This is an amazing community hub with an array of amazing vintage pinball machines, arcade games, events, and colorful patrons. This is my FAVORITE place to go when I’m in Eugene. If you want to fall in love with the neighborhood in NW Eugene this establishment will assist. I’ve acquired a new found appreciation for this up-and-coming neighborhood due to unbelievably cool places to hang out like Blairally! GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!!
This is a great spot. The staff is always friendly- they’ll often give me free coffee or free refills on my soda since I don’t really drink. I can spend hours in there playing games and people watching. I was pretty sad last time I went in there because they no longer have the fast Ms. Pac-Man machine, which was my favorite. But oh well, I still enjoy coming here.
This isnt my first negative experience here. Cold bartenders, overpriced drinks. If that sounds like a good time to you, contact your local psychologist. After a 12 hour shift, paying $6 for a Freya that other bars charge $4 for is an insult, not to mention I have never felt welcomed, or taken care of by the servers. Tonight I was poured one beer, and offered a water before being offered more service, no offer for food... just an insulting water.Please Blair alley,I want to like you, but you havent given me a single reason to.
Everyone is so nice the beers are good and they have great games and service
Great place great people and friendly bartenders and great arcade
Good place to play some classic and Truely vintage games. They have free play days as well. Good bar selection with good prices. Check it out if you want to play the original Asteroids or Gallega or pinball for a quarter.
Very cool experience! Over 20 classic arcade games. Some of them are even free! Great inexpensive food, and friendly staff! And kids allowed untill 9! Definitely will be back! Loved the atmosphere!
Very clean/great games
I love this place! Great music, lots of great people. The bar can get overwhelmed on busy nights and it can take up to 45 or so to get a drink, but the music is good to dance along to while you wait. I especially enjoy the 80s and 90s nights because that is the music I grew up with.
It was fun would like to see fully open but they are trying to keep people safe wiping the games down.
Good drinks, comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff and patrons. They have some free play games (which is awesome), classic games, and if you have a penchant for pinball... they host tourneys and have a WIDE variety of pinball games! Also, bar food/snacks are a joy to eat when youre trying to soak up the alcohol in your system. Its a regular place for me. My brother just recently visited me from SoCal and I took him there one night to show him around... he then made me take him back EVERY night he was still here. Its great fun, love it. Keep it up guys!
They have some of the best comfort food ever created in a bar kitchen. The wings are super good, and I tried to get the sauce recipe out of the cook and he said it was a secret and he signed a nondisclosure agreement so he couldnt tell me. Lol.
Cool concept, and a cheap date night. The bartender Tuesday night was great, however she seemed to get backed up. Maybe a barback or a second bartender during rush time would be helpful?
I cant get enough of the free arcade games. 80s dance night was definitely more like 90s dance night. However everyone was drunk and dancing and having a great time. Street fighter 2 was on fire. Gravitar might be one of the greatest arcade games ever made. Mad props for keeping the arcade scene alive.
Like the old school games! Live music sometimes too!
About half the games a FREE play! I enjoyed their grilled cheese and then the Kraft mac and cheese. Very reasonably priced and delicious.
The people and service was good. The games were fun and brought back memories. The bar food was decent.
I was pleasantly stunned at the large number of perfectly restored machines, pinball, arcade that are there. For 25 cents at a time I played so many machines I broke a sweat!The proprietor of Blairally even came over to see if we were having fun, yes we had fun!Im very impressed and pleased.
Amazing. Incredible atmosphere, great music, cheap but yummy drinks, overall one of my favorite spots in Eugene. 80s night is so much fun!
So much fun! Good snacky food. Great bartenders (Blake is my favorite Lol hes so funny and sweet if hes still there). When they have shows @ night sometimes they are always a blast too
The food is alright, theres an 80s night I heard. Sometimes a cover charge and dress code but it is warm...always friends staff and a good old-fashion. They have a change converter so you can tip ur bartenders well.
If you love old school pinball, arcade games, and are 21 and over youll love it here. Next to ninkasi hidden in a little alley.
