Customer Reviews

Overall a great experience!! I went there with a friend group couple of times and we all had a great time. The only thing I would possibly want is probably like a call button for when you need help because I had to get out of my chair and go to the front like 20 times and it is annoying to have to get through all the chairs and walk up to the front and come back and do it again. But it was still very good and I will come back again

I've been a loyal patron of iBattle Gaming Centreville for the past 3 years, relying on their facilities to complete my coursework for both Northern Virginia Community College and James Madison University. I can confidently say that they have been instrumental in my academic success, helping me maintain a 3.5 GPA. The staff consistently provides exceptional customer service, fostering a friendly, positive, and energetic atmosphere. The workspace and gaming areas are always clean and well-maintained, creati

This place has a really cool vibe. The staff are all super chill. They seem to connect with everyone who walks in. It's like they just know how to make you feel comfortable. No wonder everyone seems so relaxed and happy to be there. It's definitely the kind of place you want to hang out in. Good vibes all around! I could spend all day there.

Came to visit randomly in the middle of the night with a couple of friends after discovering there was a new ?PC ?? in the area! Met one of the owners who was really knowledgeable about running these kinds of businesses. I believe he also owns another location in Annandale under another name. The place looks awesome. The computers were also top notch with literally any PC game you would want to play. Light refreshments were also available for purchase. I'll definitely be back again!

Very clean and pleasant staff! Visited for the first time last week and the location was very clean and well kept. The staff working there are very friendly and willing to assist with any issues. They support hundreds of games on different platforms and should satisfy most gamers. If you don't see your game of choice, iBattle allows you to install games which is a plus. They also sell snacks by the counter when you walk in, and has a solid variety to choose from (Ramen, snacks, drinks, ice cream, etc).

The equipment and overall environment here are impressive?clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. I spend $50-100 on gaming here each week, and recently paid over $40 for some hours. However, when I arrived with a half-full can of Celsius energy drink, I was told to either finish it immediately or throw it away due to the ?snacks policy.? Frankly, I find this policy frustrating, overly strict, and disappointing. Given the amount I spend to use the computers, I would expect some flexibility, especially since

Nice, fresh, and clean environment. Their service is top notch from getting you registered as a member to being a high-tech gamer. I love their equipment and setup along with several choices of treats, meals, and beverages to keep on your side as you do you business. At first I expected it to be loud considering this place is all about gaming but it's very chill and haven't heard a single person rage quit yet.

I recently visited an internet gaming caf? and was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness and customer service. As soon as I walked in, I noticed how well-maintained and spotless the environment was, making it a comfortable place to spend hours gaming. The stations were impeccably organized, with no dust or clutter, and the chairs and equipment looked almost new. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. As someone who occasionally needs assistance with tech setups, I appreciated how ready and will

I have been alot with my friends and recently got a membership, if you want almost unlimited games, its way worth to get like 2 hours here rather than pay for all of it on steam

The few times i?ve been here has been great! It's a clean and organized environment. The snacks options are yummy. The staff are nice and helpful as well. Definitely a nice spot to go and spend some time to chill.

I've been a few times now, yet to have a negative experience. Friendly and helpful staff, nice setups, clean, good food selection. Highly recommend to anyway who's curious to check out a PC cafe or looking for easy PC access.

Great computers, nice atmosphere and they offer a bunch of snacks too!!

Nice clean environment. Associates very professional and efficient in setting it up for a first visit to play some in-house games. Streamlined process with no hassle. Had a couple games interested that wasn't there, and was in turn offered friendly help in submitting request to management for them to be potentially acquired and installed. All in all a promising start for walk-in pc gaming experience that could be a good entertainment option within local area.

This place is so fun ! The staff especially are amazing, friendly and very helpful. Jacob made my experience so much better. Highly recommend all the gamers to stop by and check it out

Boys enjoyed some high speed gaming open late in Centreville! Pretty affordable and they loved it. Ask daily to go back.

Told the front desk employee it was my first time and I wanted a few hours. He was helpful while I was there and I even asked for more hours. As I was leaving, I asked if there was a way I could save my remaining four hours to an account. They gave a stoneface reply ?We can't do that. Sorry.?. I asked if there was no way to credit the remaining hours to a new account, but they persisted with the same stoneface reply. I had four hours left which was worth over $30. Controller and chairs were sticky. I still

First time going, loved it the vibe was great! They have many games to chose from on their steam account if you don't already have the game you want to play, definitely recommend!

