Great addition to the town. Patrick, the owner, is a pleasure to be around and is one of the most caring and honest people I've had the pleasure of knowing. Great environment and he has put a lot of effort into maintaining and upgrading the bar in his short time being open. I have often brought my three year old son in to play speedball as he has a very family-friendly environment. I fully endorsed this bar and encourage anyone to come in.
Really good bartenders! Enjoyed their complementary popcorn, nice outside patio area to sit out and enjoy the weather!
The owner gives off a creepy vibe. I would certainly not want to bring my wife or daughter here.
I have no idea what some of these clowns are talking about but Patrick?s Arcade is a blessing in Lake Mills. To see someone work so hard to achieve their dreams and make them a reality while providing a fun, safe place for our community is truly admirable. Perhaps they came at a busy time and didn't give it the proper assessment, (or maybe they just had too much to drink before hand and couldn't see things clearly). Patience is a virtue my dears. The world does not revolve around you or your daughter. This
Patrick the owner welcomed us tonight with VIP service and made us feel right at home. This bar is one of a kind and should be a destination to ANYONE visiting Waukesha, Dane, or Jefferson county. He has a lot of patrons, so be patient!!! If you live around the area or have traveled from a distance to enjoy our beautiful state, you will always feel welcome here. A fantastic assortment of classic arcade games makes this place a one of a kind experience. I have lived in Wisconsin my entire life and have yet t
Patrick?s Barcade is a fun and inviting atmosphere with something for everyone. Young and old alike can find find fun at the arcade. Adults can find delicious drinks at the bar? the duck claw machine is a fan favorite for all ages (oh wait, there's two of them!!) Pat does a good job of rotating games, especially considering he hasn't even been open for a year- he already has some food options up! He has the best happy :) hour in town and he has a few happy days (Money Monday & Weiner Wednesday)! This bar is
Great service and atmosphere super chill and the pinball games are super fun will definitely be coming back.
First time here with a first date a couple days back. Intended on playing games but got caught chatting in the booth all night. We ended up getting a free drink and slice of pizza each. Service was good, games looked fun, free popcorn, and a lively crowd. Owner welcomed all and did his best to say thank you to all as they left the door. Best place in town for drinks!
Playing games with a drink and friends. What's more to love with a place?! Lake mills has been missing a place like this for years!
New to town, loved this place when we went on a date night & thought the owner was cool. because of this we wanted to show our friends a good time here when they came to town and we hyped it up. unfortunately when we brought our friends we were treated terribly by bartenders and other patrons (some seemed to be the bartenders friends). although we kept our interactions limited and polite, were told not to come back as we were walking out (not sure by who). There was never a warning or indication from the b
Love, love, love the atmosphere here! I was greeted by the awesome bartenders there who made me feel welcome and drinks came super fast! Service was outstanding and food was great! I can't wait until I am able to go back! I loved the music and danced all night!!!!
Very cool place to hang out with friends. Owner is very personal and friendly. Bathrooms are clean and games were fun to play. Will return.
Such a cool arcade atmosphere! You have all the bar basics you'd hope for - popcorn to snack on, and you can get a hot dog to snack on late-night. Great friendly service, and the town seems to show up so there's a good crowd! We had a great time singing to the juke box, playing games we remember and love, all while relaxing with good cocktails. Definitely going to become regulars- thanks for creating such an awesome space Patrick!
Patrick?s is the best bar in town. Great games. Fun place to hang out.
Great addition to downtown Lake Mills! Good selection of games with reasonable prices across the board. I noticed people leaving bad reviews mainly because they weren't happy with the service. I know Patrick and I know he wouldn't intentionally ignore anyone that was waiting to be served. I feel like a lot of people these days forget how to be patient and can't understand that the world doesn't revolve around them. Keep up the good work Patrick! See you again soon!
Great place and very friendly. Very nice for a town like Lake Mills!
Patrick has built something special. Top notch bartenders, immaculate vibes. A fun and inviting place for everyone.
"Good vibes"? Yeah, no. 5 pinball machines laid out in a nonsensical way, none connected to Stern online. One extra star for having a pinball machine we had never seen before. Unpleasant townie vibe; everyone stared at us when we walked in the place. FYI, gambling machines do not make a place an arcade bar. Telling us you are "out of quarters" instead of simply directing us to the change machine was rude. We played 2 rounds of pinball and left.
Cory lost at darts, but then Cory won. 6 Busch light for 15 bux
Very cool place & bartenders are awesome!
We brought our boys (5, 8) in on a Sunday afternoon for their family arcade time. Our boys had a blast playing games, eating their weight in free popcorn and pizza. This is a no frills place when it comes to food. Which is just fine, but don't expect full kitchen style meals here.
Brought my daughter here for her 21 birthday, owner of the bar was looking at my daughter. She was very uncomfortable and told me how she felt. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!
