Did not expect to find a place like this in Philly ChinaTown. Its such a cozy hidden underground location you can just go and stay for a couple of hours. Ambaince is dark, chill with good lofi music and snacks to keep you going gaming or just chilling. Gaming Pcs are mid end to high and are pre loaded with pretty much all the popular games with exelent internet/ping. Place is clean and quiet mostly. Went a couple of times when i visited philly after a long day of walking around the city. Its open almost 24/7 and the cost per hour is very cheap. Will miss this place. Staff was super nice too and knowledgable. @jaxiedoggo Show less

7 months agoTAP hosted a LAN tournament for a bunch of us middle aged sweaty nerds. Couldn't recommend it enough - the staff was friendly and accommodating for all ~75 of us over three days. Bathrooms were kept clean and the PCs ran well. Thanks for hosting us!!!

7 months agoAmazing place to hold LAN events. I was apart of the World Series of DoD recently and it was a huge success, and TAP played no small part in that. All the staff were very accommodating for the entire weekend. Thanks again and hopefully we come back again soon :)

me and my boyfriend went here for a date, and the only reason i gave it a 4 is because of certain games not working; which we did fix with redownloading it again but just in case. however, they do have usb ports for you if you want to bring your controller and use that to play a game! my bf brought some and he had no problem. the prices seem pretty good too, considering it’s $5 an hour (we went for 2). the headphones were pretty good quality and mostly soundproof, i just wish there’s a way to soundproof some rooms cause you can hear some rooms nearby screaming (we sat closest to a private room). do recommend to try it out!

Nice cool ambiance, other than it actually being underground it does have that underground feel to it. Prices are fair and you get a good deal of options on the pcs. You could easily spend hours there! Nice and convenient place if you’re bored and want some entertainment, also has snacks and cup noodles. They play music there, but it’s okay music I think it depends on the person working. Overall it’s worth the visit! Show less

i come here all the time and have a decent time for the most part. just truly wish a place that puts so much money into tech would at least have a somewhat okay bathroom? it’s seriously hellish in there and the floor is broken. i had to use a passcode to get into it and gagged as soon as i opened the door. it seriously looks like no one has cleaned it in months let alone ever. besides the bathroom though the actual inside is nice. cool lighting and lots of pc’s to play at. there unfortunately isn’t much they can do about the rowdier people that come in screaming profanities and slamming on the table, so just keep that in mind while you’re there that it doesn’t always have the safest vibe. it’s a good inexpensive option for those that want to get into pc gaming but can’t afford to buy their own setup! they also upgraded the chairs recently and they’re much comfier than the previous ones 👌🏼 Show less

Then when I was having trouble using one of the provided accounts (which was advertised as available) they said just use your own. Zero help with computer and account issues, they acted like every interaction was a hindrance. Don’t order the ramen because it will take 20 minutes to get a cup of noodles. Show less
