    Such an awesome place to hang out with friends. The games are all free and there is a fairly decent beer menu. There are tons of classic arcade games to play, just expect a wait to play on a weekend.

    A brilliant idea executed perfectly. Free arcade and pinball games from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. Plus a great beer list and multiple bars, so no matter where you are, you won't go thirsty.

    No cover charge! Must be 21! And you can play without having an open tab! Fantastic bar with a break game, wine and beer selection. 80's and 90's music and decor. Love this place.

    Voted Best Party Brunch: Large rooms perfect for bigger groups, fun drinks and an envious beer list make this place perfect for a Sunday Funday. Read more

    he Benedict was a pork belly confit, topped with poached eggs and a house made giardiniera and peppers, and of course a spicy hollandaise sauce. It was delicious. http://bit.ly/1ImrXvb

    Some of the video games could use some love, but I can't really complain if they're on free play. Awesome pinball and great selection of beer.

    Probably a better place in the middle of the week because the lines get long on the weekends and there's not enough space to walk at times. Good spot regardless.

    Drinks are expensive but the games are free, it's totally worth it. Huge game/pinball selection. Can get crowded, try going on an off day.
