Decades

Fun family establishment. Food was good. The mozzarella appetizer was Amazing! The basket with pretzels, onion rings and curly fries was huge. Pretzels were more like toasted bread texture. Not bad-but definitely not a true pretzel. Great fun for all ages. Bowling was great. The retro video games were super fun. $5/20coins you typically only need 1-2 coins per game/machine. The bar had great cocktails. Service was slow-given we visited mid week and the place wasn't not busy. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms we

A great place for foodies and families to hang out! I love scratching my nostalgia itch at this retro arcade, plus I get to enjoy a surprisingly modern menu. The food here is very accessible for everyone ? you can get a solid burger and fries or mac & cheese if that's what you and the kids want. If you're a little more adventurous, they have some beautiful salads, awesome, mixed drinks, and mock tails, and delicious vegan options. The service is always fast and very friendly. Obviously, a big draw is the e

Decades provided a welcoming, retro experience that had me enraptured the moment I walked in. I felt like I was a child again playing the games I grew up with while spending quality time with friends. The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was immaculate! Definitely a place I will come back to.

This place was an absolute blast! It is perfect to take the family, or just as a fun date night. We took the kids and it was so much fun playing games while waiting for our table and food. It is important to note that kids are not allowed after 8:30; it is 21 and over only. Game tokens are the value of a quarter and the most expensive game is two tokens. We started playing games while waiting for our table. It was an 80s kid?s paradise! The drinks were phenomenal. I got the smoked pecan old fashioned an

Loved everything about this place. It's been on my list to visit since I moved here and it did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and the food was great. The games weren't too expensive and they had a nice variety. I highly recommend checking them out if you are in town. ????

My family and I had so much fun on our last visit that when recently visiting Lancaster we returned to Decades. From a food standpoint Decades offers many decent options to satisfy every picky eater in your family. From an adult beverage standpoint the bar offers every libation you can think of and then some. There are ample tables and high-tops to enjoy your food and beverages, but it also boasts one of the largest bars in the area. From a gaming standpoint, Decades has a variety of games for young and o

Fun place! We got some food and played some arcade games. The food is very good, drinks were delicious and unique, service was pleasant, and the prices were reasonable. There's a lot to do here - bowling, retro arcade games, a bar, food and drinks, etc. Overall, fun place to visit in Lancaster!

Went to Decades for a casual birthday night out and had a great time. Bowling lanes are full service so we were able to eat while we played. The app sampler was enormous and delicious - especially the pretzel bites. Arcade tokens were cheap and they had a nice variety of both single and multiplayer games. Staff was friendly and attentive and overall atmosphere was awesome. Parking garage next door is easy to get in and out of, too. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town.

Oh my God, the food was so bad!!! I feel bad for the server. She was so nice. But the food was so so so bad!! I guess they can't tweak their menu at all. My son wanted chicken instead of pork in his tacos. They couldn't do that. Since he's lactose intolerant, he asked for cheese in his pork tacos. They couldn't do that. I asked to add tomato to my burger. They couldn't do that. We ended up ordering food that we didn't want just to be able to eat. When we got it, the food was cold. We were out for a girls ni

The waiter was extremely busy, but did great for the amount of people he had to take care of. The nachos are delicious, the fries were hot and crispy. Games were fun, ski ball is always a favorite of mine. We did bowl 1 round also. It was a good experience. We will all go again ??

We visited Decades on a Wednesday evening (two adults and a 2.5-year-old). We waited about 20 minutes for a bowling lane and passed the time in the arcade. Bumpers and a ball ramp made bowling fun for our toddler. Service was friendly, bowling was a good time, and the beer list was excellent. The food, though, was underwhelming. Most of the menu is finger food, which is kind of gross for bowling... We went with a few non-finger options: boneless wings (Thai chili, flavorless), cheese tortellini with sausag

Awesome, unique place for all. The atmosphere is nostalgic, food is amazing, and drinks are cool. I recommend the pouch drinks and Uncrustaburger!

