Customer Reviews

Their drink selection, from craft beers to bourbons to wines, is top notch! The cocktails are made with great care and quality ingredients. I love being able to bring my own takeout from any of the neighboring restaurants to eat while we hit the skee ball and digital pinball games. Friendly service and a great vibe all around. It's a nice place to bring the kids, or come by after 9pm with some friends when the bar becomes 21+. Definitely our favorite place to grab drinks from when we come through town for a

3.27.2022 Cause i can't give multiple reviews? Another awesome night.Imagine that cheers bar you always wanted to go to. Well here it is! The bartender once again is amazing! But this time around I noticed a guy cleaning every video game after it's use? In the world of covid this is awesome! Awesome meaning this place! What an awesome place run by awesome people! I hope one day they can expand but right now this is a hidden gem no doubt. The drinks are fabulous, you'd think you're on some Island resort wit

Such a unique place with great vibes! The bartender makes fantastic drinks that use high quality liquor and fresh hand pressed juice. Great place for hanging out with your friends after a long week. Count us as regulars!

Fresh, REAL mixed drinks and great beer selection, actual classic arcade games, ski-ball... Bartender will call you out, too. Don't mess with her. Good food (around the corner). Lots of fun and neighborhood faces. Also, Google Maps picture is NOT accurate. This place actually looks cool now, and does NOT resemble the stabby crackscape pictured above. Google, please update picture!

Great drinks options. Top shelf bourbons, and lots of craft beers. Domestics too. Also the fresh squeezed orangeaides are delicious. Skeeball, Pacman, Cruisin, Crazy Taxi, several shooting games, Street fighter, and more vintage arcade games. A good time was had by all.

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.”
