My Nephews & I love this Place! It has something for everyone! Kids and adults with an inner child will absolutely enjoy every single moment especially the throwback games at the bar very nostalgic! From the games to the drinks and reasonably priced food that is very delicious! We love the wings and pizza. There's something for everyone. They also host the best parties! I also luv the fact that The owner was there working hard to ensure everyone was happy and safe!
Randomly found this place did not know it existed! Brought my boyfriend for his birthday because it looked like it would be fun. We ended up having a great night. A bit different from what we were expecting in terms of (laser tag bumper cars - this isn't the traditional style you'd expect ) but we had a blast with the Large arcade, pool tables, bar, and bar food. Both the staff were so friendly I didn't get the man's name but the woman was nani. Would recommend this for adults as well as children. There
Ive been to hundreds of arcades but this one is DIFFERENT! Im shocked a place like this exists in this area. UNBELIEVABLE value. The staff went above and beyond to make my experience well beyond excellent
Awesome venue! Amazing employees that were able to handle all of our party needs. All of our guests had a great time. Highly recommend!
Went to platinum gaming bar and lounge. It was a quiet day but me and the kids had a blast. Great prices, winnable prizes and Nani was a great host. She let us know about different and impressive events and services they provide and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely revisit.
It's a weekly/weekend getaway of fun for me and my daughter. It reminds me of the fun I had in arcades growing up. There's numerous things to do there outside of just playing games which is double clutch like Kobe. The hospitality there is top tier for me and mine when we're there. PCG for the win!
I visits there today, and got the $25 free play cards, I was disappointed when didn't realize they were only for an hour. I go to a lot of local arcades, as it is a lot of fun for my family. The place had some genuinely cool and fun arcade games, but I was a bit bothered by the many empty cocktail glasses and empty alcohol cans that were carelessly left all over the place which was a big red flag for me. The place was in rough shape and a lot of the other activities looked pretty sketchy. The ?smash room? h
I had an amazing birthday party for my son over the past weekend. My mind is blown by the staff at Platinum City Gaming and all of the accommodations they were able to give us. We had a blast and will definitely be back next year for the next party. The games, the food and the staff were worth every penny! Would definitely recommend, 10/10! So much for the kiddos to do! They were entertained the entire time!
We had my child?s birthday party at Platinum City Gaming yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and fun for the kids. The game consoles kept them entertained for hours! The highlight of the party was definitely the laser tag. The kids couldn't stop talking about it afterward. It was high-energy, exciting, and a great way for them to burn off some energy. The staff were super helpful and friendly, making sure everything ran smoothly. I will be going agai
Very disappointed. 100% unsatisfied. I was offered less than half of my money back. My 12 year old son was expecting to play on gaming consoles with his friends together, they were not set up in a timely fashion for them to play on, some of the consoles needed system updates to wait for, others they couldn't play without logging into an account or waiting for controllers to be brought over or consoles to be brought into the room. My son choose nerf as his game of choice and were told their guns stick a lot,
Absolutely loved my experience at Platinum City Gaming. The atmosphere is unbeatable?cool, laid-back vibe with the perfect mix of old-school arcade games and modern craft beers. The selection of games was awesome, offering a variety of classics and new favorites, and everything was in top-notch condition. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making excellent drink recommendations. Plus, they have great food options that pair perfectly with a night of gaming. Whether you're coming to relive your childh
Great place for drinks and love the pizza . What an amazing time at Platinum City Gaming! Wow ? I had their green tea shot and it was honestly one of the best in the city. If you're looking for great vibes and even better drinks, you've got to check this place out. Highly recommend!
Had my sons 13th birthday party there today and let me just say that every single kiddo who attended had a blast! Not only did the kiddos have a blast but so did my self and my husband! Nina was our host and she was the absolute BEST! She took care of us so well, her bubbly personality was on point! We had a great time!
Everyone needs to go and experience! I had a blast (air hockey, ?? Smash room, karaoke, pac man, basketball ?? you name it.. Then drinks and rocking music all night long?! All Night ?? All ?.night? long ?? haha it was my first time, I enjoyed myself and taking my friend out for her bday and tap into inner child was a MUST! I will be back this is the perfect date night/ friends night/ family outing or child play dates? I don't have children but toddlers have an entire section for themselves in that place.
