Livingston's Amusements

Fun, Fun, Fun! Great place to visit while on vacation in Sarasota. An all around entertainment center with something for everyone. I don't which is best, the Go Karts, Games, Bumper Cars or the Stromboli!

They have a lot of different things to do and the shop is really nice. The only thing is that the kart area isn't that big and the workers aren't friendly. But it is a fun place, especially the Arcade area.

Easy to get to. Lots of fun to have. With a different array of choices of entertainment, it makes for an enjoyable time. Price was good too. We paid $25 for go karts, spin bumpers and arcade.

My young sons are a little bit older now, 14, and 13. We both had a great time. We didn't have any food; however, there were two birthday parties going on at the time and they all ordered food and it all looked really good. My wife really liked all the games as well, as a family we all had a good time. The bathrooms were clean. Again, the bathrooms were spotless! If the bathrooms aren't clean, you know they don't care. This place cares.

A really great place with something for everyone. They have arcade games with lots of prizes to choose from. Great fun for the kids. They also have pool tables and a bar for the adults to enjoy while the kids play arcade games. They do sell food such as pizza, chicken tender baskets, fish baskets etc. So you don't have to go elsewhere to eat and the food prices are decent.

Fun environment! A lot of fun games. The go-carts and bumper cars were fun too! Can't rate the food. We didn't eat there.

Had an amazing experience with me and my family. They have a little of everything there if you want to play pool, arcade or go/bumper carts. Everything is at a good price and not too expensive to go out for the night. Also their prize room is a wonder they have anything u can imagine at reasonable ticket amounts. Finally the staff, the staff are amazing all kind and friendly. At the end of the day it's a must go if you looking for something to do while passing through the area.

This was our first time visiting this place. As you can see we had a good time. The staff was very friendly. They did have bundle packages. So for $25 you get to do two driving experiences and you got money for the games on a gift card. We didn't eat a drink there but we did stay there for about 2-3 hours. They have a few good game selections but he really enjoyed the Modern claw machines. Because it gave you a lot of tokens, If you grab the prize. This is a place I do recommend at least visiting, especiall

Honestly, it was a really fun time here. The go kart operators seem bored but have your safety at priority. The arcade games are super fun but the prizes are a bit expensive. Overall a great way to blow off steam for an hour or two!

Although I'm not happy about them taking away the pool tables behind the bar, I will always love this place. Been coming here since my Dad would take me where it used to be originally. Now they have very much improved, in my opinion, by adding the Go-Karts. I wish they would bring 80's style arcade instead of a chuckecheese feel of games, but other than that, it's still the best hangout for families in Sarasota.

I honestly don't know what took me so long to leave a review. It's been almost two years and I still remember this place fondly, if I'm ever back in Sarasota, you bet I'll be back to Livingston's. The games, music, servers, ambiance were fantastic, the beer was super cold and inexpensive you couldn't beat it. 10/10

Over the past 40 years I have been to a lot of amusement places. I have to admit that most have been Dave and Busters. Like D&B you will need a card to play games and to keep a tally of tickets. This was my first time visiting Livingston's Amusements. The building has two areas designated for arcade style games which is separated by dining tables and a bar area. The front side has games of skill, fun for the whole family. When you play these games you will earn tickets that you can turn in later for priz

It's a Nice concept, however super crowded and pricey, you have to order your food and get it yourself no wait staff or servers which would be okay but for the price you pay stop being so cheap hire some wait staff! It was a fun day for today but probably wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. We had a birthday party and they don't accept reservations which was rough to get a table but we made it work. Game Credits we got 300 for $50.00 which most games took 6-8 credits so about 40 games for $50.00 the ticket s

Very clean and cute place with a little something for everyone of all ages. They have go karts, bumper cars, arcade games, pool tables etc. The pool is reasonable at $15 an hour but the arcade games are a little pricey averaging about $7 a game. But overall a nice little place when you feel like being indoors.

