The Pixel Lab

I can't say enough positive things about this place and the owner Joe. We did a full buyout for a private party on relatively short notice, and they went above and beyond to and make it special. We were able to bring in any food and drink we wanted and The Pixel Lab was nice enough to provide cups, napkins, plates, utensils, tablecloths, ice buckets, and ice. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had and how much they loved the space. It's impossible to get to every game they have in on

The Pixel Lab is definitely still a hidden gem and you should check it out. Has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint! Everything is clean and well maintained, the music is great, the staff and owner are super friendly and you can tell that this is a passion project. The soda machine and free refills is also incredible! 25$ for a day pass is a great deal, you can leave any time to go grab some lunch/dinner and come back any time to play more! They also sell snacks. Great place, we're excited

$25 all day play, yes please. If you want a quick fix, it's $14.50 I think for an hour. Place brings me back with some the games I use to play at the arcades. The joysticks are real smooth and responsive on games like SF2 and Metal Slug. They got booths that can fit 2 or 3 of your friends, with all different consoles. There are also computers with games like Roblox, Rivals, Fall Guy, etc. The guys running the place are really chill too. My son was having difficulty trying to get Roblox to run, and they wer

My first time there to celebrate my granddaughter?s birthday. It was very nice and everyone had a great time. The place was clean, has a great variety of games for everyone to enjoy. I like they have a baby changing table for families who need it. The owner is very nice and interacted with the children and grownups, which was very nice to see. Perfect place for a family day out or to book for a event. Definitely recommend this place.

Hosted my son?s 8th birthday here and it was excellent!! It was so organized and the team was super patient and helpful. They provided everything we needed and all we had to do was bring the food! Definitely recommend!

This place has it all. All the benefits of barrcade minus the loud noise and booze. About 5 large screen booth with good couches for private gaming, multiple custom arcades with custom boards, and a soda bar accessible to everyone. The staff is very helpful and the owner himself will always go out of his way to ensure you are have a great time. Friendliness and professional all the way. Now one con is that certain booths are limited to the system they are connected to. I. E. : not all of them will have a

A neighborhood gem! l had my daughter?s 10th birthday party at The Pixel Lab. It was a blast. Joe & Dieandra were wonderful to work with and really went the extra mile for us. They provided plates, ice buckets, candles, and even had helium for our balloons. Oh, and the arcade is spotless. We will definitely be back soon.

This was the perfect place to entertain my teenage family visitor over the holidays. Pixel Lab holds a huge variety of games new & old, and different consoles. They had a bunch of old-school games on my list too ?? Made for a really fun Friday night w/o having to leave town. The all-day pass was a great deal for three of us. It allows customers to dip out and grab a drink, have a bite, enjoy the neighborhood, and return to continue play. Staff is friendly and helpful:) and they have fun popular candy, snack

What an incredible and magical place! A blast from the past and reminder of the best years as a kid. Joe is so nice, welcoming, and helpful. The games range from super old school to most current, whatever your heart desires you will get to play, and they are also on rotation! I disappeared into the past for 3 hours and I can't wait to be back!

We hosted our 13 year old's birthday party here. It was a blast for all and stress free to plan - they have new and retro games on free play that will keep all ages happy, and are easy to work with. Great soda machine too. Definitely recommend for a party, or to stop by and play any day!

Fun place to hang out with friends and family since it's all ages, you can pay by hour or get the all day pass which I recommend more. Came in for opening day and spent hours here enjoying the various arcade cabinets and consoles hooked up which are all set to free play. The owners are so kind and welcoming which made for great conversation especially about video games. Welcome to Jersey City @pixellabjc on Instagram

Refreshing new safe haven for gamers of all ages in JC downtown. #thepixellab Dive into endless fun at this new all-inclusive arcade! From classic games to the latest tech, there's something for everyone. Perfect for all ages! ???? #FamilyFun #ArcadeAdventure Reminds me of my own youth ????

Took my son and 3 friends there. Neat retro arcade with tons of classics like NBA Jam and Street Fighter we had growing up! Run by really nice guys that clearly have a passion and love gaming. Highly recommend!

