    So cool! All my favorite vintage arcade games plus pool in the back. Super fun. Brought my daughter there for her 13th birthday. We will definitely be back.

    Nice staff, good mix of pinball machines, and arcades (retros and modern). Good beer choices and all ages are welcome. Note - I believe on weekends it becomes a 21+ after 9pm

    the staff were really helpful and even put our cake in the fridge while we played. chess is free and we played that for a while. the games are pretty reasonable. the price of drinks though was super surprising — we got a few shots+beers, and was expecting to pay ~$50 for it all, but it was double that!

    We loved Level Up! All the staff was very friendly and the place was super clean. We took our 8 year old and she loved it and all kids out by 9pm. We would definitely go back for an adult night out as well. Great place!

    Decent barcade. Jukebox has basically everything filtered. Almost no explicit songs. Kinda lame considering it’s a bar. So yeah, music selection is garbage. That’s my only real complaint. Hopefully the owner sees this and opens up their TouchTune filters. I’d go here more often if they did. I like to play pool with friends but tend to go elsewhere for music selection alone

    Had a great time! Parking can be difficult but if you can find it, this place is great. It's not too expensive and they have some really fun games. Minors (anyone under 21) get kicked out at 9:00 so be mindful of that if you bring in your kids or friends under their restriction.

    Great employees. My daughter lost $100 on her birthday. They found it the next day and tracked us down on Facebook to return it to her. Above and beyond. Made my daughter's day after she was crushed over loosing it. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Lynda K. 11 months ago on Google
    A blast. Not over crowded even for a Friday night. Employees were great too. Environment is comfortable and laid out nicely. Spacious. Great selection of ways to play games; retro to current. I saw everything I can imagine. Get you're pictures taken in the photo booth while you're there!

  • 4/5 Jacob G. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap drinks, clean, all the games and machines were working, bright colors, lots of TVs, spacious, several pool tables. It was busy but didn’t feel crowded, even for a Friday night. Everyone was laughing and having a good time with their friends. Crazy collection of pinball machines. I got a whiskey and Rainier for $8 (as of March 2023), which feels incredibly cheap.

    I really wanted to like this place. For the most part, it's fine. I find it odd to have a bar environment with kids wandering around. That being said, I understand that is only until 9 pm. They manage it pretty well in terms of the bar participants and the kiddos. The food is bar appetizers nothing terribly special, but acceptable for what it is. If you're not drinking or eating appetizers the games are pretty fun. Average $1.00 each with pin ball being $.50 and the old school stuff @ $.25 & $.50 each. Look, I love that they are trying to keep the old school video games live and provide a fun people to interact outside of social media. I'd go back, just after 9 pm.

    Today I came in with my service dog and I was met by a barking, growling, lunging dog. The bartender was very, very kind and they were more than willing to exercise their right to remove the aggressive dog without even having to be asked. They did an awesome thing today and they protected me, my service dog, and my rights to equal access where not everyone would. Typically in a situation like this, it would be the legitimate service dog team that would have to leave in order to protect themselves and their service dog. Thank you for such amazing service. I would recommend you to any service dog team in the area looking for a safe bar.

    This place is a lot of fun. Decently priced alcohol I suppose. Great bartenders. But a great selection of games. Not a lot, but what they have works. A dozen good pinball machines. Two pool tables. Typical sticks, nothing great, but they will do. Air hockey. Some random games. Best by far is the two player Space Invaders game. Lawdy, it's a hoot!. I call it an 8-bit IMAX game. It's huge and it great fun for 2 players.

  • 5/5 Marilyn C. 11 months ago on Google
    Love love love this place. Best price on drinks. Great bartenders. The games are always well maintained. Great selection of pinball games. Fun in the middle of the day and late at night. Probably my favorite bar in town.

  • 5/5 Brian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, an easy way to spend a few minutes inbthe afternoon, and tons of fun on the cheap. For kids and adults. I go here regularly and love it!

  • 5/5 Steve E. 8 months ago on Google
    Love it. Lots of pinball plus billiards and more. Good bar, friendly service. I will return.

  • 5/5 Tony 7 months ago on Google
    Fun, cheap, a go to spot. Right from the very begining with a friendly welcome, to the pour of our drinks and on through, with a firm handshake inviting us back. ALL the employee's are inviting and loving what they do, with a smile, that has you comfortable and enjoying your time unwinding with friends or a fun date night. It had us from the minute we walked out the door sayn' "we gotta come back" and why haven't we been here before. With the great open hours of 2pm to 2am on weekdays, and a 12pm till 2am on weekends, it's hard not to find a reason not to go and have a great time.