Awesome place to go with the kids. Games were fun, we had a blast on the go karts & the prize room is great!! Food was good & reasonably priced. All of the employees were kind, helpful & professional. There was a lot of pool tables & a nice bar. Would definitely recommend for a weekend night with or without kids!!

It is pricey here for food and drink items but other than that it's great. We played pool in the Royal room which was very nice. There were 3 of us and we had a lot of fun. It's $15 an hour to play.

The arcade is Horribly expensive and its basically children's gambling. 20 dollars gives you a 1 dollar made in Chinese prize. With 20 dollars you can play 10 games more or less almost all the machines are 1 try only. Save the 20 or 40 2 kids?? and go to the movies or buy them a Lego box or 2 maybe. Don't go here its a scam. All of the machines are rigged to give you low % rate

It's a fun place it's not a huge place but it's amazing how easily the kids can avoid you for hours if they want to. Overall well managed and good service.

Our first time here and it was a huge hit with the kids. Every game you can imagine plus go carts and things we didn't even get to see bc they were so excited about all the arcade games. We ended up eating too and my kids loved their burgers, I had a salad with chicken which was pretty good and hubby got wings and apps and said they were all pretty good...bar food, nothing fancy, but not horrible food. We will definitely be back and hopefully we'll get to see everything they have to offer!

Place was great, went with my family of 6 spent $102 was occupied for 2 hours!!! Honestly best ticket prize counter ive ever seen. The worker wasn't the most pleasant, was more interested in her cell phone, as most gen z are, than to assist with our ticket cash in but the prizes we were the hassel. We come to siesta yearly and will be back for sure!!!

Loved the variety of Arcade games! However, I felt it was a tad on the costly side. $22 to ride one 5 minute ride on the Go-carts and the go around. $22 for 10 minutes of your time is a bit to pricey for my liking and the tickets prices shocked me too, but The kids of course loved it. They have interaction games, dancing games, game show games and so much more. Just be prepared with the pocket book and ticket pay out could afford to have a better pay out.

Tried Livingston?s while on vacation for the first time. My 5 year old loves go karts and it is hard to find 2 seater options where he can ride with me at most places. My 2 year old also met the height requirement and was able to ride with my wife. They both enjoyed it. I will say the track is not very big though at all. The guys running the track were very helpful and friendly though. As well as the 2 girls up front where we paid to play. Little over priced in general imo. But kids had fun regardless. The

Absolutely the worst southwestern eggrolls ever. Loaded frys not much better. The table behind me left 3/4 of a pizza. Which was left there for over an hour. I get a family fun place. Yet do better!

Had a great time with my boys tonight Staff was very friendly.The rides were amazing.Definitely will come back.

Its expensive, the service is decent/good. Food quality is average. The reason for review is that nobody told us they do 18% automatic tip. Any place that does that deserves a 1 star, 3 hour 50 min pool, 6/7 drinks, 4 food (for 4 people) cost us 200 usd. Id suggest go there not drinking or eating just to play.

Love this place, been there many times with my brothers uncles child?s nieces nephews son. She and I just loved the place!! Mmm love it here and there and it's are so nice in my own right lol and it's a great spot too I like to sit and eat in my bed when it's nice to eat

Nice time went there for my Friends 60th bday she's a just an amazing kid at heart. Loves to play pool we all had a great time!

Great place to enjoy the evening, lots of arcade machines and pool tables , very clean. We enjoyed with our friends. Will be back!

Best local arcade! Food, drinks, go carts, birthday party specials. Games, games and more games. Reasonably priced. Their prizes are awesome, not crazy over priced like Dave and busters. Open until 2am on weekends. They have pool and overall just A great place to let the kids roam with parents having fun as well. Check it out.

Wow. This place was busy on a Saturday afternoon full of birthday parties and folks just out enjoying the games. No trouble finding a spot at the bar and the food was out quick from the kitchen. I'll come back

It's a fun place it's not a huge place but it's amazing how easily the kids can avoid you for hours if they want to. Overall well managed and good service.

