Me and my boyfriend go here and 1up quite a bit. Almost always a really amazing experience! On Halloween we were unable to go to 1up with the restrictions, but we were able to go here still. Yeah the restrictions are kind of lame sure, but I get it and its nobodys fault. We ended up having a pretty great time and the workers were outstanding. The lady that gave our game card was really nice and cool!

At first entering the building was confusing & getting a server was too. However, the food won me over, the Cubano was so delicious! The mermaid drink was SO good, but $13 for the size of the skinny glass I got, not worth it and I wanted another too.

Nice selection of games. Didnt see many down and out of order. Only issue is the min $10 for a game card. Some of these machines are rare to see in the US and it sucks you have to pay so much when your only wanting to give it a quick play. Granted, you can use the card later but everyone already carries enough of those around. Their racing game collection is quite simply the best I have seen in the US. But no initial D or Wangan Midnight Maximum tune? Your killing me smalls.

Was looking for a fun bar to go to on vacation. Went on a Friday I believe and the place was pretty slow so it was a free for all on the games! So mich fun!

We had so much fun here. So many games, and fun prizes. We came and played for a few hours, it was a fun date night spot when its cold a snowy outside.

This place is crawling with people. They’re everywhere. We kept rolling back and forth between the bowling area because they are connected. We showed up, ordered drinks, reserved a lane, then bought points for the arcade and waited until we were called. Ordering drinks, ordering food, this was one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time. It felt like we were in ‘safe Vegas’ for the evening, haha. This is a place worth spending the whole evening and enjoying the surrounding area while you wait for a lane.

We had a really fun afternoon at FTW, playing all the arcade games. It was a simple enough process with getting a card, loading it up, and using that card to play the games. Downside is that some of the games are a downright rip off for what you actually get to do. Time Crisis ended up taking most of our money when we ended up playing for 20 minutes. Really fun afternoon feeling like kids, and we went through to the bar afterwards for a well deserved drink.

Amazing date night with my husband. An adult arcade was the perfect end to a magical evening.

Went here on a Saturday night, with six friends. What a great time, it’s got classic arcade games all the way up to modern day battle spheres. Best part was it’s family friendly, but they have a full bar. Smaller and less crowded than a Dave and Busters, with a great staff. Never had to wait for a drink, or a game that we wanted to play. Good for groups or a couples night. Hit me up!

A blast and great place to start an evening or just hang out. Try the cauliflower crust pizza. So good.

We just went in for the arcade. Enjoyed ourselves, but as usual the card based token system always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. I prefer to know how much Im spending, but that might not bother everyone. Also, my one actual complaint would be that some games dont give tickets, but you wont know which ones until you finish the game and dont get any.

Staff was great! Lots of new games, lanes were clean, good ambience and folks there. A little on the costly side but well worthwhile considering how well the staff served us. Thanks!

Review №18

Many of the games were either out of order or partially worked. The only reason for 3 stars and not 1star is because the place used to be better. I left feeling ripped off and the family was disappointed. Hopefully they fix the machines otherwise we will find a different arcade to spend our money.

Got a couple of friends together and we went here.. theres an arcade and a bowling alley. The alley was booked for like 3 hours out... Definitely wanna plan in advance for that, but we played shuffleboard instead. Food was amazing too. All in all? 5 stars (despite the wait for the alley, we never went in)

Went for a friends birthday... Highly disappointed! Eli was cool. A Very attentive waiter. His speed on the extra ranch dressing was the most impressive thing I can mention. This place was hella pricey, especially compared to 1up in DTC or Dave & Busters ... VERY limited menu, limited games, limited everything. I spent $150 here.. between the $100 card to play, that I unfortunately opted for.. and spent $50 for 2 wings/fries baskets and 4 shots... (B-Dubs equivalent of two snack sized wing combos/2 TALLBEERS AND 2SHOTS)... We WILL NOT BE BACK UNLESS THEY WANNA COMP DINNER/PLAY AT EQUAL TO MY RECEIPTS FROM THAT NIGHT!!!!