Great place. Fun atmosphere, the kids had a blast. The food was wicked good. Freshest burger I've had in a while. Kids loved the pizza. Definitely have to come back again....possibly without the kids so we can try the drinks menu??.
I ordered a Groupon for the Smash room "stressed out for two" and called them and they were able to make an appointment for the day and time I wanted and sent me a confirmation right away which was great. However, today I came with a friend at a little before 4 PM for our appointment and when we got there, there were two people that were ahead of us and going into the smash room first. We waited and waited and waited. Unfortunately, they don't put a time limit on the smash room and the girls were singing a
Rashaud helped me and my boyfriend out, we found a deal online and he was quick to make it work. He made us feel very welcome once we walked and was helpful over the phone. We loved the smash room, we payed for 12 bottles but he gifted us 25. After we also did the $25 for a hour play game card. He recommended it as it was the best choice to get our monies worth. Seems like a great space for families and will definitely be back when we are back in town.
I had high expectations of this place given its ratings/reviews, and I was disappointed. Although friendly, the staff was disorganized and scattered. Smash room was small and all we were given to smash was beer bottles. The plant splatter room, also small, had limited paints (not in bottles but instead small cups), and the canvases were very small. For the price, I expected more. I don't think I'd go back.
have performed here a couple times now and am always left happy! this place has something for everyone, and its a safe space for artists of all kinds to perform at. shoutout to the owner, he's incredibly helpful
We just had a birthday party for my son who turned 7 at Platinum. This place is awesome and everything was great. You won't be disappointed if you choose Platinum Gaming for your kids birthday parties.
If I could give no stars I would. We went for a birthday party and had to leave part of the way through. The kids couldn't do anything they wanted. First they picked nerf and there wasn't enough working nerf guns for 6 kids to play together. So they switched to laser tag because they had to. The bumper cars weren't working. They had a toddler play area that was dirty and not what it looks like online so we had disappointed kids all around. Then we went into the party room which was small so everyone couldn?
PLATINUM GAMING WITH THE NEW RENOVATIONS WAS ALL THAT!! THE KIDS AND I HAD A BALL PLAYING DODGEBALL AND RIDING THE BUMPER CARS STAFF WAS AMAZING AND EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY AND VERY HELPFUL.... THE PIZZA OOH MAN GOOD PIZZA ?? EVERYTHING WAS FUN COMFORTABLE AND AFFORDABLE DEFINITELY WORTH IT AND WILL BE BACK AGAIN ???? UPDATE : 2025 MY TWINS TURNED 18 AND WE PARTIED AT PLATINUM AGAIN NOT TO MENTION HOW I LOVE GOING THERE EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT FOR KARAOKE AND THE BEST MAMOSAS IN THE NIGHT LIFE IVE EVER HAD DEFI
Had a birthday party here for my son a couple weeks ago. And this was by far the most unorganized party to date . I would never book another party here. Party included : basketball , nerf fight , bumper cars , gaming 1. Gaming: controllers were not charged. Cords too short to reach gamers 2.bumper cars were down ( broken ) 2. Nerf fight took about 30 min to set up guns we're in huge totes (1 out of every 10 worked ) You get no party host . One woman was working and she was bartender , front desk , catered t
The owner is a very cool guy - friendly employees. Fun for kids and even adults. Awesome little basketball court. Very chill vibe - full bar.
was very much looking forward to the smash room. We Were brought into an incredibly small room the only had old beer bottles on a table not at all what one would expect. i'm so annoyed I wanna smash something, but sadly there is no place to do that!
