    Coworker and I stopped in to check out the place then returned for a quick beer and some games on another day. Because they aren't a restaurant they require a lifetime membership, for exactly $1. There are tons of pinball machines here that are $.50 a game, as of this writing there is a free PBR pinball machine. With that said, there is a fairly large selection of completely free arcade games. Like you pay nothing. Meaning you walk up to a well cared for machine, and you play it without giving money. Mortal combat, Pacman, PGA tour, teenage mutant Ninja turtles, Mario Cart, Galaga, and many more. Why this place wasn't slammed is a mystery to me.

    Such a fun find. Very fun atmosphere. The bar has old cassette tapes laid into it for some extra retro charm. They offer all sorts of retro arcade games and pinball machines . The arcade machines are free. The pin ball takes quarters and there is a change machine. There also ever popular โ€œhow strong are you punching bagโ€ which is pure entertainment to watch. Thereโ€™s also air hockey and basket ball. The beer selection is amazing covering all bases.

    Still one of my top favorite places! On top of air hockey... Skeeball...classic arcades and pinball...they have consoles! Most importantly Mario kart 64 on a TV! Kids are allowed but not after 8:30 or 9:00 I think. Its an awesome place to spend an afternoon with kids or an evening having beer and Mario kart competitions! Chris is super awesome and you can tell he cares about maintaining the place.

    Amazing game bar-cade. Most games are free (unlike other barcades). Great atmosphere, fair priced drinks, and the owner Chris is truly just a lover of great games. Highly recommend.

    Pretty decent in my opinion. They have a good selection of classic arcade games. Decent handful of pins. I went for the pinballs. Classic arcades were free to play. Pins were 50 cents a play. Pretty good deal. Air hockey table. Duel basketball hoops. Very chill place with decent beer selection. Not many places to sit and talk, which is fine, because this is a game bar. Get up and play. Talk about what you played, and what you remember from your childhood. Not very loud. Excellent place to chill and have some fun. Recommend highly.

    This place has the best lineup of pinball machines that I have seen in a while! And at 50 cents a play, you can actually play them all or make some progress on your favorite! The owner is also a really nice guy and you will feel welcome.

    We loved this arcade bar! We've been to Abari and Lucky's and this is way better than both of those. The space is very well decorated and much nicer than most arcade bars. A lot of the games are set to free play which is really nice. Pinball is 50 cents. They have a good selection of local craft beer and cider on tap. Their pretzels are amazing and $5 during happy hour specials. I tried the crispy bacon pretzel, jalapeรฑo cheddar pretzel bites, and the Rocky sandwich. The bread was very fresh and we loved it all. The cranberry blood orange cider on tap was one of the best ciders Iโ€™ve ever had. It had a lot of flavor and was dry. In addition to the traditional games, they also had foosball, air hockey, a boxing game, and skee ball. We went for a happy hour on Thursday and it was not at all crowded. I would highly recommend checking this place out! Iโ€™ll definitely be back!

    I definitely recommend checking this place out, especially if you love arcade games and Nintendo stuff. I have only been there once, but adored it. Drinks: they have a good selection of beers and liquors. Staff: I LOVED the bartender that was there when we visited. He was helpful with recommendations regarding the beers they had on tap. He had a good attitude in general and a great sense of humor! Building: It is a cozy place, not too big, with arcade games tucked everywhere and Nintendo games at the tables. Bathroom was decent. Parking: There is a parking lot alongside the building. Check them out - you won't regret it!

๐Ÿ‘ This was our first time at Caroline's Oyster bar and to be honest it underwhelmed. Now does this mean it was a horrible dining experience? Of course not. We gave it 4 stars! The Charlotte area is craving a good Oyster bar and sadly Caroline's has missed the mark. Will they do well? Yes, they will...
