Hidden gym with $10 all you can play vintage arcade games & drink specials less than $5. Decent bar food. Staff could be a bit more attentive but tbh, it would usually be a nonfactor for the drink& play vibe.

Firstly, staff was nice. No complaints there.Food was... well, my food (appetizers) was mediocre, but my friend said the wings were great. Price for food wasn't bad at all.Now, games... considering that Arlington has other arcades and that D&B is 2 minutes away, you'd think that this place would have working games. The guitars for guitar hero were inverted and one didn't work correctly at all. They had one of the racing games that had such a blurry display, I could see better without my glasses. Their DDR platform wobbles. They have a cute selection of games, but for 10 dollars to play, it isn't worth it. There is another arcade right up the road that for two dollars more you have access to many, many more working arcade games.In short, come for the food and friendly atmosphere, but know that the games aren't worth the money.

Happy hour has wells and margs for $3.50 the pizza is 10/10 it has a cheese pull better than the movies and the wings come served with hot fresh fries. The small pizza can really serve 2-3 also the arcade games are unlimited with a $10 wrist band purchase.

Laid back place that we can go and kids can have fun and it doesn't break the bank

Excellent place, it's the first time I come with my son and his friends, the young man who treated us was super friendly and attentive, he let us know that he spoke Spanish too and that was very helpful. And the food is served super fast. I loved!!!

Don’t waste your time or money. The staff didn’t even look up at us when we walked in. He just sat on his phone. Almost all of the games are not calibrated. Just a dirty broken down place honestly.

Limited games, several not working or broken, making them difficult to play. No Galaga, which says something. No pinball. Got bored in less than an hour because of selection and issues.

A little underwhelming

Great food. The pizza, and the wings w/fries were all great! The mortal combat themed drinks were a nice touch. The only reason I'm giving it 4 out of 5, I was disappointed that there were a bunch of games that were not working properly. Either broken joysticks or buttons. We still made a great day out of it. Just bummed about some of the ones I wanted to play were not working right. Overall, great staff and a great place.

Not enough games and some of the ones they did have were broken. Seemed like more of a hangout for kids while their parents went to the Improv next door. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were affordable.

Wish I could leave a negative star. Very unwelcoming. My husband and I sat waiting on someone to take our order. It was not busy in there. There were two other tables with people. The young lady that was working just sat there never came to our table.
