Token Game Tavern

Great fun place to distract your mind after a hard work week. Now is time to play hard and have some fun! Driving in this race track definitely brings the inner child in you. Bring your friends and family and enjoy this indoor race track. Trust me, you'll be back for more. Please call ahead to verify kids' ages to race on the track. You also bring your own race helmet. ????? ??

We were staying only one night in Knoxville. We stopped by for dinner and for our two teens to play games. The server was so friendly. I wish I would have caught his name. But, he was charming and so helpful in suggesting good things to try. We absolutely loved the food and drinks. We left all smiles because of the fun and relaxed atmosphere. We can't wait to come back again. It is worth the drive from Ohio.

I went to Token Game Tavern recently and had such a great experience! Token has such a wide variety of games to play and great cocktail and food options as well. I definitely recommend going to Token Game Tavern, and I look forward to visiting again soon!

I absolutely love this place. I come here all the time. I like that they have a wide variety of drinks that are good and interesting, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. Food is basic arcade food. I think the games are really fun and they have a few non-payment options like switch games. The vibes are great and there is a lot of free parking.

Oh Token. What a wonderful place this has been since it first opened up. I've gone countless times, & will continue to give them service. So many delicious drink & food options! Rainbow Road will always be my favorite drink - such a staple!

This is an arcade where they have free console play games and token play games as well as food and drinks. I got the alcoholic Galaxy far away drink which is rum based and has Boba and dry Ice. Will definitely be back again. They open at 4:00 PM.

May the 4th was a GREAT day to visit Token. Our server was dressed like Darth Maul! Lots of fun video games from my youth. Pinball machines, PlayStations, they've got all the goodies!

What a fun place! Easy old-fashioned token based video games, with plenty of pinball. Some great creative drinks, and the food we ordered was good. I am sure we will go back, as it was fairly priced and was a break from the typical evening out.

Started a new job almost two months ago, and the group of friends I made are regulars. Went out with them last night (as is their tradition after inventory) and had a blast! Food was great, drinks were great, and our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She said she was new, but honestly you wouldn't be able to tell, she's great with people and did an amazing job gauging our energy and reciprocating it. I'll definitely be back, both with the group, and with my wife and son!

My wife and I went here a couple weeks ago and it was ok at best. We ordered some nachos that sounded real nice front the menu description but we're not good at all. Seriously lacking everything except the chips, and half of them tasted stale. They have a few decent pinball machines and a golden tee machine that was occupied by the same two guys the whole hour we were there. Most of the older stand up games were in rough shape and not much fun. The joysticks were sloppy and slow to react. It was pretty gros

I love everything about Tokens. Delicious food and amazing drinks. We had a new higher help us fix the pinball machine and she was super friendly. I hope she stays. <3

A great place to hang out in a comfortable and unique spot. As the name suggests the walls are lined with a variety of pinball and arcade games. Whether you're looking for some nostalgia or some friendly competition with your friends then you must visit TGT. The menu boasts a variety of items and if you're there earlier enough they even extend the menu to one of the restaurants close by. Whether you're hungry, thirsty for a cocktail, maybe you're wanting to play Mario Kart on Nintendo 64, or even a boar

Super fun place atmosphere wise. A variety of mocktails which is super nice. The food is WAY overpriced for the quality. I got the adult grilled cheese. It was very dry and did not have much cheese. The cheese was poor quality and not melted fully. Like Sonic tastes better quality cheese wise. It was 80% bread and over $10. I suggest eating before you go. I was super disappointed in the food.

So much fun! The drinks are great and the ole school pinball machines were such a blast!

Too much fun is no such thing! Laughter and good times will always be had. Date night, chilling with friends, chilling with family, solo date....it works for it all!

