4 years agoCucumber basil smash is a must have drink. It’s both refreshing and delicious. Quick service by bartenders. Fun games - pool, air hockey, and the punching/kicking bag are great additions. Great atmosphere, great music, and a great experience for anyone looking for something to do in savannah.

2 months agoBartender chose to take personal calls behind the bar instead of serve customers. Dude if you not the owner or on a business get off the damn phone. 📱 you’re bad for business.

9 months agoCame with my two girls (6 & 8), plenty of other kids coming in and out. Bar was perfect, just quick easy drinks, nothing fancy; Christina was excellent. Food is what you remember from 6th grade at the arcade or skating rink with your friends, and so are the games. If you're looking for something fun... Read more

7 months agoHaven't been in a bit but I wanted a good press sandwich, Pen was great. Great service. Got a gauntlet and a push cart. Can't tell what I liked more. Also the games are all working and the cost is low.

6 years agoFun place with some great pinball machines. The bartenders had great specials going on for cheap drinks and we were able to drink and play pinball for over an hour for $12. Can’t beat that at all. My only wish would be that skeeball was a bit cheaper. $1 per play is a tad bit too expensive. Great ti... Read more

3 years agoPretty good bar selection and the prices are good. The video games that did work were fine, but $1 a game..? Even just for the old arcade games. The servers weren’t very friendly. And the bathroom sealed the deal that we won’t be back.

7 years agoSo much fun! Went late at night and it had a great vibe! The staff were upbeat, enthusiastic, and fun! Made me an awesome coffee beverage and service was great. Great arcade games and beverages. My husband and I had a blast playing Gauntlet for hours. :-) Open until at least 2am.

There's like no covid safety practices, so if you're concerned about that, bring some wipes or hand sanitizer. Show less

Interesting arcade in downtown Savannah and similar to other old school arcades popping up around the U.S. which is nice. Since I didn’t spend more than about 15 minutes here my review is not as thorough as others might be. A solid selection of games overall and decent prices for them. The one exception was the baseball game shown here. This was a staple of my childhood and I can recall playing dozens of times. I wish the price was a little lower here as $1 for three outs seems relatively step compared to other options, though it is somewhat understandable as it has a range of physical components requiring upkeep. Overall the place is still worth going to. Show less

5 years agoWe had time to kill on our last night in Savannah and this was definitely the place. Love so many of these old school games! I had fun playing Pac-Man and Ninja Turtles while my husband and a friend played Street Fighter, Pong and many others! Cool little place! Stop by if you love games!

3 years agoThis is a very fun, open, and inviting environment. I got to watch all the arcade cabinets put in from a very humble beginning.

This is a very fun, open, and inviting environment. I got to watch all the arcade cabinets put in from a very humble beginning. My only grievances are that they may have gone a little bit too hard on the pinball machines and a good handful of the machines need some work and WILL eat your quarters (I suggest you ask which ones are guilty of that before playing). The classic CarnEvil machine is busted and that's a sin in itself, but aside from that, it's still a very good time and is always my first recommendation to tourists. My personal favorites there are Time Crisis( I grew up with that), air hockey (in the back), and any racing game, which they have seven of. It is in fact a Barcade so that means alcohol, which they have a healthy selection of, and the bar feed isn't too bad either. All in all, it's my favorite bar downtown to land. It's where I naturally gravitate and where all my favorite people are. Show less

3 months agoThis place was alright. I’ve been to much better arcades in my day. The pinball machine selection was alright, Godzilla didn’t run, and pinball was $1 per play. Too steep for my liking.

8 months agoI came for the pinball, not the ambience. Great selection of machines and other games as well. The bar is convenient for a drink or something light to eat. I was here early in the day, so I did not get to experience night time activity.
