Vincent was very kind and welcoming. When we didn't know what to play, he asked us what types of games we liked + recommended games + walked us through the first couple rounds. This place is lovely. Great selection of games. The only board game club I've seen that has a large Chinese game collection.
The idea of this place I great. The beverages are awesome and the snacks are fun but the staff is pushy and inappropriate. The kid that does the cleaning wouldn't stop trying to hit on us and the person, who I'm assuming is the owner, kept following us around and listening in on our conversations. We just wanted to play monopoly and drink some tea but we were uncomfortable almost the entire time and decided to leave fairly quickly.
Signage stated each purchase allowed 2 hours to use the television. TV was turned of in the middle of our game after 2 hours with 3 drinks on the table. When we inquired as to why, we were told we all played at the same time. We will never come here again
Nice space to go hang out, with bubble teas. I had the strawberry bubbles for thr first time -- they burst like little gushers!
The guy Eric is having fun here.
super good party game experience here? Cool games?
excellent atmosphere

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.”
