We came into town for the Big 12 basketball tournament and stopped here for something to do with the kids. And it did not disappoint! So much fun! The boys played the VR games (and there are a ton of options). Staff was VERY nice and helped to educate along the way. Please stop and support local businesses like this. Wonderful people! Food, bar and games!
We hosted our corporate event at DoubleTap KC and it was nothing short of spectacular! This venue offers an incredible mix of virtual reality, arcade fun, delicious food, yummy drinks and even karaoke-making it the perfect place for our celebration. Terry was great to work with and the staff was top notch. Our team has been talking about how much fun they had for days and is ready to do it again. If you are looking for a unique and exciting venue for a corporate event, this is the place. Highly recomme
Virtual reality, scrumptious wings, stacked burgers, amazing cocktails, & arcade games are just some of the items that can be found at Double Tap in KC. This is a great spot to go with a group of friends or on a date. We had an absolute blast slaying zombies with the virtual gaming gear on! I would recommend ordering the cheeseburger egg rolls, the cheese curds, the jalapeno macaroni & cheese bites, the lemon pepper wings, the BYOBurger & more! Don't forget to try your states' drink! There are 50 different
This was our first time here and Joji made the experience super fun. He knew exactly the right games to recommend and was so helpful accommodating the age difference of 21 year-old to 62-year-olds. We had a wonderful family time with my nephews. The food is also delicious and the bartender was impressively astute, remembering our order without writing it down and actually getting it right.
We hosted our Project Grad for our high school seniors and everyone had a great time. The staff are so helpful and attentive in getting the kids through the taco bar and onto all the various VR games. Highly recommend Terry and his kind and enthusiastic team!
We came in right as they opened yesterday and played VR escape room for my daughter?s birthday. We were a couple minutes early before opening, but they welcomed us right in. We were educated about the games from the super friendly host. We were offered drinks and food from the efficient server/bartender, and given a great tutorial by the helpful and patient employee who manages the experience. All three men made our group of three feel so welcome and valued. We laughed and played, celebrating my daughter?s
I took my friends and family here for my 32nd birthday and had an excellent time. The VR games are a blast and the food and drinks are great. Highly recommend
Enjoyed VR gaming with family and everyone had a blast. Only scheduled one hour so we finished up right as everyone was starting to get the hang of it. Will book longer next time! They were also super accommodating when we had to reschedule our original booking.
I'm a tourist so I was unsure about parking and stuff and showed up early. They were happy to accommodate and let us chill while we waited. We decided to munch and the chips and salsa were delicious! Tvs are HUGE and vr is great! Highly recommend!
What a fun time! Such a great atmosphere. Tons of games for the VR lanes, arcade was fun, food was on point and the bartender is top notch! Ask for Jo at the front for the best game ringmaster. Want to cut loose and laugh this is the place.
We went for a birthday party. Joji was our host and did amazing! He gave us so many tips and helped us through the whole experience. He was fun and personable and made our night 10x better!
Bartender was very rude and when we acknowledged it she become confrontational and then the other bartender immediately came to confront me and go as far as call me ugly for trying to reason with him. That made me upset and that caused a bigger issue than it should have been. I do not recommend calling management they do nothing about it and simply deny it all. And go as far as to calling you aggressive when you only tried to address the problem. Mind you this was our first night in town and we moved in acr
Came here from out of town (from a small town) and we don't get out much. We were super impressed with the food and service. Honestly probably some of the best bar food we have ever had. Our service Tommy made us feel right at home and gave us a great experience. I would highly recommend this place. 10/10
I had a surprise birthday party for my husband last month in a premium lane and we all had a blast! Communication with the owner beforehand was prompt and informative, as he was eager to offer plenty of suggestions for me to pass along to the party goers. The surprise itself was a success, and it's all thanks to the staff for putting in the extra effort to make it special! Food and drink service was great, and we all couldn't get enough of the VR games. Double Tap especially excelled with their fun and acco
Came out for music bingo. They had decent specials. The staff was amazing, super friendly, gave the run down of all the fun stuff that was happening through the week and was very attentive. The parm, bacon popcorn was my favorite and the mixed drinks were strong but really good.
We had a great time at this place! The staff was absolutely top notch, they were all so attentive and helpful. The virtual reality games are a lot of fun and I've never seen a place offer such a variety of VR games to choose from! The staff keeps an eye on your games and helps you out if you get confused or stuck. There's a bunch of arcade games to play if you're not playing the VR games, too. Great vibes and atmosphere. We will absolutely be back.