Our family went to ride go karts and play games for Our anniversary. We had a blast. The games were all fair and in working order. The ticket redemption store was clean and well stocked. The go karts were well maintained. The staff was very informative in giving directions and helping guide us. The guys there said they are getting brand new go karts next week, we can't wait to come back and try them out!

What's good about this place is it sells food inside. Very limited selection in the menu but it is sure is better than nothing. The service was not bad either despite the crowd and only one waitress working I believe. The kids enjoyed the arcade and the bumper cars. We are also looking forward to riding the racing Go Karts in the future as the kids didn't pass the minimum height requirements. The place is clean but definitely need to assign someone walking around the place more often to assist customers i

Group outings are highly enjoyable. This venue is also well-suited for birthday celebrations for pre-teens and slightly younger children.

Very good atmosphere pool tables galore and vintage style game room...You will get lost its that big, bring a friend! Very much worth going! French Fry's are a must try here can't go wrong grab a bite here wile the kids play and join in on a game of pool everyone is friendly and the staff is always checking to see if you need anything it's a welcoming place to go and they stay open till 2 a.m.

Everytime we go there we have lots of fun! The gift shop is great! Lots of cool prizes for adults and kids!

Arcade is small and overpriced. Only plus is food/beer is cheap. Most likely won't be back but glad others enjoy it ???????. Oh and arcade prizes??they have an electric reciprocating saw if anyone needs a tool from their winnings???

Great place for Kids and adults who still like to have fun! Wife loves the Deal or no Deal game, go carts, and bumper boats.

Great place for family night out. Fair prices for all the activities and a great variety to keep teenagers entertained.

Both Host were very Friendly & Informative. Awesome Time Riding Go Carts (2 Staff), Shooting Pool (1 Staff) and playing Games (Think 1 Staff) while eating Ordered Food with Family of 7 for approximately $700 Plus US Dollars. Not including Monies spent at JukeBox and Kids Pockets. Would?ve given 5 Stars but the Guy in Gift Shop dampened Mood with Attitude when enforcing Antiquated Rule of ?No Boxed Pizzas in OverPriced Gallery?.. Not sure if he was just trying to get out for the night or just wanted to be

We all really enjoyed our time here. There is a pretty good selection of games to play. They also have non ticket games, go carts, food, and a bar. They have one of the better prize rooms we have found. It has many options for prizes and they have a great range of prizes for a lot to a few tickets. They definitely have our business. I would like to see some promotions or ways to get more game play for they money, but we still had fun.

Definitely not the Livingston's it used to be. Every inch is seedy and crammed with noise. Used to be a fun place to go with family or friends to shoot pool, okay games, maybe have a drink and downtime. Sad to say whoever's in charge has a future vision of dollar signs that's running it into the ground. Sigh....

Great place to play games and have a drink or too. Food has always been amazing. The staff is great and friendly.

Really enjoyed it for a family rainy day activity while staying on Siesta Key. Only improvement I would make is to open a couple of hours earlier during peak summer season for rainy afternoons.

A great place for all ages. We all had a great time. Definitely a good option for all type of entertainment.

This place is always fun. My son enjoys the go carts.

Lot of fun if you have deep pockets. This place has fun things to do but the prices are a bit steep for having multiple children to feed and entertain at once

Friendly and helpful staff. There's a good selection of video games of different level and type and go karts. We've been several times and teenager loves it. I'd also have to say it's not as loud as other video game places.

This is a wonderful place for adult dates and family fun. I love the race karts and the spinning bumper cars. The food is great and reasonably priced. You must try the fried avocados.

Love this place definitely bring money Check out the specials they have online on certain days! Food was definitely Good on point. If you do plan on riding go karts or any activity do not drink before ....they will do a breathalyzer test.

So they breathalyzer you if your trying to race the gocarts. Wife didn't pass. Bar tender was pouring triple shots of Tito's for a double. Definitely like Dave and busters but less. Lots of pool tables $4-6 an hour depending on time and table location. $500 gone in less than an hour.

