This place wins for two reason:1 - free game play before 9 PM on week nights. Come on. Who doesn't love a good arcade throwback sesh?2 - the absolutely COMMITMENT to their Stranger Things pop up. I know you can't experience that year round, but you can still visit, buy drinks, and spend your money on the games to keep them primed and ready to go all out for future Halloweens!This place has a cool vibe and is great to hang out in even without the Halloween theme. They feature local beers and have a decent bar menu. If you're downtown, it's a fun way to spend a few hours (trust me, you'll wish you had more time to hang out no matter how much time you planned to spend). It's a great spot in between all the other walking around and museums in downtown - even if your whole group does want to play games, there is a lounge area with couches both up and downstairs, so even if your dogs are howling and you just want to post up with a beer for a few minutes, this is the spot.

It was great! Especially if you like 80s and 90s music and arcade games. My favorites were the pinball machines. There was a wide variety of music genres. My sister and I had a blast.

Our family of 5 (my husband, and I and our 3 daughters) had a great time here playing arcade games, taking photos and having drinks in December on our trip to Nashville. The place was decorated so nicely for Christmas. We loved the entire vibe! We loved playing Ms. Pac Man, Tetris, Galaga and pinball! We went around 4 pm and the place was pretty empty - only 2 other people, so it was perfect for getting to play the games we wanted to play without any wait. Such a great idea for a bar! We will definitely be back next time we visit Nashville!

Came here on a whim and it did not disappoint. The bartender was very nice, and made us drinks based on our taste preference! Love the space itself, and it was such a treat as all/majority of the arcade games were FREE - you read that right, f r e e !!! Definitely come here for a good time with beer, cocktails, and games....

Nashville's best little hangout for arcade nerds of the 70's, 80's & 90's! Full service bar with a variety of craft brews on tap, play games for free while drinking. Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, Frogger, Asteroids, Tapper, Tetris, Donkey Kong, Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat, and many more arcade games; Skee-ball, hoops and several pinball machines. Cool bartenders. Must visit! Just off the strip, a couple minutes' walk from Hard Rock Café.

This felt like a hidden gem! I've visited Nashville and lived here for a few months now and didn't know it existed. We went for a date on a Friday night but it was surprisingly not crowded. Walked right in, grabbed drinks, and started playing the free play games (so nice that you don't need a bunch of tokens or quarters). I loved the music! The dj was awesome & the winter decorations were so cute. I'd absolutely bring a group here or use it as an active date spot.

The best bar in Nashville, hands down! Right off the main strip so less busy than most bars. The games are free to play and the atmosphere and decor are AWESOME. It is Stranger Things themed, which everyone loves! Drinks are reasonably priced too. They need to open one up here in Clearwater FL, please!!

Awesome beers. The games are free except the basketball and crane machine. Atmosphere is a dive bar with good music, dark, yet nostalgic. If you can play MK2 and drink an amazing microbrew, you have a 10 in my book.

This was such a fun place to grab some drinks, enjoy some music and play some classic arcade games. All the games were free and it wasn't super crowded, even on a Saturday night so you could easily play the games you wanted. The atmosphere was great and I loved that the entire place was decorated in a Stranger Things theme. I would definitely recommend.

This place is awesome if you love playing old pinball and video games! We went on a Wednesday and it was all to ourselves. My wife and I had a blast!
Despite having some attractive yet uncommon menu items, the food that I have eaten each time is totally acceptable. I have never eaten anything there that strayed too far from expectations. That being said, we go there for the arcade games which are all free providing you eat or drink. The only games that aren't free are the basketball and skee ball. $1 a piece I believe. It is a good time. I just wouldn't plan for it to be a main meal.

Great bartenders, excellent food and interesting drinks! I went here with a friend, and we had a lot of fun playing the arcade games which are mostly free to play. I love the atmosphere and the murals on the wall.

Beer and Ambiance are great, food is ok (but a bit slow) . The arcade and pinballs make it amazing ( they are free to play!). Love it!

This place was awesome! It’s tucked away off Broadway but it wasn’t crowded at all so there was never a wait to play whatever game we wanted! The drinks were a little bit expensive, but almost all the games were free to play so it’s worth it in my opinion!

So this is off Broadway it was not crowded at all. They had awesome arcades, some were classics and a wall of cd's that looked so cool. We got a lemon drop shot and probably one of the best I have ever had. Bartender was great. Music was rap and not my style more of a rock and roll girl. But still had fun. They had a trivia night I missed but would have loved it. Would visit again just didn't love music that night.