Bring your inner child and have some fun! We absolutely enjoyed our time here. Playing some of the games we grew up with was a good time, like Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers. They have convenient side tables everywhere, so you have a place for your drink or belongings while you play. You have to buy tokens for the games, and they go a long way since each game is only 1 to 2 tokens. The pretzel bites and chicken tenders were really good.

Decades was right around the corner from our Airbnb. We had so much fun we came back twice in one weekend! The bar food was great, lots of great vegetarian opens. The variety of beers available was appreciated. $5 in tokens will get you a long way! I was pumped to spend some time playing my old favorite, Pole Position. We had a lot of fun bowling, too!

Man has this place gone downhill. The drinks are still good but so much weaker. I used to love getting the pouches and getting a buzz off of just one. Now they barely have any alcohol. Additionally the serving portions are way smaller. The pretzel bite app used to be enough food for me and a friend to share, but now, all they give you is a small plate that's 1/3 of the size it used to be. Used to go here frequently, but I don't think I'll ever go back again?

June 2024 Food and service were decent and prices were very reasonable, including the cost to play a bunch of video games. Not the biggest collection of arcade games but we still had a good time. The building interior is really cool and preserves its old age charm, adding to allure of the experience of playing retro video games. Great place to spend a couple hours.

This place is a total blast! Went with some friends, and we had an amazing time. The food was solid, the drinks were great, and the vibe was just chef?s kiss?super fun and laid-back. One second, we were all laughing and having a good time, and the next, it was war at the arcade games! Friendships were tested. Trash talk was spoken. I may or may not have taken skee-ball way too seriously. No regrets. If you're looking for a place to eat, drink, and aggressively compete with your friends over arcade games,

Really cool place, like a Dave and Busters with a personal touch. Food was good, the staff was very nice, and the games are priced fair. They dont have the phone app games which is nice (who wants to play fruit ninja on 55"?) They have real arcade games from when they were still good. A lot of classics, they have an awesome big screen first person shooter version of invaders, 10/10 have to try.

I hosted a 30th birthday party here for my husband. They offer fantastic party packages that can include tokens for games, bowling, food, and different levels of drink packages. It was worth every penny to know that our guests were well taken care of and having a great time. Our party area had its own party coordinator and servers- all of whom were absolutely incredible. They were so on top of everything and no one had to wait long for drinks or more tokens. I was also impressed by the quality of the food.

Don't go for the food and the service, go for the drinks and the games. Food was average, service was very slow. Atmosphere was great, good energy. Games are a blast and the bar is popping?.id recommend for the bar scene and for the games, but if you're looking for great food and service, I'd probably eat somewhere else and come here to have drinks and play games.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. Bailey from Decades helped me set up a sensory friendly experience for my brother and everything was awesome!! We loved the burgers and the games kept us entertained!! The staff was super sweet and understanding too!! We can't wait to come back!!

This place was pretty awesome! The vibes are NYC mixed with?I don't really know. The service was great and fast for a Friday night and it was a bit crowded, but the place was large so it wasn't really a problem. The drinks were top notch and the food was?..interesting. It was good, but it had a ?flare? that made me question if my stomach was going to be happy later- luckily, it was! I would definitely come here again!

We really enjoyed this arcade, it was a lot of fun. Their food is also decent for a very reasonable price.

Amazing atmosphere and great vegetarian options service was amazing too! They had lots of different drinks to try as well and the fried uncrustables were delish. The only thing I would say that was a negative is we sat by the bowling alley and it was very loud.

They rotate their menu so it's always changing. Sometimes I like what's on the menu & other times I don't. It's an arcade/bowling alley so there's a lot of kids until the cut off time. Generally have had positive experiences with their servers & bartenders.

Decades is so fun! If you are ever looking for a fun night out, you need to check out Decades. They have a bunch of arcade games, and the price isn't bad. There's a bar as well as a bowling alley. We are never disappointed when we come here. The staff is friendly and seems to enjoy being there. I've never tried the food, but I will be sure to update when I do!

