    Retro 80's done well. Games were exactly what you remember from the arcade as a young GenX'er, except without the sticky pop film. It brought back great memories. Food was awesome as well, and a nice selection of beers on tap.

    The ambience is such a fun "way-back playback" to my high school days. I enjoyed the vibe a lot. The service was really good. The burger & fries was awesome. Even the bathroom was clean and nice. The volume was a little loud in general, but I'm more sensitive to that than most people. It's a fun spot to go on a date, or hang out with friends.

    What's not to love here. Tons of classic cabinets and a great selection of craft beer. This fulfills my childhood desire to have enough quarters to play to my hearts content and my adult desire to sip delicious Nut Crusher from Wild Ride while playing four player X-men. Total gem on Salem and so happy to be recommended to stop by Victoria at Willamette Valley Vineyards.

    This place is such a great casual place to hang out and have some beers. I had a pulled pork sandwich recently and it was great! My server Alex suggested it along with her other favorites and it was very helpful. Their fries were also seasoned very well and paired with their balsamic ketchup were a delight to eat. The decor is all very retro and adds a great vibe together with all the old-school arcade cabinet games. There are also newer games in the back for people of all kinds. If you have 3 friends and want to have an epic battle, the 4 person Pac-man game always gets the adrenaline going!

    Great place for two 30-something kids-at-heart to celebrate an anniversary. We had so much fun, particularly with the air hockey table and pinball machines (they have an Iron Maiden pinball game!). The games were all in excellent working order, the place was clean, and the bartender was friendly. It was too rainy to ride bikes, but I did stop to appreciate the Pac Man racks outside. The only potential improvement would be a DDR setup. Just saying.

    Had a small confrontation with another guest (whim we didn't know ans whom conformed us first) after we tried to delete the situation one of the servers/bartenders came up and asked the guys to leave. After the confrontational guest left. Another server/bartender came up to our group to make sure we were okay. Great service great drinks fun games and over all great vibe

    My go to spot in Salem, OR. A classic beercade with a good selection of machines to keep you busy for hours. They have a good selection of bar food and rotate machines on a seemingly mysterious basis. 10/10 will always be coming here!

    Small selection of beer but decent/small pub food menu. Decent cider selection as well. But of course the main reason you're here is to play arcade games you remember growing up as well as some more modern ones while drinking adult beverages! Cup holders on the games to help in that regard. Games aren't cheap but $20 of quarters can keep 2 of us busy for an hour and a half.

    My son and I went downtown shopping. He just turned 21 and thought it would be neat to take me here. Why because I grew up with the games, lol. I played Pole Position and got 2nd place he was like, How did you do that? Told him yep you were right I grew up with these, lol. He bragged to everyone. Great Fun, Great Food!!

    I didn't eat here but drank and placed video games. It may have been more fun than Dave n Busters due to the nostalgia of 80's and 90's video games and not paying a ginormous amount for a drink. My husband and I had a great time and will definitely be back! Can't wait to try the food as the menΓΊ looked great!

    This place is really cool, good food and drinks, some really awesome games and very nice staff. The only (small) downside was that there wasn't a couch like in the photos on here. There were only high tables and barstools. Not everyone is able to sit on those high barstools, so that kind of sucked. Otherwise, it was a cool place. My husband had a lot of fun for his birthday :)

  • 5/5 Charlene C. 2 years ago on Google
    We absolutely loved it here! Brought back so many memories of the older games we played as kids...and the games we played only took a quarter to play which was great! The place was a little crowded because it's that amazing! Will definitely return....what a great idea , old school games, liquor and great music....who wouldn't want to hang out here?

  • 4/5 Greg N. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 David W. 4 years ago on Google
    Alot of fun with drinks and food!

  • 5/5 Karl P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for food and fun! Best Scotch Egg I have ever had. It is home made, solid sausage coating and the soft boiled egg is cooked to perfection. If you like Scotch Eggs, you need to stop by just for that, you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Rochelle T. 2 years ago on Google
    Super fun environment. They have a cooling strip throughout the bar to keep your beverages cold while you eat. I've never seen that before. Staff is friendly and speedy. You can just go to play the arcade games and they even have some that are open for free play.

  • 4/5 Ayaka 4 years ago on Google
    Very nostalgic!

  • 5/5 Isaac F. 1 year ago on Google
    Every time I come here, it's hard to leave the place. Food is killer, great service and staff. All the games I wanted to play were in clean and in good working order. It can get a lil packed but still a good time, every time. If you love great food and old school arcade games, pinball machines, etc...hit this place up!

  • 5/5 Mr F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome! The drinks the games the fun! The food is also good! And they take quarters.

  • 4/5 Yulia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to play games. Takes a long time to get a drink. Can be little bit musty in there with a lot of people 🀣 so come prepared. Guy checking IDs was nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Jared V. 1 year ago on Google
    Coin Jam is a blast! Super fun place to spend an evening playing games, eating great food, and having drinks too. Their customer service is great and the selection of games, beverages, and food is spot on. It’s a great place for a small or large group.

