Holy nostalgia Batman! This was amazing! Such a huge throw back to a core of my childhood, literally every game I remember playing as a young man. The staff is super helpful and nice the food is great! All around a wonderful experience!

Fantastic selection of all the old 80s games I love. Great atmosphere and an inexpensive way to pass a few hours. Love this place!

Great place. If you love the 80s arcade, youll love Grinkers. It features drinks for the adults and inexpensive treats for the kids.

I loved this place but they are actually closed..... Who knows if someone else will buy it...

Not too bad of a place to taste a blast from the past. I was hoping for a cruising usa or area 51, but these were even before that time. Pretty cool most games were only a quarter.

We used to LOVE this place. I was planning on taking my husband there for his birthday next week but well be making other plans now. Im disappointed to see that they are closed to the public now, are charging a $50 membership fee every 4 months to enter AND you have to keep your credit card information on file now. They say they value simpler times and are keeping with 80s history, however their new business model and rules are complicated and no where near simple.

Its been a while since weve been and was a little surprised at having to pay $4 / each person BUT other than that it was a great experience to bring the kids to! And yes I lost at Pacman to my 5 year old....

It really saddens me to write this review. If you will notice, the positive review are overwhelmingly from before the new pricing structure, and in the last few months the reviews have taken a harsh turn.I feel like Grinkers built a great product and developed a loyal following, only to completely betray their customer base. I used to bring my kids in about once a month, and we would happily spend our money on food, drinks, milkshakes, and of course, the arcade games. The Simpsons game was our favorite, and we would endlessly pump quarters into that machine.Now the owners want to charge us $65 every 4 months for the opportunity to spend money. There is absolutely no way we are going to do this. We live in Nampa, and while we were happy to come out once a month or so we are not going to pay $195 a year for the opportunity to spend money somewhere.My hope is they either change their pricing methods so I can return to spending money here or someone else takes this opportunity to open up a competing place where you dont have to pay a $195 free to in turn spend more money. I will instantly support another company that does retro arcades.I see the owner responds to negative comments and tells them why they are wrong- and I would offer this advice: The customer is always right, and a huge section of your customer base are ALL telling you the same thing. You should consider listening. I wish you the best of luck.

AWESOME place! I was born in 1980, and this place is a walk down memory lane for me. Bring a nostalgic guy, I REALLY enjoyed my time here! Highly recommended!

I love Grinkers! This is due to the fact that I am essentially a 40 year old guy who is going on 12. I love arcade games and these guys have the best selection in Idaho. They also have tasty sandwiches and snacks. The only thing that drives me nuts is you now have to pay a cover fee to get in. I know this is supposed to cover maintenance for the machines but they used to not require a cover and I dont like change....or giving away money that could be extra quarters to play games.

I love the idea of this place! The nostalgia it brings back is priceless! The place seemed clean and there were plenty of tables and room to move around. We went on a Tuesday night though, so Im unsure what the weekends are like. One of my issues was the limited food - I wish they had a gluten free option for their sandwiches or hot dogs. The only thing I could eat was chips. The other issue was the staff didnt seem super friendly and welcoming. They werent rude or anything. They just didnt enhance the experience. The girl at the door almost seemed to dislike her job a bit. It wasnt the best first impression as you arrive and are going to Grinkers for the 1st time. Otherwise, the prices are great and our family had alot of fun! The place was a bit overstimulating for us so we could only manage an hour there- but thats on us and not Grunkers haha! Overall, we will definitely return for family fun night! Thanks Grinkers for keeping the 80s alive! Haha

Definitely an awesome place to visit! Its an 80s arcade on steroids! If you are ever nostalgic for some old school coin-op games, you wont be disappointed. Chances are, any game you remember playing is likely in this place. Its got the dark ambiance and the background sounds of more than a hundred games running in the background. They also have a bar that serves beer, wine soda, and some munchies if you need it.There is an entrance fee(quite reasonable or subscriptions if youd like), but all games are just a quarter after that. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. If you have any issues they are quick to react. They even have a maintenance team actively working Everytime I was there fixing one he or another to keep the active game count really high.

Im really going to miss you, Grinkers!

Excellent old school games, all 1 quarter. Many drink options for kids and adults. Food menu satisfies most appetites, including meal packages for the little onesEntry fee is new. Now there is some control of who is in the locationFeels cleaner and safer than it has been in the past.

One of the best arcade out there (hands down).These guys are really passionate about vintage game and it shows.You will see and be able to play vintage arcade games that you will never see anywhere else.This is a very special place if you are an arcade enthusiast.

