👍👍 Recommended by a friend while I was in the area as I'm a pretty big arcade head, not disappointed. Great selection of classic arcades, all working order and crisp and snappy. Atmosphere was fantastic, felt like 90s vibes for adults. Decent selection of pinball cabinets. If you have $7 to burn I high... People often mention games, great,

    Recommended by a friend while I was in the area as I'm a pretty big arcade head, not disappointed. Great selection of classic arcades, all working order and crisp and snappy. Atmosphere was fantastic, felt like 90s vibes for adults. Decent selection of pinball cabinets. If you have $7 to burn I highly suggest stopping in. The bartender was very chill, too. ~~Extra~~ Games I remember if looking for something specific Rhythm games: Pump it up pro - no card scan, no access to full menu (speed mod etc) at the time I played, pads in great condition otherwise DDR Extreme - screen a bit dim, no other issues, pad in great condition, marvelous window is on SDVX - Right knob a little sus, great otherwise Chunitha - No issues Jubeat - Looked ok, didn't play Pinball: Guns and Roses - OOC/non-operational Scared Stiff - Ball sticks quite a bit in upper track, have to shake pretty hard to release it a few times Lord of the Rings - Flippers don't match, not really an issue though Terminator Rocky and Bullwinkle Outrun Who Dunnit Funhouse Ghostbusters Attack from Mars Pirates of the Caribbean Addams Family Classics: Burgertime Sinistar Galaga Galaxian Toobin' Dig-dug Joust Robotron Super Mario Bros 3 Snes vision with super tennis, super Mario world, F-zero Castlevania Dragon quest - very quiet, screen dim, fun though! Gauntlet Dark Legacy X-Men (4 players not 6) 4-p Pac-Man Pac-Man cocktail table Arkanoid cocktail table NBA Jam (Yessss!!) Skee-ball Fighting: Tekken 3 Tekken 5 Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat II Street Fighter II: World Championship Killer Instinct Racing: 2 Arctic Thunder (right cab steering kinda bad) 2 fast n furious super cars (I think) 2 Hydro Thunder 4 Cruisin USA Crazy Taxi Shooters: Jurassic Park Physical Sports games: Foosball - I didn't care for the placement of the table, made it a little hard to play how I like Hockey This list probably has errors and it's definitely not exhaustive, there's way more than what I've listed. I had such a good time 😊

    Awesome throwback to my youth! It was a lot of fun having come on family day, and seeing the two teenage boys enjoy the old arcade games as (almost) much as I had…back in the day. I really loved being able to progress through some games that I was not able to when having to spend quarters to do so…many years ago. The barkeep made his favorite drink for us which was the pictured whiskey and soda…it was awesome! Try this place for a fun date when it’s 21 and over only…you really can’t go wrong.

    Good place to go if you're like me and miss the arcades of the 90s. Good drinks, too. I like their drinks names and how they kept it with the gaming theme. Excellent staff, from the door staff to the floor staff, all are very nice people. They're always rotating games in and out, which I think it's great. It's not just the same games all the time.

    Had a wonderful time with friends! The arcade machines are all old-school games so it's definitely a great trip down memory lane at quite an affordable entry price. Will definitely like to come back again!

    A truly incredible place that I frequent often. Arcade games of all shapes and sizes from every era and genre, all of them completely free after you pay the reasonable entrance fee of $10. On top of that the drinks are well priced and well made. The staff is always friendly and fun. What else can I say? Check it out for yourself already!!

    Went with some friends, always have a good time but last night some guy wouldn’t leave me alone. First it was slightly annoying but by the end of the night he was following me and not leaving me alone at all. The security saw what was going on after I started making laps around trying to just get away from him. They would point to me where he was and they made sure he stayed behind once leaving so he wouldnt follow me out. 10/10 so grateful for them and how fast they picked up what was going on.

    So glad they brought an old school arcade to Worcester. Especially for adults only! Drinks are great and good priced. Bartenders are very nice, music is great and karaoke on Saturday is a must!