  • 5/5 Nati S. 10 months ago on Google
    First time here, and it is a really chill atmosphere. I enjoyed my time. Didn't get to play in the arcades, but will definitely be back. We had their fries and they were good, a bit salty but once you have it with the beer, it all makes sense. Customer service was top notch. Loved it ! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Caleb H. 1 year ago on Google
    Yup notch atmosphere, service and food. You can tell that this place is owned and operated by a real enthusiast. The attention to detail and scale of both the collectibles and the games can really only be put together over a lifetime and with a passion. Good job! Keep up the good work. πŸ•ΉοΈ

  • 5/5 Emily S. 10 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to go, delicious food, games and simple ciders/beers. Perfect for a casual layed back outing. Usually very busy and crowded which can be overwhelming to some. I highly suggest the pork belly tacos I get them every time I go!

  • 5/5 Andrea E. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place!! I took my sister and best friend since they have never been there and they loved it. The arcade games brought on nostalgia from when we were younger and the smothered fries were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend if you want a laid back place to have a couple drinks, some good food and fun.

  • 5/5 trevor t. 11 months ago on Google
    Always a hundred stars! If I could rate this place a 10 I would! You got a date this is the place to go in Salem or anywhere near.. I have been going here since 2016! Prices have gone up, but so has rent.. worth every penny still!! I highly recommend πŸ‘Œ

  • 5/5 Andrew 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to go with friends or on a date! Their food menu isn't that large, but everything I've had there is delicious and reasonably priced. They have a fantastic selection of games, ranging from classics that are 30+ years old to some that are more recent.

  • 5/5 Garrett 8 months ago on Google
    Excellence prices on games and quite comparable to other arcades. Quite an extensive collection of drinks in the cooler and on tap. The games were fun and a great collection of old and new games for the arcade connoisseur. I appreciated the customer service and fun menu of bar food. Will absolutely be back to enjoy the atmosphere and collection of games with more friends and family. Thanks again!

  • 4/5 L. S. 8 months ago on Google
    Love coming to coin jam. Pork Belly tacos are my favorite. Wish they would bring the tots back. Friendly staff, great place to go and have fun.

  • 5/5 Brad M. 6 months ago on Google
    Food is fantastic, try the pork tacos, games are fun and there are cup holders everywhere. I recommend bringing friends to play the 4-person Mario cart game.

  • 4/5 John B. 6 months ago on Google
    The service left a little to be desired, but that said the food was delicious and it was an awesome bar with awesome games. Very nostalgic if you are a gen x gamer. Great place for a fun night out.

  • 5/5 Sheenah J. 9 months ago on Google
    Great service, food was delicious, got chicken bacon ranch fries with some sort or parm sauce on it and bacon mac and cheese that was super cheesy and fresh garlic taste. Smothered fries looked awesome would like to get next time. Has pork Verde on them. Tried the sliders and the beef was flavorful, the bun was soft and not dried out like sliders can sometimes be.

  • 5/5 Nate K. 3 years ago on Google

    This place is really cool. Good beer, good food, fun games. All around a good time.

  • 5/5 Anne H. 4 years ago on Google
    Loads of pinball machines. Fun new games and classic old ones. Descent food menu too. Taps don’t rotate much, have an ok selection of craft beer on draft, but have a solid cooler of canned cider and beer to choose from.

  • 4/5 Alicia P. 4 years ago on Google

    Mac n cheese is to die for. Honestly some of the best I've had. Cheese fries are really good too.

  • 4/5 Nathan H. 4 years ago on Google
    What a trip to your 1980's childhood! Food seems to have a Scottish flare. It's good. Good beer selection. They have coin dispensers. It's easy to spend money there!

  • 5/5 Jennifer E. 3 years ago on Google

    What a cool place, you can play arcade games while having a beer. Food is great, waitstaff are super friendly. Fun atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Coneydub C. 4 years ago on Google
    Relaxed and inviting room with TONS of arcade games and pinball. Whatever your favorite game from back in the day is, they probably have it. I personally liked seeing The Simpsons, Area 54, Time Cop, and they even had Rampage! Plenty to do, probably good for small groups too

  • 5/5 Glenn B. 4 years ago on Google
    The games are fun and the food is fresh. The beers are fair priced and get there for the happy hour for the best deal on drinks. The 3D pong is crazy fun. The decor is wonderful. That Han Solo freezer is amazing

  • 4/5 Krer G. 4 years ago on Google
    As with all arcades it's a little on the noisy side, but they got a decent pinball selection and I would figure pretty good on the alcohol too. Food is above average

  • 5/5 Jake 4 years ago on Google
    What nostalgia, jeez! I forgot how fun arcades were, and this is definitely more of a proper arcade you remember from back when than Dave and Buster's or the like. Good drinks, good food, and a rad selection of games, it seems to be a pretty popular spot! We'll for sure be back to burn pocketfuls of quarters.

  • 5/5 Tammie K. W. 5 years ago on Google
    Good food, prepared quickly. Servers are friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers and arcade games.

  • 5/5 Ramon G. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is always good, but we drive there for the balsamic ketchup and fries. Yummy yum yum.

  • 4/5 Les B. 4 years ago on Google
    We really love coming in here for a few rounds of games and beers while walking around Salem. Old classic arcade games that have been refurbished and brought to the 21st century as well as new-age graphic blockbusters.

  • 5/5 Alyssa D. 4 years ago on Google
    So much fun and a great group of people we were lucky to have behind the counter. I had a big ice cream cake for my partners birthday and they cleared out their freezer to stash it for me, cut it and brought out the plates and silverware. We'll definitely be going back for some more memories.

  • 5/5 Jordan W. 4 years ago on Google
