Customer Reviews

I had an surely pinnacle-notch revel in at this racing simulator venue. From the instant I walked in, the workforce turned into welcoming, knowledgeable, and really obsessed on motorsports. The simulators themselves have been notably realistic-responsive, immersive, and difficult in the nice way possible. Whether you're a seasoned sim racer or just looking for a amusing and thrilling time out, this place gives you. The interest to element in the setup, the superb system, and the general vibe made it unforge

Loved the vibe of this place and the owners. The sims are high quality too! Nice pricing as well. The community is growing and they also host racing events like endurance racing. Everybody is welcomed no matter your skill. Come out and enjoy yourselves.

Cool, chill vibe! Sims are pristine and had incredible feedback. Really impressive on the realism of the sim. They were great about giving instructions to first time sim drivers and making sure the set up was working great! Added bonus is a really nice watch room for guests.

Best Sim Lounge I've ever been to. They can help cater to all your needs, everyone of all shapes, sizes, and ability levels are welcome here!!

My partner and I decided on a whim to go to this place and we had so much fun! We went later in the night on a Sunday so it was very chill and welcoming. The owners were very kind and explained everything well considering it was only my second time doing SIM racing. I haven't been to any other SIM places in ATX but I'm confident to say I won't need to after such a great time here! Will definitely be making this spot a go to and couldn't recommend this place enough for whatever skill level you are at!

The SIM ATX blew us away. The simulators are top-of-the-line?super realistic handling, immersive visuals, and a true adrenaline rush whether you're a seasoned racer or a total beginner. What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality. Aundre, the owner, was there helping us every step of the way. He made sure everyone felt comfortable, had a great time, and knew how to get the most out of the setup. You're allowed to bring your own food and drinks, which made it perfect for a more personalize

SIM ATX delivers an incredible sim racing experience. The equipment feels top-notch, the wheel's force feedback is precise, the motion rig reacts smoothly to the track, and the added wind effect during driving really takes the immersion to another level. The space is clean, well-organized, and clearly cared for. Aundre is what really sets this place apart. He was welcoming, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He walked us through everything and made sure we had a great time. Can't re

As a lifelong Motorsport fan I'm thrilled that there is a growing business around sim racing? I got to check this place out on a recommendation from a friend and was super impressed with the quality of the rigs and the Motorsport centered race experience. I can't wait to come back with some friends!

Fantastic family outing! The SIMs are top notch - fully immersive experience with motion, wind and sound. Andre, the friendly and professional owner, set us up for practice and made sure we were comfortable before racing. Headsets allow you to talk to your competitors during the competition, which had us all laughing. This was an awesome way to enjoy some friendly competition while honing our racing skills.

Great place to host a company/team building event. Large event space for food to be catered in And BYOP is a great option. First time experiencing a large racing SIM like this. It was definitely fun and worth the trip. The staff was great and very knowledgeable even for a Newbie learning how to play.

SIM ATX was a lovely experience! The rigs are high quality and clearly well maintained. When my girlfriend ran into issues with her rig, Aundre resolved it quickly and good care of us. Will definitely be returning!

The guys at Sim ATX are comprised of some of the most generous, hardworking, enthusiastic people we've met. Their commitment to providing a unique and engaging experience is evident, and we're more than lucky to have them in Austin. If you're into motorsports, or are in an organization/group that revolves around motorsports, this place is well worth a visit.

I went to the Sim ATX with my partner and we both had a great time! The equipment is top-notch and extremely well kept. They also did a great job explaining everything and the guys who run the place are super nice and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back soon!

What an absolutely delightful place. This is SO MUCH FUN!!! As a total beginner, I had the best time here. They were super informative and really kind when I kept making mistakes. Awesome work!!!

Came here with some friends last minute and it was an absolutely blast. Both racing and watching my friends race. Super friendly staff and good vibes all the way around.

I came here with a small group for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had the place to ourselves and had fun racing against each other. The owners were very friendly and helpful and did a great job explaining how it all worked. The simulators are about as close to the real thing you can get. Pretty amazing technology. I will definitely be coming back again and can't wait to try out some different tracks!

As an avid racing fan I looked forward to coming here for over a month and once I finally came my already high excitement levels shot into the atmosphere. Absolutely amazing place for any racing fan!

Lots of fun! Sim setup feels great and can really get good laps and feel of the track.

Team there is quite welcoming and nice- easy to get set up and receptive. Equipment is top notch running AC with full motion. Beats my home moza rig and has me adding products to my cart. Can't wait to be back soon!

This was one of the best experiences I had with sim racing. The people there are very nice and chill. Will definitely go again.

Place is awesome and perfect for a go-to for racing and competing with friends and families ?? highly recommend

I recommend the SIM. Staff was great and even raced with us. They gave us two test races to make sure we understood the cars function. The rigs are fully adjustable

Great guy, the place is clean and has a really cool vibe. The sims are amazing even equipped with fans to blow air for realism. Aundre is always there, and will answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Great place to get some laps in and hang out with like minded people. They run asseta but have iracing as well. Extremely helpful and passionate staff that really want you to have the best experience possible. Been here multiple times already and looking forward to what these guys have planned for the future. Lucky to have a place like this. Keep Austin racing

Sim ATX is already incredible and they are just getting started. Their high-end motion rigs have unmatched adjustability to accommodate everyone from children to offensive linemen. The vibes are immaculate and the staff will have you driving faster immediately with their driving tips and in-game assist adjustments.

