Customer Reviews

The funnest karaoke in town, every Friday Saturday and Monday! Mr. Maxwell is a scholar and an excellent host. Laidback and a chill atmosphere, everyone fits in. Watch out for a girl who goes by Jumper Cables.

Stumbled across this place on a day trip in Morgantown. We only came for the pinball but there were TONS of other games. Everything from ski-ball, racers, shooters, guitar hero, basketball, old school arcade and more. Pool tables, 2 full bars, awesome deals. Pinball machines were all in working order with no issues other than one light in the backsplash of Metallica but that doesn't affect actual game play. Roughly 10 or so machines which was great, too. You purchase a card and load it with cash or card. Mu

We were down in Morgantown for a mini vacation at GeoWoodstock. Somebody at the wharf mentioned coming to this place. The wife was trying to find things for the family to do while in the area for four days and this was one of them. We are so glad that we came and checked out this awesome place! They have three levels of arcade machines! And if you love craft beer, you are going to love the 54 taps they have with a very unique selection. The kids really loved this place and we really enjoyed ourselves. I was

Great bar, reasonably priced games and drinks. This place has a great nightlife atmosphere. A good mix of new and retro machines. We went on a karaoke night which was fun. The only problem I had was with the bathrooms, the men?s room did not have a door, and women?s stalls only had saloon style doors that did not lock. Which was a little strange for an arcade where kids are present. Other than that, great experience!

Great location for a gaming night. Set up mostly for adults, especially at nights. They feature and a bar and bar foods. Loved the nachos and pizza. You can rent the downstairs for private events. They do karaoke some nights.

Levels Arcade Bar is a hidden gem in downtown Morgantown that nails the balance between nostalgic fun and modern nightlife. Spread across three vibrant floors, the space is packed with everything from retro arcade classics and pinball to duckpin bowling, VR games, and pool tables. It's the kind of place where you can relive your childhood one minute and sip a craft cocktail the next. The beer list is impressive, with nearly 50 rotating taps and a cocktail menu that goes beyond the basics. Food hits the spo

Good food, management is top notch, they have an awesome 3 level arcade, hence the name Levels. 48 different beers on tap. They have 2 bars, pool tables, old school pinball machines, they have it all. I would recommend this place for family fun or for a night of drunken revelry. Great spot!

Even tho it's a once a week venture, levels is my relief zone. I express every Monday my vocals to be shared and loved by many. Definitely bring your friends and family for oodles of fun!

Great place had a lot of fun but the bathrooms are crazy. The saloon doors on the women?s stalls don't lock and you can see into the men?s room and them using the urinals. They could definitely benefit from a few changes in the restroom.

We had a blast here! Awesome place for kids birthday parties. The pizza is out of this world and the staff were very nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were having fun ??

Had an absolute blast at Levels Arcade! This place has everything you could ever want in an arcade. The pinball downstairs was so fun?I could have played it all night. The pizza was delicious, and they have an incredible beer selection; I particularly enjoyed the Guinness and Halleck half and halfs.. For sour beer drinkers, they have a fantastic variety on tap. My 10-year-old crushed me in pretty much every game except pinball. We had a great time together ?? I can't wait to come back to Levels Arcade. High

What an interesting place tucked away in the heart of Morgantown. Came up with my step dad for the Pitt game and we had such a good time playing the bowling and having drinks while we watched all the nfl games on the many tvs they have spanning the entire place. Oh and to top it off they shocked us stupid at how banging the tacos were. Someone said the pizza was just as good but we only had the tacos and loved them.

Levels Arcade has what your children are looking for in Morgantown! We take the kids and their friends and they really enjoy the 3 floors of games. From pinball to VR, refreshments, and birthday parties, Levels Arcade has it all.

Great atmosphere. Pizza is excellent. Awesome selection of beer. Customer service is top notch. Had a little hiccup with a game but Rob took care of it promptly and made up for any inconvenience. Top notch!

We went on a 10 dollar all day play event the day before New Years and had a blast with out grandson. I have been there before -and spent much more. It's a nice arcade. Don't miss the upper amd lower levels!

Have had two kids birthdays there and it is a blast for everyone. Adults can take advantage of the full har while the kids have a great time going from floor to floor playing arcade games

Had a great time at Levels. Excellent mix of newer and classic games. Loved the Buffalo chicken pizza! Large selection of beers on tap. Super friendly staff made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Great place to play every type of arcade you would want to play. Really love the bowling game upstairs, could play it all night long. Love their pizza.

Love coming here with my friends! We always have a blast and the atmosphere is so fun. The staff is super friendly and the drinks are some of the best in Morgantown. The food is also a plus? always amazing! Highly recommend for all ages!

The craft beer selection is great. I haven't had the food since the change in ownership but the pizza was amazing in January 2023. The new owners took out a ton of games and have a janky bowling game upstairs now. They also now charge cover for free play. That never happened when it was Starport. It's good enough I suppose.

Great place for a kids birthday party! Staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. Games are super fun. Only complaint is some games seem to be rather high priced but had a blast despite. Definitely recommend!