This was a really enjoyable experience all things considered. My one frustration is that the environment is not really well suited to people playing games together. The music is just a touch too loud and the lighting is just a bit too dim. That being said, the drinks were great and the food available through Bit Burger was on point. If I could do 4.5 stars, I would, but since I don't feel like the place deserves a full 5 stars because of the environmental issue, I will do 4 stars. The board game selection i

This was a very fun spot for lunch. The food was fairly good. I liked that there were kid friendly options. Our server was very kind and had no trouble answering all our questions. There are fun games for everyone here.

We've been there plenty of times but never going back. My daughter was uncomfortable. The service is fine and food is good. There was a group guys there dressed up like feminine cartoon characters hugging and kissing each other. Saw a guy walk out of the girls bathroom. He had a mustache. We were very uncomfortable so we just got our food and left. Not sure what the hell is going on there now lol. Be careful if you have kids and go there

Interesting spot. Family friendly, good service, fun rocking out to good music and old school video games. Played dance dance revolution with my 16 year old and shared a ??. It's loud, a lot going on, but definitely recommend it

This place is amazing ?? We had so much fun and felt like a kid again. They have so many unique drinks and the inside of the place just looks awesome ?? I'd definitely recommend that you go check it out. Kids can come in until 10 or 11 at night then after it's 21 and up.

The food was great (I had a bacon cheeseburger and some fries), but that's not why we came here, let's face it. We came here because I'm a Gen X refugee looking to find whatever link to my feral childhood I can. In this case it was video games and let me tell you, Token's has them! They had more pinball machines than I've seen in one place in AGES. And more importantly, they had several games from my childhood that I never thought I'd see again: Frogger, Robotron, they even had a freakin' Popeye machine!

First time ever visiting this place. Went to celebrate a birthday, and we had a blast! Drinks were awesome!! Highly suggest the Nerds one! ?? They have games to play, including card and table games such as disturbed friends and connect four, arcade games of all kinds, just a LOT to keep u busy! We will definitely be going back!!!

Token is a fun experience all around. The staff is nice. The atmosphere is very nerdy and gamer friendly. The food is classic bar food with a new spin on it. The drinks are delicious.

So fun!!! The food was good, the drinks were awesome their presentation was top notch, (and neither was too expensive), and the service was great!! We will definitely be back!!!

Favorite place to go. Great atmosphere. So much to do, great prices, and great drinks. I have never been to a place where I feel so at home and comfortable than here. ????

Food was old and cold. Service was great, but our guy was stretched. Atmosphere is more for adults than kids. It's dark, loud, and crowded. If that's your thing?great. It wasn't mine. Fair pricing for the arcade games.

This was such a fun little weekend getaway spot! Although it was busy, there are enough games and consoles that we didn't have to wait to play. The food was phenomenal. This place is a must try!

We had never been here before and we had an absolute blast!! Great drinks, a little pricey but to be expected for what it is and we we're ok with it lol. Lots of games we hadn't seen in years and the food is delicious!!! Highly recommend for a fun night out. After 11 pm it is 21 and up only.

Amazing workers and variety of games. However, I will not return to this establishment until player/position 2 on Killer Queen's Gold team gets a functional controller. The button is stuck and the analog stick only moves left. Sucks playing 5v4 down a player. Best game in the place, but heartbreakingly in disrepair for at least a year, likely more. Will return to 5 stars when the Queen gets justice.

I need the person (or people) responsible for instating the Jubeat machine to know that their money and effort was wonderfully well spent. It's imperative for them to know that if all of they have no fans left, I am dead. As long as this machine is installed, you will have a guaranteed customer, at least until I've saved the money to buy one of my own. This machine alone is almost a selling point in itself to the bar, but the regularly awesome service is an obviously welcome addition. This is just a great

Yeah, it's pretty legit. Atmosphere is very laid back especially for those with a bit of nerd sense to them. Cute girls and nice people too!

Place was so busy that I ended up leaving and coming back a couple hours later. Arcade machines are on par for pricing, older machines are cheaper. The food is on par with any other bar food. The drinks have a level of showmanship to them that is rare to find and most of the staff are beyond friendly. This is definitely a place for friends to hang out, chat, and relax. Highly recommend for groups. While it's neat to go solo to explore and meet new people, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Dakota is absolutely amazing and hilarious! Gave us all great drink and food recommendations with the perfect amount of sass. I think our boys fell in love with his glorious mullet.