Did my husbands birthday party. It was great. Had about 20 people from 2 1/2 to 76 there everyone had a great time playing games. We ordered an assortment of sandwiches and chips brought our own cake and enjoyed $1 rootbeer floats. They now have an admission fee but you can get a 3 month pass for $24 which is for your whole household and anyone with you. The Birthday party is $40 and included the 3 month pass and $16 in quarters.The staff was great. They also have a good selection of beer and wine.

Nostalgia at its finest. ALL games 25 cents. Grinkers has every game i can remember from 35 years ago. And most of the popular games from 25 to 30 years ago. They serve some food and have beer. This is a place for a family or for adults who would like to go back 30 years when gaming was real fun and you had to leave your house to potentially socialize with other human beings. I hope this place never closes. Great job GRINKERS. You have a fan for life. If you have a spouse that was into games just a little... then this is a great cheap date night that isnt cliche.

Was great, a friend and I went and played some games. We drank a few hard ciders also while playing games. We enjoyed atmosphere also. Ashley had beyond great customer service, followed by Ryan he was great. The food service was great, good food, Markis in the kitchen had great customer service also. The food hit the spot. This place is like no other honestly a place u need in your life. I have been to many arcade places also out of state, this one is the best. The customer service was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

Freaking awesome! Great food and games that take you back to the 80s (and then some!)

Lots of fun to have the old arcades around could use a bit of maintenance smells like beer when you walk in thats a drag but it is a good couple hours of fun.

Pinball and beers. The tables and other arcade games are well maintained. An excellent and fun atmosphere. This has become my wifes default date night spot, due to the Star Trek: TNG pinball table.

Truly a one-of-a-kind place, a real shrine to those who grew up in the 1980s and early 90s. Hundreds of classic arcade games, almost all in good, working condition. So many iconic games: Space Invaders, Galaga, Pac-Man, Missile Command, Tempest, Tetris, Super Sprint, Galaxian, Atari XO Trackball football, and classic pinball games like Cyclone, High Speed and (my favorite) Pinbot. All are a quarter to play!Staff was nice and the place really feels like you hopped in the DeLorean, hit 88 mph and ended up in the arcade at the Twin Pines Mall in Hill Valley! If you are anywhere near Boise (Eagle),ID and want to experience the same feeling, go to Grinkers and treat yourself.

This place is great if you want to have a fun date night or just go with some friends for a fun retro game night on a lot of old arcade games. Its a little dark inside. But a great atmosphere and super fun games!

Very happy with the way the membership model is working out! The first time we went, prior to the membership, there were quite a few machines down - there was even a corner that seemed like a graveyard for dead games. Now, all the games are only a quarter, they almost all work, and those that didnt were being actively worked on. There are so many crazy old games and theyre in great shape, so it seems like the membership money is being used to preserve the games. Its a fun way to spend an afternoon - drinking beer and playing games. Staff is always super nice and friendly.

This was previously a 5 star business, but their paranoia over covid-19 has led to an insane business model that I refuse to support. A quarterly $50 - $65 membership fee JUST to enter the business, mandatory gratuity charges on all food and drink purchases is just not sustainable and will probably spell doom for the business.The websites message about the change also reeks of passive agression and comes off condescending to long term customers like myself who have spent hundreds of dollars over the years supporting Grinkers since the beginning. Good luck with your draconian new business plan because you wont be getting any more money from me.A reflection of simpler times is not what your approach to this is. It reeks of cowardice and money grubbing to milk as much out of the limited customer base that will embrace this new business model.

The games are a lot of fun. I enjoy playing the games from when I was a kid. I would say that about one out of five games is likely to have some troubles with it though. Now that they have the fee to get in I probably wont go quite as much though, even though its not all that much.

This is the best classic game arcade Ive been to in years! I went, not knowing what to expect, and it was a blast. It was like memory lane for me, and my two kids had as much of a good time as I did. I love that the games are still coin-op and most are still 25¢ per game, so its not a huge expense to go play for a couple hours. They also have snacks and a decent tap list, too. Ill be going back as often as I can.

