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.
Went early with 2 friends. Bartender was very friendly & knowledgeable. Prices were reasonable. Drinks were great. Games were fun. Definitely like it more since the upstairs is utilized with food & other games.
This is one of our favorite places in Iowa. We've been here so many times to play games and enjoy an afternoon. We love going there on Sunday afternoons because there's hardly anyone there until the evening. The pizza is some of the best too.
My husband and I go out to play pinball each Sat.here, it can get crowded after 9 pm but you can usually still find something to play. Its A lot of older arcade games, 2 sets skeeball, 3 pinball machines upstairs, 8 downstairs, good collection of old school arcade games. They also have several shooting games... Good prices and deals on tokens, $10 free on your birthday, and buy $10 in tokens get twice as many, $10 free on Sat nights b4 9pm. Since it is older equipment there are times machines are down, mostly skeeball, but usually up and running again by the following weekend.
Fun, crazy, silly, active, young or old, rich or poor, everyone will have a good time here. It's fun just to watch. Come down watch a pro and learn how to use all the techniques from the old times. Games from every Era are in play. You don't even need to know what the game is, or how to play. You will feel like a kid again. From skeeball to pin BS
Loved this place for years, it's constantly getting better! I found an amazing 'new age' game that isn't old and is all kinds of f***in fun !! It's a 'tug of war' style race to the left or right where you have to kill your opponent repeatedly to reach the finish line. My brother and I played this game untill the lights came on and patrons were asked to leave for the night !!
Love all of the arcade games, pizza and drinks! Makes for a perfect night out
Assortment of beers mixed with an arcade/pinball area. This is a chain I'm told, and it looks similar to others. I haven't been to any of others, but I did enjoy myself here. Some of their games had issues like skee ball where you couldn't read the digits... or the mario party was super pixelated because of how big they made it. It needs a bit of fixing up, but aside from that there is a decent variety of games to play. No prizes if you do well, its a straight up arcade. They have an upstairs and a down stair area. Downstairs its much darker as there are no windows. Its basement level. Parking is available on the street with metered parking.
Wonderful time here. Excellent games available particularly like they have two sets of skiball Many other games available for both solo people, couples, or groups. Playing games is pretty cheap - it's a quarter per game, for any game. Easy to get coins - both at the bar or using one of the machines throughout the bar. The drinks were pretty delicious too.
I love the addition of the 2nd floor, so now it's accessible to folks that couldn't previously go down the stairs, since it was only located in the basement. The new first floor now features additional speedball lanes, more screens, basketball hoops, and pizza kitchen!