Fun for everyone! Vintage arcade games, new arcade games, pinball, air hockey, pool, pop-a-shot and duckpin bowling among other things. Three different floors of games. Games work via a pay card you purchase from a machine when you first walk in. You can purchase with either cash or credit and the card can be reloaded or store credits for next time. Seems to be relatively fair pricing. Large amount of taps for beer and several different cocktails. Pretty decent food menu also.

Great place to go in Morgantown for all ages and families. They have all brand new games that are awesome to play. The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. Great cocktails at great prices and biggest draft selection I've ever seen. The food is great have to try the nachos and pizza ??

This place is a banger, and I know bangers. Very cool selection of games if you like retro or newer stuff they have something for everyone. Great for birthday parties for all ages and the pizza is a must have!

The food is great and the management is as well, but the biggest thing that makes this place the best arcade is the games. There are a lot of different games available, and there are a notable amount of them that I've never seen at any other arcade before. The games themselves are fun, and all of them are very clean and in great condition. The games are switched out fairly frequently as well, so there is always something new to try every time you visit Another great thing is the ticket payout the games hav

Great place to have fun with friends or even by yourself! Lots of game options and a great beer selection.

Popped in Sunday afternoon and was so disappointed with this place. $1.50 to play a game of ski ball? Absolutely bananas. It's an interesting novelty, and I want to appreciate it for being that. I just don't see myself ever stepping foot in it again.

Coolest bar in town! Family friendly before 8 and such a great staff! The food is great too! Don't sleep on this place! The owners really care too. They put a lot of effort into making the atmosphere of this place welcoming and fun!

I appreciate this place so much. it's a blast, and they're the only worthwhile arcade around. High quality combination of new and nostalgic arcade fun. Big thanks to the owner(s) for keeping arcades alive around here!

We are new to Morgantown and this is one of the first places we went. Was super fun and have three floors of games to choose from as well as a good selection of beer.

We had our son's 11th birthday party at Levels! It was fantastic. Great staff, pizza was wonderful, and the kids had a blast.

Drove up for the Pitt game and decided to check some local places out. Had a blast playing both old school and new games. Drinks were very reasonable. Bartender was super sweet. Will make this a regular stop

It's ok at best had back to back issues with Machines seem like a sketchy business I don't not recommend

One of my favorite places to hangout in Morgantown! Drinks are amazing, huge beer selection and the pizza is one of the best in Morgantown. Great staff and owners!

Great service. Lots of games to play. Everyone is super cool to talk with.

Arcade on first and second floors, basement is an incredible bar

Always fun filled with new games, sweet prizes, tasty food, and a great staff. Levels is the perfect place to take friends or family, for any occasion.

Great place! Great Staff! Love every part of it! Fairly priced with a full kitchen and a full bar! Take the family during the day and bring your date and friends at night!

Really fun place to kill a few hours in town. Looked very clean and kept up, 40+ beers on tap. Would recommend for date night, friends.

Levels has a cool racecar game that shakes you all around until your wallet falls out of your pocket! Conveniently, none of the cameras are pointed at that machine! I called the police, and the owner, reassured me that nothing could be done. This place is a racket. Beware. Just to let you know I'm a 33-year-old man with a brain injury.

5 stars because it's the only place in Morgantown to play pinball with brand new machines. Wish they were Stern Insider connected, but beggars can't be choosers! Thanks for having 3 of the top pins in the world!

Great place! Super friendly staff and fun games! The bouncers are cool dudes as well!

Plenty to do for the kiddos and after I believe 9 pm it's adults only. Great drinks and atmosphere, and location is prime with a parking garage REALLY close by. 10/10

We had a great time playing lots of different games. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back!! Perfect for all ages!!

This place has it all. Great games, huge selection on tap and good food. Staff is awesome.

Easily one of the nicest environments I've been to in Morgantown. Sweet people who take care of their guests to ensure a great experience

This place was terrible, along with all the service. The girl bartender I had was one of the most uptight ppl I have ever talked to in my life. She should be fired

My kiddos and I go here quite often, they love it and their pizza. Definitely worth checking out!

Great bar, best pizza in Morgantown! Chocolate pretzel shots are a must have!

Man this place is the best???? great place, atomosphere is tremendous and welcoming and the staff are super friendly and accommodating! Looking to have a great time this is definitely a go to????

Best beer selection in Morgantown, great games, great staff, and that bartender Morgan is a baddie.

Not good me and some guys went here and got drinks def over priced I like starport better place seems like it's ran poorly maybe for a quick buck

Amazing place and staff! Food is great and a bunch of fun games!

What a cool place! No cruddy beat up second rate machines here! This place is the real deal!

Wings are hot, bartenders are hotter. 5 stars.

Awesome place - Bartenders and staff and great

Levels steps it's game up every time I go there!

Amazing bartenders and AMAZING DRINKS. ??

Great place for the kids and fun parents.

Rude staff, and most of the games are broken

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.”
