They have turned the Old Cici's into a great establishment. We came with a big party and had a really good time. Heard mixed things about the beer, but mostly more on the positive side. Service was great! Just a few ladies working and they were busting humps, great staff, then owners should be very proud of them! The food in my opinion was good. I didn't care for their pizza crust that much but the pretzels and a few other items we had were really good. They have a few really cool pinball machines whi
Great place to have some very good craft beer and enjoy some arcade games. We stopped in for lunch and discovered a few great beers brewed by this company. The Intermission ArtoberFest was so good, I bought a 4 pack to enjoy more of it later. We had pizza and salad for lunch. The pizza was made in a pizza oven that we could see from our seats at the bar. It was just okay. The salad had fresh ingredients and tasted great. The taproom was spotlessly clean. Everything looked new and well-maintained, including
Intermission Beer Company's new Brewpub & Arcade is fantastic! We live nearby and first heard about Intermission's original location in the Virginia Center Commons area. That was nice, and we really enjoyed their craft beers like the Indiana Was The Dog's Name porter. Then they expanded to the second location over near Green Top, the Brewpub & Arcade, and we tried it out! Just excellent! Large enough for about any size party. Very kid friendly with pinball, skeeball and other arcade games, and tasty food
They have breakfast and coffee so it's a great place to work remotely during the day. I came back In the evening with the hubs to try the wine and ciders. They were great. Perfect place for my beer loving husband and this non-beer loving wife. Great service, food, games and atmosphere and it's a local small business. Cleanest bathrooms ever!
We had to shift our plans for a huge group (50+) at the last minute and Courtney was kind and accommodating when I called to see if they could take us in. The entire staff worked really hard and our whole crew deeply appreciated their efforts. The food and drinks were great, and several people also had fun playing the different games that were available. I cannot adequately express how much our group enjoyed the experience. We will definitely be back!
Went there for the first time and was not disappointed. The staff was super friendly and helpful. All the games were working and fun. Beer was good! We will definitely be back!
Intermission is my go-to spot for incredible craft beer, great people, and the best trivia night around. The beer selection is top-notch, with something for every taste, and the staff makes you feel like family. Whether you're here to test your knowledge or just enjoy a perfect pint, this place never disappoints. I live for Thursday night.
My company held our Christmas Party at Intermission and it was fantastic! Courtney and crew were so extremely accommodating to all the questions and ideas I had. They have a great spot semi-cordoned off that was excellent for a party of 40. Great for standing and sitting. I highly recommend this place for any party needs you may have. There are few places that can so easily cater to both kids and adults having a good time.
The beer was superb. I loved the beer names and pop culture references. We really enjoyed playing games while enjoying our beer.
I love hosting events here. The staff are so easy to work with, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable! I've hosted end of year celebrations for our Richmond ATD chapter and have been to several after work events here we're we've hosted company birthday happy hour or award celebrations here. It's a great casual, fun, environment to mix things up and they have great games to get the engagement going. They are always on my go-to list of venues to have a good time.
I have been to intermission on multiple occasions. The service has always been friendly and professional. I enjoy their different beards as well as their pizza. This morning my wife and two friends went there for brunch. Food was delicious. Service was good. The beers were awesome.
Over all fantastic vibes! They've been adding more food to the menu and everything I've tried has been great! All of their in house brews are top shelf, a taste for every kind of beer drinker. I go for several of their events and the crowd is always friendly and welcoming.
Excellent brews, food and entertainment. Have enjoyed coming to intermission since they opened. Arcade is fun and our daughter loves to play on all the games especially the duck claw game. Highly recommend and cant overstate how Courtney and her staff make this place a special one.
Walk in, sit down and order up! Very nice and very clean with some video games to burn off that barley. Ordering was very efficient with scanning a qr code. Upon ordering the beverages and food was delivered quick. They serve some food which was good for a quick bite. Service is top notch!
We have had great times at Intermission, whether enjoying their beers or canned cocktails to eating their pretzels with beer cheese or salad and flat bread pizza. This place offers families and friends to come together and enjoy a nice atmosphere and also play some arcade games.
Family friendly fun spot for folks in the Atlee area! Definitely a good spot to meet up with friends/family, have a pint, and play some air hockey. Staff was very friendly, quick and responsive. Worth a visit, will be back!
Intermission is our go-to local place. The low key atmosphere is awesome and our kids love the arcade games. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help in drink selections. It's great that they have cider, beer, seltzer, and non alcoholic options.
Great location. Service/staff are great. Beer is pretty good; lots of choices. As far as food, it would be nice if they had a few more choices like some BBQ, nachos, beer pretzels, etc. Game selection is pretty good too.