Food was that of your average burger joint. Make sure you ask for no pink to get an acceptable amount of pink in your burger. Food was delicious. Loved the Guava Passionfruit IPA and my daughter loved the Lost under the sea mocktail. Games were super reasonable and you can easily do a $10 in tokens between 2 people and they can add the tokens on your tab. On average we didn't spent more than 2 tokens on a game and they were all a throwback to our childhood days of the 80's and early 90's. Server was

Let me just say that this was the first time visiting Decades. It has an amazing layout and cool aesthetics. The food is ok, Not bad not great just ok. It's just typical bar food. The specialized drinks were cool but just not my taste. Beer choices are pretty good. The food and drink prices were good. Our server was nice but kinda messed up with what was ordered. They did apologize and provided extra play tokens which I did appreciate. The over all staff was friendly and helpful. The amount of games is subp

I didn't expect the food to be that good, but it was really good. The service was also REALLY good. We were there for a celebration with co-workers and the staff went out of their way to be of service and friendly in doing so. The atmosphere is what you would expect. While we didn't sit at the bar, it looks large and inviting. It's off to one side so it is "safe" to bring kids and enjoy the games and bowling and watch sports on the big screens. It's a fun place. Great place for "get togethers". Parking gara

Overpriced and underwhelming. The service is immensely slow, even on a Sunday at opening. It took nearly half an hour just to have someone come by to take a drink order, and over an hour for food. Ordered a nonalcoholic drink during lunch, it was $5 as stated on the menu. Then ordered it again during bowling and they informed me it was now $10 and it was the last one they had. Like...wtf?? Curly fries were also a $3 upcharge and were half frozen still. All of the food was mediocre. The layout is chaotic t

First time stopping in and was welcomed by very friendly staff. Sitting at the bar, we were greeted by Weston. Amazing customer service, very knowledgeable about their craft and a pleasure to speak with. Tyler was very friendly personable as well with a great sense of humor. The arcade games were fun, although I wish there were more options to choose from. On a busy night, it's kind of stuffy with long wait times. Would come again but preferably during a slower time

Though my friends are local, I am not. Every time I'm in Lancaster I always plead with them to go to Decades. This past weekend I was in town for Zenkaikon and my group of 7 came in on Saturday night for dinner. The staff and atmosphere here are always fantastic. Our waiter Ethan was the highlight of the night! He was so fantastic and really made our night. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

First time taking my wife to this place. An all in one entertainment. Bowling, arcades , bar and food. Oh and good music. We love going back in times and playing super Mario and Pac-Man.. after a nice meal feeling a little tipsy from the nice cocktails, this a nice place to spent on Saturday night

Walked into the unsuspecting apartment building? Wow! A huuuuge refurbished gymnasium turned restaurant,bar,arcade, bowling alley! My friends and I spent hours trying the delicious cocktails, playing games, and watching the football game. Can't wait to head back!

Pretty cool place. Restaurant and bar with retro arcade and games. Most games are 1 or 2 tokens. $5-10 in tokens keeps 1 adult/child busy. Also 6 lanes of bowling, @ $10 per person, for entertainment. Paid Parking garage right next door. Definitely going back

This is long over due. We have been going to Decades for many years. My son enjoys playing at all the different old school arcade games. He has fallen in love with the new addition upstairs. The wife and I enjoy going here for a date night. She fell in love with their cocktail menu many moons ago. They are always evolving their cocktail menu and coming up with new drinks.

Excellent atmosphere and fast service. The bar is fun and the BBQ bourbon wings and caprese were excellent. Lots of games and bowling. Fun for literally everyone.

This entertainment center had it all. It has a fantastic bar, bowling, arcade games, and great prices. Went for a date night and had a blast. I highly recommend this location if you are looking for after-hours fun and entertainment.

This place is eclectic! Very retro rustic feeling that takes us 80s babies back in time! Fried pretzel bites are a must try, the pulled pork is a little fatty for our taste anyways! Overall this place is a must see experience with tons of old school games.

Super fun. Super affordable. It's a bar, it's a restaurant, it's an arcade, it's a bowling alley. Take your pick. Tokens are $5 for 20, and sometimes they throw in a few more for good measure. Chill vibes. Nice drink selection. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere and drinks are definitely the highlight of this place. It's like a refined version of Dave and Buster?s. The food is good too although it's hard for it to compete with other restaurants in the area, but for a date night this is definitely a ton of fun!