It's was fun verry expensive go karts are the most fun but for the price and the amount of time you get to ride the costs is not worth it

Oh mylanta did we have a blast! Went just after the new year with my fiancee and our 2 boys (age 12 and 13). Our youngest and I have birthdays that are close, so we decided on having our joint birthday celebration here. My fiancee and the boys have been here before, and I heard good things-but they undersold it! What's great about the cost, is you can choose from many different packages and deals-depending on what games and activities you are after. And there is EVERYTHING! There's arcade style games,

I take my son's to shoot billiards often...good atmosphere, clean. Food very ok quality and expensive.

We had my granddaughters Birthday party here. What a blast. Short and sweet. With plenty of games to play. The go carts and the bumper cars were so much fun!!! The kids had a ball. If you schedule your party on Saturday morning when they open it isn't crowded. Great entertainment !!!! Bring your own cake and balloons. You can order food from the bar.

Pretty cool place. Food is okay, Lots of little arcade and token games to play for the family. They have pool tables that you can get for 1 hour time intervals. The main reason for the 2 stars is that this place is PRICY! If you have kids you'll need a few hundred dollars for the charge cards so the kids can use the arcade and token games. I believe that the price vs time to use the stuff is not very good.

This is a free-to-enter but pay-to-play joint. You can get a card and put money on it to play the multitude of arcade games, some of which I have never seen before. You earn E-tickets on your card from playing games and can buy a number of varying items in a little store with those tickets, ranging from switchblades to posters to coin purse socks. On another note, the food was good and delivered in a timely manner. It wasn't overtly crowded and is a good place for children and adults alike.

It was great me and my family came just a little after 1:30, it was not too crazy, we spent a good 4 hours playing games, playing pool, and racing one another in go-carts. I can say for the whole family we had a blast! As we neared the end of your trip we spent our tickets getting trinkets and some fairly large items

Great place for the kids and adults! Food is reasonably priced. Good deal for 2 go-karts and arcade.

If you're looking for a fun day or evening out with the entire family, Livingston's Amusements is the place to be! This arcade is packed with classic and new games that will bring out your inner child. Let's all be honest, who doesn't love the chance to take home a corny prize from the gift shop? With plenty of parking and a full bar and food menu, you can spend the entire day here without ever getting bored. For the grown ups who want to show off their skills, there's even billiards to play. But let's g

Had a great time. Playing games with the kids for a while. Had a pizza overall a good atmosphere.

They have a bunch of arcade games. They have bazooka ball and go carts. They have a huge full-bar for the parents to sit at and watch over the game floor. Some great food at great prices. Very big area on the inside. Their prizes are actually pretty awesome depending what you're into I'm sure you'll find something in there. This place is definitely a blast for adult or child!

We rode the Go Carts, and it was so much for me and my son. Great way to spend some quality time with my boy.

Took the kids and had a great time. Not expensive. Very good pizza+

I can only review the arcade because I didn't eat any food or try any other amusements. We've been to few different arcades in our time. This one has some really fun games. The virtual bowling and ring toss are some of the best bang for your bucks. There are also games that just lure you in and before you even realize what is going on the game is over. The hammer and boxer games were sadly out of order. They have a decent selection of candy and toys you can trade for your tickets. I deducted a star because

Great places to have your birthday. Our host was amazing, and the customer service was great.

Place was clean, food was okay, games were fun and prizes were actually pretty good, only thing was the staff honestly was rude. Kind of find your own place to sit and eat, have to go to the bar to order.

Great place for kids! Arcade games, ticket games for prizes, go carts & bumber cars. Food is okay for what it is, service is not usually the best, but not the main reason to go. Has full service bar and pool hall as well. We typically skip the ticket games and do the $12 unlimited video games for an hour, and have a pizza.

Lots to do, kids everywhere. If you want to drive the Go-Karts don't drink, they breath test.

Awesome location to bring your kids and family!!! Arcade, pool, go carts and foood!!!