    Needed to kill some time, happened to come upon this place. It was okay. Sort of expected more but it seems to basically be a hangout place for young adults. Great combination if you want to play pinball and drink. Some pool tables but very limited. Bsome games designed for 2 players had only 1 side working. The have a dz or so pinball games and a small variety of other games. We didn't order drinks but it looked Ike they had a huge selection. Lots of tables to sit and enjoy your drinks.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 4 months ago on Google
    Pinball machines in good condition and nice variety of games. Busy enough, but not too busy. $5.50 for a draft IPA on Saturday night was a nice surprise compared to most places I’ve been lately. Easy and free street parking was close. Nice mix of people of all ages.

  • 2/5 Robin L. 4 months ago on Google
    Nasty clientele often make this pleasant pinball spot feel unsafe. Loud homophobic slurs spoken right in front of the bartender elicited no response at all during my last visit. The games are great, but the vibe is frequently terrible. If you must go, bring friends and keep your wits about you.

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a fun place to spend some time, great variety of games and affordable too. Was a weekday and was not over busy.

  • 4/5 Emerald H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my favorite bars. I just wish they'd hire a third bartender for really busy nights, and give them more than one till.

  • 5/5 Cody K. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool bar and arcade. Big place with lots to choose from. They also have multiple pool tables and full size air hockey tables.

  • 5/5 defango 4 years ago on Google
    This is seriously the biggest arcade place around the area that I've seen so far.It's got tons of pinball machines and old school arcade machines that you can play for pretty dang cheap.they have a full bar that seems to have basically everything that you would need and it's pretty simple to play almost any of the games with quarters. it's the perfect old school arcade experience with adult beverages. They even host private events.

  • 5/5 Tim Mull (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Barcade! Good selection of older and newer games. The pinball selection is awesome! The bartenders are attentive and friendly. It is fairly close quarters so social distancing can be a trick, but it is totally worth checking out if you have not been yet! I look forward to going again!

  • 5/5 GamingWithPie 1 year ago on Google
    Been wanting to go here for years and finally did. This place is amazing. So many old arcade cabinets! Only one it was missing was Tetris lol.. Drinks were great too. I'd never been to a bar before, but i knew the flavors I liked in alcohol, and the bartender made me something perfect based on what I said i liked.

  • 4/5 Ian M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place needs a Race Drivin' machine from 1990, a Discs of Tron sit-down version with the surround sound, a Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Star Castle, and a Funhouse pinball machine and I would lose myself for days in here. Karaoke was happening the night I came here and someone did welcome to the jungle in black metal vocals which was hilarious and awesome at the same time! I only wish this place had my favorite machines from my childhood. I could name so many games if hadn't forgotten the names of half of them. Defender, Tapper, 1942, Gun.Smoke, 720, Tempest... The list is endless.

  • 4/5 Taylor G. 1 year ago on Google
    The best selection of classic retro games with some contemporary options as well. I do miss the excellent and creative cocktails they used to serve years ago (the Red Island Mojito and Droptimus Prime, specifically) along with the themed nights and tournaments. I'd love to reclaim my title of Big Buck Hunter champion!

  • 5/5 Marlena G. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place! The staff are wonderful and very quick at serving their costumers. I love you can bring your children and have a blast with them. The place is always supper clean and a great place to have a good time.

  • 5/5 Jill S. 1 year ago on Google
    My son had been begging to go here, so we finally went on a Wednesday around 4. All I had was a twenty, and really didn't want $20 in quarters so ordered a cider from the bar to get smaller bills. My son had a blast playing the games, and we even got an air hockey game in. The place is clean and not too noisy, highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Teddie M. 1 year ago on Google
    I met my girlfriend at Level Up a year ago. Great bartenders serve great drinks at a great price. This is the place in town where the alt. girls go to hang out. Plenty of parking behind the building. Welcoming safe vibes at this place.... definitely not a mix of 'Chads and Chelseys' & street transients like you might find in the Broadway st bars.

  • 5/5 Larissa W. 1 year ago on Google
    Level Up is one of my favorite places to hang out at in Eugene. I love the variety of old school and new games they have. Pool and air hockey are a fun staple. They have good deals on beer and a full bar with some food. The decor and vibes are cool. Overall a great establishment.

  • 4/5 Don P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good mix of old school games and newer stuff. Large selection of newer Stern pins. Don't expect to find anything esoteric though. It's all common/popular stuff. Good beer selection. Food is just frozen stuff you can toss in an air fryer. But hits the spot when you wanna have a few beers and play some pinball!

  • 5/5 anthonyarh 2 years ago on Google
    The best arcade in town. Plenty of pinball and each one works as it should. Good food. Excellent drinks. Friendly atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Jenna B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to go with family and friends. Kids of all ages welcome in. Love going there for the day with my family, great place to get a drink and play video games old style.

  • 5/5 Del P. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great time! The staff was very friendly and accommodating! I went with some friends and we enjoyed the classic arcade games while still being able to enjoy newer arcade games as well. We were able to talk to friendly people and sit down at our own table. I look forward to going back again!
