Customer Reviews

Great place! Have many of my favorite pinball machines!!

Favorite spot for me and my boyfriend when we can get out.

Great lineup of well maintained machines.

I love old arcade machines and this place was awesome! All sorts of old pinball machines and the prices weren't too bad. I'd definitely recommend trying out boss chicken as well.

What a great way to spend some time on an afternoon with friends! They have such a great selection of pinball, from new to classic ! If you haven't been there and love pinball, I suggest you get down there and take a look. Enjoy!

So many options, from older cabinets to brand new. Don't need a swipe card to play like everywhere else in town now. Rarely is there anyone else in there late night.

Great range of mostly newer pinball machines. Difficult to find as there's no sign on the marquis, just in the window. Look for Boss' Pizza and Chicken and you're in the right place

Ghostbusters, stranger things, teenage mutant Ninja turtles, star wars, The Black Knight, James Bond, foo fighters, Metallica, Addams family, the simpsons and many many more

Great place to get your pin on

Great place with several fun machines for all ages!

Loved it! Can't wait to bring the kids!

Wow. An amazing array of machines.

Great selection of games!

Lots of different pin balls to play.

Fun pinball destination.

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.”