Ill admit to being one of those people who are stuck in the 80s but this place has lots of kids playing these games that I would think would rather be playing video games at home or on their phone. You just cant play Space Invaders, Pole Position, Asteroids, Atari Football, Sprint, Commando, Sea Wolf, 1942 etc. with the same feel at home. These authentic games are the best... and Grinkers had so many, it was hard deciding which ones to play. With good adult beverages, a medium sized bar, and family tables to the side, along with free refills on sodas, its worth feeding a bunch of quarters one by one into well-maintained video games and pinball machines. Did I mention that their moderately priced sandwiches are spectacular? Look in local brochures and online for $10 off coupons and make a day of it. The staff was super friendly and my daughter and I bonded in a whole new way that I could really relate with... Playing video games from the 80s with Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar, AC/DC, Judas Priest and all of the rest, blaring in the background. Grinkers Grand Palace made my day. Go there... I promise... you wont regret it!

Great selection of games. The pins were even maintained better than average. Some weak flippers and missing lights here and there but everything that was turned on was playable.

Amazing selection of retro arcade and pinball games, many that are quite rare and many from the dawn of video-gaming (eg - Old B&W Atari standups, early solid state pinball games, etc).It is a paradise for retro gaming, and a pretty darn good retro pinball joint! My only issues were the low red light overhead makes it difficult to play pinball (stadium lights like Pinstadiums would do a ton of good), and some of the flipper mechs were in need of being cleaned and rebuilt, so you could get the power necessary to hit the ramps and back targets.Can’t wait to go back!

Was great now closed

If you love classic arcade video games from the seventies and eighties, then this is worth the trip from anywhere.

I was nervous to come here at first but was so glad once we were there. It is just like a classic arcade! All games are quarter games and there are so many games to play, you are guaranteed to find something for everyone to like. We were there on a busy Saturday and every time we were up near the bar area for drinks or quarters, the staff were very welcoming. I didnt try their food but it was nice to have a beer while walking around and playing the games.

Not sure why everyones so upset about a $4 fee to go in and play. I spent less than 10$ (games are $.25 each) to go play games for a few hours which is more than reasonable and a better bargain than most activities these days. Great nostalgia and everyone working was very nice and friendly. Seriously, relax and go enjoy some great games and pinball so we can keep this amazing collection of games available to everyone. Its well worth the minimal cost.

Everyone here is so nice! Their games are wonderfully preserved and their selection is amazing for how small Eagle is. Im sorry to hear people took advantage of their business and vandalized the machines. Hopefully their new member service will stop that.

You now have to pay just to get in here. Unaffordable for families. The lady said this was now “ Members only. “This used to be the only “ Cheap “ thing to do in the valley. Not anymore! Will not be returning!The owner seems to make snarky remarks when people comment that they do not like this place anymore.Also, the lady with kids that came in before me left as well. She did not want to pay your “ Fees. “- Idaho native here. So don’t go on about “ Happy people welcome in the Treasure Valley. “ Take your own advice Bud.

I brought my grandsons here today. This arcade is Awesome. I grew up in the 80s with all of these games. A great place where my grandkids can have fun along with their grandma having a good time too. They offer food and beer too.

The first time I walked in I seriously felt like I walked back into 1995! Was amazing to see just about every game I grew up playing in the arcade! My kids loved the games and couldn’t get enough. Not a big fan of the membership fee but it’s a business. People don’t realize these games are now considered rare and even antiques so I guess they gotta do what they gotta do.

Seriously so cool, I felt trapped in time when I walked in, the atmosphere is awesome. The fact that most games are only 25 cents to play is impressive, and the game selection is awesome, they got all the classics and many more. Cheap ice cream and drinks too. Highly recommend

Amazing place. I almost want to say that it isnt, just so that these guys dont get tooooo popular ;) Fantastic way to spend an evening and itll have you returning regularly for some good retro fun. Great friendly staff, awesome root beer floats for a buck (yes, 1 dollar), beer, great cheap machines (quarters), endless fun. You will expect this place to be fairly small, but its actually quite sizeable with lots of games and few duplicates. If you have $20, you and a friend can stay pretty busy all evening.

What an amazing place!Whats better than 80s arcade games and a cold beer?We have a large extended Family on a budget so we reeaallly appreciate the Fair pricing.5☆☆☆☆☆ indeed.

Such a labor of love. This should be listed as a museum, not just an arcade. Some extremely rare games, like a fully functional Space War from 1977. They seem to have switched to a membership model which I think is an excellent idea. Its only a few bucks for a day pass and it keeps these amazing machines running. I had a family of four having fun for $10 an hour there. I would pay twice the price, and not bat an eye.

Awesome place for vintage games and pinball. Fantastic food and beer as well. Best sandwich Ive had in months. Local or close by brews on tap. Loved the Bend Oregon brew. 80s music playing makes for a perfect atmosphere!

