      Love this spot!

      It's my go-to for craft beer and Golden Tee. Always has a great selection of craft brews, including many local/in-state options.

      Also love getting my fix of N64 fun like Mario Kart or Bond, which is free like many of their other gaming options.

      Service is always on point, too!

      Cheers!

      Poor excuse for a "barcade." Two rundown Pinball machines, overpriced Skeeball, an air hockey table, an N64, and the 1UP Arcade games you can purchase from Best Buy. The 1UP games and N64 are free to play, so that's a small plus.

      It would be forgivable if the staff was anywhere near decent. My girlfriend and I were standing behind two women who I thought were taking a while to order. Nope--the bartender (or owner?) was either hitting on them or maybe just making conversation and offered their first drink for free as "first-timers."

      It took about 15 minutes until we were even acknowledged--and that was for just getting a canned drink. The other bartender was making hotdogs and seemed inconvenienced by our sheer presence--whether it was asking for a drink or change to play pinball. Just a rude dude.

      We played two games of pinball, had one drink each, and left.

      There are better choices out there, but I guess if you're drunk in downtown and feel like playing Mario Kart 64, go here? Just don't expect to be blown away by the "arcade" or service.

      I would normally give this place one star, but adding an extra one for the nice drink selection.

      This place was a cool place with great beer when trying to avoid tourists! Very laid back with lots of fun old school games, pinball, air hockey, and ski ball! Bartender was extremely cool and friendly. Loved the vibes and will be back again!

      An arcade bar with large selection of games and a community feel. If you are passing through you need to check this place out, and if you live here you should become a regular. The draft list always is changing and the beertenders are always quick and friendly with suggestions. Stop in, have a beer and play a game!

      One of my favorite places in st Pete! They always have a good selection of beers and a great selection of games (golden tee is my favorite). The staff is always incredibly friendly and the owner is usually around which is cool to see.

      This place is a nightmare. They call themselves an arcade bar, but they have the worst games ever. They are all cheap knock-offs from Walmart that barely function or rigged machines that steal your money. The staff are useless and dishonest, they won't refund you or fix anything, they act like serving you is a major inconvenience. The owner is a creep who only cares about hitting on young girls. The bar is filthy and disgusting, the beers are awful and expensive. They keep changing the layout of the place, so you never know where to find anything. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. It's a waste of time and money.