The space is great, very clean and organized so were the snacks, they have a huge variety to choose from. While we were playing a person behind us left and not even 5 mins later a work was cleaning down that area and sanitizing it which was great to see, and the process of playing and logging in was very easy. Definitely recommend checking it out as I'm prolly gonna be a regular now

Throwback to when we used to go to cyber cafes because the internet at home was awful. A group of friends and I go regularly to play old school counterstrike or whatever game we want to play. The PCs they have are top of the line. Really clean, great snack bar selection and the people that work there are absolutely awesome. Very friendly, helpful and make the experience a lot more pleasant. Great options to eat nearby whenever we are done or before we meet up. Can not recommend this place enough.

NOTHING WAS UPDATED waited 30 mins for the call of duty to load shaders it was also in third person for some reason told the guy working there but he only granted me 15 mins wont be going there anymore

This is a very cool place to be. You can relax and play virtually any game you want on their available PCs. It's also a cool way to game while simultaneously getting out of the house :)

Definitely an ideal place to come and chill out to game or even host a group session to game with friends! Everything is great with the set up and especially the snack/food area! You won't be breaking the bank with this experience.

Very fun clean organized place to enjoy Video games with friends! Highly recommend forsure.

Friendly staff! Great PCs! Clean environment and fair prices! Highly recommend!

This is a great platform to get started in the gaming field, the staff here at iBattle have been a huge inspiration and help to get my gaming account started and hopefully, soon, will be able start my own YouTube channel through iBattle. Thanks for all the encouragement and support from the staff there, they are great.. I do recommend somehow they might be able to go back to 24 hours, but i only recommend doing that if they have the available staff and enough gamers there at late hours. I honestly wouldn't

Went to play with 3 friends and the employee put us on steam accounts with no games and after we paid told us the ones with games were already in use?.Luckily mine had a single game on it, left 4 dead 2, so I played alone while my friends were just sitting there waiting for the employee to call the manager to help?.He didn't help at all. They offered no refund, no time back and didn't seem to care at all?

Very clean, helpful staff, and plenty of games to play! All the pc?s are powerful enough to play any new games at 120fps and controllers and headphones are available. Loved my time there, plus snacks!

When first walking in I was already hooked on the atmosphere. I love the idea of it and the pricing is really affordable whether you're a member or not with a lot of options of games to play! Love how they offer drinks and some food options as well! Will be definitely be going more often and bringing more friends!

The customer service was amazing. The membership here is also has a great deal. You can bring your own mouse and keyboard in case you rather use yours! I was able to have so much fun with my friends here cause of the abundance of games!

Staff are friendly and professional. Rates are fair and you get a lot of time for what you pay for. I recommend getting a lifetime membership for the discounted time pricing. They have a great selection for snacks and drinks at the front desk as well. Overall vibe is nice. Reminds me the gaming net cafe's in South East Asia. They have e-sports broadcasts by the front desk as well as games playing via projector on the back wall. Gaming set ups are definitely up to par for professional performance. Ping is

Very cool business model, I enjoy the atmosphere and the pricing, would definitely recommend

They used to be so good. Now, they increased their prices and their computers slowed down.

At first thought it would be very gross with disrespectful workers. However, after visiting with friends it's quite the opposite. The worker there (William) was super friendly and also helped us check if they had a game we wanted to play which he installed on our steam accounts that we used at that time. They allow you to bring your own things as well which is a huge bonus!

Great atmosphere. Welcoming and cozy. Front desk staff was super nice on the evening of 10/7. Good deal for the lifetime membership. If you're a gamer in the area, you should definitely visit.??

We came to play Phasmophobia. The guy showed us they had the game in the front and then once we paid and sat down they told us they didn't have accounts with the game on them because they were all in use. Why not tell us that before we paid?? Didn't offer a refund or to give us the half hour of time we paid for back while we sat there waiting for him. Manager was not there but the guy working called the manager and apparently all he had to say was ?nothing he could do, all sales are final? Terrible!!

I forget the gentleman's name that helped me, but, I was happy with my first time experience. I was welcomed and thoroughly explained how the process works there and he answered all the questions I had. I signed up for the membership without hesitation and would highly recommend this place to my friends and family!

One of the best gaming centers in the dmv area hand down. Have been recent coming with my group of friends and we honestly love this place. Great vibes great atmosphere

Super clean, friendly staff who know their stuff, and awesome machines! Got some snacks and had a ton of fun playing here, reminds me of the old LAN days but updated!