I absolutely love this place! Its perfect for adults and children. I bring my 16 and 17 year olds here and they love it. Me and my husband have just as much fun. There are so many games to play, its huge, oh and you can drink while youre playing if your over 21. Having the bar/ restaurant attached makes it awesome. I highly recommend this place.

FTW / Lucky strike is the best spot on 16th for good family time! The arcade is amazing, very clean and has a great variety of games.Gamer Hack: Always go for the bonus when uploading your card, its a great deal for extra coins!

I bought a game card for $31, but no value was on the card.Spoke with management, they had me buy another card for another $31. They said it would fall off in a couple days, and if it didnt, to call and speak to the manager for a refund.It didnt fall off. I called and they took down my number. I never got a call back and I never got my refund for the card that had no value on it.

Review №32

This is an amazing place! Its an adult arcade (children also allowed), similar to Dave and Busters or Main Event. You load up a card for credits to play games. The price is very reasonable, as what we normally pay at Dave and Busters or Main Event lasted us two days.Connected to this is Lucky Strike, which I reviewed separately as five stars, but this is the quick review- Luckily Strike has bowling, pool, ping pong, and shuffle board. They also have food and a full bar. Drinks from Lucky Strike can be taken into FTW.I definitely recommend both places.

Managed to spend $80+ here before we were kicked out for “loitering”. My wife and I got drinks at the bar while waiting for our friend. I was taking pictures of our friend PLAYING games (using tickets we BOUGHT) when an employee came over and told us pictures weren’t allowed and said we were loitering. No one else was in our photos nor was the arcade busy- only about 3 other patrons were present. I asked to speak to a manager and the employee returns without a manager and just says the same thing again (can’t be here because we we’re “loitering”). WATCH OUT IF YOU TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR FRIENDS HERE- YOU WILL BE REMOVED. I would understand if I came here with huge strobes and softboxes and a crew of people getting in the way of customers but I didn’t. I literally had a regular camera and there were only 3 of us total!!!!! It’s a shame because we wanted to get food and alcohol when we were done at the arcade! We would’ve spent over $200 if we were allowed to stay. Instead, we are never returning here and we are NOT going to recommend this place to ANYONE. If you don’t want photos taken at your place of business, you should have signs up. I own and manage 3 businesses. This is ridiculous.

Love this place! We live nearby so were hear often. They have a huge Pac Man game and the games to get points on to win a prize are fairly easy to win at, they have a pic booth that has multiple country settings and 4 seating Mario Kart. Great place to enjoy and then get ice cream on the 1st level at 5280.

Ordered 2 burgers.. just burgers and fries nothing special. We were told we could seat ourselves. Sat at a booth, waiter was friendly, business was slow maybe 3 other couples in the bar area. Nice big screens if you wanna watch sports. The food took 1 hour... for 2 burgers.. burgers were bland and the soda was flat. The waiter could have checked on us a bit more, we had to call him over to get a refill on my water. By this time we didnt have time to play in the arcade area because our meter was expiring.. 2 hr limit. I expected it to be slow service but didnt expect to wait 1 hr for 2 burgers when it was as slow as it was. Cant review the lucky strike area, didnt have any time to look over there. Arcade area wasnt bad, clean, new games... but disappointed with the food.

This location is located on the 16th st mall. It has a massive gameroom and the ticket/ prize exchange is ok. Kind of small and over priced but there is a few good prizes. They have a full bar and a bowling alley. Table tennis and shuffle board is also there. After 10 pm its 21 and up so you can guarantee no kids clogging games and you can be free to move around. The bathrooms are big so no waiting to go. The only problem is that the customer service desk was closed at the time I went and it directed me to the kiosk to buy my game card. It was the first time so i didnt know where to go or what to do and there were no employees around. I figured it out on my own. When we were leaving I asked the host what the Christmas hours were and she pointed to the door which there is no holiday hours there. Then while i was still talking she started talking to another customer that walked up after me. She was really rude and i felt disrespected.