Awesome new arcade in the neighborhood!! Y'all have to check this place out. They have a great library of console and PC games you can play and about a dozen arcade cabinets featuring Neo Geo classics, Street Fighter, TMNT, and more. Vibes are immaculate

11/10 experience. Great selection of games both retro and contemporary. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good time.

Had an hour to kill with my cousin and chilled here for an hour. I have nothing bad to say about the place. Excellent selection of games, including a ton of multiplayer console games from all sorts of consoles. Cool classic games on the arcade cabinets as well. Beautiful, clean, fun. Highly recommended.

Had an awesome 8th birthday party here with 18 kids. They all had a great time. The staff was helpful and patient. We will be back for a very reasonable price for a fun day out.

Visited for the very first time yesterday evening and couldn't wait to get on here to say how amazing of a time I had at this retro gaming oasis! When you think of downtown Jersey City arcades, you often right away think of the other place located a few blocks away which you can always count on a good time, but here at The Pixel Lab you are guaranteed to have HOURS of an amazing time from the aestetic to the endless gaming selection via cabinet, console and PC. The typical arcade visit anywhere else is us

Awesome setup. All day fun for a low price. Great for anything from dates, to hanging out with friends, to family entertainment. Game selection destroys anyplace even close.

Great time with a birthday group. Easily accommodated all 9 of us. Attentive staff, everything works, buttons aren't sticky. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had so much fun at The Pixel Lab! So many awesome games to choose from-arcade games, console, or PC. The owners were so nice, attentive and helpful and obviously passionate about what they've created for the JC community! It's apparent that it was a labor of love. Excited to come back and I really liked that you can play any game you want for the amount of time you're there! We definitely recommend checking it out!

Such a cool place for all ages. The owners were so awesome. We had so much fun!!

Attended a 9 year old birthday party here today. Good selection of old arcade games and new multiplayer Nintendo switch, desktop and Xbox games. Kids had a great time.! This could actually be a fun place for a playdate so the kids can play games with their friends without having to be huddled at home, fighting over everything and have a clear end time. They also had a party area tethered off for cake, pizza-time and free unlimited fountain drinks with a complimentary party souvenir cup. A much needed addit

This place is just what Jersey City needs! It's great to spend the day getting lost in all the classics and finding new games to try. Staff can easily make recommendations and are very friendly.

Great place went on Valentine's and played some Mario Cart place was clean and fair pricing I spent 53 bucks and was there from 5 till close

We have finally found a kid and adult friendly arcade in Jersey city. The Pixel Lab offers a huge selection of games, and a friendly staff. Very affordable and fun.

I had loads of fun! worth the trek out to new jersey

Spent an hour as a kid again NBA JAM, Street fighter. If you aren't into bars, come and get away from the everyday life. Eat the some chips, drink a coke, play games. The GTL for us City dwellers.. You wouldn't be disappointed, this I promise.

Simply a fun time, Joe is friendly and helpful. With a lot of consoles and arcades to lose track of time! definitely worth checking out. thank you so much!

Awesome arcade!! I was especially impressed by the selection of console games, but the retro arcade games are great. Would love to see them carry guitar hero some time in the future. I'll definitely be going back

Super cool spot with options of arcade, console, and PC games. The people there were kind and knowledgeable. Looking forward to going back soon. And yes, the soda cobos are fun! :)

This is a really cool spot to play all types of video and arcade games, from the throwback old systems to the newest games and systems. The all day pass is the way to go because once you start playing you won't want to stop.

Fun place with fun games. Fun activity with friends or by yourself. Charges by the hour but if you come after 10 it's half off with free snacks.

The best thing about this business is the staff, no doubt! They are extremely attentive and it's great to have them in our neighborhood. 100% recommend this!!!

Cool place, friendly people. Went with some friends tonight and are excited to go back earlier in the day when we'll have enough time to hang out in the console booths.

Owner was great and very accommodating, great selection of games too

Great place and lots of fun for kids and adults! A must place to be in Jersey city.

Been here twice since they opened!! Awesome place. Great selection of games and love the movies projected in the back.

If was so fun there was ps5 ps4 and old games

Such a gem. Fun arcade games and a whole host of console games to pick from including some older consoles

Really dusty and the employees are kinda rude

Great addition to the neighborhood!
