Food and beer selection were solid. Really shows theyre trying in that regard. Games were fun enough for a great night. Although, most were also pretty darn old and more than a few werent 100% working. All in all its a solid night and well be back!

All you can play for $7! My family went over the summer and it was so fun. Draftcade has nostalgic games such as pin ball, pac man, and other classics. I loved playing Wreck It Ralph. We enjoyed all the arcade games. My brothers and I spent half an hour trying to beat each other’s scores shooting hoops & throwing footballs. When we went the place was busy but there were plenty of games to keep us busy!

Great through back arcade! Kids are welcome until it gets to late so if you want to bring the kids out this is a good place to do it. The price to pay is really reasonable. They have a small menu for food if you decide you need to munch on something. Oh yeah and draft beer.

Unlimited play for 7 bucks... Cant beat that. Good food and clean ambient. Good for some drinks lets the big and small kids have a good time. I love the Nintendo 64 on the table you eat. amazing.

This is a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy! Me and my dad go there every now and then and it is really fun! They have great games to choose from. The only problem I had was a couple of games were broken, but I dident mind.

So much fun!!!!!! The drinks were absolutely delicious and only $7 for unlimited game play. All the games worked and even have signs that tell a little about the classic arcade game and the year it came out. We will definitely go back.Pictured below is the Princess Peach which was amazing!

Took over a half an hour to get out main course, while the restaurant was mostly empty (fifteen customers maximum, all already served.) My drink order was incorrect, there was no syrup in the dispenser for my original drink. Upon correction, it took me another fifteen minutes to actually get the corrected, different drink. I didnt receive what I had asked for, and didnt get an explanation of why I didnt receive what I had asked for. It took ten minutes to be served in the first place, and employees were all doing unnecessary busywork, hanging out or on their phones. The only reason theres 2 stars, is the dessert was only about five minutes wait and delicious.TL;DR-Dissatisfied with the service, food was good though.EDIT: Gave them a second chance, and they did much better this time. Fast service, amazing food, got food quickly. Much better the second time around, change from two stars to four. Good job guys!

Saw a hilarious show next door at Improv then wandered over to Draftcade to see what all the hype was about - better than expected!! Amazing selection of games, tons of beer on tap, great food, and friendly service. A unique experience unlike any other avenue I’ve been to in KC. Can’t wait to go back!

Great bar/arcade. They have a few pinball tables in addition to video games. The various cabinets have somewhat worn controls in need of some repair, but theyre still playable. Friendly staff and its just a one time fee for Freeplay games.

Drinks were great, mac and cheese bites were really good!! Porkys revenge was dry even with the barbecue sauce. Little disappointed that our food sat for a while before our bartender realized it was ready. Long enough the fries were cold. Absolutely recommend for some classic gaming fun!!

Pretty fun place to hang out. Decent selection of games. Not a lot of options for food but what they do have is good. Try the fried Oreos for dessert. Karaoke night on Wednesday just adds to the great atmosphere. Fun place for friends it to take a family.

Only silly bells and whistles in this place are coming from the arcade cabinets. Unbelievably good food for a themed bar, all with classic arcade themed names. If you like to loosen up before some pinball their taps are vast and varied with cleverly named, and well poured, cocktails. A must if youre in the KC area.

Absolutely disgusted! I talked to the manager about their hours on New Years Day because it was my son’s birthday and they told me that they would be open normal hours at 4pm. So here I am rolling up with 3 kids and the place is closed! My sons crying and now his friends are making fun of him

Review №28

The drink options are unique, and $7 for all-you-can-play classic arcade cabinets and pinball is a great deal.During peek times, its tough to get a shot at Skeeball, and some of the machines could use some repairs to make them usable.It can get busy immediately before or after the Improv shows; wait it out, it clears out relatively quickly.

Clean & good vibes but the drinks are pretty watered down and even if theres only a handful of people there, expect to wait quite awhile for the server to come over. Less cramped than the other arcade bar though.

We had a real fun time. It was really cool to play some of the old games Id play as a kid. Spent a lot of time playing Firepower pinball machine. Had the cheese fries and fried mushrooms, they both were delicious

Fun place. Went with a group for a birthday. Could use more group seating. Food was good. Selection limited. If they just added a gluten free bun they would be able to appeal to more people. Got there early and most games worked but thought the evening the pinball games stopped working and they didnt have enough staff to fix them.

Only two Skeeball machines, okay selection of Pinball (Transformers is great fun), and good beer. Good luck finding a game technician if something goes wrong. Only 25 cents per game though. Bar appetizers are okay too. Great addition to Zona Rosa though, but I like UpDown better!