Words can describe how awesome my experience was! So many options and good maintenance and cleanliness

I have been here before and had a great time. but unfortunately when my husband and I decided to bring our son here today we find out you have to have a membership or pay their daily fee to get into an arcade really. After paying $10 for 3 people to enter an arcade and then get quarters I ordered a sandwich which I have had before i find out they are charging for the large option but have downsized on this size of their sandwich. You just cant have family fun anymore without emptying the bank. pay more get less, Thats how it is everywhere anymore needless to say we will not be back.

Best arcade in the universe! A lot of these games are very rare and you won’t find anywhere else available for the public to play. Games are in great shape and working condition. I’m more than happy to pay a cheap entrance fee. It’s still the best value of any classic arcade I’ve been to.

My wife and 2 sons visited this weekend for the first time. I’d wanted to check it out but just hadn’t. Didn’t really know about the daily fees but they were small enough I didn’t mind it. I wasn’t aware the coin machine only took single bills so got some change from the bar. I walked around and scoped out the selection of games. I was pretty excited for a few of them. Played a few games that seemed to be really glitchy, but that’s what you’ll get from old technology I suppose. I do wish there were more options for younger kids but couldn’t really seem to find any. We all shared 2 large sandwiches and the wife and I had a beer. $22 for 2 beers and 2 sandwiches (not horrible price) They were very tasty!! Unfortunately all of us got some diarrhea later on that day. I’m guessing it was from the Italian dressing, but who knows. I do wish they had a few more options on the menu. But it’s better to do 1 thing well, than many things mediocre. Finally we left, and got a little of that midday leaving a movie theater vibe. The place is very dimly lit, so when you leave put on some sunglasses lol. Overall I had a good time. I’ll most likely be back without the kids and will probably steer away from the Italian dressing though.

Woah, this place is awesome. Looking for an alternative to Dave and Busters? They currently have 142 retro arcade games available. Ive been two times now and it is a blast. They serve beer/wine as well. No liquor license unfortunately. There is frozen yogurt next door as well.

Really cool! Got to bring my kids to experience what it was like when I was a kid. Some of the games we played as kids. Really cool! Good service

This is amazing over 250 games some I have never seen. Takes me back to the 80s I took the grandbabies and my wife. Super budget friendly every game just a quarter. They have beer for us older people to sit and enjoy while the little ones run around, food as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some payback to the younger ones. You will have the homecourt advantage playing all the games from your past. Good times.

Best retro arcade and bar on the earth! Period!

This place is amazing. You walk in and are taken back to another time. While I was not a love when most of these arcade games were made, I can certainly appreciate the nostalgia. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the games are taken very good care of. I hope this place doesn’t let a few bad apples ruin the bunch!

Lots of fun. Great prices. Sandwiches are so good.

This is the only place of its kind in this area .... and it’s Awesome! The food , ice cream (root beer floats !) and yes beer are at the cheapest price in town .The best part however is the atmosphere and nostalgia .All of the arcade games from my childhood in one place! Great music playing from the eighties generally and it is just a unique and great vibe! They recently went to “ membership “ or you can pay a cheap cover . $2 kids, $4 adults . I do not understand all the complaints . The games and food are so inexpensive , the cover is worth it . Where else can u get a $1 ice cream and sit In a chill environment? Grinkers .. you Rock! Thank you for adding to our little community .

Great place!, Very nostalgic

Grinkers is a place to play lots and lots of great arcade games and it’s loaded with plenty of 80s nostalgia. Which I love! I was a regular habitual visitor and would go out of my way to drive there just so I could spend hours playing the great games there. I haven’t been there to visit in awhile and was asked by my friend if I wanted to go. I absolutely jumped at the invite, I’d been planning to go Grinkers anyway. So I called up another friend and invited him and his kids cause they haven’t even been there. We arrived and I was anxious to show my friend and his kids this place and let his mind take a trip down memory lane with this kind of arcade. As I walked up to the door I was greeted with some new signs... Apparently since the last time I visited they had become a “Members Only” establishment and I had to fork over some unnecessary entrance fee cash so I could enter the arcade. Since when did an arcade in the 80s have to have a “cover charge” to enter and play games? So after We were fed a line of garbage (Supposedly people were hurting the machines, I understand that the machines can be damaged by people who can’t seem to be civil and not break things, but I don’t think it’s right to charge those who aren’t causing damage. The good customers out weigh the bad in this kind of situation. Arcades get broken and they wear out, that the way this business works. Maybe have someone walk around once in awhile and survey their customers and by all means kick out those who are damaging property and charge them for the destruction.) over expensive memberships and had my drivers license scanned so I was allowed to go in and pay for said membership at the bar. My friends and I had to stand at the bar for almost 10 minutes to pay for our 1 Day Memberships which was way too expensive, let’s not even bring up the cost of the 3 month and 1 Year Membership. Then I had to get quarters which tacked on even more to this overly priced scam. This place used to be great and now is just another place to rip people off with unnecessary memberships. I used to recommend this place to everyone, now I’ll forget this place even exists. My friends and I will not be back. You’d be better off finding a better source of entertainment than to waste your money. It makes me sad that this place that I loved has stooped so low... Game Over...