Great environment and the staff are always so friendly and very welcoming. We love dropping in here on weekends, for good beer and delicious pizza! The arcade is a huge plus for when we bring our kiddo.
Service, food, and drinks were wonderful. Courtney took care of us and did great! Kids even had a good time with arcade games. Will come back for sure.
This is a great place to grab some food and a beer or have an event. We had a birthday party for a 10 year old and everyone loved it! The staff is super friendly and helpful, too! Great food and beer, nice people, and good prices - I definitely recommend this place (and their other location, too!).
Courtney is outstanding. Very attentive and quick to get what you ask. She is very friendly as well. The atmosphere is unmatched, good beers, barcade, good food. Definitely a spot you need to put on your list to visit.
Great all around! Staff is awesome and helpful. Food is delicious. Quick service. Tasty beverages and very delicious breakfast sandwiches! Definitely a good spot to have on your list of fun places to check out in RVA!
Great selection. Bartenders are amazing and nice. The ordering system is so convenient and the prices are on point
Such a great place! The breakfast pizza and tots were delicious. They also have a good selection of NA options. My husband was able to get an NA hoppy option and I was able to get a probiotic cider.
We didn't realize that Intermission did brunch. Pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious, portioned well, and definitely fresh. I also love that brunch goes to 3pm! Bacon rounds?definitely genius!
Intermission definitely has some of the best beer in the area, which is saying something for an area as saturated as Richmond! Unlike a lot of barcade-type places, the owners take a lot of care in keeping the machines clean and running well. And the food is great?totally recommend the breakfast poutine if you are there for brunch!
We have always loved going to Intermission and are so happy they opened the 2nd location. Our son has food allergies and they were able to accommodate his needs. The beer is delicious and the kids had a blast in the arcade.
Pizza is amazing! Perfect topping ratio, crust is perfect. Beer is top notch. Courtney and Justin go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care and having a great time!
The Godzilla pinball machine is the best, definitely my favorite game there, with Skeeball being second. Their original Strawberry Blond beer is outrageously good, though I'm waiting for them to put the Sidekick back on tap soon. The pizzas are, chefs kiss! I've actually been doing their salads a lot recently. The owners and bartenders are fantastic hardworking people and the regulars are the coolest friendliest bunch I know! You deserve a treat, give this place a try!
Great place to hang out with or without the kids! Fun arcade, great drinks, and a nice place to cool off when it's warm with a cold drink.
Fantastic brewery to visit. Excellent beers both beers brewed in house and also guest beers available. Hot and fresh pretzel sticks with amazing beer cheese dip. Delicious pizzas amongst other food items. Also recently added breakfast with amazing pastries and breakfast pizzas and fresh hot and iced coffee. Nice selection of pinball machines and other games make it kid friendly. But above everything are the great owners and staff! The hospitality and the friendliness stand out. Highly recommended!
Wow! What a wonderful place to enjoy a beer and arcade games. Love to sit at the bar but plenty of tables for a bigger group. Lots of TVs so finding the game you want to follow is easy. If you don't see it on the screen, just ask. The owners are very accommodating. Pizza, wings, pretzels, tots and salad are all very tasty. Great spot to relax!
Amazing customer service! We brought the family for a nice afternoon out. We enjoyed the blackberry cider and american lager, which were both fantastic. The pizza was delicious and the chicken tenders and tator tots were perfectly seasoned. We will definately be back!
Service was great! Very family friendly atmosphere! Great beers for the adults and lots of fun games for the kids, we will be back
Great place for a cup of coffee, bite to eat, beer to drink and/or place to chat! 10/10 would recommend checking them out at any hour for a great place to hang out.
This is a great place where both kids and adults can have fun. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is great. If you haven't been here you're missing out. Plus the beer is really good!
There's a brew for everyone here, from the light and fruity to the dark and hearty. I've been visiting regularly for several years and have consistently found a beverage and snacks to enjoy!
My favorite spot. Amazing food! Great drink selection. Love the vibe and atmosphere. Courtney is amazing!!!
Wonderful microbrewery. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The beer is excellent and the atmosphere is eclectic.
Solid beer selection with a great selection of guest beers, ciders, and wine. Great menu for snacks or a lite meal. Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. The arcade and food menu are both kid friendly! Worth a try if you're nearby!
This place is great. Love taking the kids there to play and grabbing a brew. Wonderful folks working there. Can't recommend more.
