Love this place. Great selection of games and a good place to go for some quick and easy fun. It can get very muggy when it’s full of a bunch of sweaty people and the air circulation is not great. Staff seem like they hate their lives and are total robots. Not a personality to be seen. But still a great experience and I’ll keep coming back.

To young people, this is a museum. To the older generation, this takes you back to the days when arcades had the best video games around...except it's clean! The games are pristine (like no cigarette burns or grime) and they have a good enough selection that you could find at least a couple games you'd recognize. And it's a blast explaining to kids what a pinball machine.

Such a nostalgic vibe here—takes me back to my childhood days, playing all my faves from the 80s and 90s! They even have it dimly lit, just like the old-school arcades! 🎮✨
