Watched the McGregor vs Cowboy fight here and it was PACKED. This one of the few places where I can comfortably play video games while being surrounded by a bunch of different age groups without worrying about being bother. The catch is that you get unlimited play time as long as you have purchased something. Also a great event space for performances as well.

Great place to have an adult brew and some food while playing some games with friends or watching the ducks. I was able to catch the live music and had a blast!!

We love this place! Its family friendly, but has grown up beverages, and good pizza for a great price! Sometimes theres a small crowd, sometimes we can play right away, but its laid back, weve been able to join other players when its busy. Nice staff, keeps it fair, watches over the place. Highly recommend for gamers of all ages!

This is a great video game bar, which is why the addition of football TV’s has taken a lot of the enjoyment out of it for my friends and I. There are less monitors for gaming and they have been crammed into a corner to open up space for football games. People come here to play video games, which is why it is so fun! It is now harder to get a spot on the monitors and less fun because you can’t play side-by-side with friends. I really hope they switch back to the original format, but I do still enjoy coming in and the atmosphere is great.

Love to take the kids here for some family games. Have also seen Fortunes Folly play here and it was rad! Can get a little crowded and maybe not enough games/screens available tho.

Great beer and cider selection but no cocktails. the adjoined pizza joint makes pretty awesome Pizza staff are always super friendly. You can play any modern console video game with the purchase of a beverage

I dont know what the particular cause was but for my first visit in there I felt profiled. The bartender, offensively and excessively observed my valid (Government issued) ID as if it was obvious that I was some sort of charlatan that could not wait to pull on over on him so I could buy all the pizza and beer I wanted! Yay! Like I have nothing better to do with my weekend. I dont want to say that this was racially motivated, but I will say that I was the only black person in there and everyone else was greeted with a smile and did not have to deal with the degree of doubt that was dealt to me fort first experience there. So naturally the remaining time that I spent there I felt uncomfortable and could not get the sour taste out of my mouth from such an unsavory experience. So if you are black with a valid ID, dont go in there unless you want to feel judged.

OMG the new Pizza Company pizza is soo good. I would even say it is the best pizza in Eugene. They stick to the basics but their ingredients are top quality. Sauce is amazing. Pepperoni is a virtual blanket covering the pie. The cheese. The crust. I can’t recommend it enough. Delicious.

This place was great to bring your kids to to play some video games while you drink a beer. Its essentially $5 an hour for video games and a beer per person! How do these guys make money? I dont care! Its great!

This place has all the games you can IMAGINE! It has a whole bunch of Xbox one games you can play, a whole bunch of Ps4 ones, Nintendo Switch l, and even VR. Come here if you want to play some games for only a couple of bucks.

This place is amazing for kids or adults. It has pizza and beer for adults or pizza and soda/energy drinks for kids/teens. You have to pay hourly for game time 5$per hour and controller you get. but being able to relax on a couch and play all the new games on all the new consoles might be worth it for some. Has cbd sodas for the relaxed individual. Hardcore gamers and fortnite fans they have events for you guys so roll in and check it out.

Review №25

Its a fun place to go for video games. $5 (with or without a bottomless soda) nets you only 1 guaranteed hour of game time though. If it gets busy you get booted till you buy another drink to earn priority once more. They only have 4 of each system with screens for all of them.

Finally a place that keeps a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages on tap!! Theres loads of games to choose from, the TVs are stunning, the pizza is delicious, the seats are clean & comfortable, and the staff are smart & friendly... Flat-out great business to support, I’d leave 10 stars if I could.

Review №28

Really great atmosphere and upscale beer selection. The attached pizza place has quality pizza too. Beware the drinks are pricy with most beers priced at over $5, but they only carry microbrews so you definitely get what you pay for. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for a nice night out.

Review №29

Totally different experience from the old Big City Gaming, but Ive loved each iteration. Now you can sit and play your favorite games on couches and big screens, paying only for your food and drink. Great tap list of beers, non-alcoholic drinks, and tasty pizza. Ive had a few fun evenings with family and friends, and seen many doing the same.

