This is the greatest place I’ve been to in my life. You got pinball, mortal kombat, tron, can it get any better than that!? Yes it can! The Mario is the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten and the deviled eggs are to die for. I make it my goal to get the Mario every week or else I lose my mind. Great addition to Savannah and will be here constantly every day I can make it

Great new addition to the heart of historic downtown savannah. Fun classic games and a family friendly atmosphere. Great place to stop for a snack and escape the savannah heat. Be sure to try the gourmet deviled eggs.

Awesome place. Brings back old memories. Staff and bartenders were awesome and very friendly. I love the old school games. We need to get a Marvel vs Street Fighter tournament going sometime.

24hr breakfast and 80’s arcade games, what’s not to love?! Thankfully the hotel we stay at in Savannah is very close so we’ll be back soon!

Great place little cramped but overall a great arcade! Dollar plays for the pin ball machines Rush, Godzilla, Batman, AC/DC. Good drinks with a friendly bartender. He also had great taste in choosing movies to display, the classic Conan the barbarian while we played pool. Couldn’t ask for a better night. 🍻 Cheers

This place is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! One of the perks I LOVE about this place is the fact that it is kid friendly!!! My 4 yr old niece and I come here every other weekend, and have developed a repore with the staff!! They are so nice and friendly!!! The hospitality at this place is off the scale!!! If you are looking me place to hang out with the kids, but still do adult activities, I HIGHLY recommend this place, especially if you’re in to games!!!!

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.

A little small and grimy, but still a good time! Some of the games accept credit card but there are a good portion that are cash only so definitely bring your dollars! Pro tip: if the start button light on a pinball machine is flashing green, there’s a free play loaded on it… press start and you get a game for free 😋

This place is definitely a dive bar but it's really cool. It's a little crowded with people and the machines, but oh man they've got so many good machines. It's like $1 for one set of pinball, but $2 for 3x the play on the machine. They have an ATM machine inside and a coin machine. I wouldn't say this place is super clean, but the bathroom was definitely usable and I did feel comfortable in there. There's like no covid safety practices, so if you're concerned about that, bring some wipes or hand sanitizer.

In town for a quick trip and needed to occupy myself and 16 year old son for a couple of hours. This place was killer. Can't wait to get back and update some high scores. Only complaint is not enough cup holders on the machines. We'll be back for sure.

We 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!

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.

So 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.

Cucumber 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.

Fun 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 times and will come back.
