Went here for the first time today and had a lot of fun. The space isn't huge but there's a good variety of pinball/arcade games to play. There's a station at the entry to purchase your play cards. They have beer on tap (over 20 varieties if I remember correctly) The young woman at the front was super nice and explained everything clearly. I'll definitely go there again!
Super chill and cool laid back 90s themed arcade with self serve beer on the wall . Buy credits to load on to arcade card . Perfect for little party gatherings. super nice staff. Super welcoming and chill vibe. Throw your own little party or check there website out on line for prices on a secured party package.
I am so glad we have something like this in Sonoma County. The last time I went to a place that had such a diverse selection of pinball games was at the Flipper museum in Hungary. The selection of pinball games are really what I like. However there's a good amount of retro arcade games, from Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter to Terminator 2. There's a nice little outdoor seating area where you can chill from the flashing lights and noise. They have an impressive selection of beer, and you can be your own b
Did you know that PLAY is medicine? It's true! Rewind is the place for play. What a gift to the community! The Rewind is my happy place. The games are killer; the owner is present and on point and so friendly; the staff are helpful and fun; the events are a blast! Every time I go to the Rewind, I make a new pal. Did I mention they have a beer wall?! I am so grateful for this gravitational center to my galaxy! ???????
Blast from the past with a few fun new twists. I personally enjoy the vintage pinball over the new flashy ones but there is something for everyone here. I have a warrior's spirit with a huge competitive drive so it absolutely appeals to me we can now make an account, scan a QR code and track our successes on many of these games now. I wish I had more availability in my schedule to basically live here. Also great choice of drinks and snacks. Tons of nearby (walkable) restaurants. Great date night place or co
Best place to play Pinball in Northern California. Great beers, extremely clean and awesome new games. Shout out to Rebecca for being so helpful and kind! We will be back.
How lucky to find such an awesome place close to where I'm staying. Rebecca was extremely welcoming and she was great with chat and nuggets of advice on how to play certain pins. All the pins were in perfect working order so 10/10. Get yourself down there!
All the nostalgia of arcades with some adult beverages for some extra fun. The self serve brew is accessible through the same tap to pay style card that they use for the machines which is such a cool idea! Super excited to see what games they add when they expand later this year and I hope it's more 4 player games ???? although they already have my 2 favorites ninja turtles and the Simpsons
Nostalgic for many visitors. . . Great space, great games, great staff who keep the space super clean (TY!) Self serving beer (and water) was flowing and DJ crushed it ??
I enjoyed myself. Some table tops faster than others. If you play pinball youll understand. Great atmosphere i dont drink but 20 different beers on tap- Yes Sir in deedE.
Very cool and exciting addition to the Barlow! You load a card at the kiosk, minimum is $20, and tap to play. If you want to drink you'll use a separate card to use at the beer wall. For some pours, a full glass ias about $5. Drink as much as you want and you pay for how much you pour.
I love the aesthetic of the place and fun seeing so many different pinball machines. I did have one issue having children around in a place that served mainly acholic beverages in cramped area. It does has ways to prevent children from getting these drinks but overall feels strange be a family friendly bar if that makes any sense. As well feeling more like something older people might enjoy and children to enjoy the flashing colors. So to conclude if you an adult who want drink play pinball and doesn't mind
What a fun place! Perfect arcade experience in my opinion. Only draw back would be that there are never any ciders, but as far as the arcade goes I highly recommend.
Best pinball spot in Sonoma County!! They have great machines that are well maintained. They also have amazing beer selections and fun events
The girls and I decided last minute to hit the town for a fun night out, and the wine arcade did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was amazing? nostalgic, fun, and full of energy. We had an absolute blast.
Fabulous. A fun step back in time. We got to see their Chamber opening with Dragon dancers. It was so much fun. I'm excited to go back. A gew more machines to try.