Me and 3 friends paid for an hour to play a horror game they said they had. We waited 15 minutes for him to tell us there were no more steam accounts. Another 15 minutes for him to make a call to his manager to try to get us logged into accounts with the game. After half an hour we asked if we could get the time comped or come back when they had open accounts. ?All sales are final?. No comp time. No games to play. No refunds. Not sure what we paid for.

Staff are helpful and friendly to first timers. My friends and I had a fun time playing games here :) They have plenty of snack/drink options if you get hungry, and the computer performance was great! Had a great time here.

Great LAN Center in Centreville - All computers are quick and up to date, and peripherals are clean and modern as well. Can't really ask for more when it comes to ?PC-Bang? style gaming cafes. Come if you get the chance, it's a great experience.

Place looks amazing. Came on opening day and got a free T-shirt :D Will definitely come back again

This place is great! Accommodating, friendly, nice atmosphere, clean, and the selection of games is superb. They have admin accounts with said games, so you can try out games for yourself before you buy them if you want, etc. It's a good time!

this place is amazing. the PCs run very well and i see myself they're frequently cleaned after every person, the snack variety is great and the service is amazing! i go here all the time and i very much recommend

Nice atmosphere, though I have to say the seating arrangement could be done a bit better especially when there's only a few people. I'd love a tab system for the snacks, just scan and keep a card on file to pay all at once. And maybe dim the lights(or switch to floor lights similar to movie theaters) and give each desk their own lights

Nice place. They clean the equipment after people leave which is good to see. If there's anything wrong, you can just call for help from your pc and they'll come and help you. They have snacks and beverages too!

Always have a positive experience when coming here. The staff is helpful and attentive, and the equipment seems to be well taken care of!

The front desk guy was amazing. He helped us answer questions about the lifetime membership and any sort of confusion we may have about it. It was my first time going with my boyfriend. So it was amazing!

Came from MN! Never have experienced a gaming cafe . Great setups, amazing connection? allowed myself to continue my gaming life even far from home. They have wonderful staff, as well as great drink and snack choices while gaming! Very well priced. If I was native to this area and didn't have the money for a gaming setup, I would be here everyday! No doubt about it.

Great meet up spot! Place was clean, games ran smoothly, and a large selection of games to play. And, should for some reason, there be a game you own that they don't have and you do, you can log in to your own accounts as well. All in all it's a really great experience! I definitely intend to go back soon

I have never been to a PC Cafe and I decided to come here with a friend on Sunday night. It's very clean and looks nice. They have tons of snacks and drinks at the front too. We tried it out for an hour, the guy at the front desk was extremely helpful explaining how the place works, and logging us into accounts so we could play games we didn't own. This is definitely something I plan on doing regularly with friends. Next time I go I plan on getting the membership because it makes the hourly rate much lower.

Had a great time playing a variety of games at iBattle with friends. Each PC has everything you need for any game. The staff were really helpful with everything to make sure our group was set up well.

The staff here is helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly, they have awesome high-end gaming PCs that work very well, and a nice selection of snacks and drinks to choose from. Everything is clean, neat, and well maintained. They have A LOT of games already installed, but if there's a game that's not installed, they won't dock your hours for the time it takes to install. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Overall superb place. They have upper-mid tier PCs, nice selection of snackage & drinks, staff are very chill, and the place is kept clean (they clean each station after a customer leaves).

Front desk is nice and supportive, prices for snacks and time are good, and the membership is a really good deal. The peripherals are subpar, but you can always bring your own K&M or controller. The computers are really good and they offer accounts to play paid games for free.

Very cool place, love going here with my brothers, also very good selection of snacks

This place was amazing! I went here with a bunch of friends and we all got to sit together. Everything was clean, well prepared, they had pretty much every game, and top notch equipment! Also the worker Jakob helped out everyone and was amazing! 11/10 experience would recommend

iBattle is a great place to have fun and play games. Facility is really clean. They have very comfortable gaming chairs and headsets. We had a really memorable night! Looking forward to many more visits!

Great atmosphere to play, good pc?s

it was clean and professional and a great environment. Tech support nearby ready to help if needed. Overall good experience

Came to I-Battle a couple times and it was a fun experience every time. I came with my brothers and we had a blast playing on the PCs available. You can also order munchies while gaming, which is pretty convenient. Fair prices, nice PC setups, and friendly staff! Highly recommend if you and your friends (esports team) want run the PCs in the same room or if you don't own a high-powered PC like me.

