First of all we walk in and it says it's open but never does it have anything posted that it's not open to the public. We walk in and we see ppl sitting around a table and some chicks are massaging guys. And then we were told what we were doing there and we said that we were checking it out and they said that they aren't open to the public. They could have posted something that's it not open for the public. It just felt super shady will never go back there again. I would have given this place a zero star bu
Every time I want to go to this place it seems to be closed or it's packed and nobody's allowed to go in because it's closed to a party it l something to that looks like it's a setup business like the FBI's inside doing a sting operation of one of the stores around them and they're just making up a storefront the one time I seen them open the guy help me get my car fixed or he did something to help me out maybe he thinks my broken leash and made it go around my dog like a harness and then it was so long ago
Intimate pool hall and bar. Chill atmosphere. Great place to play pool. Awesome people.
Some Nice Looking Woman Frequent The Vault from what I've Seen..Not Really a gamer and stuff but yeah...Pretty fine woman once and a while for sure.
Relaxed atmosphere, good vibes, friendly staff. Oh yeah and the pool tables are the best I've seen anywhere in town.
Food and service is great I got my Order fast
This place is very "unfriendly" to new people. I came here when there were alot of people here and they told me that I couldn't be here because they were closed even though there were a lot of people here already. Came a second time during there posted hours to get something to eat and the doors were locked. I'm surprised with such unreliability that this place is still open. I honestly wouldn't be surprised of there was a lot of shady stuff going on in here!!
Great pool hall w very good "bar & finger" foods.
Great game, full kitchen, lovely staff
I've bought coins several times now and have had excellent service each time.

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.”
