Super kid friendly on Sunday afternoon and still fully functional adult beverage station (aka bar). This is an awesome twist on the newer gaming places and I would add it is fantastic. They don't serve food on Sunday, but so allow you to bring food in!!! The staff is friendly and the gaming is exceptional. Pinball is cheap and honestly, the drinks are on par with any place out there. The building is well air conditioned and has a great vibe. The music wasn't too loud and there was plenty of seating available. They had a multi room layout so it wasn't overly loud in any one area. So glad we had a rainy summer day that washout our baseball plans and we happened to be close! We will most certainly be back!

Wonderful place for some pinball. A few need some minor repair, but most played perfect

Couldn't believe I've never checked this place out before! BEST TIME EVER! Super friendly bartenders & guests. Everyone is just there to have a good time 😊

We went early, while still family friendly. The kids loved the mocktails and playing games. Friendly staff. We will be back.

Place was okay, the games i a wanted to play you had to pay for (pinball) drinks were good, but they are in with the tow company to come out and patrol the lot behind their building. Parked in a 2 hour parking spot and was inside for 45 minutes to come out a find my car towed. Had to pay 163 to get my car out. Not from Ohio so trying to get my car back was a hassel.

This place is magnificent! A little different than most barcades I've been to because you do have to pay for games but they have one of the most unique and extensive cocktail menus I have ever seen. This entire establishment is doused in childhood nostalgia and there really is something for everyone. We tried quite a few different things but our collective favorite was the pokeshots. We ordered the catch em all and all three shots were really well made.

Awesome experience here recently! Drinks were delicious and definitely priced well for how great they were. Games were a blast, and staff went above and beyond to help celebrate my friends birthday. Can’t wait to come back soon

The bartender didn’t give me my debit card back after closing my tab. They then proceeded to add $44 and some change to my original tab of around $20. I only purchased 2 drinks that were less than $10 each. I had to cancel and order a new debit card and submit a claim with my bank regarding the charge I didn’t authorize. Won’t be coming back here for awhile, and when I do, I won’t be using my card. Highly disappointed because this was one of my favorite places to go in Columbus.

Best place in Columbus for drinks and retro arcade games. Love the atmosphere and throwback vibe. Three rooms full of games, outside patio and the specialty house drinks make it a fun place to hang with friends. Prices and service are great. Our favorite place.

Fun find! There is a bar with a similar concept in downtown Columbus that is NEVER open. Loved that we found this place with regular hours that we can pop in and have a beer. I would highly recommend if you like to play mostly free arcade games while enjoying a beer or a clever named cocktail.

If you love old arcade and unique drinks this is your place to be. We have been in early cause of having kids and the staff is always the nicest. Plenty of arcades to play, and even some rarer ones like black widow and Robotron. Looking for a fun evening, go there! You won’t regret it!

Fun, cute little place! The bartenders were super friendly and the drinks were strong. The games were working well and they had a ton of them. The pizza was amazing! Fun patio in the back with an awesome mural on the wall and life size Jenga. I recommend for a fun night out with friends!

not bad but the pinball machines are lacking in both quantity & quality. i'm not interested in anything else. drinks were good and fairly priced for an arcade bar. i was hoping for more cute boys.

I love this place, but they are NEVER open until 2:30 on the weekends. Last call is at 1am (1:30 if you're lucky). They have locked the doors at 1:30 before. And, it's not like the place is dead. I'll never understand why a place packed with people lined up at the bar trying to order drinks would kick everyone out and close early, but they do it every weekend. Don't they like money?

Great selection of games, most of them free. Beer can be a bit pricey, but since the games are free and understand the upcharge. Staff is super nice and never seem to be overwhelmed even when busy. Overall a real nice place.

I really love the concept of this place and every time I been there before 8pm the games have been free. A great collection of gaming consoles both new and old as well as traditional arcade machines. The whole spot has a retro vibe to it that reminds me of donkey kong.. low to moderate prices with food service on location prior to covid and I think may have been restored at this point. One draw back... Satan worshipping not your thing? Then stay out of the bathroom. Some very confused folks apparently frequent the joint as well. Proceed with caution.

