They had games I hadn't seen in years !! Also the set up of getting a wristband and being able to play all day is perfect

Great beer selection but kind of pricey. All the old arcade games I ever wanted to play and some I never heard of.

Cool place, with lots of arcade games to choose from. Fun place for the entire family, all ages. Not too crowded inside, and lots of convenient parking outside. Adults can even grab a domestic or craft beer, a wine, or a sour; but it still maintains it's family friendly environment. $12 gives you access to all of the games, and you can't beat that price.

Update: 3 stars
I visited this place about 5 months ago and decided to give it another shot. Although while fun and a good time killer, I will say that this arcade doesn't do a very good job at upkeeping the games. Joysticks and buttons get stuck, or don't allow the character to move in a certain direction, and can be frustrating when you really just want to play the game that makes it virtually impossible to play. Several link up games only had one working tv, other screens continuously scrolled from top to bottom so there's no point in trying to play it. Even the basketball shot didn't even have nets on the rim. I'll be willing to drive further elsewhere for a better quality arcade experience unless they can start maintain their games better.
Original: 4 stars
This place is pretty cool. Admission is reasonably priced and drinks are also well priced. Pretty good variety of games, even though the place isn't that big. One of my biggest complaints and reason for 4 stars was that a lot of the games have buttons that have been abused over the decades, and they only work maybe 60%-70% of the times pressed, making already difficult games even more difficult (even with unlimited lives). Other driving games the wheels are so sensitive you can't even choose a car/track your want. I've been to other arcades where this is significantly less of an issue. It will not deter me from coming back, but I would like to see more of an effort to maintain and provide a better quality experience. I don't know if they rotate games in and out but that too would also be nice to see. Me and my 4 year old spent about 2 hours here (he would have stayed all day), but we will be coming back at some point.

Staff upon entry is VERY friendly. Family owned Arcade for the last 3 years, which is awesome! Not franchised. 🤘
Good selection of pinball, classics and more. Worth a visit!

Pretty cool concept. Would love more game options, but everything else was fun! The service is friendly and it's not overly crowded so that's great!

Had a good time. The steering wheel of the racing games needs maintenance, but everything else was great.
