rare as I specified. I loved it. Salad was not bad either although I'm not into salads.
Orland Park police ALONE will be the reason why I'll NEVER come back to this establishment. They circle the parking lot and prey on people of color. They wait until you get out of your car, check vin numbers to see your car is ?stolen? and wait for you to come out and find ANY reason to arrest you. They are RACIST and if you are a person of color, PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS!!!!!! I am NOT the first person they did this to and I will not be the last. The atmosphere of Dave and Busters was okay. The hostess wasn
Dinner on a Monday night. Terrible. Had to ask three separate times for CLEAN plates; they kept bringing me plates that were DIRTY! Waited 25 minutes for a WATER! Ordered a lemonade twice and never received it. Ordered a BBQ Chicken Flatbread with jalape?os on the SIDE, since my friend is breastfeeding, and they still included them in the flatbread. And to top that off, the bbq flatbread was missing the bbq sauce. The Elotes Cauliflower is pathetic. Somehow it is spicy, which I don't believe it should be. A
Only had two kiosks for play card and only one took cash. Unfortunately I arrived right after 3 bus loads of students, so had to wait about 20 minutes to get a card.
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, 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.
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025!

Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun.