I took my son to Platinum City Gaming during the winter break, they had it all. From old school Nintendo to new virtual reality games. They have a full bar for adults and a play area for younger children that include a bounce house, jumbo size Jenga and Connect Four. My son loved it. We will definitely return in the near future
Took my son here one weekend and we've been back ever since the prices you can't beat the food amazing inside plus the food truck that they got out front definitely five star recommend to anyone cheapest pool around and the vibe and energy from the employees make you feel at home love this place 10/10 recommend
I WENT TO A FRIENDS SONS BIRTHDAY PARTY THIS PAST WEEKEND. THEY HAD TO UPDATE THE XBOXES WHICH TOOK FOREVER. ON TOP OF WAITING THE KIDS WERE JUST SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR EXPERIENCE THEY WILL NOT BE GOING BACK AND I WOULD NEVER BOOK A PARTY HERE FOR MY CHILDRENS PARTY. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
My family and I have been to Platinum City Gaming a few times, but today?s visit was exceptional. Rashaud helped me out with his the new cards work ($25 flat fee for an hour of play). It was awesome, as my sons and I love the claw games. It allowed us to not waste credits trying to get the stuffies we wanted. We will definitely return soon. 10 stars!
Call ahead. I had two bad encounters here consecutive. A three hour early closure and the other arrived mid day to see the sign that they'd return in four hours, returned and found they did not open the doors even after waiting half-n-hour thenafter. The inside has many options for games and fun for all ages. If you can get access I'm sure it would be a jolly time. The staff seemed friendly but I've yet to get there to find when active indoors since I've driven an almost hour out each time to attempt I deci
Great place for all ages I come here all the time and love the service. Also did my daughter party here great place.
Staff was amazing and drinks were good! We had a lot of fun and everyone was so nice. Great place to go for the weekend. . Duck Machine went 95% win rate! We loved it!
absolutely fantastic!! Had birthday party today for my granddaughter and I couldn't have asked for better. Great atmosphere, great service, WONDERFUL PEOPLE and a great price. So convenient...they supply everything except the cake...what more can you ask for. If you have a party you need to schedule....please do it here...you will NOT regret it!!
Amazing owner, amazing customer service, great vibes, definitely a fun place to go visit !! Highly recommended.

Was our first time going to visit pcg. It was a really good time for me the wife and kids. So many games to play and the kids had a really good time. It was reasonably priced for an hour worth of unlimited games. Will be back again soon.
Loved it it was definitely a place both kids and adults can enjoy will definitely be bringing the kiddos again definitely recommend for all ages and everyone who worked there was amazing and super helpful specially the bartender Nani my apologies if I spelt it wrong
10/10. Had my son?s 8th birthday here!! It was an absolute blast. The employees were so nice, answered all questions asked by every kid! Recommend for anyone interested!
I come here to play pool often if you're looking to run tournaments on Wednesdays this is the place to go! If you want to chill, have a drink, and play arcade they have that as well. Can t forget about the smash room! If you had a long day or just went through a nasty break up come take out your anger with bats and breakables??
Great service and staff good prices nice pool tables and tons of other things to keep the whole family busy
Great Place to bring your kids! Need a place to bring them. Look no further. Games? Basketball? Gaming Consoles..
This place was amazing so much fun and so much to do my children enjoyed themselves very family friendly and affordable I will definitely visit again 10/10
I came tonight as part of a networking group and was super impressed. Loved all the games, checked out the smash room and saw their incredible Haunted House too! I definitely recommend coming and bringing your family and friends!
It's a very good place to work nd have fun.. I enjoy myself every time I'm here
First time here with my family and definitely is a awesome place...we had so much fun in the smash room...defectnely will come back worth the 2hr drive I took here.
Me and 2 friends went to Platinum City Gaming for their Smash Room and we had a blast! Amazing staff! Amazing Deals! $3 Beers?! Amazing! Free Pool every Tuesday and Wednesday! Overall such a great experience 10/10 recommend for whatever entertainment you can think of!
This place is really fun, the people here are amazing and the staffs/workers were easy to talk to. They helped me a lot when I had any questions to ask and kept a positive outlook. There is so much to do here, bumper cars, consoles, virtual reality, they literally have everything. 10/10 would recommend for someone to come in for their party or just to hang out and play games.
I love this place I am going back to do karaoke night as soon as I have off please check this place out you all will love it and the food is amazing
This place is such a fun environment for both kids and adults. Also, the service is great!
This was sooooo fun I took my wife to break some stuff in the smash room on a date night and this place definitely exceeded my expectations. Rashad is awesome. He was super helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be going back!!!