Best sandwiches in town. The customer service is top notch as well.

Great selection of games at a really cheap cost. Sandwiches are cheap and good, convenient for longer visits. Would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of arcades.

This is an authentic arcade that would please any 70s, 80s and 90s kid. They have nearly all the best games, and some of the obscure ones. Grinkers is maintained surprisingly well! 98% of the games are functioning at any given time. They have a well stocked bar, kitchen, and several change machines. BEST PART: EVERY game is 1 quarter! Lots of staff are available if you need any help. You can buy quarters using a card, they will start a tab for you. Weekend wait times for food is lengthy but they are very busy. I ordered a Turkey and Roast Beef deli-style sandwich and it was worth the wait! Grinkers would be an awesome choice for parties or high-energy date nights.

The whole family, ranging from 10 years old, teenager, and 30+ years, had fun. My only complaints were the alcohol and lackluster ladies at the counter. I see no point in allowing drinking (which I am not against it most other situations) as the people I primarily saw there were parents with children. The few random single guys in the establishment were the ones drinking and they would leave their glasses on a nearby, barely supervised table because you cannot set a drink on the games. Maybe have an adults only night to make both sides feel more comfortable.

Games were pretty great, lots were broken down or ate quarters. Prices are well worth it. If security sketches you out, beware. They take a photo copy of a drivers license upon entering, information handling is questionable.

Just an awesome 80s style arcade. Hundreds of cabinets and pins, all priced at a quarter per play. A truly staggering collection of games.Sandwiches are very good and reasonably priced. Cool music always playing. Usually has sports on TV at the bar. Plus, they keep a High Scores list!

Cool and a fun place to go with family and friends. Super nice staff and organized setup. Lots of games and energetic atmosphere.

Love this place . The nastalgia factor plus decent prices always hits the spot.

One of my favorite places in the treasure valley! Absolutely incredible!

Grinkers is a reimagined video arcade. It has classic video games (1980s onwards) and much better sandwiches than I remember arcades having in the 80s. They also serve beer and wine. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is clean. They have a good selection of vintage games, plus some reproductions. Grinkers manages this via admission fees, so read their website first and decide on the best plan for you.

I love Grinkers! The only thing I would suggest is turn up the lights just a little bit. It’s awfully dark in there!

Some of the machines were shut off or had quarters jammed in them, but other than that, Grinkers was awesome. Had a decent selection of drinks and had some food there as well. The options for arcade games though were the best Ive seen in the treasure valley so far. Great place to host a birthday party or even just go to enjoy yourself with some friends. Id love to go here as much as possible.

Place was amazing. Missing a few games of the 80s that was amazing games but hands down the best arcade I have been in

We always have a great time at Grinkers with our 3 kids. Friendly staff, yummy food and a large variety of arcade and pinball machines for all ages!

What a great trip down memory lane. I havent played some of those video games for 30 years. The loud 80s rock was the icing on the cake.

Play the coolest arcade and all of Treasure Valley

THEY SWITCHED TO STUPID MEMBERSHIP MODE! I used to love to have fairly cheap games and amazing food, but now I have to pay $8 to ENTER THE BUILDING!?!? I don’t think so.... Used to love this place, now..... I’m never going back

Awesome selection of arcade games that are almost all in good working order, and the beer is very reasonable priced. This is one of my favorite hangout spots.

Every game I loved as a kid in one place. Clean and well managed. Loved it

Ive never been to a retro arcade this massive. The sub sandwiches are great and affordable. I would give them 6 stars if they had more craft beer on tap and maybe more (safe) places to set your beverage when you are playing.

Great time. Fun environment. A little dark and hard to see until your eyes adjust.

Great way to show my kids my nostalgia for these arcade games. Occasionally your quarter gets eaten but they take good care of there games generally and cheap drinks with free refills.

