Very nice place! Bar had large variety on tap and the bartender was very polite. Wide selection of games and pinball machines. Pinball costs $0.50 at the minimum to play, but being to play all the other machines after getting a single beer is well worth it. All machines seemed in good working order!

This place was really fun! The drinks were delicious and you are able to order delivery from the pizza place next door. The gimmick of this bar is the vast array of old arcade games and pinball machines. (Most are free but i think the pinball machines were pay-to-play.) They even have ski-ball! I had a lot of fun, and was pretty much glued to pac-man the whole time i was here. The bartender was really nice and the restroom was clean.

This is the best place ever. What could be better than free arcade games? That's right, all the games, except for the pinball machines, were free. They even have Mario Kart Arcade GP! Of course it is recommended that you buy a drink so they can stay in business, but still! Plus they have a super cool super Mario mural outside. I will definitely be coming back here! 10/10 for sure. I would definitely recommend House of the Dead and the Mega Man fighting game.

Great craft beers. Decent selection of video games. Not quite enough places to put your drink and keep an eye on it while playing. I wish the pinball games were also set to free play.

One of the top video game bars in Dayton, especially now that they switched their games to free to play! Except of course for the pinball and skeet ball machines. But with an impressive beer selection and a pizza shop that delivers to the bar and with friendly, helpful staff this place is definitely among my recommendations. It is just about 3 blocks from downtown, but much like everything else in Dayton it still is quite close to the rest of the bars. The only improvement would be to be in downtown, but overall I certainly recommend a visit!

This place was great. We got to play some awesome classic arcade machines that brought back memories all while enjoying great drinks. The mural on the building was awesome.
