I live in Portland, land of the barcades, and whenever I travel to Iowa I try to spend as much time at this spot because it beats out 99% of the barcades in Oregon. Idek where to begin on what I love the most…every machine is 25¢, any type of beer you could imagine is on tap, service is phenomenal, and the TVs are always playing classics from the 90s anything from WWE to boy meets world. They have Nintendo games you can play on a tv or projector, they have pinball machines in great condition and killer queen, and I just CANNOT get enough of this place. 10/10 100% of the time and I look forward to coming to Iowa because of this bar, and family of course See you next year
Place had a cool atmosphere. Old arcade games and two bars (one upstairs and one downstairs). Pizza was ok, 5$ a slice. Staff was great, all pretty nice. The one issue is the arcade games themselves. While the games are cool and I wanted to play them, half of them are broken or don’t work. Good luck finding a working ski ball machine. Even though there’s six of em, you won’t find any that register the 100 point corner shot, and will most likely steal your coins. I get the appeal, but the games are your main draw, make sure they’re all working please.
Cool little arcade bar in the east village right next to Wooly’s. Lots of old retro arcade games, pinball, skee ball. Most were working but several were not. Decent craft beer list and they had some mixed drinks/cocktails. Beers were a little pricey but not way out of line. Pizza is okay as is the cheesey bread. People working there seemed nice.
Great little gaming bar. Fantastic place to waste some time. Friendly staff. Playing classic pinball games is always a really neat expierence. Their quarter machines have had broken credit card readers for a long time but you can use your card to get quarters at the bar.
that is one of my favorite places in the moines. Drinks are good and the pizza is amazing! to play many old arcade games to bring back memories.