Our son had SO MUCH FUN for his 9th birthday party at Platinum City Gaming in Taunton, MA. Over 20 of his friends and classmates attended and had a blast. They played video games, jumped, won prizes, earned rewards, and wanted to stay as long as possible. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We were warmly welcomed by Nonny upon arrival. Nonny and her team were available throughout the entire event. When we asked for more pizza, it was brought out quickly. When we asked for more drinks, within
Smash room delivered! Got to smash bottles and break the bats in. Simple, but effective lol Thanks Nani for the bandage after lol
Perfect place for our 9 year old birthday party. Big family of 6 and we were all playing games, Lazer tag and gaming system are Top notch. Let's go!! See you next week and big thanks to the owner and staff who made this happen.
The rage room was an amazing experience! Got to smash some bottles and a TV!
Amazing staff, great atmosphere, always a good time, come here to play pool all the time, $12 for the table for two people and unlimited plays ain?t a bad deal at all! They got a bar, plenty of games, plenty of things to keep both adults and kids entertained! Cant recommend this place enough!
Honestly best experience ever service is great prices are amazing and staff are always welcoming!!!!
If I could give more stars?I would. Such a fun experience. Great drinks, great prices. Rashaud took great care of our party. Highly suggest the smash room.
What a great place for tournaments and for Birthday Partys there something to do for all ages ! Check Platinum City Gaming out ! They also have great Drink Specials !
The service was quick and friendly! I did the smash room and loved every moment of it!
Rashauad is a good worker and made sure we had fun and enjoyed our time here
Booked Platinum City Gaming for a team building holiday party and it was the BEST choice. Staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, Karaoke and the bumper cars were a highlight for our group, and the food and drinks were 10/10. The team is still talking about the amazing time they had and we can't wait to book our next visit!
Went for a event later in evening, was a cool place with lots of old school games. Staff friendly and we will be going back
My wife and I had a blast here! Did the smash room and some of the arcade games. The VR was really good as well! There was karaoke going as well. Definitely recommend this place
My son had a game card from a previous visit with $40 on it. When we went to use this we were told they changed their systems and the money already paid to this establishment was no longer available on the game card. The owner was very dismissive and offered no solution until I walked out the door and then he finally shouted he would offer me a free game play. Avoid spending money at this establishment that you will not use immediately.
Kids and adults have alot of fun. Birthday was great. The food is delicious. Plenty of games. Bumper cars was fun. Staff is friendly & always helpful & kind. I highly recommend bringing your kids. It's super affordable
Great place for the kids and of course the adults ! Nani was absolutely amazing!
What a wonderful establishment!! I cannot say enough positive things about the owner as well! Friendly environment and staff. Lots to do!! My kiddo had an absolute BLAST yesterday!! Thank you for a great time!
I like pinball, only one there Game of thrones,he said there's more coming
Everything was perfect ! Games were good for all ages ! Love how they check and keep safe for covid the workers were awesome great atmosphere over all for children & ADULT would definitely go again
This place is an absolute gem. I brought my sons 11 yrs and 19 yrs old out to have some fun and was so surprised at all of the amazing things you can do in that place! The staff were so nice and my kids had a ball. Definitely going back with my friends for some adult time because they have that too!!!

Platinum has Great staff and the owner is very nice and accommodating. Check it out- prices are very reasonable compared to other places .Definitely 5 stars!
I can't believe I've lived in Taunton for 10 years and never knew about this place. On top of that, I used to drive by this place ALL THE TIME for work (now I don't) or go to the Dollar Tree which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to it but I figured it was like a video game place for kids and this WHOLE TIME they have a variety of activities to do for adults and kids and they have a smash room that I've always wanted to go to and never been. From the pics that I've seen, it looks like a fun place to be in the T. I'll def
My husband and I had a great time in the smash room! The safety gear was clean, they gave us plenty of bottles, and we had fun using the variety of bats, sledgehammers, and golf clubs to break the bottles. We can't wait to go back!
We booked PCG for our son?s 12th birthday party. The staff was fantastic. Derek ( I believe that was his name) went above and beyond to make sure the birthday boy and all his friends had a blast. We did gelly ball, console gaming and arcade games. There was plenty for the kids to do and have fun. The party room was a perfect size, the pizza they made was delicious. We will ?? be returning for more fun. THANK YOU PLATINUM CITY GAMING!!
