Had a lady come up to us and rudely let us know you have to purchase a beverage to play pinball which was already a dollar a game. Wouldn't have had a problem with this except for the lady was so extremely cold and rude. Also the male bartender gave judgemental vibes. I wasn't dressed up just regular clothes but for some reason I just didnt like the atmosphere at all. Did not tip and wouldn't recommend although the one high point of the day is that the pinball machines were very well maintained. Other than that the atmosphere was a dud and I wouldn't recommend Show less

We heard about this place through someone who competes in tournaments here, and compared to other similar spots, this place is a real gem.

We heard about this place through someone who competes in tournaments here, and compared to other similar spots, this place is a real gem. It’s clean, spacious, and packed with well-loved games that feel curated, not random. and the pinball machines are in top condition! We got a chance to chat briefly with the owner, and you can immediately tell he genuinely cares about the space and the experience, which really sets this place apart. We had a great time overall, and some of the games gave us that nostalgic, walking-down-memory-lane feeling. Definitely worth checking out. One drink for unlimited games? Say less lol Show less

Wow. As a kid growing up loving arcade games this place has it all. Mostly beer a few cocktails. But games ohhhhh my it's has original Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, Killer Instinct, Tron, Ghost and Goblins, Defender, Burger Time it even has Punch Out and it has plenty of Pinball machines. A excellent blast from the past I thought I was 10 again. Oh it has Mortal Kombat II also. I can go on and on you must go check them out. Buy plenty of beer and snacks because the games are absolutely free. Please support them as I hope they are around for a long time to come. Show less

There are a few of these types of places popping up. This one is a phenomenal concept. They have some game systems set up with more contemporary games, a ton of old school, and then there is pinball.

Tappers was nostalgia in a bottle. So many classic arcade games that instantly brought me back to my childhood. Games are free to play with a beverage purchase. Beverages have fun names related to various video games and pulp culture references. The layout of the facility is easy to navigate as the games are spaced out in a ring around the bar with custom wooden tables for your drinks between each machine. Impressive pulp culture references are airbrush painted on the walls. A killer lineup of new pinball machines in the backroom are waiting for you. While not included in the free play, they are a blast too with many different movie/show references. Plenty of seating if you get tired crushing it on Contra or Street Fighter II. There is a handicap accessible ramp to the pinball area and bathrooms were very nice. I suggest coming here after you have a meal elsewhere as they don't really have a full food menu and I'm guessing that if to keep the arcade machines from getting gross. Lastly upfront near the entrance, they have console based games including Super Nintendo N64. They even have some of the classic table top games like you would have seen in Pizza Hut from the 70s/80s. A great find here in Indy! Show less
