Pinballs took tokens without working. Waste of money paying for tokens on machine that don't work.

Update:
I was speaking with the bar owner (Mark) the next day after a quick response to my review. He went out his way to apologize about my experience and to make things more than right, I could ask for no more. Mark is a very respectful owner and I will 100% be back with friends to experience more of the Bar Arcade atmosphere on my next trip to the city!
Original:
Chill bar, bartender was very nice. Drinks were pricey. Unfortunately, went outside for 15 minutes to smoke and when trying to re-enter the bouncer tried to charge cover. Wouldn't even ask the bartender if I was there already. I was told "it's the owners rules, not up to the bartender. " Went next door to bigtide to finish my night, great place with friendly staff

Quite a fun time. We got a pile of coins from the machine only to find out most machines don't require money. Pinball does. Mortal Kombat did to start a game but endless continues after that. I understand they expect to make money on the alcohol. But I only went for the games and left with a pocket full of useless cpins

Great place to grab a beer. We had a good experience going there. The arcade concept is realy fun. Arcade are free to play and the music match the retro time The. Staff is super chill. Comme after 23h if you wanna see the place full.

First time there tonight and I must say, I should have gone sooner. Very friendly staff and good music.

Very cool joint. God knows where they get all those old arcade games and how they keep em running. And you play em for free, pint in hand! (Except pinball which is a buck I think.) Cool atmosphere even when busy as hell. Late night, when it dies down, you can really take a trip down memory lane at the arcade.

I've been here a few times. It's an amazing spot; I love that the games are free so long as you buy drinks. The bar/arcade concept is amazing and should be more of a commodity.
