What an amazing establishment! The music, pool, games, and pinball, plus space, and offering beer and wine! Also, open late.... The closing times can vary, based on how busy it is, up until 2am! The Owner Rob/Ron...... Was very accommodating. He is the type of ambassador, that invites you to return! Ya gotta he over 21...perhaps after a certain time. Pool tables were $4-5, a game. The prices on the machines varied from 25¢ to $1......about 22 machines, in great shape! A focal point of reutrn... For sure!! Thank you for making the experience of my Daughter and me.....a great SLO experience!!!!!

Super rad environment super dope venue love the local click vibes music the pool tables I haven’t tried there food yet, but I have yet to try. Communication is key. Never take for granted, the opportunities that we have in life🙌 . For we can never predict the outcome the way things could unfold later. 🌊

This was my first time to a place like this and it was so fun! It took me right back to my MK arcade days and it was so much fun winning again :) Service was friendly and excellent - thank you Rob!

Step back in time as you enter this wonderful bar arcade in downtown SLO. There are old arcade games that take you back to the 80s and 90s. They have an incredible bar with so many options for beer. When we visited, there were so many kids running around playing, screaming for joy, and having a blast! They even have my favorite arcade game from childhood, Sunset Riders! This is a great place for the family to go and have a party, some fun entertainment, or even a late night bar with games. They also do activities like board game championships. Rob and the team worked extremely hard to make this arcade a reality, and it is so great to see this venue open up in downtown.

Great arcade place. But I do wish they had some more of the older games such as frogger galaga zag zon. They had some pretty good old games there. They had a wide assortment of beer as well as hard liquor. They also had pool tables. Overall it's a nice place the staff is friendly and courteous.

We went for a beer and some play… the games are expensive for old arcade games… each game is a $1…. But we had a great time, everyone was friendly. And they have gaming competitions!! Pretty cool

What a freaking vibe on sundays for karaoke. The bartenders (and kj dual? Lol) get down, and get REALLY down. If you're bored watching people embarrass themselves, there's also a gigantic arcade in the middle of it all! Fun times all around

The games selection, whether its the stand up arcade or pinball, they have a huge selection. The beer selection is really good and mostly local brews. We chatted with our bartender, who knew the arcades in Phoenix, which I wouldnt expect for someone here. Totally worth a stop and a pint.

Love this place! Every time we visit SLO, we always need to stop here. Great games, great service, bring the kiddos!

During the day it’s a nice place to take your kids to give them the original gaming experience. At 8:00pm it’s a 21+ venue. Their food is always good and they have a nacho challenge. No one has beaten it yet but the size of the challenge is close to 20-30 normal portions. The vibes are immaculate. They have poker on saturdays starting at 2 and on Wednesday starting at 6. Kareoke on Saturday at 9:00 (but it doesn’t really start until 9:30-40)

Been coming here for about a year and love it every time. Friendly staff and great beer selection! Games are fun and the pin selection is fantastic. It’s hard to keep pins up and running in as good of condition as these are, hats off to the team continuing to do good work.

This place has only gotten better since it opened. The place to go for family fun and games. Four pool tables, plenty of pinball, old games, new games, air hockey, claw machines, and last time I was there poker was going on. Only drawback, if you have kids or teens there are cut off times at night, one night I was there it was 9:00 another night it was 7:00. If it's a concern call ahead. There's a nice selection of snacks and drinks, and the they've changed how do you pay for games to this card that's much easier than the coins. I especially like that the pool table gives you 25 minutes, which is enough for two to three games also bonus Plus there's a back room for parties, and a couch for those of us who are just waiting for their kids to finish their pinball.

I go just for the DDR Extreme machine. Works very well for how old it is! Join the dance game club to hang out with others who like to play! For the bar, I recommend the hard root beer because I love sweet drinks.

Took my family there and we all enjoyed the games, food and Pool tables. Great place to check out. Metallica Pinball was so cool. I highly recommend checking it out.

Wide variety of games ranging from Street fighter to pinball. Many rare games including two-player Mario kart 2 racing Sim and Tron. Tina of high scores waiting to be broken. Great courteous staff members. Overall it's a great place to hangout, put $20 on a card and was only able to get through half of it in an hour.

My family and I always have a great time at this arcade. There are so many fun games, which are all in proper working order every time we visit. There's also poker, karaoke, food, & drinks. It's a perfect place to throw a birthday party for any age group. The place is usually clean, machines are well-maintained, and it is always guaranteed fun.

Pretty fun place to hangout. wish they had more food and fun drink options like boba or smoothies. I guess they wouldnt want people to eat drink and play games at the same time but we got hungry and had to leave the place shortly. But games were fun and not so expensive. Fun time!

This place has come a long way from when they first opened. They have plenty of fun arcade games, including games for up to 8 players, as well as an assortment of pinball machines. The bar is reasonably priced, and only serves beer/cider. I wish there were more air hockey machines, as air hockey is always in demand.

This place is a bar cosplaying as an arcade. From the sticky floors, broken or half working games, and the priority to selling food and drink over the experience of being there it is a flop as a whole. I’ve been here a total of 3 times, the last two being “one last chance, maybe it was an off day” So upsetting since the arcade in Osos has closed.

tried 3 different games which all took points off my card but did not let me play. left with 40/200 of the points i payed for not having actually played a single game. the one game that did “work” took so long to register my points that i managed to get the employee and bring them over there bogies it was ready and ended up just walking away from the game all together. all the staff could do was get the points refunded on my card but this was a special trip far from home and i honestly hope to never find myself back here again to use those refunded points.