Wow mind blowing so many classic arcade games I wanted to play them all

Went there with some friends and it was amazing. Love this place, makes me feel like i was alive in the 80’s.

Absolutely amazing ️ and one of the best places Ive ever been hands down! So much fun!

Awesome place to take kids and huge selection of restored games!

Wow! Loved the old arcade games! We had a great time!

It would have been 5 stars but now they charge a fee just to get in. Food is spectacular! Service is friendly.

Classic old school arcade games for a quarter to play. It’s cool that an arcade like this still exists and is as busy as it is since nowadays most people are stuck looking at there phones and videos games and what not. Only issue I had was that some of the games were not working or there were quarters stuck in them but besides that, it was nice to play some old school games.

NOSTALGIA!!! This place is rad. 4$ cover .25$ machines. Over 300 of them. And Beer! What else do you need.

The largest collection of classic arcade games I have ever seen! It was like I had stepped back into my childhood from the 80s, only on a much grander scale. This place is huge! The game selection was amazing. The sandwiches were so yummy. The staff was friendly and very helpful. There is a cover charge of $4/adults, $2/children with monthly pass options as well, but the fee is small in comparison to the cost of the games, only 25 cents a play! It is my understanding that they were having some issues with people breaking these irreplacable machines and in an attempt to preserve their collection implemented the cover charge. Such actions seem reasonable and fair to me as some of these games seemed museum worthy, in my opinion. So, if the cover fee is an issue, Id suggest thinking of it more as a museum entry fee that opens the doors to the past and welcomes you to stroll down memory lane The experience is well worth the nominal fee!

Visiting from out of state and found this place. 300+ games. Most working. Only a few were out of order. I was impressed with the picture quality on most of these old games. 25 cents a play. Looks like they have a good beer selection. Friendly staff. If you like classic arcade games hit this place up.

Fine collection of original 70s and 80s games with REAL CRTs! Props to the staff who keep them alive!

Private club membership?good luck with that. And yes, this is an actual review of your business. I have been to this establishment and our party was not impressed by the food or service. I understand you are trying to improve your bottom line but making it a membership based arcade club is quite silly. Also, so unprofessional of the owner to remark to all lesser ratings that this is not an actual review of our business Rude responses from the owner certainly dont look good for this establishment. I think thou protest too much.

Grinkers is an excellent place to play arcade games, in fact, the only one of size in Boise. Me and my husband completely understand the changes made to ensure some responsibility on the customers part. The first time me and my husband went there, we literally saw a 15 year old kid constantly rocking and shaking a vintage pinball game back and forth in frustration, nearly breaking the legs off of it..and that was within the first 5 minutes of us being there. I couldnt imagine how much abuse some of those games take, especially as a result of disrespectful teens. Before you leave a review in fury over the change, at least think about what youre doing.

I havent even been here yet. i see such amazing reviews so i am excited to try this place out. i also see a few negative reviews for a 4 dollar entry fee. i can honestly say that doesnt bother me one bit. i dont see the big deal. excited to try this arcade out!

Great place to go for fun with or without the kids. They have food and Beer/wine, so feel free to grab a pint and play some retro games.

Best date night in town! delicious sandwiches, and I dont even like sandwiches. But I look forward to getting their hot pastrami. Its out of this world. The atmosphere is super fun and throws you right back into your childhood. So if youre 30 or 40 something looking for a fun date night, go to grinkers you will not be disappointed.

Still love this place even though theyve recently added a membership fee I guess its acceptable since all games are still only a quarter plus who doesnt love pizza and beer will they play

Havent been to Grinkers in a while. The place has really expanded and they have so many classic arcade games that bring back fond memories. Theres an entry fee now (one day membership is $4). I know some have had issues with this. If you look at the quality of these games and how much it costs to maintain these classics, its worth it. Spent 4.5 hours there tonight and between the entry fee, $10 in quarters, a killer hot Pastrami 8 sub, and large coke, I spent about $24. Not too many places these days where you can spend that many hours of entertainment for less than $25.

Awesome dollar drinks and coupon!

Cheap oldschool fun! Good selection of games and cabinets

So sad it’s closed

Grinkers may have only lost a few customers after changing to a membership model if they had communicated professionally about the change. Instead, the owner has chosen to make their responses to questions and complaints rude, immature, and condescending, and they ban anyone who dares suggest anything negative about their business. My family has enjoyed this establishment in the past but if you are looking to spend your money here, maybe think twice about the kind of person you are giving your money to.
