    Such a neat gem in Oklahoma City! They didn’t have food when I went but had really cool drinks and games! The vibe was “dive bar” meets arcade. And I love it! Great bar for friends to meet up and drink and play or even for a date after dinner to score some ‘cool points’! 👾🎮

    I've been several times and loved it. We went again tonight and had a great time. We gamed for a few hours and everyone had a good time. Always a place I recommend to friends looking to go out! Edit: To Flashback, I am very sorry, this was supposed to be 5 stars and I am not sure why it posted otherwise. I've corrected it now!

    Omg! This place has EVERYTHING my little heart remembers from the arcades I used to go to in the 80s. Although the ski ball cheated my on points and the drinks were good but weak, I'd come back any day. The DJ was lit and the atmosphere was perfect! The prices were great too! Amazing spot for a date or to hang out with friends.

    I came OKC just for this. Can't wait to go back. Super fun, Awesome drinks. I pretty sure I have everyone in the board. Great place to just have some fun. No food, but places nearby with good eats and entertainment. Ladies, you gotta check out the signs on the ladies bathroom stalls....... They are just for us girls and I thought it was pretty cool to see!!!! I highly recommend a trip out here!!!

    Went on a Saturday night. Love how big the arcade floor is around the bar. The pong game and skeeball are my favorites, though all games are automatically shut off at 1:30am. Weekend at Bernie's is the drink of choice. The turn off lies in the poor representation by the doorman and bartenders, the game shut off time, and the fact that 1/3 of the games were out of order.

    Nostalgic retro arcade that has plenty of space and doesn't feel cramped and crowded like some competitors. Games are set to freeplay, so once you pay the $5 cover or purchase two drinks, you can play and stay as long as you want. What a deal! Very clean and well kept, very friendly staff. I was very excited they had spiked slush puppies in many flavors. Lots of things on display to throw you back to your childhood.

    This was a very fun experience for our date night. We both ordered a drink and a shot. They were good. We really couldn't taste the alcohol. She told us we had to buy 2 drinks or pay $5 to play. The games were free. We had a blast playing the games. I loved the flashback atmosphere and games from our childhood. Parking on the side of the building cost us $5.

    Really fun place! Lots of retro arcade games and the drink menu is incredible! My wife and I got the Ferris Bueller and a key lime pie-flavored Kansas-based ale that were delicious.

    I brought a group of 30 plus people here last night and it was tons of fun. Drinks were made strong and I felt like I got my $10 per drink worth. There's a DJ that played fun music and dance floor area. Bathrooms were clean although one of the toilets was out of order in the men's restroom. All the games were working and everybody had a great time!

    This is a great idea and pulled off very well. Love the games and love the atmosphere. Wish my kids could come and enjoy what I used to love as a kid. It's 21 and over, or it was on the night I went. Memorabilia was off the chain. Loved it! Staff was super nice too.

  • 5/5 Kristin Burns (. 4 months ago on Google
    Super fun and cute location! Love the arcade games from my youth!

  • 5/5 Mandy S. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited for the first time last night. Amazing experience. Seriously, great memories from my childhood with the great game selection. I am in a wheelchair. I felt welcomed and the staff was excellent . It was easy to get around. The drinks were on point and great prices. Highly recommended and will definitely be back! Thank you ❤️

    Bring your inner kid out to play! If you're a classic from the 80s walk memory lane, if you're just taking a peak into the rocking retro decade soak it up. $5 entry, unlimited play. 👏 Can't beat it!👏 Oh! If N/A is your scene enjoy a slush puppy. Thank you, come again!

    This place was amazing, great atmosphere, drinks were served quickly and unlimited arcade gameplay was way more than worth the entry fee though of course I definitely drank enough to keep the business afloat😂. You'll definitely catch me there in the future.

  • 1/5 Sebastian C. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to focus this review on the service of the bartenders. While attending this bar with my wife, she asked for another drink and which was rudely acknowledged. The bartender responded with “you can have a water.” No explanation was given in a short and dismissive town. In the service industry, respect goes a long way. Unfortunately, respect is also expensive and you will not be getting any more income from my wallet. Actions have consequences and I have already shared this unacceptable experience with my friends and family. Please acknowledge a proper way to speak to customers (intoxicated or not).

    Ice cold beer and video games? Count me in. Especially the classics I grew up with. Bartender was great as well. Take a trip back in time and enjoy the atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to quite a few retro arcade bars but the atmosphere of this place definitely makes it stand out from the rest. The drinks taste amazing, the 80s vibe is set perfectly. This place will take you back. If you're in the OKC area this place is a must

    This place never fails to deliver a great time filled with everlasting memories. I highly recommend for the environment, drinks, and music.

  • 5/5 Brittany “Cobain” H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my new favorite pub (it was actually the very first pub I've ever visited)! There is a $5 entrance fee for newcomers, but I absolutely LOVED the retro games idea with a pub, there are a lot of free arcade games to play while drinking with friends and the drinks are great. I definitely recommend coming here with friends if you enjoy retro 90's games and enjoy alchohol!

    Went on a cold Saturday. Great place! High quality and legitimate bar with well placed and serviced retro arcade games. Games are free and there's a small cover to get in. Invisible stamp for re-entry. Named alcoholic drinks that go with the theme. Plenty of workers. Ideal for a date or with many friends. I would add snacks or food though.

  • 5/5 Rissa 2 years ago on Google
    Super cool experience! It's about your typical arcade bar, but honestly, their concept is a lot more friendly than most arcade bars. You pay 5$ at the door per person, and all the games are free! The drinks are a little pricey, but it is totally worth it since you are getting to play the games for free! My husband and I had a blast!