I gotta say for my first time doing VR double tap KC is definitely the spot to be from the moment I walk in with my family we were greeted enthusiastically and was catered to make sure our first experience was excellent.... Very nice staff food was amazing and I will definitely be making a concerted effort to go back as much as I can Don't cheat yourself out of a fun night with double tap highly recommend
Man, what an awesome place! -I have a 5900x/6950xt/x570 combo with Quest 2 at home for reference(experienced Vr User-High Tier AMD Pc) pic/benchmark included- The drinks here are delicious, or at least the Double Tap THAT A$$. We also had an order of chicken nachos. Staff was more than friendly. Literally, everyone from the FOH, to the server, to the cook communicated so well and kindly. It made the experience so friendly. It's HTC Vive headsets and controllers; the ones we used seem in good condition and
It's worth going to: so please do. The staff are great. The setup is great. The PC specs are legit. The alcohol is very tasty. The owner seems like a stand-up guy. It's pretty quiet so go at an "off" time and enjoy if you're worried about people.
Went here for my early birthday tonight. 1st time really doing the VR games. It was a blast!!! It was something different & had a great time. Look forward to going again. (Drobe couple hours just to try it out & plan to do again soon!!)
We came for a superbowl watch party. The TV's were not great, cheap brand and small. The wait staff did a great job considering how busy they were. The music was Loud, club type music, and played immediately when a commercial started and stopped whenever the dj thought it was on again, usually too late. The nuances of a superbowl watch party were removed completely, as no commercials or commentary could be heard. I wish I would have chosen ANY another place to watch. This place is probably u fun spot most
if you like drinking challenges you have to check out their 50 state bomb shot challenge. In addition check out their facebook, tiktok and instagram pages for some really cool marketing events. The most recent one I participated in was their beer Olympics tournament this is held twice a year and only cost 10.00 per team which gets you ton of swag and includes the first 5 beers. They have tons of events and there food is not horrible.
We had a group of 9 so I booked the 3 headset room. It was a lot of fun, the workers were a lot of help and consistently getting us more drinks and food. We were able to hang out after and play some more games around the bar.
I had a reservation scheduled 2/8/25 at 7pm for my birthday. When we showed up , the power went out at 7:02, then again 3 times at 7:45 and at that point they apologized and told everyone they would need to go home because the power outages may keep happening. We hadn't got to play yet before we were sent home . I told them I'd reach out the following day for a refund or to reschedule and at that time they told me we did in fact play and that the power didn't go out until 8 so he would have to check with hi
A fun atmosphere, Thursday nights is music bingo, AMAZING drinks. Do the 50 states shot challenge. The service is top notch, I arrived one day and because the hours were wrong on Google, they were closed. The manager served us himself so we can knock a drink off our challenge although they were closed.
Awesome! We had a birthday party for my 16 year old son with his friends. We reserved an upstairs lane with three lanes and had great service for the couple of hours that we played. It's a fun and unique experience. I would highly recommend it.
Joji was the best host EVER! Makes me want to come 1 mil times again!
This place is great! Definitely call in advance to reserve VR. They have ESPN+. Hosts and servers are super friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. Massive selection of mixed drinks. Great selection of games. Big interior space for seating. Food is perfectly acceptable and enjoyable.
I'm from Detroit Michigan, and this place hands down is one of the best vibes and environments to have some drinks and food in.... highly recommend checking this place out... ask for Terry he is the goat!
Very good experience here. Loved the VR Escape room experience. Will definitely try again another time again. Very much a good place to be and very welcoming
A super fun spot in the River Market. VR, arcade and pinball games with a full bar and food menu. Staff is excellent and very friendly. A lot of happy hour options
The staff was extremely helpful in explaining different VR games and how to play. Each staff member was kind and friendly.
We took the kids for VR. Joji MADE the experience. Lots of fun. We will be back!
Even IF you have VR at home, this is a must do with friends! One thing we don't do much of at home that I totally underestimated? Multiplayer is so much fun! Their space is designed for 2's, but there is lanes for more people and bigger parties!
I will say that their wings were fried to perfection. The sauces tasted like they were from a jar, but the wings themselves were terrific.
Awesome place! The vibes are good and the karaoke is so much fun.
Cool place to do something different and Joji was fantastic very good energy and very accommodating
Fun bar with friendly staff. Free Nintendo Switch games, cheap arcade style games, board games, Jenga, and VR party packages. DJ sets at night. Event/food/drink specials going on every day of the week. Do the 50 state shot challenge. Pretty decent food, though they do not have fresh guacamole...it comes pre packaged. Bottomless mimosas! They use Wycliffe champagne. Bought earrings from a staff member who makes them!
Such a fun place! Visiting from Florida. Favorite new spot in KC! Sam is a great bartender. Definitely kept me around for the day! You definitely want to keep her around! I'll be back.
Joji was awesome! Very helpful and made it a fun experience
Such a fun experience! Even listening to other playing while we ate and drank was a total entertainment package!
The food was best I've ever had! Tommy the bartender was so friendly! I will definitely be back. Best wings ever! Thank you to all the staff for making such a great experience for us.