Bartenders and servers were very nice! The 80s night dance party took forever to start though, and the djs seem to have little to no enthusiasm about the night. Fun for the games, idk about the dance nights though.
It is rare to find such a place! Lots of fun! I liked the music the arcade was playing too. Jurrasic Park pinball was and Dr. Who were my favorite.
If you like pinball, and classic vintage 80s video games this is the spot. Kid friendly till evening, beer and full liquor bar. Light menu. This place is awesome! Best arcade in town by far. Check it out!
I love the atmosphere here, and the bartenders are great. I feel like they communicate with you without actual words involved. Drinks are good & well-priced. Will definitely be back!
I love free-play Fridays and 80s night! Bring earplugs, its loud, but thats part of the fun!
Everytime I go here, the nostalgia sinks in (in the best possible way). Its all ages until 9, so you can bring the family if you want. Ive also gone a couple dates here and they were fun. Nothing like pinball, brew,and the chance to catch a local performance from time to time. P
One of my favorite places in Eugene. Decent bar food, good selection of drinks, lots of classic arcade and pinball games, and my favorite: 80s night every Friday! Its such a blast with lots of really cool people and a low cover charge.
Fun, retro vibe. All the old school games you could possibly want.
Friendly bartenders, yummy cheesy tater tots, fun old pin ball games.
Always love coming to Blairally. Wide selection of vintage games, and the day we went, many of them had 100 credits loaded on them. Attentive wait staff. Delicious food and drinks. Smoking section is far enough away from the door (and covered!) to keep the smoke outside where it belongs.
Bartenders complete the experience.
This place is great. Good food, awesome video games and nice workers. And on fridays they make some of their vintage games free to play. How cool is that? Me and my son have spent many hours here.
Comfortable atmosphere today.Great at moment friend meetings
Really nice people, awesome selection of games and for Thanksgiving they had free Thanksgiving meal which was a nice surprise! Very unique experience and awesome staff.
Great place to meet friends and have a little fun with retro video games. They also have pinball leagues for co-ed and just ladies!
This place is Awesome if youre into arcade bars with some really awesome games some for sale, and some you can play for free..
Good selection of bar style foods. Many machines are free to play. Some of the free to play machines are a little worn out.
Been living in town for years and this was my first visit. Only regret is that I hadnt enjoyed it earlier. Good music, arcade games, and a mixed crowd of all ages to mingle with. Good vibes.
God place but the are a few to many physicaly sixk. Ill take my chances out in the bush.
Really nice arcade! Not a huge selection of games but there were a couple good surprises (like Pong) and most importantly the one I was looking for was there: Street Fighter 2... Manage to get my LEL name in first place then went home with a smile on my face :D
Friendly staff, decent food and experienced bartenders. They have a wide array of pinball machines. Some old some new. All fun. They also have a ski ball machine and some vintage arcade games. Less crowded with college students than Level Up most nights. Very laid back crowd.
Great food fun games although kids have to leave at 9 great place for adults to get a drink and have a break
This was my first time there, and I didn’t have the best time here, but not because of the venue or customer service (which both were awesome!).The reason my experience wasn’t phenomenal because there was some dude who just couldn’t take a hint and proceeded to keep bothering my friend and I, even though we made it abundantly clear we were not going to sleep with him (I mean we told him straight up!).Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you to the bartenders, they were amazing! They were keeping an eye on my friend and myself, and interrupting this weirdo to ask if we were okay. This creepy dude reminded me how gross men can be sometimes and you guys simultaneously showed me how wonderful they can be at the same time! Thank you! Thank you!!
Great place to get your retro gaming fix.
Its not kid friendly. I know its a bar-cade but it really just looks like a bar with some old arcade machines. Shouldnt host birthday parties if they dont want children in the facility.
Best grilled cheese in town! So good! Full bar, great beer selection.... and games! Great music and TVs for sports too
So they have some free machines and thats cool plus they have a good choice of some older games however most of the games you paid for did not work or would not let you pay. Most of the ones that did work are in poor condition. I didnt even bother trying to get any of my quarters back because there was a DJ playing for a small rave on the dance floor if you can even call it that and it was too loud and too busy to bother. All in all I probably wont be returning.