Love the set up of the place! Very clean, very high tech and super tidy. The PCs are hella awesome! The workers there are super friendly and very helpful to assist if there are technical problems on the pcs:)

If you like to LAN party with your friends, but hate the process of finding a place to have a LAN party and the hassle of actually setting up you and all of your friends giant PC's. This is the place for you, just come, log on to your steam or whatever, play games on their ridiculously powerful PCs that are already set up. Buy some snacks from the front, chill with your friends. It's a great time!

Really really love the idea of this and that is near the H Mart. Also, it's so easy to get a membership and that it's connected so I can play all of my other games I personally own is even better. Customer service was top-tier and I can't wait to keep on coming back. Hopefully you guys get a chain and DC. If not, I'll still be coming back.??????????????

Front desk guys are super helpful, they keep the computer areas and the bathrooms exceptionally clean. Great place to game!

Actually a great place if you don't have a gaming pc or laptop. Staff was really nice and helpful, so many games I can play that I couldn't afford! Definitely worth it to come back again forever

1.I like it because it's so close to where I live. 2.It is clean and the computer performance is good. 3.The atmosphere is also very nice. 4.It's good because the price is cheap.

Super clean place with an affordable price. Also has respectful and friendly staff. Bought a membership and will come back.

Beautifully designed. Clean and the staff is friendly. Competitive prices. It's a good place to kick back and game.

Good machines, comfy chairs, friendly associates working. Staff is always willing to help solve any issues you may have. Honestly a great place to play and the member benefits are worth the purchase.

IBattle Gaming Center in Centreville is a top spot for an amazing gaming session with the boys! They have a fully loaded fridge of snacks too!!

An amazing place to play games and hang out with friends. Great setups and staff to make the experience even more enjoyable. Easy 5 stars.

I-battle is a fun gaming experience! Their pc?s are top of the line and have a huge library of games to choose from. When my friends from out of town come to visit we always come here. I can even run my twitch stream through obs with their set ups. They have a huge selection of snacks and drinks, and even have accounts for games if you want to try some new ones out. The staff is friendly and helpful and the inside is very clean.

Literally the cleanest and best Gaming arena in Virginia, I moved here last year and just discovered this hidden gem last week and its the best gaming experience I've had in a while, clean Stations fast computers and good prices if you get the membership, on top of that really great staff. Definitely recommended????????????????

This place is amazing to go to when you need somewhere to just chill and relax. Their PCs are amazing and fast and everything is clean and well maintained!

Nice, clean facility. Pc's are up to date. Service is great and easy to navigate between games

It's a great place to hang out with friends and play games. Everything is clean and the staff is super nice. There is a huge variety of snacks and drinks. Its super fun! 10/10 recommend.

My experience was perfect! It had the games I wanted to play, and the computers were very good! So good in fact I could run the highest graphics in fortnite! I love the place and wish to come back anytime soon. :D P.S. My name is Noah Robinson

My first time to i-battle was last night and I had an absolute BLAST. I'm not a regular gamer, but I have my favorite original computer games like Age of Empires and I'm hooked. Makes it even better that this place is clean and comfortable. Looking forward to going back!

I come here almost every other day with a couple of friends. Always have a lot of fun and they have a good selection of snacks as well for a good price.

Honestly a very good place to be at it's affordable if I lived across the street from here I would be here everyday and getting their membership is very much worth it because it brings down their already affordable prices everyone minds their own business and does their own things.

The places is amazing. Been here 3 or 4 times now and every time has been fantastic! It's clean, fun, easy, and super cheap! Also Jakob needs a raise! ASAP!

They make everything u do easy from the start. Setting up a membership doesn't take long at all and they are very helpful with whatever issues u might have. Very patient and a well organized place.

Nice computers, comfy chairs, and good setup. I got to try a game i don't own that i?ve been interested in which was helpful considering it turned out that I did not want it in the end. Def recommend iBattle

I thoroughly enjoy coming here with my girl to game. Amazing gaming systems, the front desk guy(sorry I forgot his name) that is there on weekend afternoons is awesome and friendly, and if there weren't obnoxious kids swearing across the room at stupid games, it'd be perfect. 5 stars overall.

The gaming realm of centreville. Top of the line computers and fast monitors provide a gaming experience like no other. The staff are super nice and will assist you with anything you need. Lifetime memberships for almost half off all prices are only 10 dollars! Why would you not come here?

Great chairs and unlimited options game wise. Great place to unwind and just enjoy ur time alone or with some friends.

Great place for gaming ! Good computers, and clean place

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