Just had my mind blown here. We go usually once a week with my kids and get some food let them play games and spend between 50- 100 dollar?s? this time I went by myself and had 1/2 a beer at the bar. The bartender was absolutely rude and seemed angry to be busy. Another customer noticed and jokingly asked me to get her attention and I responded smiling than was a little scared she seemed like she was mad? the, also premature scowl male bartender overhead and asked very confrontationally what I said. I told

When in doubt, we just go here when we want to have fun. ?? Knocked one star off because service is a little rough when it's very busy. Make sure you go and are ready to wait or be patient. Ciabatta bites and Buffalo chicken flat bread are grand. LOVE that they often have our favorite craft beer, Rainbow Sherbet by Prairie. Always have themed events that are fun to go to. Bar seating is best, but you shouldn't hog all the seats if you have a party of more than 2-3 people. Plenty of parking outside in the lo

Fun place! Staff are regularly dressing up a cosplaying during themed nights and carry digital payment systems so service is fairly quick. Arcade and pinball table selection is good for the square footage. A lot of unique mixed cocktail drinks on their menu and they'll deliver food from BitBurger a few doors over yonder, for expanded menu options.

Token is such an amazing place!!! It brings me so much joy. Trivia on Wednesdays is a blast. It's such a great atmosphere and the food and drinks are phenomenal. Everything about Token is awesome and I love that a place like this exists in Knoxville. ??

This is place was pretty cool and I really enjoyed my food and server but.......... the bartender was extremely rude and needs to find a different line of work. She was super rude to kids and my husband and she's lucky it wasn't me or I would have definitely said something. If you don't want to work at a place with children playing games and wondering about tokens for all the games..... and you can't serve alcohol in a professional manner find a new line or business.

Amazing food and atmosphere! We had so much fun here we're already planning our next vacation around going to it. There are awesome nerdy references everywhere, board games, Pinball, arcade games, and instead of sports on the bar TVs it's Mario kart! The delicious cocktails are all nerdy references, and come with strange accompaniments like a rocket popsicle, a chocolate twizzler, or nerds candy.

This place is awesome. It'd every game players dream. There is everything from pin ball to video games. The drinks are novelty and themed. The service is super quick and attentative. This is definitely worth a stop.

Talk about taking you back to the Nostalgia of the 90s! Couldn't have asked for better childhood flashback in this very clean upscale but classic joint. The bartender definitely recommended a couple of drinks (oh so good) and their signature piece is some sort of candy or candied fruit inside of the drinks which makes the perfect combination of Awesomeness! As far as games go in the very front of the TOKEN they have board games and so many to choose from. Around the outer walls there are old school joyst

Awesome time at Token Game Tavern! amazing atmosphere, sweet arcade, awesome games. There are even free Wii and board games! The DDR killed me! ?? (Dance Dance Revolution - not the exact title but similar)

I love this place! I've been going here since they opened. I love bringing new people in and seeing their reaction because of how cool the place is! ??. The food is really good and the drinks are creative and delicious!! Kids are welcome till 11pm!

Great concept and atmosphere. It's awesome that you can order from either Token menu or Bit burger menu. Good service and friendly staff.

We brought some friends from Georgia to Token for lunch while they were in town. We had a great lunch! We all loved the atmosphere and the burgers and food from Bit Burger was delicious as always! My only complaint is that the burgers don't come with a side so it gets a little pricey. I love the 1up burger and tots! It's my favorite! Our kids loved the games. The server was very friendly and made sure to check on us regularly.

We love Token! The atmosphere is so cozy and nerdy, it's a staple for any time guests come in to town and want to hang out. Beyond the games and overall vibe of the place, the food and drinks are phenomenal, the menu goes way beyond bar food, my favorite thing are their brussel sprouts with adult grilled cheese and tomato soup. Definitely recommend the big kid juice box too if you're looking for an alcoholic beverage.