I love blairally. How could you not. Cool games. Good drinks. The best staff and food and entertainment.
It is a fun place for gaming and dancing. The staff are helpful and keep the place safe for patrons. Many times when I was locking up or unlocking my bike, they have checked to make sure I was ok. Once some creepy drunk was bothering me and they came to my rescue. As a woman who often flies solo, a safe environment is essential to having a good time.
Great place for cheap drinks, cheap food, and cheap entertainment! Pinball machines, old school favorites like Galaga and Pong, and even ski ball! Under 21 can come until 9PM. Food includes pizza, wings, and even macaroni and cheese! Games are 25-50 cents unless you want more plays
Awesome place to hangout, very friendly atmosphere.
Great games, good dance parties, and drink deals but the bar line is dumb... Loved all the pinball machines!
Fun place to hang out! The games are cheap and oldschool. You dont have to pay a ton money to have a good time. Their food is good and their bartenders make great drinks! They make their own jalapeño tequila which makes a great spicy margarita! Hands down my favorite Barcade in Oregon.
I love all the vintage games, plus the great drinks and food!
Fun little place. The games are all old and I wish they would upkeep them a little better. However Im sure the age of some of the games makes it hard. It has a vintage feel for sure. Good beer taps too
Great staff. Well maintained games. Locals are friendly and will teach ya if youre looking to learn.
Always a classic, cant go wrong here
One of the best vintage arcades in town. Really kind staff, and a lot of games to play. If you go there, please keep in mind that the machines are very old, and take many hours to repair is damaged. So be gentle!
Best bar in Eugene by far!
You can enjoy the arcade games while having a drink or something from the food menu ...
Fave old skool video arcade ever!!!
Fun little hole in the wall arcade that is great for a night out with friends! So many games and a dance floor!
Decent selection of arcade machines. Tons of pinball!80s night is a blast at this bar. Everyone is so Whitaker made here . The bar tenders are really kind. Only thing I can critique is that dance floor is very small and the bathrooms are disgusting.Anyway if you are looking for a good place to have a beer and dance with your friends. 80s night at Blair alley is your place.
Best Mrs Pacman ever
Good stuff. Hot stuff. Free games. Music is good. Its pretty neat.
Nice dark game spot with fairly priced bar food and drinks
Fun place to dance! Heads up, theres a cover charge and they dont take debit cards but do have an atm inside.
Most of the bartenders are good. Its a nice dark dirty arcade. Love their chicken bacon ranch sandwich!
Great arcade and food!
I was immediately taken back to middle school! Tons of pinball tables plus old school video games like pong, donkey kong, dancing, music; when I was there 80s classics were playing. Staff and patrons were friendly and approachable. Bring your quarters.
Honestly, this is my spot. Come down for 80s night. They spin some good vinyl
I had a lot of fun here for 80s night. Got some great local Brews and played some fun games!Ill be back for sure
Do yourself a favor and explore the fun for everyone blast from your past play day!
Always a fun place. Great drinks, diverse crowd. How can you go wrong with free vintage arcade games?
Tribute to Andy Stubbs was well appreciated. One of the best places to go Eugene
Fun plave. Great classic video games
Friday nights, this is where you should be! So much fun, excellent DJs playing the 80s & some free pinball & video arcade games!??! What more could ANYONE ask for??
Good food. Good drinks. Fun events. And a bunch of games on free play! Cant get any better.
Well maintened vintage cabinets, all the best games from back in the day, reasonable drink prices, free play in Fridays!!
Nice arcade with a bar. Good fun for the night.
Great selection of vintage games and most are in great shape. Has a divey kind of vibe that reminds me of the Whiteaker in years gone by.
One of my favorite arcades on the west coast. Blairally has great pinball machines - including a nice assortment from the 60s and 70s - and a good selection of other video games. They have my favorite Elvira pinball machines.Good drinks and food. I love that I can get high end Redbreast whisky here and an Olympia high boy!
All the great arcade games. Both video and the classic pinball machines. Great bar. Must see in Eugene.
