Customer Reviews

Cleaner and much more roomy of all the locations. I have fun here and enjoy the arcade because they move around new games almost every week, so it definitely almost something new to challenge each time I come

Great place to have some coffee and drinks and sing karaoke

Great use of space, respectful staff, cozy atmosphere, excellent stop to relax and play Life of Luxury or Pot-O-Gold on your way home, or nightcap, or relax and chill with friends. I had steak for lunch with friends and it's quite scrumptious. After helping out repurpose a cabinet for arcade fish machine, anything is good I guess. But this one's the real McCoy, medium rare Right-on-the-Money. Then on the way out, saw a friend who asked for a jump and I helped him with his Honda motorbike.

A great place to get to play my favorite digital fish gome. Always a good time .. One of the over all best up scale set up large showroom and a great staff... Tim Harmon....Houston tx.

Do not go to this place not only are all the men inside the facility lazy and don't care to do what they are supposed to be doing they are also a bunch of womanizing jerks. I was in their facility the night before and this guy that had clearly been drinking was intoxicated he had approached me and within a few minutes continued placing his hands on me even though I made several attempts at diffusing the situation he then proceeded to curse me out and pound on the bathroom door threating me and others no one

Most of the staff are great and the place was easy to locate. The inside looks like cool. I would bring my friends there.

I had a great time here and my friends liked it too free beverages and everyone was respectful and well mannered!

The new owner is brightening the place up and adding new attractions. Same great clean space and layout!

Awesome place downright friendly and hospitable definitely going back

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.”
