Such a fun place! So many different pinball machines, and it was way bigger than we originally expected! Took my dad for his bday on 1/11 and we had a blast. A ton of claw machines, too! The bartender was super friendly and informative. Can't wait to go back! Whoever is in charge of buying the machines, THANK YOU for having the Foo Fighters one!!!

Great food priced right. Nice variety of games that kept our family playing for hours. WiFi went out and all our play cards wouldn't work, within 15 minutes all the games were set to free play until WiFi came back on. Very nice surprise and a great solution for all the guests.

Love going here with the family to have some fun. So many different themes of pinball games. Plus, they have other pretty awesome arcade games to choose from and some great prizes. They have a great and kind of extensive draft beer selection and a multitude of other bar drinks. We haven't tried there food but definitely plan on it in the future. Great atmosphere.

This is a fun place for kids, teens, friends or families. Unique place that has three rooms of pinball machines, claw prize machines and a variety of other games. Free parking, reasonable prices and clean inside. Friendly staff. Food was pretty good and a good variety menu. We took our 3 and 4 year old grandsons so we brought their little stools that they carried around so they can play and reach the games independently, lol. They loved it all Lunch for 2 adults and 2 children was $56. You can buy reloadable game cards that you simply scan to play the games. That cost $50. So the total cost for 2-3 hours of food and fun was $110. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it did get busy but not too busy or too crowded. Many customers were simply picking up their to-go food orders and then left. We will come back again.
