Customer Reviews

Cool spot for kids to come hang out and play a couple games. Would be a great birthday party venue for Young kids that like gaming maybe ages 6-12... They had old school Pac Man arcade style with the joystick which was awesome for the adults. There's also a little bar in the back with water and energy drinks. Went pretty late at night, around 830pm so we were the only ones in there. Good music and fun decor... and Krove who was operating the place was a super helpful and nice guy. The downstairs has a sofa

I spoke to a male who told me if I was coming I said yes I called at 8pm and got there @830pm and it was CLOSEDDDD!!! Very unprofessional!! my family and I were excited to try something new and to celebrate a late night fun bday Activity!!! SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL!!

Had an amazing experience at the gamers club for my twins 9th birthday party. Staff was attentive to all of our needs and the kids had a blast. Will definitely be going back! Highly recommend!

Just had my sons 12 birthday there it was perfect! From the latest game selections and virtual reality games to the ambience music etc it was perfect. The staff is great too and today we had Steven who was super nice and made the day extra awesome!

What a great environment. Many games to choose from and great for parties. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. My child along with family and friends absolutely love this place. Also a great spot for the big gamers when they need a getaway.

Cool arcade. So much to do, and it's very cheap and a cool activity to do with the kids or bring your girl or guy on date night. thank you guys!!

I rented the both floors for my husband?s 40th birthday. It was perfect! I was able to get in 30 minutes early to set up. They helped bring everything to the bottom floor too. Our guessed ranges in age from 1 year old to 75. Everyone had fun. During the party the attendants were so good helping the younger kids get set up. The 2 hours was done too fast. My only regret is not having an additional hour. Overall this is the perfect place to hold a party for the old and young.

My son and I visit at least once a month. This is one of our favorite places to visit.

Perfect place for a birthday party for gamers! We had our son?s 10th birthday party here and it was a huge success! There were so many gaming options for the kids in a fun environment. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful during the party. Highly recommended for any one into video games!

Loved my time here! My sister and I came here on a rainy day and booked a 4-hr session and VR session. Not only were the prices unexpectedly low, but there were snacks, a huge game library on every console and multiple consoles to choose from. Such a cool vibe in this place too with lighting and decals.There's a small charge to note which is for bringing games downstairs to the larger TVs but it's a small $5 fee for more comfort and the larger screen. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful to younger

This place is VERY clean and well kept. The two guys that were running the place when me and my friend went were very nice and helpful, set up the systems for us and explained the controls. The place is very well decorated, and the LED lighting is very cool. Oh, and there's a TV in the BATHROOM. And it's a singlet bathroom so you have privacy. And the music they were playing was BANGING. We had a lot of fun. Definitely will come back with friends.

An absolute gamers paradise!! ?? Walk-in $20. for 4 hours. Place has snacks and beverages for sale. Air conditioned, clean and great music! I've been twice in 1 week. If your kids are into video games this place is great for them. Fun for all ages if you're into games.

The staff is wonderful. My child had a blast here for there birthday. Would recommend The Gamer club NYC; Great for after school activity & birthday party, or Just to stop by and play games. The prices is very reasonable.

Took our 12 year old and a group of his friends for midday general admission for two hours and they had a blast! Tons of gaming choices, super helpful staff, clean facilities, chill music - we can't wait to go back!

This is a gamers dream! TVs and video games upstairs and downstairs. I had my son?s birthday party here and he loved it! His friends loved it! It was very relaxed, the staff were attentive. Steven was there and whatever I needed, he helped me. Hands down, one of my 11 year old?s best parties and this will be a go to location for the future.

Pretty small place. Parking was nonexistent. Seems like a very seedy area nearby with kids coming in and out acting out of control. Seems like a corner store that was refitted with screens and table to hypnotize kids. Will not be going back to this place ever again.

My boy's and I had the best time ever!!! Clean place great staff and i can't wait till we go back!!

Great place to take your gamer kids on a rainy day. Inexpensive entertainment, very small so you don't have to keep a nervous eye on your kid. Bring a book, you'll actually get to read it! Any difficulty the kids have with the games, there's a helpful young man to immediately help out.

Brought my nephew here for his 9th birthday and we had a blast. The kids played for hours and the games were kid and adult friendly. The staff are amazing. We will definitely be back again and again. My nephew said he wants this to be his reward for good behavior from now on.

This place really felt like a gamers home. I was able to go in and stream while I was there and they were well prepared. They had offered everything I needed such as remotes, headset and etc to make sure I had the best experience. The setup was perfect for me as well having somewhere to place my laptop in front of me and two different charging ports at arm's reach as well to make sure everything was plugged up and running. 10/10 definitely would recommend.