Intermission Beer Company is a little gem, it is between Home Depot and Green Top. A truly family friendly vibe. Good beer, awesome flatbread and games galore. If you want a little patio action, they also have a lovely patio with colored umbrellas for a perfect fall afternoon. Dog friendly patio! The staff and owners are awesome! Give Intermission a try!
My favorite brewery, now with even more options! Intermission has expanded and done it right. The larger Arcade location is really well done, with lots of seating options - the bar, regular tables, barrel high-tops, and a communal table running down the middle that's great for a large group or getting to meet new folks. And a number of pinball machines and other games eagerly await your quarters.The new food options are all fantastic - the flatbread and large pizzas are a huge leap forward, and the loaded
Absolutely love this place!! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. They have a great variety of drink selections that are all fantastic! Additionally, the kids can be entertained in the arcade area while the adults enjoy a beverage!
Fantastic coffee, amazing croissant sandwiches for brunch and great owners and service! You can stop by for coffee in the morning or a pitcher of beer and a pizza in the evening while playing games in the arcade. Can't go wrong with half price games from 3-9 on Wednesdays!
Loaded tots and beers were great! Our kid was thoroughly entertained by the arcade while mom and dad got to just sit and enjoy our food and drink. It's a great family atmosphere.
First, let me share that the service was the best that we've gotten in a very long time. You can tell that they care about their customers, their location, the food they put out, and of course, their beer. Second, I was here for the beer. And it did not disappoint. I've been to their other location before, so I tried some new things. I had a West Coast IPA, as well as a Irish Red, and both were gluten reduced. They were phenomenal, and you can find my full reviews on untapped. Third, the food was great! M
I love what they did to the place! Extremely spacious with the kiddos spaced away from the bar. Tons of TVs and games. Oh, and the beer is delicious. They even have seltzer and wine for your companions who don't care for beer. The food is quick and yummy!
Great place to have a beer, snack, and play some skee-ball ! The breakfast pizza is one of our favorites! The staff is always very friendly. I highly recommend!
We love coming here not only for the beer but also the atmosphere. Super fun place to sit at the bar or hang out and play games. Love all of the gluten free/ gluten reduced options. :)
Nice place to get something to eat and a beer at the same time in a relaxed atmosphere. You can play games too!
We love the original location, but we were sooo excited when they opened this second location! So fun to sit at the bar, play games, and enjoy our favorite beer. Love that they have a wide variety of snacks and growing menu.
Courtney and Justin have done it again with awesome hang spot with the barcade. Great beer, great people, great times.
Come see our friends at Intermissio! Great beers, great food, great games, and great company! What are you waiting for?
Beers are amazing, food is incredible. They serve breakfast here so you could spend your whole day here. The arcades are awesome and they have a jukebox which is super cool.
Great beer, good food and outstanding service! really enjoyed or visit.
Stopped in for a quick beer on a Wednesday evening. Cool spot with good beer and friendly staff!
Great beer from their own brewery and others. The best staff!
Staff is always friendly, especially the owner! Great food and drinks!
Great place to grab a beer and something to eat. Pizzas and Tots are great.
This place is definitely on the up and coming for sure. They have just opened up and they are building still, they have a few games and a limited menu right now. But I really feel like that are going to grow and itll be better and better. Food was decent! And everyone was polite. Come and support the business. I'd like to watch it develop into something great!
Love the new location! Games, pizza, beer, wine, and cider. Nice, big space. Great atmosphere. Good selection of beverages. Great food options. Love it all!
Great place. Great beer!
The breakfast pizza is a must- get when you are here! Also enjoyed the tots and coffee. Beer was to go, so I'll be trying that tonight. ??
Fantastic service and great beer. The perfect neighborhood bar
Love popping in here for a breakfast sandwich! Great prices!
Awesome atmosphere and superstar staff. Very knowledgeable in their craft and fun hang out spot. Great food for the price!!!! Can't wait to go back.

Lots of fun, food is really good too!
Enjoyed both a guest tap beer fro Hi-wire and an excellent Intermission IPA. Cool spot! Staff is great too.
Fun relaxed environment with great beer and cider
Great staff, awesome food, good vibes.
Great food, beer, and arcade games! Get the corn dog nuggets on the salad to replace the croutons!!
Beer and arcade games. Good times. Skeeball, pinball, and some arcade games. Beer was decent. Small food menu but good enough
friendly atmosphere and delicious beer!
Great place for hanging out or bringing the family.
Went for brunch with a friend. Attentive staff and good food makes this a place to possibly return to in the future

Great kid friendly joint
Great pizza, great beer, very family friendly!
Great food and service!
Pizza is amazing and beer equally as 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.