This place is great! Lots of pinball and some old retro video games too. The beer wall is amazing. If you like to try lots of interesting beers without having to buy a whole pint then this is the place. They rotate beers often. My one complaint is that they always play the music too loud. It's hard to hear or talk to friends. It is uncomfortably loud typically.
Good game selection, all in good working order. Good beer selection too!
I don't drink but I do adore the games here. It feels like Everytime you go to this place they have new games to check out. One of the best places in Sebastopol to place to hang out with friends.
Great place fun games, and the beer self-serve is a brilliant idea.
I would give this 5 stars if they had just a handful more arcade games and a few less pinball machines. Am air hockey machine could go a long way! Great for an hour or two, for sure.
So fun! Mostly pinball. Galaga and super smash are staples and there's a shoot-em-up with a multitude of games inside. You get a card for beer and a card for the arcade. Machines are rotated frequently. Acre pizza is at your disposal.
Fun spot! Laid back. Self-serve taps, good variety of selections - all craft beers, cider, hard seltzer, and hard kombucha. Pinball, old school video arcade games, music, good vibes. Fun for a date night or a friend gathering. You can order food from the restaurants around the Barlow and they deliver it to you. I like the concept!
Trivia was fun. But the unnecessary sexist comment about me and my friend being women was the most disappointing part of our time there. He pointed at us and said "this is where it pays to be a man" during a star wars question. Beyond random. Besides that it was ok. Over priced for drinks, and the games are all basically pinball machines except three. Those were not worth the price either. But two stars for having trivia. Everything else. Yeah ... Now I'm stuck with a game card which I rather not use. But s
I love it here! The beer is good and the staff are friendly. The games are all in great condition, and the restroom is always clean. The music matches the crowd as well.
I went to Rewind today and i was impressed. This is a great place to go play pinball and chill. Adam, the owner, clearly has passion for creating a great experience. There are no cleaner, functional pins, in our county, than in this place. My 14 year old son even commented on how great the pinball flowed on these buttery playfields! I love that this is a arcade that has thought about both kids and adults. I will definitely be coming back regularly! For all those whining about beer prices, its time to stop!
Awesome place. So many cool pinball games as well as classic arcade games. Plus, there is a great selection of tap beers and cider. Fun atmosphere for the whole family. Friday night, dj. Love it.
This place is awesome. Great drinks, great games, great staff. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Ryan remembered my name weeks after I first met him. The owner, Adam, really cares about everyone?s experience. I see him at the arcade all the time chatting with patrons and making sure everything is perfect. This place has a drink selection unlike anything in Sonoma County. The Rewind is a staple among my friend group. I recommend it to everyone.
This place brings me back to 1986 hanging out at the local arcade. This place is amazing.
This place is amazing. I travel 40mins everytime I go and it's always worth it. The pinball machines are all dialed in and rarely have any issue's going on like other locations ive been to. The beer selection ranges from a large variety. Good people and always a good time. Prime location at the barlow. Highly Recommend
Saw all of the 5 star reviews and had to chime in. I went on Sunday for the first time and thought it was overall great but there was room for improvement. First of all while the self serve beer system was nice it was very expensive. The beers I tried were 75 cents an ounce so for a full pint that's $12 a beer. Some beers were more expensive. Second the pinball machine to everything other game ratio was too high. Pinball is great but they could really use more multiplayer games like a sit down racing game.
Wow! Great lineup of pinball machines and arcade games. They use a card and tap system to play the games that is very simple to use. Sooo much beer on tap and even non alcoholic drinks for people like me! Absolutely worth checking out - sonoma county needed The Rewind!
What a fun place to go. At 58 I have been to an arcade for a long time. It was lots of fun and that had some great beers and ciders to enjoy. Best of both worlds. I will grab some pictures next time.