Amazing Experience!!!! Never done this SIM racing thing before but it ain't my last. Staff was Amazing and explained everything well. Looking forward to more great memories and experiences here.

Best experience I've had with auto driving software. I'm not very experienced mainly because I'm older and 2D screen i just struggle! even on other sim setups i just have a hard time gauging speed- timing compared to real life track. This was another level. i could actually feel the back end when it would start to rotate. Air in my face felt road surface irregularities force feedback is one thing these rigs are on another level.... really made it feel real! And not just the steering but breaking to

Awesome experience. Second time on a SIM and spent nearly 2 hours straight hot lapping nurburgring. The quality of the setup is great and fully customizable for different builds.

i was here for my brother bday party and i had so much fun. they taught you how to use the sim machine and were super helpful when i got stuck. super fun and would love to come back!

Great experience they are a new company.. Trying to build not only th company but the Sim community. Loved it Haptics were very good

This is the sim center you want to go to. They have fans on every rig to keep you from over heating when racing, each rig is adjustable to suit a variety of heights and arm lengths, and on top of that the owners are there welcoming everyone and are building a community for sim racing. I've been to other facilities in town, and this is the best by far for serious operators (drivers).

Had an amazing time! Great vibes, racing and people. Hands down my new home for sim racing! The rigs are dope, they allow you to truly get the full experience of racing.

Had a blast with my son. Way better than expected. Definitely be doing this again

Very friendly staff and an awesome racing experience at a great price, highly recommend for any racing fans and will definitely be returning!

Best place around for SIM racing! Great time Tuesday night with Whitebelt Racing Academy.

Went here with a couple friends and had a wonderful time. Manager's really friendly, and the simulators were some of the best in Austin!

The whole team is amazing and very welcoming of all skill levels! Definitely a must visit for anyone interested in Sim Racing!

Awesome Rigs, excellent customer service, and great culture. Highly recommend if you're into racing or any kind.

I loved this sim! The worker is really nice and sweet! and the cars felt so real! So it was amazing!

Rigs are really nice, staff is very welcoming, and competition is extremely fun, would definitely recommend for sim racers and first timers

Awesome, so good, sim?s are top notch and the owner is a great guy. Price is right, such a great time.

Super fun first time sim racing experience. The staff was really helpful and supportive of learning and would highly recommend it

Love this place, came and did a sim day with the homies, it was legit, I gotta come back every week now. Staff was great.

Great place to go to. Chill vibes and great people. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Unlike the pretentious people at Oneline who turned me away for disabilities. SIMATX said no problem, we'll set up a custom throttle and brake without need for pedals.

This place is great to start out as a new racer and is always a fun and really chill spot to hang out during your free time.

This place was super sick. Sims are very nice and had no issues, races are very customizable

Hands-down the most fun I've ever had sim-racing. Very affordable too, and amazing people who run it!

Some of the best sim racing setups I've tried. Puts my home rig to shame. Vibe is immaculate, owners are awesome, prices are fair, this place will be my go to for sure.

Great sim racing the sims are very cool and high quality and i had so much fun racing with my friends

WOW!!! This is unlike anything. I came in thinking I was going to ?play a game? but it's so realistic. Great experience and wonder service!

Ultra realistic racing! Super clean!

Let me start by saying, I'm not a huge simulation user, but Sim ATX has just turned me on. This place is pretty cool. The vibe is nice and the staff was legitimately world class with their attention to details and they genuinely care about the user experience. Looks like I found a new hobby thanks to Sim ATX. Yall go check this place out!

The SIM ATX is a fun atmosphere to come solo or in a group. Currently they are open 4-9 Tues, Thur, and Sat, Sun

A New Favorite: The Sim ATX Is Already Hitting the Ground Running! I had an incredible time at The Sim ATX last night! From the moment I walked in, the two owners made the experience seamless. Their warm, hands-on approach ensured that even newcomers like me felt comfortable and confident navigating the simulators. As a bigger guy (6'5" and 300 lbs), I was especially impressed by how adjustable and comfortable the rigs were. It's rare to find a setup that accommodates dainty figures this well, and I was a

Rolled thru the Sim ATX today and this place is legit! The state-of-the art sim rigs, peripherals, and track options blew us away. The friendly, knowledgeable staff answered all of our questions and we even spoke with the owner, Aundre, who was extremely welcoming. Had a great time and highly recommend stopping by!

Fire place to hangout and get some laps in. Great guys run the joint and I always have an amazing experience.

SOOoooo much fun!!! This place is Great, clean, and friendly. Good place to learn too.

Phenomenal atmosphere and even more phenomenal sims. Great to place to get some seat time or just chill!

The rigs are well built, friendly staff, and reasonably priced! I highly recommend!

This place is amazing and everyone is very nice and the gear is outstanding, and I had ton of fun and I would love to go back but the prices are high, to go there one it costs my mom 3-4 hours of work that is my fatal flaw, other than that, it's amazing.

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.”