If you like it and have the money, it's OK, very over priced and not good service
There is no debate that this is a bar. Yes, there are a handful of games, but at its core it is a bar. They serve bar food and most of the main floor is taken by the bar. They do have events as well, but they are geared toward adults. When we were there it was for what I thought would be video trivia; however, it was definitely geared toward adults and was not trivia, It was random silly questions and the participants were encouraged to be "funny and creative" with their answers, which resulted in many inap
Had the most amazing experience here. Our server Bobbie was very helpful. She helped me pick a drink mango strawberry flavor. She was extra through when she explained the rules of the virtual reality game. Highly recommend this place and they have a happy hour everyday.
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a surprise party at Double Tap, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible experience. From start to finish, the team at Double Tap went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect. The atmosphere was absolutely fantastic! The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure that everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. I cannot thank Double Tap enough for their kindness, generosity, and hospitality. The surprise party a
Great Place to stop for a drink and food after work. Their daily specials are great and late happy hour until 7pm!
The Gentleman in charge of the place is incredibly kind and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a smaller chair to sit in to accommodate my cerebral palsy and didn't even bat an eye about it. He's also very professional with a great sense of humor.
Had a great time here. Visiting from L.A. and received great service. VR was fun and enjoyed watching a game.
My favorite place to have to have a drink and watch the game. Sam is fantastic. Her customer service is fantastic. You can tell the people working here enjoy what they do, and that makes a world of difference.
Came in for my 30th birthday the other day and it was awesome!! Drinks were delicious, the cheese sticks and bacon popcorn are amazing, and the staff is awesome!! Definitely going to have to go back. ??
Brooke helped me set up a surprise party for my daughter. Carlos made sure we had everything we needed. Chris was a doll and catered to our every need! Jess made sure everything was perfect. It was a great event space for our party of 20. The prices were reasonable and the food was delicious! The games and arcade were so much fun! Will definitely be going back! Thank you for making my daughter's day so special!
Me and my friends had a blast this past weekend celebrating my birthday! I'm officially now obsessed with playing VR? the employees were all so friendly and accommodating and the drinks were good (and flowing!) Can't wait to go back!
Visiting for the weekend. Walked in and Sam brought the vibes! Talked us into VR and started our bomb challenge. We will definitely be back to play some more and finish our bomb card! Awesome and fun place!
It was fun . We went with a group of 7 , we played a few games , for a hour and split the cost . Definitely would do again , by myself or with a group . Great for dates , good if competitive.
Service is great. Loved the drinks and games. Will stop by everytime we're in town
I had their brunch today & it was absolutely amazing I had the Feeling Flirty drink & Veggie Omelet. I definitely recommend this place.
Unique experience with great service. They have a wide variety of drinks but limited amount of VR sets. if there is more than 3 groups looking to play be ready to wait. With that said they have a great patio and overall enjoyed my time. Look forward to come back!
Madison and Lily are the best bartenders in KC, hands down! Great vibes, great staff, great tunes. 10/10 would recommend!
I hosted a holiday party here for my team and it was wonderful! The service was great and super efficient. The owners were on site and very helpful as well. they had a great set-up for our group of about 10 people. The prices were affordable and it was a unique and fun way to show some appreciation for my staff. I would highly recommend checking them out!
Had a great time with the kids. Food and service was amazing. Beer and VR was a lot of fun. We'll definitely be back.
Best bar in KC.. if you know you know? the queso burger is tooooo ????????????
Great place to watch a chiefs or current game! Energy is awesome and it's always a fun time
Taco Tuesday drew me in and won me over. That's a very filling deal they have on some great quick and delicious bar tacos. Not to mention the excitement of the VR tournaments. If you're looking to be entertained and satiated Double Taps got you covered. The staff kept me smiling the whole time with their attentiveness and ease of pace. I'll be back for them more than any other aspect.
The headsets kept not working the entire time so we spent half of the hour just trying to get the system to work right with one of the headsets and the other half playing games so we didn't really get the entire hour. We could only play a few games because others wouldn't work with one of the headsets. It was really disappointing because I wanted it to be a fun experience for both of us. We will try another place. This place is more so for people who want to drink and hang out around games but not really pl
Love, Love, Love this place! We had a party of 9 people come in on a Saturday afternoon for my husband?s birthday (everything was reserved beforehand and I would recommend doing this if you want to do the VR stuff). We did 2 escape rooms (half of our party in one and half in another) and then 2 hours of the Arcade lane and then we had dinner in a few booths afterwards. Service was amazing! I called the day before to see if I could add more people to one of the escape rooms since we had more end up coming. T
Hands down, the best gaming experience I've ever had! Currently working my way through the 50 states of bombs!!
