I finally was able to stop in and check out this place. It’s amazing! They have all the typical«classic» arcade games you remember(or heard about) from the 80s, as well as some more obscure titles you likely don’t remember. The owners have done a fantastic job of re-creating the«feel» of an old arcade. Posters and other bits of retro popular culture are everywhere, which just adds to the nostalgia factor.

We recently had a private birthday party for our 11 year old son and his friends at the The Place. Short version, the kids had a blast and it was a great and reasonably priced venue to have a party. We bought pizza from next door(the owners of the Place have arranged a nice discount for folks having parties there) and everything went very smoothly. Almost every parent who dropped off their child at the party ended up staying or coming back early to play some of the vintage games. Cary the owner is extremely friendly, informative, and helpful. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I would highly recommend The Place for kids’ parties. We have also attended on a weekend evening to stop in and play for an hour, and that was very enjoyable as well. The flat rate is very reasonable and you can come and go from game to game at your leisure, which was great.

A great little classic arcade hang-out! It’s actually been quite a while since I have been here. And I have heard that there are a lot more games then before! The Great thing about this place is that it has about very classic you can think of(Donkey Kong, Q*Bert, Dig Dug, Centipede etc.) even pinball! You can even buy classic console games here and play them! What’s cool, is you pay to get in and then all of the games are on free-play! I just think that is a cool idea. No need for them change machines! If you ever have a chance to stop by, DOIT! IT’S WORTHIT!

Nice family-owned retrocade featuring some great classic games as well as a small selection of fighting/shooting games. They also have a small selection of console games. The owners were very friendly and customer service oriented. The place is a bit crowded and small, and parking is a bit of an issue(although to my knowledge you can park in surrounding businesses lots without too much trouble). Here’s to hoping for a larger location and even more success in the future!

This is a fantastic arcade. They have lots of retro arcade games as well as all of the current video game platforms(Wii, XBox, etc.). For a flat rate you can play as much as you want — no coins or tokens required. It was great to play some of the old favorites like Tron and Pac Man as well as many I had never tried before. This is a family owned and family friendly business. The owners were extremely nice and checked in to make sure we were having a good time. This is a great place to go with a bunch of friends of any age or a fun place to take kids.
