Theresa O'LearyJuly 17, 2018Even if you are not super into gaming/arcades, this should be on your radar. They unexpectedly have the best pizza in town as well. Try the Mac & Cheese pizza in the back of the bar!
Erik RowleyJanuary 15, 2016Believe it or not, this is one of the best places to get breakfast in the city. Incredible fresh breakfast pizza with mimosas and bloody Mary's...and Mario Kart.

The pizza served is well done and delicious. If you want to get some game time in, I don't suggest going on weekends. Good drink options too. They have great themed parties and specials as well.
Courtney HildebrandAugust 5, 2015If you love Mario Kart, skee ball, and a huge selection of craft and local beers- this is your spot. Any hour after the doors open this place fills up!- DoubleDeuceMay 11, 2015Arcade games and plenty of outdoor seating. A very tight squeeze without the outdoor space. Tons of fun. Great place to meet up with friends.
Kevin C.May 22, 2024They’ve cracked the code! Drinks & pinball. Because after a few drinks you really don’t mind that you’re way worse at pinball than you remember. Also, you don’t win tickets playing skee ball…- Great retro arcade plus like 48 beers on tap at all times! Large Jenga & Connect 4 to play outside are great! Skeeball as well!
DonovanAugust 8, 2015Lots of game selections. Good fast service. Can get pretty crowded and hot in there as the night moves on. Little more airflow would be nice.
The idea of uptown a but better than the reality. I find I am not crazy about the crowd. Good beers and cool building concept though. Worth checking out.- Erik RowleyOctober 28, 2015Packed full of classic arcade games, plus they have a Nintendo 64 hooked up to a projector screen, and tons of craft beer. Diddy Kong Racing anyone?
- Anthony RodermanJanuary 25, 2016Come for the video games and beer; stay for the giant Jenga and Skee Ball.
Samantha VanderhoofFebruary 3, 2021Amazing beer list, great bartenders and fun old school arcade games to play
Devon SchreinerSeptember 9, 201621 and older is nice if you don't want to deal with the kids stealing your machines and beating you at games they've never heard of.
- 48+ beers on tap with retro video games & old school TV. Very fun place!
Too many arcade games and craft beer taps to count! If you grab a pizza slice, go with one of the specialties.
Jenny L.December 29, 2015Can be loud and have limited seating for non players. Beer list makes it worth it.

"Lots of games for kids and adults. Great for parties. Great food and drink selection."
Olivia King - 7.5
"Good, not great, beer selection. Excellent food and service. $6 band gets you unlimited video games and access to pinball, but you still need 25 cents to play pinball."

"Enjoyed bowling. A tad bit expensive seeing they don't offer any thing more than a regular bowling alley."

"Meat, cheese and bread make up the joyous menu. Add an egg at breakfast time (or any, being open 24/7). Big fan of their patty melt with an order of hash browns, all topped off with a slice of pie."
Bob Specht - 8.9
"The Bengal Tiger pizza was really great. A nice change of flavor for a pizza with the tandoori chicken and cilantro. Yum!"
Raymond Smith - 9.0
"The Roundup for two...enough for 3! Subbed roasted carrots (amazing) for coleslaw. Super yummilicious! And filling"