The two redhead bartenders on Friday nights are the best!!!! They are so sweet and make the most delicious drinks!!! I love this place and will be back for sure

Definitely my new go-to place! The bartenders were SO friendly & helpful with the video games because my friend & I were noobs. The vibe was very fun loving & there are so many games in this place, there's something for everyone to play at all times. Literally more fun than any club I've ever been to.

Great smash burgers and neat drinks! Neat atmosphere too!

Awesome drinks and a fun environment. Plenty of games from pinball to ps5 and Xbox games. Great place to go with the family. Definitely would recommend!

Great selection of current pinball games and free play consoles as well as bar and food. Highly recommend

Really cool atmosphere. They had a fighting game tournament happening when I went. A few people playing Magic. A couple of families playing arcade games and pinball. Another cool feature was the T.Vs at the bar. They're hooked up to counsels you can play for free. A fun gamer take on the typical sports you'd see up there at other bars. The food was awesome. Chicago Dogs tasted just like what you'd find in Chicago. Tacos remindes me of the street vendors in Tuscon. I was impressed by the quality. The serv

Good little spot in West Knoxville with a decent amount of arcade cabinets and pinball machines. Some machines were out of commission unfortunately and they didn't really have any shooters which sucked. They have food and drinks but I didn't try any although they do have a good amount of seating available. Definitely need to try their food and drinks next time!

We left almost as soon as we got there because we couldn't figure out what we were supposed to do. We'd never been before, and there were no details on the website as far as what to expect, if it was a coin vs. reloadable card situation, where you got either one... I'm hoh, and for someone like me, it's an accessibility issue. People with hearing or visual issues need to be able to walk into a situation having at least a basic idea what to expect. It wouldn't have done someone like me any good to ask an emp

Great evening out with friends and family. Drinks are a little pricy, but comparable to other bars in the area. I love that they not only have their own food menu, but they also offer a selection from Bit Burger. Everything we tried was fab.

This is a place for people who want to play arcade games. For me, it was much too noisy. Very limited bar food unless you order from next door. Their food was overpriced and not too good.

I've been here twice now, and have really enjoyed both times. The food is great, and comes fast to your table. The staff have costume themes. Video games galore. And loads of pinball. Highly recommend checking this place and seeing if it's your kind of flavor.

The place was really cool, the atmosphere was quite nice although this is more of a place for groups rather than a solo person. Didn't try any food, but the drinks were great! Service could use a little work behind the bar. But I'd reccomend for groups for sure.

Absolutley amazing experience!! Burgers were the best we had ever had, and got to play free mortal combat while waiting for the food. Overall amazing atmosphere and plan to return with friends!

Our go-to group hangout spot on the weekend for grabbing a drink. Fun themed evenings and atmosphere, dozens of pinball machines, arcade cabinets, modern consoles, and board/card games for entertainment. Creative, nerdy drinks at reasonable prices and good service considering how busy it can get at peak hours between 8-10 on the weekend. Highly recommend to people looking for a fun spot for drinks on a date or chill group get-together.

They had awesome Valentine's day drinks ?? and a really good atmosphere, we gad a super nice waitress as well. A great place for cool kats geeks and freaks i would encourage people from all walks of life to go and experience #Tokengametavern

Fun place to hang out and have some drinks. The food we had was yummy! The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

Love this barcade? Lot?s of pinball and other nostalgic stand ups. Have fun and enjoy a wide variety of specialty drinks.

This place is great!!! I've never been to a bar that was more fun. They have a variety of fun drinks, food is good and their are video games all over. They have shelves with board games. We will definitely be back! Definitely check this place out!!

An awesome place to get together for drinks and play. Whether a gamer, nostalgic for your past, or just wanting a spot with great drinks and energy - this place is for you.