Just had my 21st here last night and it was so fun! Patrick was doing so well for such a busy night last night. The atmosphere was amazing. Will definitely be going again!!
Solid place to hang out, and play some classic arcade games. At time of reviewing, there was 4-5 pinball machines, ski-ball, Buck Hunter, and a golf game, and a machine that had a ton of the solid classics on it. There's a handful of Midwest bar gambling games as well. I think it would benefit to update some of those gambling games to some more ?arcade? games? Maybe? Patrick is great, free popcorn, and other snacking food as well. Lots of fun. Lake mills has such a growing community of nerdy game loving f
Local atmosphere, always friendly to everyone. Good place for the day, Packer parties, birthday parties, or just a party. Safe place
This is such a fantastic addition to the Town of Lake Mills. Service is on point and the games are so neat. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be going back! I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this business to others.
Waited at least 20 mins while the owner was busy hanging with friends. Shot and drinks with them but pays no attention to other costumers. Considering you yourself rated a 5 star I wonder how real these reviews are. It seems the only 2 bad reviews are people that you don't personally know.
Fun atmosphere, fun games, great drinks! Always a good time!
It's surprisingly fun to play arcade games again after so many years. I felt pretty good with my 49,000 score on skee ball! Well made drinks and a fun environment. Good place to run into friends and hang out.
This is a super unique place if you're looking for a fun time. There's a great assortment the game and they're the only bar in town that has a dart board Patrick is also a great host. And makes you feel at home.
Great spot in Lake Mills to hang out. It has a fun and friendly atmosphere with a great owner and bartender who interacts with his patrons. I definitely recommend frequent visits for those in the Lake Mills area.
Zoe is a great bartender and makes the best old fashioned!
Fun place to hang out with great games and good pricing. It seems a couple of reviewers lack patience and understanding... As with any new business, There will always be kinks to work out over time. It's obvious here though that they care for the customer, And in time this will certainly be a staple of the community.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of great games to play as well. Only downfall is the music is really loud so to talk with friends you have to yell or talk direct into their ear.
Patrick?s is the place to be! Patrick and all of his bartenders (specifically Josie & Zoey) are extremely friendly and welcoming. Darts, Mr/Mrs Pac-Man, Skeeball, 6 different pinball options, and more! :)
Great atmosphere. Patrick is a really nice guy willing to work with a drink recipe I had. Definitely coming back!
Great, fun place to go with so so many arcade games is a must. Service, atmosphere, is outstanding. All beef hotdogs and pizza are very good. If you havent been you need to.
Amazing place to go out, fantastic service and owner! If you're looking for a place to go out I definitely recommend Patrick?s arcade bar to have a great night with friends and family!!!!
This place tops them all great place for a snack and arcade games the owner is a great person as well. Will definitely be back
First time here me and my buddy got here early for a friend thing guy working was super nice place is awesome great lighting lots of games? oh and the popcorn is awesome
5 pinball machines. Fast service. Cold beer. Lots of people on Saturday. It would be nice to have a place to set your beer near the 4 pinball machines in the back while you play.
The atmosphere is awesome and I had a lot of fun. Nice bathrooms and amazing service. Recommend to anyone looking for a good time.
Waited at the bar for 15 min and left after being ignored and watching others who walked up after us being served first. After writing this honest review of my experience..Patrick took it upon himself to inappropriately message me on Fb. Beware.
Had a fabulous time!! Great atmosphere and very upbeat! Patrick is doing his best and will continue to amaze! That's how he rolls ??
Owner is very friendly and service oriented. Drinks are well priced and the games are so much fun.
Amazing staff and fun place to bring the whole family. Good vibes all around!
Easily the greatest bar in town. They always have great food. Always have great music. Always have great service. Never a bad time.
Fun place to be. Big buck hunter & Ski-ball were our favorite. Hat trick on the dart board. All around great service from pat.
Music, atmosphere, and service are top notch!
Fun atmosphere! Friendly owner who loves to take care of customers and chat with everyone. Great addition to downtown Lake Mills!
Best bar ever! We loved Patrick and Mikey too. So super fun here- gotta check it out!
Trash service, bathroom is nasty. Glasses behind the bar were dirty. Rude bartenders. DONT GO HERE
Wonderful place to work, enjoy, and experience! Great atmosphere, attentive, kind and friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend!!
Had a great time playing the games and Patrick was very attentive and friendly. Fun atmosphere and a welcome addition to Lake Mills!

Coolest bar in lake mills! Mike is the best guy here, even recommended a beer to me
It's an amazing place with great games. It's a relaxing and fun place to unwind. Zoey is an amazing bartender.
One bartender on a Friday night. I waited for a while at the bar, but was never served even after trying to wave the bartender down several times. No thanks.
Very towny bar, machines are busted and so is the atmosphere, walked right out

Patrick was great. Friendly atmosphere and great games!
My favorite bar in Wisconsin!
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.”
