    Such a special spot in the real heart of Prague! Situated in the underground in the end of a passage. Cool especially for younger guests, many gaming machines for fun (that's why the name of the bar). Great choice of drinks and even some food. Nice staff. Have been there several times and will definitely come back.

    Coming from Seattle, the expectations for pinball bars are high and Joystick deserves to be mentioned as a great pinball bar. Their machines were in great condition and they had Who Dunnit? Which is a super difficult-to -find machine. It played fantastically. The beers and ciders are also well priced and delicious. Amazing artwork inside as well. It's a great spot the first time i visited in 2021 and two years later it's still awesome.

    Great memories; i had here my second date with my now husband. Good tequila… it’s perfect place for hang outs especially when you’re fan of old school games.

    1 credit for a pinball is now 20 CZK, it used to be 10 CZK. Absolutely not justified. Money hungry establishment. Will not support this business in the future unless it goes back to 10 CZK. When you're not doing well one game of pinball could be less than 5 minutes. I'd rather spend 100 CZK and have some fun, but I only spent 60 CZK and left.

    Good arcade, some machines are broken but it’s still a good place to hang out for a while and have fun playing good old games. It also has a bar so you can drink something while you play.

    One of the best bar I've ever been at. Really good beer, amazing entertainment for any gamer and a really nice service. I would recommend to anyone who went to Prague and is interested in good drinks and some gaming, but be prepared to spend some money.

    Fun place, however lot of machines were not plugged in, so it was mostly pinball machines. The bathroom could smell less like a urine pool, and it would be great if they served Moscow Mule with Ginger Ale instead of Ginger Beer as it is stated in the menu! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Somewhat overrated bar with ¼ non-functioning video game machines, and oily pinball machine contact corners. Please clean them up with wet sponges and detergents before your opening times, EVERY SINGLE DAY. Many video game joysticks show wear and tear, jamming up when aimed at certain directions. With flickering display screens notwithstanding. One thumb up, one thumb down. Nice beer prices though.

    Ace is a little place and the arcades are incredibly cheap What more could you ask for than some pinball and pints

    Great place, but lack of exposure since we would never found it if locals weren't there with us. Machines accept only 10kč which can be exchanged in the counter.

    Fun place! I was here more than once, great games that take you back to old times, not too crowded and machines to help u get some change to keep playing. Their house beer was enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Juan Fernando Q. 1 year ago on Google
    This places is something I will remember for a long long time, wishing I have one like this close home. The beer and the cocktails are cheap and extraordinary, which is a great bonus. The music is a combination of old rock and pop with some 2000s vibes. But the main attraction are all the retro games and arcades you can play with your friend and have a blast! Arriving is not easy, I would even say a bit scary if you have never gone before, but this place is worth checking if you are at Prague!

  • 5/5 Eugenia K. 1 year ago on Google
    A fun arcade bar that is hidden in Prague. Once you figure out how to get there and go in, its a fun place to grab couple of beers and play games. A chill arcade bar and very spacious. Service was great!

  • 4/5 Jeff N. 8 months ago on Google
    I didn’t have food there so I can’t rate it. The bartender was great, the vibe was good. The arcades were fine but they had a limited/ smaller selection. If you are looking for an arcade bar to have a drink and play some arcades to reminisce about your childhood, then this place is a decent spot to go to

  • 5/5 David J. 7 months ago on Google
    Great bar! You can have a lot of fun there! Good beer, prices little high but considering this place is next to main square it is understandable. I recommend going there on workdays when it is not so crowded in there!

    Komme aus Stuttgart und hab da gerne während meine Freundin einkaufen war meine Zeit verbracht. Habe für 1,5h 4-5€ für Flipper ausgegeben. Einen Wechselautomaten gibt es ebenfalls. Der Eingang kam mir zuerst komisch vor aber als ich drinnen Stand ging mir das Herz auf

  • 5/5 Lars K. 7 months ago on Google
    Sehr coole Bar mit vielen Old-School Flipperautomaten und sonstigen Arcade Spielen. Wer nicht mehr mag, kann sich an den Tischen ausruhen. Das Drinkmenü ist ebenfalls ausreichend gross und abwechslungsreich, um den Aufenthalt gut abzurunden. Definitiv ein Geheimtipp und Besuch wert!