Clara was very very helpful she showed me everything in the beer section and she also helped me with the pinball section getting a new card and getting a beer card was super helpful with her super good customer service
This place is great for families or adults that like arcade games or pinball. KARAOKE- TUESDAY NIGHT BEER, CIDER & ADULT KAMBUCHA ON TAP. Their tap selection is great. You cannoder pizza from aroundvtheway & they deliver. It's a fun time, highly recommend.
Fun spot with super nice staff. Love the beer wall!
What a gem this place is. Old school stand up arcade where you can pour your own beer with a drink card. I've been there three or four times already. I'm definitely going back.
I'm a pinball noob, but I've been playing regularly since Rewind opened. So fun and challenging! Ask Adam to teach you a thing or two if you're new to pinball, he's knowledgeable and generous with his time
We're obsessed! Great machines in great shape. And beer tap by oz is an unexpected awesome surprise!!
The Mario cabinet was 100 decibels louder than it needed to be, but nothing could drown out the sounds of joy from the rest of the arcade. Great place to hit in the afternoon for some downtime. (It could use a good classic pinball machine without one of them fancy led screens, however.)
It was a cool place to hang out Beer is kind of pricy though
I had a great time and they serve beer ??
So pumped the North Bay has its own local arcade bar, and in the most perfect location at the Barlow! All of their arcade and pinball machines use a tap card system. You can prepay at the machine by the front door to load up credits. The more credits you buy, the cheaper they are per unit. That makes it easy if you just want to spend a specific amount, or if you maybe want a better deal and would like to play more either with the whole family or across multiple visits. Currently, The Rewind is all ages unt
Phenomenal place for game and pinball lovers. You can tell the venue was crafted with care by someone who wants everyone to have a blast. You must check it out!
Good concepts on money handling and tbeset up. Great games, new and old. Staff is great, AND beer is on tap. Fun, friendly and comfortable.
Place is awesome ??, lots to play, good drink options. Staff is super helpful and friendly
I love bringing my kids here. Such a great location with a killer retro vibe. Beer, Pizza and arcade games for the win!!!
This place is really cool but being questioned about my service dog is not only illegal but very unprofessional. I was asked ? is he a fully service dog?? That is not even an option. I almost wanted to file an ADA complaint.
This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! This arcade is family friendly and BEST place to hang with all your friends! The detail in everything is spectacular and I can't wait to explore more!!!
Overall a super fun spot! ?? employees and owner are chill and friendly! Drinks and arcade. A fun place to chill & relax B)
Snotty attitude. Turned right back around with my guest.
So much fun for a group night out! I highly recommend visiting here when out with friends or a date. Will come back again!
Fun arcade that we stumbled upon during a night out in the area. Love the pay by ounce beer and the variety of pinball machines!
Amazing place !!!! Great customer service !!! I love the combination of Arcade game ,beer and food !!! ?? This is just the place that Sonoma County needed ??
Fun place Lots of pinball machines. Variety of beers, seltzer & ciders. It's just missing Cruising USA
I love this place. Tons of pinball and self serve beer wall. No kids after 8pm
It's five stars for arcade good size place just needs champagne besides that they have everything else besides mixed drinks for good reasons
Great place. Recommend for any One looking for stress relief I'm here right now after firing someone and I'm t is helpful
Great Arcade with self service Beer wall, pinball and karaoke on Tuesday night.
Fun place to Kareoke and a great selection of self service alcoholic beverages.
Pinball and other arcade games at a good price, and a great collection of rotating beers, plus ciders and seltzers!
Arcade, the Best Christmas Party, this arcade in Northern California is a fun, win win for everyone in the family. Kids love it.
Such a fun place. And shout out to Steven who works here. Such a nice guy and super helpful!
The staff was not the friendliest. I did not enjoy my experience and will probably not be back anytime soon
Lots of fun not too expensive. Lots of beer on tap!
Great pinball, but... $12 for a pint of beer?!?
Fun place great beer
This place was fun and good beer
They've got all the classics from my childhood!
This is great place for friends and family
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, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