Great spot for any type of occasion! Literally they have a little bit of everything for everyone for VR and game counsels to bumper cars and smash room. Came here on a surprise date we started off with the smash room(get to break all types of glass and tvs) got drinks at the bar, then did some VR and finished off with some more drinks?and they also have food!!!
Both of my boys had a great time, it's a great place for varied activities, and the staff were very nice and helpful.
You haven't lived till you play at PCG. Family oriented, helpful, friendly staff ensure you are at home. All the games you want to play at the right price are right here. Even virtual reality. Karaoke every Thursday with the latest hits as well as all the classics, and a forgiving crowd?? And to seal the deal on your party?s night out for less? Absolutely the highest quality most tasty food cooked fresh to order will bring you back to the Fair. For real. Way >way better n fast food joints and pizza for wa
The location was not hard to find and surprisingly not too busy. I was greeted immediately by staff when I walked in the door and got to hear about everything available at this location as well as having any questions answered that came up. They have bumper cars. The area is a little small, but I saw plenty of families go into that area and they were all smiles and laughs. There is half court basketball that can be rented out. Saw several kids who enjoyed letting off energy while playing some 2v2. There
This is a 10 star I wish I could give them more. They are super nice when you go to the bar they're welcoming they make sure you're taken care of. I had a blast. This is the place you wanna bring your kids you want to bring your family you want to bring everybody you have to have so much fun here. And the karaoke was bomb. I've never done karaoke before until then you must go here.
Finding a safe way to celebrate my son and nephew was not easy and scary.. Thank you for providing it and at great prices... Truly enjoyed our time and experience, something to do for all ages. Great customer service and safe place. Oh and seeing staff engaged with the children was GREAT as well.
Love the place brought me back to when I was a kid playing all the Nintendo and and Sega games that I loved. Also the drinks are great. I had my son and step sons birthday party there and the they loved it. The whole family loved it. Great place highly recommend it. ?? ????
We recently celebrated our grandson's 17th birthday there and we all had a really great time !! The food was great, the games were fun and the atmosphere was non stop ? Love this Place they are always changing up the games .
I found the staff to be both friendly and knowledgeable. Where this place really shines is the fact that they host game tournaments and have a huge setup to play random game systems on actual CRTs. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Plus Full Bar . Good collection of retro games. Definitely going back again.
My 9-year old gamer just had his "favorite birthday party ever" at this unique and laid back spot. Bumper cars were a hit with the kids, too. Nice mix of new school and old school games and the staff was very kind and helpful. I'll be back for grown up drinks and pinball!
THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO !!! I celebrated my sons birthday party at Platinum City Gaming few days ago and we all had a blast ! They have so many options to choose from. From bumper cars to basketball court, to gaming systems. The kids including myself and the adults enjoyed ourselves so much. The atmosphere was amazing, so friendly, kind and clean. Definitely a family oriented place. The entire staff was super friendly and very helpful. Very attentive. My son had such a great time on his birthday. They also
Platinum City Gaming is a chill environment to hang out. Be warned if you you don't like glass smashing this is not for you. You can play arcade games, win ducks, do bumper cars, karaoke, play basketball, Having a bad day and need to relief stress they even have a smash room, and of course my favorite thing play pool. I also love the duck machine. Every time I have come I have always got kind and awesome service. I def give this place a 5/5.
Platinum City Gaming is run by an ignorant, lazy man who is more focused on making quick money than building his own brand. He has recently added smash rooms and done so in a dangerous manner. He has customers break dangerous items, toxic items with no warnings. His packages, descriptions, prices, wording and all, are 100% stolen from a neighboring, well established rage room; Just Smash it Avon. As small business owners, it is people like Rashaud and these types of business that are affecting our industry.
We just had my son's 11th Birthday and the service was great! Anita, Mike and their son were great Host. From the time we walked in to the time we departed. They were able to even accommodate the Adults who stayed with their children during party. This place has a great set up, lots of options a exceptional service. We will definitely be back- oh they also mentioned Smash tournament- exciting.
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.”
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