Food was delicious. I love the gaming themed names for the dishes. Great selection of many of the mandatory arcade classics from the 80s and 90s. Prices were reasonable. Service was superb. What a very special place. Would visit again and again!

The front test was really nice and explained how everything ran. We were told 45-an hour understandable it was packed and Saturday night. Games were fun but limited compared to what I thought. Waiter was also the bartender and that's where the issues arose. It took forever to get the second half of our food and he's asked if we wanted boxes before the rest came. It was hard to get refills. The wings were flavorless and hard cooked way to hard. The Brussel sprouts weren't cooked long enough and also flavorle

We went on a Sunday night, and we were next expecting it to be as crowded as it was. There was an hour wait for a table, which was fine for us and we spent the time playing the arcade games. There was not a sign by the token machine for how much tokens you got for the bill you put in, so we ended up with a bunch of tokens and felt the need to use them all before we left which became a bit annoying since most games only take 1 or 2 tokens per person. There was a private party in the back, and also 50cent win

We had a party of 4 adults 1 child. They placed us in the middle of the bar area around what looked to be a pub crawl. We could barely move our chairs and some of the drunks started using our table as a coaster. Our server (Weston) was pretty good and very thorough but, he was also the bartender which means he couldn't devote any time at our table. My wife had to get us more drinks because he was too busy making drinks. I blame management for not scheduling enough staff on the Saturday before St. Patty's Da

Game selection is pretty poor, but everything was in good working order and most cost a quarter to play. No pinball. The beers and drinks were VERY expensive. Wings were pretty good for the price. Workers were very friendly and helpful.

School turned arcade/bowling place was very well executed. Food was good, do not try the sauces here unless you are fan of a strong vinegar base. Arcade was great, plenty of seating to watch games. We wanted to bowl but the queue was not until hours later and there's only about 4 to 5 lanes so better luck next time.

50 cent wings BC & Ranch were ok Had the Habanero Garlic, Ghost Pepper, Decades Hot, Sweet & Smoky BBQ all winners!!! Retro video games & creative drinks to round out a good experience!!!

The food choices are pricey for how small The portions are also The Soda small glass and again way over priced. Also i got the pretzel bites and the mustard tasted sour like it had turned very gross. Price of tokens cant complain. Waiter Service after waiting 45 minutes for a table bad. Last but not least there is no reason the music has to be that loud when everything else going make it hard enough to hear. Would go again to play games but food bad and over priced.

Food was excellent. Highly recommend the wings and cheese curds. Great place to bring teens. Great selection of old school games. Definitely going to bowl next time.

Omg this restaurant!! Came here on a whim for my sons birthday. Our server Alex was AMAZING, she was so sweet and attentive! Also a waiter named Laine! He was super cool and interactive. They had these super one of kind MYSTERY DRINKS. Only Wednesday and Thursdays. My best friend and I had a really fun time questing what drinks they were. It tells you in the fortune cookie you get, also a bonus chocolate! Food was out of this world ??. One selling point for me was the retro arcade games, bowling section, ol

This arcade was rad. I was just looking for a spot to grab food for a date; it quickly turned into the whole date. We will definitely be going a lot. The burgers were amazing, the bowling was fun, they have many classic games and they keep them cheap. Met Chris, an owner (the owner?), on the way out and complimented him on the place. Even that was a five star experience. Keep up the good work !!!

The Zenkaikon drink specials were amazing ! Get the blue mana one!! Amazing games! :) the staff was so friendly ! We had 1 mistake it was fixed fast and extra game coins give !!! Alfredo pasta. !! 10/10

We decided to try this as it has bowling, arcade and food. We went during Lancaster Restaurants Deal week around 4 pm. We ordered fried pretzel bites (which were the highlight of the meal), decade burgers (which were a little too cooked but good), and a kids burger (which was perfect). We paid $50 for the three of us to eat. The staff were friendly and the service on point.

Unique bar, restaurant, entertainment facility built inside a former Armory gymnasium. Interesting high arched ceiling, 6 lane bowling alley, lots of vintage arcade video games, air hockey, foosball, Skeeball, basketball game. Plenty of seating areaz for eating and visiting with friends.