This place is great, I came on a whim because I was curious and hadn't heard of it before but really enjoyed my time. They have a huge selection of titles to play, with all the latest consoles and is a great way to hang out with a friend and play some games. Steven, the staff on duty was super friendly and helped me with everything I needed. Will definitely be back another time with some more friends soon!

My kids love this place! Nice atmosphere! They have a great selection of games. It's the perfect place to drop your kids off to have some fun. The staff is very professional and accommodated to my kids needs well. Thanks a lot Gamer?s Club! You have a loyal customer in me!

This place is awesome. It has everything i needed to do a Lan gaming party and crush all my friends in C.O.D and NBA2K

We hosted my son's 8th birthday at The Gamer's Club and it was FANTASTIC! We had an entire room to ourselves with tons of games to play. Not only was the spot super cool with light up cube chairs and dim lighting, but everything was super clean. Shout out to Steven, who helped me book the party and attended the event, and was warm and helpful every step of the way. HIGHLY recommend The Gamer's Club!

Fantastic place to game, staff is very helpful. The birthday party session was extremely fun and the staff even help us set up the food. This is a great community business to support!

Randomly walked in yesterday and wow mind blown! The employees were all very friendly and fun. The game menu was so perfect I'm so upset that i didn't take any photos but there's always next time for sure... Everything was cleaned i'll never forget about that HUGE tv in the bathroom

Customer rep (Steven) is very rude and talks down to my daughter who is 10 years old and told her not to touch the games back in September 2022 until she pays. We were there looking to give a party there for December 2022. I let that slide and still let her go there because she really liked playing the games there. Today we went back there and she wanted to play the spider man game on the big screen and he lied and said it was not available then I looked at the monitor and no one was on the big screens. The

Wow- such a cool concept! Through a party for my daughter to celebrate her 17th birthday with her bestfriends and they loved it! Topped off with great customer service. Steven + team were awesome!

This place is great! My kids loved the vibes. They have all the gaming consoles and a great variety of games. The employees were very friendly and available at all times. Definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again soon.

Very good place! Super fun to be in also good games! Very cool that they have snack! Very cool place very chilled also! I recommend for them to get more online games that are free! I recommend the game Apex Legend! I would love to see that game there the next time I come by.

Came in today for a 5th birthday party!!!! Steven and Jamal are awesome and very patient and helpful!!! The space is nice and clean. I would love to have an event here in the future. Happy Birthday ZaeZae! ??????????

Awesome place! The staff was very helpful and the environment is very chill. Great selection of games too! Will definitely come back in the future.

I got a membership here a month ago and it was the best I had tons of fun the people there was nice and respectful they even gave me free snacks most of the time I was there. I highly recommend this place if you're trying to have a fun are kill some time.

A creative take on arcades, with all modern day consoles with a small selection of retro games. They have personal booths that allow you to sign into your own account to access your cloud saves and show off your progress in different games to show off to all your friends. You even have the option to bring your own control if you have one. Can't wait til the movie nights and competitions!

This place is a 10/10 , I brought my 6yr old son here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! Also you guys should get dragon ball xenoverse 2 and host a tournament of some sort ;)

The perfect destination for all gamers!!!!!! You can stream online, play with friends, or alone. Great ambiance too. There's a little lounge area downstairs with more games! It's a gamers lounge! My favorite new spot!

Had a great time with some friends and family! Totally worth the time and money!

Awesome place to hang out with friends! Extremely clean and the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to games. I will definitely be coming back.

Had a really great experience. The kids didn't want to leave. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Had such a great time at TheGamersClub. Clean sitting and very nice vibes. Awesome music and great dark place for gaming. Definitely coming back.

Super cool spot for gamers of all ages. If you've ever wanted to visit Japan for games but don't want to travel. This is the spot for you!

This place does not understand the basics of customer service. View people as people and understand human nature. DO NOT RECOMMEND. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED.

I've been there had a really good experience games are really fun and the oculus is really cool. It's just the pricing for one floor that got me

Very nice and small place, went for a party and the party area was ?? and cozy. The attended was very nice and attentive

Place is clean, always a great atmosphere, they have a awesome collection of games ! This is the spot to be at!!!!

Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. If you're a sore loser & rage quit.. stay away. Grow up. Loser.

This is a great place to have fun and get out of the house and still game!!!! Definitely recommend going!

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.”