We always love coming here. We did the go-carts for the first time. The track is short but it was really fun. You get 5 minutes to ride around and it flew by. The service at the bar was great. Andrew was really nice and very attentive. We ordered the Magic 8 Ball drink to split between three of us. Tasted like grape soda, ha! This was a huge drink and lasted a long time. The pool tables are really nice, always a fun time to play. The arcade is fun too, geared towards younger kinds but we enjoy air hockey,

Went for the arcade, and the kids had fun. We played the non-ticket winning games unlimited for an hour for $10, which I think is a pretty good deal. Having more of a selection of these would be nice, but definitely kept her occupied for the hour.

Shawn an employee from this place seem to be drunk on the job while I was there he was very aggressive and shouting at people in line at the track.infromed The manager name Troy and he did nothing tried to play it off. Both are very rude and disrespectful. This is by far the worst place I have ever been All my life. Very hurable service. I had to get refund and leave. Did not feel safe. The track has a lot of debris and seem very unkeeped and dangerous. I do not recommend this place.

Good place to go for a night of drinks and playing games. It's like a smaller version of Dave and Buster's. We went pretty late so Go-Karts were closed so I can not rate those. I was surprised at the prize choices for the amount of tickets we earned playing games for two hours, more than what I expected. I think the prices were fair as well so we will definitely go back......

Very fun. Go Karts we're great. For out of town folks this place is like a Dave and Busters.

This place is cool, But seems like a weird mix between a bar and a Chuck-E-Cheese

So much fun. Awesome games. Pool tables. Pizza is actually very tasty. They have Calusa Zote on tap which is the best beer ever! The games are awesome and staff were very nice. Definitely be back.

It is an amazing fun place for adults. Also, children. Our waiter was very friendly. Very helpful was on top of everything when she saw our drinks getting low kept. Coming back and checking and making sure we're OK all the stuff. We're very polite go cards. We're amazing. My daughter love them, and so did I. We'll definitely be coming back with the rest of my kids. I definitely recommend them for families or couples.

I like this place better than the "other" arcade with alcohol. The ticket redemption shop had tons of fun stuff including low ticketed candy for the kids. Lots of fun newer arcade games, 8 pool tables in the all ages area and even more in the no kids allowed section. We had a fun time as a family and will definately be back.

Fun, staff were friendly and it was fairly slow but we got there right when it opened.

The arcade games are okay. The Dance Dance Revoultion step pad barely works. They obviously have not taken care of it at all. Do NOT use your credits on that machine. They do have gluten free pizza which is nice.

They charge way too much for rental on the pool tables. They aren't kept up, and they got rid of the special nights. Like ladies' night, they play free. Men's night, play all night for a flat fee.

Been going for years. It's fun. I don't really do much aside from the games. Gives me and the hubby a chance to play around. Not a lot to do in thus area. There are rarely any pool tables available from 4pm to 10 pm sadly. I loved that they made the people do a breath test to drive the go carts, sure there is a story there. Lol But the games have gotten so expensive. They try really hard to make you ignore the cost. You have to buy a card, then fill it with credits. Then swipe the card for an arbitrary amou

Love this place as a mom and an adult gamer. All the video games you can play for an hour for $12? Awesome. Most all games are partner games so you can play with someone you brought of desired. Fun driving games where the seat moves with you, motorcycle racing games, and several booth surround sound games. All graphics are great. Clean and well cared for. I have brought my son and nephew (early teens) here lots of times, and I took my husband to the arcade on a date--we had an awesome time ??. Food alwa

For once in my lifetime I was actually happy to break down especially next to this place while my car got repaired first time eating bourbon wings I would go back just for that the games go carts made my bad experience a fun one if you're in the area definitely stop bye

Livingston's is a lot of fun for the price. My 7yo loves this place, but they recently changed the rules on the go karts so we were quite disappointed?? but Nick is ALWAYS awesome ??

This place used to be good. Now most of the games are broke or just trash. Save your money and go elsewhere.

just a good time playing pool .no cigarette smoke a big plus.