  • 5/5 Chantelle B. 6 months ago on Google
    Look, it's an underground bar with a bunch of different arcade games to play and a dance machine :D been here many times and it's not the 'cleanest/nicest' of places so don't expect something fancy... but it is a SUPER GREAT place, nice staff, decent drinks, good games and did I mention the dance machine! :D

  • 2/5 Aki K. 10 months ago on Google
    Olisin toivonut että pelit olisivat olleet ilmaisia. Musiikki oli aivan kauheaa ja tunnelma hävisi kokonaan. Pelit itsessään olivat ihan ok.

  • 3/5 Tiina K. 10 months ago on Google
    Otin oluen. Olut oli hyvää. Pelit oli halpoja. Asiakaspalvelu asiallista. Tunnelma ei ollut minun makuuni

  • 5/5 Thilo M. 5 months ago on Google
    Arcade games at ist best. Friendly staff, cool ambient, kind guests, a playful community of retro excited lovely people from all over the world. A must do in Prague

  • 3/5 Frankie 4 months ago on Google
    Too many of the arcade machines were down. It is also has quite expensive beer considering the pinball machines and many other arcades require more than 1 coin to play. It’s still a nice place to hang out. Probably 3.5 to 3.75 place, but can’t give partial stars as a review.

  • 3/5 Kam L. 4 years ago on Google
    The place was easy find using google maps and it's pretty centrally located it's only like a 5 minute walk from the high street. The drinks and good and the prices are reasonable. The machines are 10Kc and 20Kc for the pinball ones which is cheap. If you're into your arcade games I'd recommend popping down but there isn't much of a variation of machines, I've been to similar places in the UK and one in Krakow and they all had a lot more availability. The staff are friendly too which is a bonus, I'm glad I went it's a good place to kill an hour.

    What an amazing place, hidden away down an alley you'd never no it was there, great pin balls and arcades, and nice drinks as well at really good prices, bar staff really friendly also, didn't want too leave, if your going to Prague definitely pay this place a visit 👌👌

  • 5/5 Petra J. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome underground bar and arcade games place. Wonderful helpful and supernice staff. Had fun👌🏻

  • 5/5 Herr W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, some machines were under repair but that happens, more than enough were available at most times. great prices and nice and polite staff. you can exchange coins at the Bar.

  • 4/5 Alisa K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's got a nice oldie aesthetic. Not a huge variety of game machines, but it's still a nice atmosphere. Good for a local hangout. Chilly in the summer and cozy in the winter. I like the Mortal Combat. Cool toilet too

  • 5/5 Jakub D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cheap drinks, underground atmosphere. Plenty of machines to play on. You need cash, they don't accept cards, but machines are quite cheap, costing on average 20 CZK/game.

  • 3/5 Kedhrin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really wish this place was as awesome as it could be (or once was). Almost all machines were not opeeating, and almost all arcades were replaced with pinball. It was really smelly (prob other customers not wearing deodorant) but it was also super hot, which was making the other customers stink. So just wasn't comfortable. They could have had most arcades off because of the heat.

  • 4/5 Stephen M (. 1 year ago on Google
    Great find in the centre of Prague, atmosphere is alwasy electric although not all the games are always working...unless you like pinball that is. Good selection of beers too and not stupid priced, would be amazing if they got more table football tables in too!

  • 5/5 Daniel T. 1 year ago on Google
    High energy and stimulation arcade game bar wirh friendly staff and plenty of nonalcoholic drinks available

  • 5/5 Samuel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful underground bar, lots of old school game machines (pinballs, dance dance revolution, motorcycles…) Great beer, nice staff. Order at the bar, bring cash to exchange for tokens to play and have fun!

  • 5/5 Flo 2 years ago on Google
    Immensely enjoyed the two times I've visited so far. Sure some machines are out of order but I spent hours playing random games anyways and didn't even play half of it. Apart from that, great personell and affordable drinks.

  • 5/5 Martina F. 2 years ago on Google
    Super nice place for video games and drinks.