Cool spot to hang and play some classic arcade.They have setups with all the classic console games as well. Everything is free to play except pinball, air hockey, and guitar hero.They have great pizza BUT, the staffing sucks. The last time I went they let us bring hound dogs pizza in because their pizza boy didn't show up for work. I haven't tried their drinks yet but my friends said the bar is great. Looked like there's lots of stuff on tap and I saw custom drinks as well.

Absolutely love this place. Went on a Sunday night ! The bartender did a amazing job! The drinks were amazing!!! Definitely try super smash bros ! Some of the games had a buttons stuck but definitely worth going !

This place is awesome - I regret not going sooner. I went during happy hour with my kids and we all had a blast playing retro games. Most everything is free to play, and there are 3 rooms of games. They even have a kid's cocktail menu. 5/5

Amazing place, atmosphere and staff! I went with friends a few weeks back and had a fantastic time. It's not too crowded, there are tons of games to play, with many on free play mode, and all of the drinks had cool retro game themes.

I come here all the time! Pizza is good, drinks are great and games are fun. Only complaint is that there seems to be a lot of games down every now and then and they seem to be out for awhile.

Old North Arcade is one of my favorite places to be. However, after last night and interacting with the "food manager," it put a bad taste in my mouth. I can't remember his name, but the dude was short and with glasses. He was extremely rude and downright unfriendly. And where was his hair net? However, as usual, the bar staff was great, and I love the bar general manager.

Great place to hangout and play some old school arcade games, pinball, air hockey, etc. Drinks are good and staff are nice. Can get kind of busy on the weekends but Sunday and weeknights aren't usually too bad. Don't forget you can get a Detroit pizza from Square Slice in the back room.

I reccomend the spyro cocktail and birthday shot. Love the games and entertainment and chill atmosphere. They also have outdoor picnic tables and games too. Some shooters, Dance Revolution, and Pin ball games cost $1.00 but most games are free to play. Great staff and service as well. I go often and is the main bar I go to.

They have a great selection of arcade games. X-men, Tron, Galaga, to Guitar Hero, Time Crisis 2, and House of Dead 2. Honestly some of best selection of arcade games I have seen in a while, but the issue isn't that. The issue was a good 1/4th of all the games weren't working. I would pick up some others games that weren't working without a sign on them. Basically A LOT of games weren't working. [Also tried to play the home consoles too and they weren't working either] The drinks were fine and the service too. [Also paid for air hockey and you have to hit the machine to make it work. 🙃 ] Just fix your games and I will be back.

We love Old North! We have a huge family and this place has something for everyone. They're open for fam's on Sunday's - cool drinks for the kids. The adults menu is fun too!

I come here because Eris is SO amazing. They’re always so welcoming and accommodating for big groups and they’re always very pleasant to be around. The drinks are awesome, a tad bit on the pricey side but worth every penny. The vibes are great especially when Eris is there because they definitely make you feel like family (like the Olive Garden slogan) Kevin is also great. I wish the guitar hero machine was working more often :(

Great bar to be a regular at! The staff are always kind and helpful. I was going regularly for over a year before I had to move away. Games are always fun and the cocktails while tasting good are still pretty decently strong! Which is a good thing. Also, love all the choices and seasonal drinks. Will definitely return on occasion even thoguh I've moved an hour away.

I took my cousin here for his 21st birthday. It was an amazing time! The bartenders are really nice, the atmosphere is super chill. There’s an outdoor area and really freaking good pizza. Prices are really good too, and drinks are strong.

Great place for a date night, or bring the kids during the day until 8. They have awesome specialty cocktails, and mocktails for the kiddies. Friendly staff and great games.

Really cool retro arcade joint! Great for a throw back night out or just to game it up with the gang! Pizza and drinks are a bonus, too, if you have a hankering!

The drinks are great and definitely worth their value! The pizza store that they have their is also one of my favorites! The games that they have are a lot of fun and it has a great atmosphere!