It would be five stars if they went back to their old way were all you had to do is buy food and drinks to play. That would make it more affordable to play there.

Review №33

This place is so fun! Its cheap (the price of a drink gets you usage of a huge TV and any game they have) and they have a great selection of beer and games. The downside is that it sometimes gets busy and you might have to wait for a TV to open up or they may come kick you off if youve been playing for over an hour. This keeps it fair though so I dont get too upset. I also like to think of it as a service to the community because its a positive place for teens and tweens to play and keeps them out of trouble. BCG is one of my favorite Eugene landmarks. I do miss their old school industrial decor though. ;)

So glad this place is around. They have great prices on used video games. Super friendly and helpful staff. And the fact it smells of delicious pizza is a bonus. Its like the underground, low key Level Up but chiller.

Great idea to purchase a pizza and not be charged additional to play on the big screens. However the pizza is less than to be desired. Boys didn’t mind it though :)

Sizzle was slammed, I wanted food now...Found this place on google it was walking distance for a drunk me, so I gave it a shot! Pizza was awesome and none of that effing disgusting vegan bs ranch here either they offer the real deal! Slice was good the garlic knots were tasty and the cider was cold. I will be back for sure! Sorry no pics for this one, always forget when intoxicated..

Review №46

Good drinks, big TVs and good games. My 2nd visit ended with the threat of physical altercations, violence and simple rudeness when I was ambushed by deceit, subterfuge and basic miscommunication. Was told if you buy a cider you play for free. Other offers and such were explained to come with time, but it was said several times if you get a $5 cider you play free and that was it.I get making profit and figured most people just dont hang out all day because they have stuff to do. But then out of nowhere I get surprised with being told Im getting kicked off. I dont argue and I dont get aggressive, but wanted to state my issue. He proceeded to try to make a fool of me by pointing to people saying You know its an hour per drink yeah? As if I was lying or just some kind of idiot.When I said I might not come back I was told Want to do somethin about it? I just got off work. We could do somethin about it. I replied I dont even know what you mean because even though I wasnt happy I remained calm and this was no cause to fight over; Which is BEYOND unprofessional.Lastly Im high functioning autistic and when the rules get explained to me then seemingly changed on me out of NOWHERE, I make an attempt to clarify things. Physically fit or not being rude or threatening to your customers or strangers in general is highly unrecommended.

Can I get my free slice now. Just kidding. This is probably favorite place to get pizza and meet new people while playing video games. And for those people who think video games are bad, they dont do anything to you. Unless youre a gamer like me that plays hardcore for 24hour 7.

DUDE!! I love this place Family friendly fun and it doesn’t get better than that. Super affordable. All the gaming is free with a purchase! Seriously the BEST pizza I’ve ever had. My teens love Kombucha and they have it on tap! There’s craft soda for the littles and beers for the bigs. Ticks all the boxes when we’re looking to spend an evening with the kiddos and is FUN for the honey & I to step out on our own. Plus they deliver when we just want to stay in.

Keegan is an awesome owner hoping to eventually turn the store into a growler pub with tournament play stations and much more. They usually have a great selection of retro titles and give good credit. However, one employee, Art, is nothing but rude and disrespectful to customers and staff. I no longer enter the store if he is working just to save me the trouble of being hassled for no good reason.

A mere ghost compared to its former prowess. This store has gone from being a spot for both collectors and enthusiast, to a trendy hipster centric spot tailored to consumption.

Review №93

Terrible. Environment is raucous and loud, and everything is overpriced. I got sold a game worth 5$ online for 30$. I live way too far away to spend gas money going back. Dont go to this store.Update: The 30$ game is so worthless that two stores wouldnt even buy it from me. Big City Gaming is a bogus sham of a business run by peppy con-artists. Dont waste your money or your time. Go somewhere else.