Food was mediocre, but that wasn't what we came for. The VR escape room was so much fun! We also stayed for the free music bingo and it was a great time! We will definitely visit again.
I hosted a birthday party here and it was amazing! We did one escape room and one hour of arcade with food in between. The Chopped Cheese was *AMAZING*! We did Signal Lost for the escape room and it was really fun. The only downside was that some of the VR controls didn't work properly (the right button on one of my D-pads wouldn't work, the controllers disconnected during the Beat Saber-type game). There were just a few little things like that, but they didn't take away from the full experience. Highly rec
This bar is a hidden gem Jess and Brian are amazing Jess put alot of research into her bomb wall and is very accurate to each state. We didn't do the vr thing but bingo was fun and the atmosphere is amazing. My wife and I always look for dive bars but this gem is by far our favorite spot in town.
Madison is amazing! This place is so legit. Please treat yourself and have some fun at this VR bar!! You won't regret it!
We came in today to celebrate my daughter?s 16th birthday. We all had so much fun! We booked the Premium Lane which came with three headsets. We booked it for two hours and the time flew by! The staff was super nice and helped us through the whole thing. It's nice that we had our own separate area to hang out and enjoy a meal as well. Totally recommend this to anyone who loves to have fun!
Well I went in, tried to get someone who worked there to talk to me. I saw bartender flirting so she can get good tips, saw no waiters, waitresses, and I have no idea if anyone there is running the VR as a host. Because I couldn't find anyone
I spent about 90 on food and 4 drinks then spent another 100 or so on more drinks and music ??
Great food, great drinks, great service!! Gotta get my picture on the wall for taking all 50 state shots! #goals
After reading reviews we went to double tap prices are good and the environment is enjoyable but many reviews mentioned being double charged. We ended up getting double charged on a 104$ bill. We've disputed the charge but be aware this is a very serious issue they have as I mentioned I read reviews about other guests being double charged before I ever reached the bar. Yes that's on me for not listening to reviews, but I was thrown off by their many good ones. To explain that, they offer a free shot for any
Great atmosphere and even better staff?literally no place I rather watch sports and grab a drink
Fun environment they have smash and Mario kart and 50 different SHOT??Caleb Da best bartender here????????
DoubleTap is one of our favorite go-to?s! The food is awesome, the 50 bomb challenge is so much fun, the vibe is relaxed but upbeat, but what really makes this place special is the staff. They work so hard to make sure you're taken care of. 10/10 recommend this place!!
Nice little bar. We've gone for Wednesday night trivia a couple times. First time the drinks were weak, last time they were strong. Last time we got a chicken quesadilla, it was huge and covered in a block of cheddar cheese. So, you know, nice. Trivia is fun and super chill.
It was a great experience. Matt made sure we got setup and explained the controls of the VR gaming. Shayla was the absolute best (shoutout Compton) she made sure drinks and food were delivered in a timely manner. She came to make sure we were always good. 10/10 would recommend coming here for a chill vibe with good drinks and food. The stamp card for the shot challenge is great too btw????
Here for a bachelor party, and the service were excellent! We accidentally booked three hours of arcade games, but wanted to play the escape room. The employee helping us and the manager were extremely accommodating and allowed us to switch over because one escape room (50 min.) was the same price as three hours of arcade time. Everyone was helpful, the food was good, and the games were fun! Play the prison escape game if you are looking for a classic escape room (it's not scary). Also, if you are getting a
This place is fantastic! I brought a group of 20 for a team outing last night and it was a really great time. The owners were great to work with before and during the event. The rest of the staff and service was great too. The VR systems worked well and everyone had fun playing. Good drinks and shots all around. We will definitely be back!
Best service, best bartenders, obviously best VR, but all around best time. You won't be disappointed! Update! Double Tap has food!
This place is amazing!! Ive hosted two events here and both were so much fun for everyone. The first was a team event and our employees of all ages had a great time. Then I had a bday/engagement party here. We thought the amount of people we had would be a problem (16) or us. There were games to play and large tables to gather at while others did the VR headsets. Service and staff were phenomenal!! They were on it to make sure our group was well taken care of. Thank you double tap for an amazing night!!
Talk about customer service! This place is amazing! The food was convenient and adequate for the setting but the drinks and the service were outstanding. The VR was great, lots of choices of games. Perfect choice for teens on a cold day.
I happened upon this place by searching for gaming bars and saw the reviews were great, so we booked a lane and came here with friends for a bday celebration. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. From check in until the end of the night they were there helping us out. They have someone who gets you set up in your lane and checks on you while you're playing. The person we had (Cale?) was so helpful and gave us great advice and was there through the night if we had any questions. Not to mention, the dri
This place caters to the gaming crowd. We didn't try any of the games but they offer VR experiences plus arcade-type games, and there's trivia on Wednesdays. The overall atmosphere feels modern and the service is good.
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.