This place is amazing. The food is way better than typical bar food. Lots of board games, three tv's with consoles at the bar so you can play games while you're there, and most of the arcade games are 1 to 2 tokens. Would give this place 10 stars of I could.

Personal advice this place is Chuck E Cheese before 10 PM if you don't like drinking alcohol with kids don't come. If place is busy the staff get pretty hateful and yell at you like they are drill sergeants for taking up any space.

Great little place with lots of retro games. We sat at the bar and ate. The food was good (lots of cheese) and the service was as well.

Really great place to relax! The pinball tables are fantastic, the drinks are really well made, and the food is REALLY good for casual eats; There's only one down side. The one thing that keeps it from being 5 stars though are the booth experiences when playing video games on the flat screens. The pair of joycons I got when playing the switch had severe stick drift, and playing the SNES classic, the buttons would stick inside their sockets. If they'd keep regular maintenence on their console controllers,

If your into games and great service come here! The food is so good.

I loved the atmosphere. There were so many fun seating options. The variety of vintage, board & video games we're on point. We had chicken fingers, carnitas nachos and the morning after burger and a few craft cocktails????so yummy. Meghan our server was the sweetest and made our experience. The only thing that was lacking was in the bartender's. Smile once in awhile ladies. I felt like I was either bothering them to order a drink or maybe I wasn't cool enough. Other than that it was great. Looking forwar

Wonderful place. Food was great and has been improving steadily for years now! They have really found a great niche and have consistently provided something more intimate and enjoyable than a "main event" styled entertainment activity! Wide selection of alcohol and fun craft drinks! The walls are lined with classic pinball and standup styled arcade games! The drinks seem thought out and are very tasty and the arcade games and pinball seem well maintained! They also offer console gaming opportunities throug

Such a fun place to stop and play arcade games! We didn't get any food or drinks this time around, but the atmosphere was so fun and the staff were very kind! Highly recommend stopping here if you're looking for something to do in the area!

Love it here. The barbietini is very yummy

Amazing! Love the wait staff they are so sweet! And the drinks are so creative and fun. Definitely try the d20 drinking game! I rolled a natural 1 but it was still pretty great! 10/10 will totally do again!

Token is a great place to game and hang out with friends. I enjoy being able to get a juicy burger and a drink and play like some pinball or smash bros. The staff is friendly and so is the environment.

This is a great place for family and adults or even would be a great first date! There is some free gaming and the pinball machines cost money and will make for a good night with a couple drinks and good company. Staff is amazing and helpful. Food is worth it too.

The place was pretty empty, so we were told to sit wherever we wanted. After we sat ourselves, we had a gentleman come up and tell us the long table we sat at was reserved for 5:30pm. It was 1:45pm. I assured him we would be gone by then. He was polite about it, but don't go up to someone almost 4 hours before you need a table. The atmosphere was themed well and there were multiple retro game machines. We ordered food, and it was brought to us in to go boxes and stapled in a bag. I asked if that was the no

What a blast! Can't wait to go back with friends to play sine games and drink fun cocktails. Also all the people that work their are super nice!

i've stopped in there off and on for 5 years. good experience for playing classic arcade games from 80s/up. food prices are fair, and food is delicious. arcade selection has good variety, smash bros while sitting at the bar is peak level tho

LOVE LOVE LOVE I am from out of town but every time I visit my family I will be coming back!

The food is awesome and the games are great. They have paid games and free games that you can play as well

This place is amazing and worth all of your money. Arcade games all worked and food and drink was great and well priced. Fantastic crowd.

Food is excellent! Enjoy their games. Friendly atmosphere and great customer service

Drinks were amazing, place was fun but a lot of the arcade games were broken in one way or another.

Most of the games are either broken or turned off. Decent food/bar, but if you want to play arcade games, this won't be the place

Good service, lots of games, good drinks and good, pretty clean, easy parking, decently clean bathrooms.

One of the more enjoyable retrocades due to the mix of pinball, modern, classic, and more unique games. Good bar with cocktails, beer (mostly canned/bottles). Food is forgettable.