My father operated Wings-2-Go for years. My wife attended college in Buffalo. I've had my share of wings as well. We all agree, Decades serves the best wings we've ever had. The retro arcade atmosphere, bowling alley, bar, big screen projector... all cool. They also have really nice restrooms. But in my opinion, none of that matters. Even if they had none of these things, I would go just for the wings.

Love it!!! Games a great prices... $10 goes a long ways. Food could improve a little bit. Drinks are good, but a little pricey. If you want some fun entertainment though, $35 can get you some drinks and a lot of play time!! I have not tries the bowling yet.

Fun atmosphere. Loud environment. Bowling is fun. Food is simple, but good options. Many options for drinks. Variety of people, some kids and many adults.

Great food and drinks with all the nostalgic video games you need

Fun experience. Mostly was there for food and drink. There did appear to be a lot of arcade games, though.

We had so much fun bowling!! Good service, played some games and decent food. As well as decent prices! Enjoyed ourselves.

Went here for the new years bash. Didn't have any of the food so I can't speak to that, but with how busy they were they kept my drinks flowing all night long. Got too messed up to use the bowling voucher or IV voucher at the end. For the few games and activities me and my girlfriend played I had a good time. Would have to go back for a more real experience

Great find in Lancaster. We were there for a soccer tournament and this place was within walking distance of the hotel. Such a cool place for kids and adults. They had a bunch of vintage arcade games (mortal combat, Mario brothers, Mario kart, frogger to name a few), bowling, and skee-ball. We ordered a bunch of drink pouches, craft beers and tried some food (wings, buffalo egg rolls, Pierogies, kids had hamburgers and chicken fingers). The service was good and attentive. Kids were busy and had games to pla

I've been eyeing this place for some time and finally went tonight for dinner. We ordered the wings, decades burger and grits! Wings = Cooked and seasoned so well and the meat was very tender and juicy. Gritz = My dad got this, looked creamy and cheesy, very good he said. ^^ Decades Burger = Filing but not heavy, juicy and flavorful but not overwhelming. Had a very fresh taste to it. Overall the service was great (Thanks Alexandra!) and so was the food. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu next

Great old school arcade machines! You can also go bowling but I think the lane is a little small and short for a 10-pin. But overall it was a fun place to hang out and dine with friends.

Awesome atmosphere! All the old school games were awesome. Like being a kid again. Will definitely be back for sure. Chicken and grits? Had me at hello. Appetizers were great, all shareable and the food was just great.

This place was so much fun! We jumped around to a lot of bars on St. Patrick?s Day and this place we stayed at the longest period between our group most of us Danny want to go when the rest did. The games are fun, cheap, and who doesn't love old retro games? They got a full kitchen, they have a full bar and they also have bowling lanes for 36 bucks an hour up to six people on the lane. Their prices are great, and I hope they stay open for a long time!

Decades is one of my favorite places to go to. So much to do between the arcade games, bowling and dining. The burgers are amazing, the chips that come with the burgers are great and have only had their apple crumble which you must order with ice cream, it's delicious! They also have a bar with big screens to watch the football game on. It's family friendly but they also have an 18+ time in the evenings.

The food was great, had the chicken and waffles, the service and staff was A+, was great to see them wearing masks still even wore, "I'm vaccinated," stickers, they had hand sanitizers every where. Bravo, on the COVID protocols and safety! The games were fun, tons of 80s and 90s arcade games, bowling, and a great bar. I'd highly recommend checking this place out!

This was the coolest place I've been to in a long time!!!! The drinks were phenomenal. They had every arcade game one could ask for. I can't wait to go back!

Best place for a nostalgic drink-mixed-with hardcore-arcade-gaming experience!! Let's go! Great wings, bartenders are super awesome and attentive.

What a cool place. We stumbled upon this because the place we were going to go was too crowded. I had the braised rib sandwich with caramelized onions, my daughter had the BBQ wings, and we split a Cesar salad. Everything was great. Then there are tons of games and bowling and full bar. Cool place.

