6 years agoVery chill place. Perfect for gaming. The staff are really nice and let you play until the end of your last game even once closing time has passed with little to no fuss. I love it here.

5 years agoI was there for the NCS for Apex Legends. My team placed 8th place. The place was amazing. You can come in for free play and play any game you want. They don’t have waters but they do have other drinks like Red Bull, Gatorade, etc... I bought a Team Liquid Jersey there for $60. I love it. Definitely... Read more

8 years agoGreat spot with plenty of monitors and comfy seating to play on. Helpful and friendly staff that maintain a well organized and clean events. Plenty of places to watch and play games and this is one of my favorites. Also a lot of great food spots in the area. Looking forward to my next visit.

8 years agoKyle is great dude who runs a great gaming venue. Plenty of seats, monitors, and scrubs. Lol. Including me. Venue fee is Only $10, cheap, pretty solid for what you are getting. If you think it's not a nice spot, just come to our monthly local tournaments. Go For Broke is lit believe me.

It's a pretty cool space, though they're mostly focused on PC/eSports stuff versus consoles.

8 years agoA great spot to hang out if you're a fighting game fan. Doesn't matter if you just want to press buttons with people or level up for the next upcoming tourney. There's tons of cool people to meet who share the same passion as you to the point where it feels like family.

7 years agoLots of fun! As walk-ins, we paid $15 a person for all day. We were able to download and play games of our choice as well as experience VR for $10 a half-hour. Friendly staff, snacks available to buy. Will visit again!

8 years agoBig venue, not cramped like some others I’ve been too. Came to play some fighting games, ended up running a side tournament for Windjammers. Was pleased to see an ever drive 64 and was able to get my Griffey fix while I was there. Cool place with cool people.

Very spacious with room to breathe at the stations; plenty of elbow room and comfortable seats. The place is also event/tourney ready with casting area and stream equipment up and ready whenever; will look to see if anything start happening in the future or possibly host some events. Snacks and drinks available on site as well. Only wish the place was more populated, but did visit on a Sunday. Show less

Tl;dr: really nice staff, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices. Check it out if you enjoy gaming. Went to the grand opening today as part of a school function, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I do game regularly, but rarely competitively, and I think being a big eSports fan would've helped my enjoyment, but it was a really awesome environment. The commentators were energetic and I would love to come back for a tournament I was more invested in. The staff was also really nice, actively helping clear things up. In fact, one of them remembered me and unprompted came up to me and told me when a PC opened, cause I had trouble accessing one earlier (it was Very busy). The PCs are also super nice, and the system that they use for interfacing and tracking your time is super readable and easy to use. As well, the prices to use the machines is extremely reasonable. It makes me wish I lived around Philly so I could visit regularly with friends! Only things to note are that you need to own any non-free-to-play games you want to play there (unless you are just playing with others at the place) and the food is priced above average (it is very good and the low price of machine time makes up for it!) Even if you think you may not enjoy gaming at a professional level, it's priced well enough that you won't be down much if you just check it out while in the area. Show less

This was my first time at a place like this and they made the user experience very easy. The computers have a bunch of the most popular games preinstalled but there is the option to download and play other games from your steam library. The over the ear headphones were very comfortable and there is enough space that most people can spread out a bit. I liked that I could keep track of my time via the app on my phone as well and top up from there if needed. Show less

The price itself is decent, $15 for a whole day if you're non-member. They’re usually pretty empty on weekday. Don’t hesitant because they got almost every kind of video game that you would expect. They also have console if you’re bored with PC. One tip, don’t forget to fill your stomach up before you come because time seems to goes by way faster than you anticipated. Overall 10/10, would come again next time Show less

They have a ton of the most recent gaming hardware and the place is huge and can accommodate full scale esports events. I am looking forward to attending many more events there in the future!
