Customer Reviews

We enjoyed it here. There are plenty of throwbacks to play for .25 and the pinball machines are great. They even had Ultra Man. I felt like a big kid. The owner was friendly and gave us a few tips game play. I'll definitely go back again.

If you like pinball then this place is for you! Lots of different pinball games to play, as well as Big Buck Hunting and a few others! Well lit and colorful make for a good time no matter your age! Try ULEKSTORE'S today!

A robust and eclectic selection of Pinball machines, new and vintage. The owner, David, keeps all of his machines in top-notch condition and replaces the older machine lights with new LED's and other modern features, while still maintaining the historic and artistic qualities of the machine. All of his Sterns have Insider Connect too! There is even a machine of the month that is half off, costing only 50 cents to play, this month is Elivira's House of Horrors from Stern, 2019. I love this place, it's a quie

This arcade is the best around hands down!!! The gaming is kept to the highest standard and they are constantly updating and repairing all games! If you are ever in the Monroe MI area stop by and drop a few quarters and try your hand at some awesome pinball!!! They also have regular video games!! They normally have pinball tournaments every Saturday see the flyer in the arcade for details!!!!

I visited this place for thefirst time tonight. The place is nice and clean, all the pinball machines work very well, it is one of the most well kept arcades I've been in. I hear the owner is on site at times. I look forward to meeting the owner at some point. You can tell he loves pinball and arcade games, shown by how well the machines are maintained. I'll come back for sure.

My son was so excited to find games here from his current obsession, the movie "Pixels". I'm super impressed as a mom- There are games here you can still play for a quarter, it's clean, and the owner was there to help with the usual arcade game blues (lost quarters). I don't think there is always someone here but that's just an assumption. A number to contact for help is posted though. ??

The games are always clean and run great. Owners are super helpful and sweet!! Love playing pinball here!! Great family place to go or just take some me time to play a few games!

The best collection of pinball machines for miles around and all of them are in great fully functioning condition. Weekend pinball tournaments are a great way to make new friends and meet people. There's also a women's league called Belles and chimes that meets there, kids are welcome, they are trans friendly, and there's a gender neutral restroom nearby in the mall. Can't wait to see what they add when they expand, we love this place!

Lots of cool punball machines, Seems a little steep to charge $1 per game play but what do I know

These pinball machines are kept in amazing shape! Everything plays as it should. I love that the games take quarters, and the old school music videos are perfect for the space. Big fan of this spot!!

Well taken care of location, tlc put into everything there. A+

Not many stores there anymore. I go to bath and body works or the movies. Nothing else I am interested in

The games are in the absolute best condition imaginable. The owners take great pride in this collection of amazing pinball and they host a weekly Saturday tournament. Classics like Gorgar, lost world, to brand new jaws & foo fighters .

We had an hour to spend here and we had a good time. We love pinball machines and they had quite a variety.

One of the best arcades in the state of Michigan. Games are always clean and in great playing condition. The owners are super sweet people and really care for the pinball community

This is a great place to take your date and nerd out. Brings us back to the old days but with all the newer cool machines and some older ones. We had a great time playing the many pinball games they have here. I highly recommend coming here to have a great time.

A huge selection of classic games that you probably haven't seen since the 80s. Pinball machines galore. The best arcade I've ever been to! Can spend a good hour or two there happily.

Really friendly! Mostly newer pinball machine and of course the best of the classics!

The kiddos and I love stopping here when we're at the mall. There is something for everyone's price range. When I was a teenager the arcade at the mall was the place to be on a Friday night. All you're missing is a DDR and concessions. I honestly hope this business grows and continues to become great.

Games are fast and clean, coin changers on site.

Amazing place, I won Marvel vs Capcom 2 here and they gave me a shirt to commemorate it, I come back here a bunch.

If you're a pinball person; you'd like this place. Got a few old school machines, and a bunch of newer machines. They are all in really, really good condition.

Hands down one of the best arcades with some of the nicest and rarest games in Michigan! Worth the trip to visit

Great arcade with perfectly maintained pinball machines and weekly tournaments.

Always clean and the games are kept up. A good time by all!!!

Great place, and a cool concept. The games and music take me right back to the 80s and 90s.

It's pretty nice place

Great fun for for the whole family

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.”
