We're lucky to have this place nearby.
It used to be that my daughter would ask to go to Dave and Busters, now she asks to come here.
Great beer selection, friendly people and a great array of pinball / old arcade games.
Stopped in with my 7 year old on a Saturday night and had a blast. The arcade has a ton of pinball machines and approx 12 80’s-90’s style arcade games. The bar also has a great selection, with both beers on-tap and lots of canned and bottled options. Sours, IPA’s, Ciders and even non-alcoholic beer. 20 bucks and the cost of a drink got us through 2 hours of fun. Highly recommend supporting this local small business over the many chain spots in Surprise.
We were bored today and decided to finally stop in and check the arcade out. Decent selection of machines and games and thought it was cool that they had screens so you can watch whoever is playing. Loved the artwork on the walls and in the bathroom. We enjoyed our visit even though it was quick. Seemed like a nice spot to grab a beer once in awhile.
How come there isn't 10 stars on the rating sheet? I would give 100 if I could. I am a non-resident of AZ and I was a resident, I would be in Arcade everyday. They have Avery nice selection of well maintained Pinball machines with video screens on the walls above for easy viewing especially during their Pinball Tourneys on Mondays. Plus they have about 12 other standup and sit down old skool video games. Just wish they had Joust & Tempest. Kevin, the owner, is true to the game and is the right fit for his Arcade/Full Bar. Sometimes you meet folks that start bars like this and they truly do not have the right passion to do so. You will know what I mean when you go to Arcade. And if your hungry, Tacos Calafia is next to the left and the Polish Market is to the right. Might as well set up a tent(well maybe not a tent) but you get the idea.
Support this small business!!! It’s a total gemstone here in Surprise. Most of surprise is filled with chain stores and chain restaurants with subpar experiences. Player 1 was a total fun date night with my girlfriend. We got great service, great choice of craft beer & seltzers. Church Music Hazy IPA was so good. The pinball games are really fun to play but pricey. The arcade games are great with a good solid choice considering the size of the place.
Love to head here on Monday nights for their Pinball League. Great group of people and all their machines are in optimal condition! Pretty rare on my experience…You can grab a beer and play a wide variety of pinball like Stranger Things, Rush, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, and many more. Plus, there’s a taco place and a sushi place next door! What else could you need?
Update #2- this place is my weekly habit, The machines always work, the owner is super friendly and the local beers on tap are soo good. Even if it looks busy, there’s always an open game. 100% recommend visiting. Have a beer or two, get 5$ in tokens and enjoy an hour or two.
OP- My new favorite watering hole! Tons of local beers (cans, bottles, and on tap) and a bunch of cool retro games. Most are only 1 token (pinball is usually 4 tokens). Grab some food from one of the restaurants in the area and bring them to this place for some good cold beer and some cool games. They just opened and I’ve already been a few times. The owner and employees are also very cool. Definitely worth stopping by to have a couple beers!!! Also, they’re cool with bringing your kiddos so they can get some retro gaming in too!! Update #1 - they now offer an annual members mug, I hear there only doing 50 or so members, and half are gone!!! Still my favorite place to bring the kiddos for some old fashioned fun!!!!
Nice small nitch in the Surprise neighborhood for sure. Mostly pinball machines, but the family definitely had fun. Very clean and I love the art. I would definitely recommend.
Stopped by with my son for first time and will definitely be back. Great selection of pinball games in amazing condition and good selection of beers, wines and na beverages. Probably matched or won as many games as I paid for so was a great time.
