This place is so cool! Awesome arcades that I haven’t seen in decades - love the Indiana Jones and the Street Fighter 2!!They’re also doing a good job during COVID: limiting capacity, adult-only after 7pm, temp check and masks inside unless you’re drinking.Beers are incredible - great draft and can selection from all over.Check Untappd!Will definitely come back when I’m back in town.

Great beers, great games! The staff was super cool and helpful -- even when my boyfriend dropped his jacket behind a game last Friday. Cant go wrong with the tap list.

Yo this place is amazing!! They have so many games available so there is something for everyone. They follow safety guidelines and the staff was incredibly friendly. My fiancé and I were looking for something to go out and do on our day off together that we get once a week and this was definitely what we were looking for! We are probably going to make this our regular hang out spot! If you havent already go check it out! Good selection of drinks too!

Brooo.What a cool bar. Plenty of beers on tap. $7 gets you unlimited access to all the arcade games, and access to the incredible number of gaming consoles available. One of the best ideas for a bar Ive ever seen!Oh, and Austin, it was nice to meet you. Thanks for the Mario Kart.

Awesome arcade bar with great atmosphere. Excellent beer list as well. I expected to see pinball machines but was blown away by the library of console game titles they have as well. They have everything!

This place is cool AF. Fantastic 80s 90s pinball selection including Indiana Jones, T2, Robocop and Nightmare on Elm Street!!! And lots of other arcade and consoles. Great rotating beer selection, nice staff. The location is good too because it’s so close to other fun bars and restaurants. Can’t wait to hit up that NBA Jam.

This is a super good arcade bar. I go to these things in pretty much every city that I visit and this one is probably second only to Ground Kontrol in Portland. Im sure most people would enjoy this arcade but of youre legitimately into retro games, you should get excited about these guys.Its not huge but they have a really great selection of authentic arcade cabinets and pinball. The arcade in West ashveville is really fun too but Level 256 is a better choice if you want to play real games instead of emulators / lcd screens. Good selection of console games too. They seems really dedicated to the history of the games; every cabinet has a printout with the games historical context. All of the machines were in great working condition.

Awesome arcade bar with an extensive tap beer list! They have a lot of classic consoles like the original Xbox, Xbox 360, original playstation, PS2, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64and even a game cube! It really sets them apart from similar arcade bars, and its right on South Slope!! My new favorite place in town!!

Cool idea. Staff acted really weird. Overly strict on mask. Just opened so they havnt gotten their groove. You must pull up your mask in between sips of beer. Bouncer was really awkward. He checked our ID and we walked in and he called at us to get hand sanitizer. Then the bar tender said we didn’t have rust bands so she has to check our ids again.Kinda unorganized***Repy:My friends and I appreciate the dedication to safety, however we do not go to a bar to be chastised about mask in between sips of beer especially when the bartender was talking to the group next to us, and the group had no masks on the whole time. We also don’t mind putting on hand sanitizer, however we didn’t see it and Happily complied we were told to do so, just very awkward environment. It’s now what was said, it’s how it was said.