There are not too many places around where you can catch an hour of bowling, enjoy a retro arcade, and have a great burger. I loved Decades, and so did my kids. If I'm in the area again, I will surely stop in. Also, gotta give a shout out to our amazing server Colby!

A group of 30 of us visited Decades on at Sunday at their opening time. We ate lunch first which was delicious and our waiter was ON IT! Great selection of drinks - even Busch Light Peach!!! The kids loved all the games and some got to bowl for the first time. The owners did a great job remodeling yet maintaining some of the old character of the Armory. Great job. Keep up the good work.

We went for our Anniversary and had a nice time. We didn't do the bowling but had dinner, which was good. I really enjoyed my chicken cordon bleu sandwich and my wife seemed to like the sausage with risotto. The place has retro arcade games that we played. The historic building was at one time a National Gaurd armory. It was interesting to see how it was refurbished and turned into a bar/restaurant/bowling alley/arcade.

Tried to visit on a Sunday since they advertise a wing special on Facebook. Walked in never having been there before and was abruptly confronted by an extremely rude they/them employee who actually laughed at us for just wanting to try the wings. Told me that there was no way of getting a table, it wasn't even 6pm yet. We decided to check the bar for seats and counted 8 tables that were unoccupied, 2 were ready to go, 6 just needed bussed and cleaned. We watched for a bit and saw that while they had 3 to 4

Fun spot overall The staff was very friendly and helped us with our questions The pretzel bites were delicious! While there are a lot of arcade games, my wife and I didn't think there were a lot of quality options We found a half dozen of the 30ish games available intriguing

This is a barcade on the next level! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and vast collection of vintage cabs.

It is a very cool place for adults, or adults with kids. If you're nostalgic for 90s videos games, this place is for you. Along with a host of other activities. Our table service was slow, but they were busy.

Super fun throwback arcade with excellent cocktails. The game selection is extensive and reasonably-priced, and very well-maintained.

Arrived before 8:00pm to eat and play games. Denied entry because we had a child under 21, even though the sign said 8:30. No apology or anything saying please stop back another time or any kind of comp. Wasted $5 for the parking garage to park for nothing. Very disappointed.

I've been here a handful of times now and every time I leave I always look forward to going back ?? Our bartender Colby was fantastic and made some of the best drinks I've ever ordered from a bar. Even without drinks, the game and food options here are wonderful and something I have and will continue to bring people back for!

Loved the place and the waitor was great. Arcade has the best games and the burgers were phenomenal! I got the gauntlet and it was delicious.

Every employee we interacted with was really helpful and kind. The atmosphere was awesome for both kids and adults. Starting at the bar, we were entertained watching the cocktails being made. When the rest of our 7 person group got there, we got set up for bowling really quickly and accommodations were made for 2 kids. Our server was unfazed by our chaotic group and we enjoyed the delicious food, while having a great experience bowling. Every 20 minutes we were saying "it's so cool here!". We had a blast pl

Food and drinks were good. Service was great. Iconic retro arcade games. Didn't bowl but it sounded like the ones doing so were having a blast. Definitely will be visiting again.

service wise the worst hosts really dont care about serving you had me waiting for more than 45 min for a table i never got and told me to sit on second floor and just go and order my food at the bar Lol ?i stood there for 15 minute and not a single bartender asked me if i needed something worst experience till now probably will never return.

I went to decades on December 21st on a very busy Saturday I might add and I loved it the games where fun, the drinks where amazing, atmosphere was great! I literally have never seen staff work so hard you guys are great! I had a group of about 12 people I put in for a bowling lane, this very sweet energetic girl I believe her name was Paige she was a gem and her personality is a vibe! She made us laugh and kept a smile on our face. Felt bad because we kept breaking the lanes and she was already all over th

This was my second visit to Decades with friends, and we had a great time again. The cocktails are imaginative and delicious. The food is solid and comes out quickly. Our group was big enough that we got to try lots of options. Strongly recommend the pretzel bites, short rib grilled cheese, and truffle fries. Place was super busy since it was a Saturday night, and the staff was running hard to keep up, but everyone maintained a great attitude. I am sure we will be going back. ??