Review №46

Most of my review is based on the service and food because we didnt end up playing many games. This was for no other reason than just busy talking to people as we were there for a birthday party. However, I think the $7 bracelet on a Saturday night for unlimited game play is very reasonable. Our server was terrible. =( Very forgetful and not attentive when we could clearly see him standing around, not very busy. The food was good but not great. This is what we ordered:{Appetizer} Smoked Jumbo Wings - surprised they come undressed, so if you want buffalo sauce you will need to ask for it on the side.{Entree} Porkys Revenge Sandwich - w/ Pulled Pork, Candied Bacon, Smoked Ham, Blueberry Habanero BBQ Sauce, Jalapeno Cole Slaw & Onion Straw w/ Fries - this was VERY GOOD!!! We loved the different layers of flavor.Overall, we will go back because wed like to play more games and try some other dishes.

Went in during their opening time and they were closed. Waited 30 minutes and no one showed up. Google, their website, and their doors said they opened at 11am and me and my group didnt get to get in. Pretty lame.

I was born in 04 but i am really obsessed with the 80s bc some of the best movies video games, and ideas were created. And my favorite when rock n roll was being listen to everywhere. So it was really cool to see what i missed out on in the 80s. The food there was also pretty good and cheap so thats a bonus.

Review №52

Great deal on the games. $7 for all you can play. I also liked the beer selection but the place looked like it had not been cleaned all day. Old drinks laying around, the bathrooms were disgusting. They had paper towels, toilet paper and some kind of liquid all over the floor. TP was placed in the stalls but not on the TP holder. Also on the way to the bathroom someone had dropped a drink and there was liquid and large chunks of glass on the floor. I told the bartender before entering the bathroom and when we came out it was still there! My friend went and told another bartender since they were the people we could find and they yelled at her to tell someone once. It did seem they were understaffed and had a lot on their plate already but come on. I have attached pictures.

What a disappointment!!! It was super HOT in there, about 80 degrees! People on both sides of me were commenting on the heat as well and discussing leaving because of it. Shows online they have a Centipede game, but the guy at the front said it was broken and not replaced.

Play classic arcade games, all you want, for 6 dollars. Except pinball is a quarter a game. What is not to love. The fact that the prices are fair, the beer is good, the bar food is good, and the atmosphere is lively. This is my dream bar if I ever owned one.

Went on a Sunday afternoon with my kids & had a blast! $7 gets you a wristband where you can play their 70+ arcade games with no additional fees. They also have 60+ beers on tap, karaoke Wed night & a comedy club. In addition, you can eat there with a few selections of typical best sellers like quesadillas, Burger, sandwiches, or choose from fried twinkies or mushrooms as a snack. My kids want to go back which is a plus for me.

I greatly enjoyed this place! The drinks were good priced - and delicious and thr food was pretty good. In order to play unlimited wrist bands cost $7, which i think is a steal. The facility is clean, bathrooms are suitable, and the staff are always nice. For me, the only reason I wont give 5 stars is because some of the machines were down and I would like to see more variety in the games. I know some of the coolness is nostalgia factor, but Im still nostalgic for Guitar Hero.

Has a nice selection of games to play and we just did the wristband for $7 unlimited play which was a good deal. They only thing that was on satisfactory was the service when ordering a drink or food, nobody was behind the area taking any orders for 15 minutes before I could finally flag someone down

Review №71

Great food and great atmosphere. Honestly the best drinks in Zona Rosa. Porkys revenge is by far the best food item on the menu. Games are constantly on rotation, and kept in great shape. The only reason why it doesnt get 5 stars is because sometimes there are a few games that are broken that they leave on the grounds instead of quickly fixing/replacing it with their selection of games.

Very cool place if you love old school video games. The food was good. The drink selection was awesome. The all around vibe of the place was great, my husband and I had a few of our friends get together for our birthdays and each one of us had a blast, even if we were losing super smash Bros on the Nintendo 64. Its got everything from pinball machines to a snes classic. Very cool place in all.

The DJ was great. A nice mix and mash of mostly 80s. The food was OK. And the service was slow considering there were maybe 6 people in the place. On our way in people were leaving for lack of service. The games were in really good condition and none seemed broken that I played.

Nice place, great games from the 80s I had long forgotten about, friendly bar keeps. The beer selection is numerous and varied both of beers and ciders and other interesting drinks as well. I did not eat here but will do so the next time I go. Some nights they allow kids to come in the place with their parents so this could be a good parents kids night out
