I regularly frequented Decades pre-covid to enjoy bowling and games with my friends and cant wait to go back when covid is over! I ordered delivery from their restaurant today and their food is AMAZING (I had the vegan chicken sandwich). The Decades team is skilled in not only entertainment but equally as skilled in their food service as well. Highly recommend.

Nice place with some old school video games. Six lane bowling ally looked nice. The food however was way too expensive and fancy for this kind of theme. Seemed miss matched. I really liked the look and feel, just not the food. I had a crab-rice stir fry and it cost $16. Not only did it leave an unwelcome after taste, the void in my wallet was irksome. Our dinner for 3 cost over $50 and that did not include drinks. If you go here, go for the atmosphere. It was great.

This place was very boutique filled with old school Vibes and new school entertainment and fun period great for kids and family but they do have to be out by 8:30 as it is adults only after that! Really good vegan ice cream as well and nothing bad social distancing included

Great food-the same but different menu items you would find anywhere, but with a fresh, renewed spin. Serving size was large. Staff was friendly and attentive. Nostalgic arcade games and bowling were a fun touch. Very clean/Covid friendly. We will absolutely go back. We went as a family at 2pm and had a great experience. They request no children after 8pm as it does have a really cool adult date night vibe.

Such a cute place to visit with friends. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the smash burger! Tons of classic arcade games. They even have an N64 right in front of a comfy couch if thats your thing!

What a gem!!! Went here after work and had so much fun. Will definitely be going back. Bar service is a little slow, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Prices are reasonable for food and drinks (which all taste amazing)

My girlfriend and I are travel therapists, so, were were used to big cities all across the US. Had a stop over in Lancaster during these COVID times and was not expecting much... And then we found this gem in a small city! Not only great good but a fun & clean atmosphere. Happy to see amazing businesses like this are able to maintain the proper guidelines to allow patrons to enjoy! If youre coming to this city, for any reason, be sure to give them a shot. You will not be disappointed!!

Great place. My expectations where blown out of the water. The atmosphere in this place is crazy. The food was great and the staff where very kind. Their wings are huge and their happy hour specials are great. We will be back.

Pretty cool concept. Food is good. Service is great and the old school arcades are fantastic.

Love it!!! Games a great prices... $10 goes a long ways. Food could improve a little bit. Drinks are good, but a little pricey. If you want some fun entertainment though, $35 can get you some drinks and a lot of play time!! I have not tries the bowling yet.

Good food and good drinks! Has a really fun atmosphere. They serve you food and drinks as you bowl. They also have a large variety of arcade games, most only cost one token.

Went for bowling. Had a great time and their fries were really good.

What a cool new space for Lancaster City! Great food and drinks... Wonderful waitstaff... Add bowling, video games and pinball, and let the fun begin!

Decades is a really cool retro arcade. The atmosphere is laid back and family friendly, but still cool enough to be a fun and funky start to a date night. I took my 15 year old daughter here on a Wednesday evening (Not a date!), and she actually had fun. Anyone with a teenager knows how difficult it is to find something that they enjoy.There was no charge to get in, and they gave us $2 in free tokens each just for showing up during happy hour. Since most games are only 1 token (25 cents) with a couple being 2 tokens you can actually get some game play for $2. The game selection includes a lot of the games I remember from my childhood like ski ball, pinball, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Ninja Turtles, as well as some games my daughter recognized like Mario Cart. They have a couple lanes for bowling as well.For those planning a more adult night or a date night the sign on the door said you have to be 21 to get in after 8:30. There is a full bar and you can order food. I didnt get to try the bar or food to comment on taste or selection, but the food I saw at some of the tables looked pretty good. I plan on taking my wife back some evening to try the food and drinks. Ill post an updated review then.Overall, I would highly recommend checking out Decades.

I love Decades. Its a lil different with the Covid. I missed the old real pin ball machines

Smoked Manhattans...Done.Bowling...DoneArcade Games...DoneTasty Foods....DoneDooo it!

This was our second visit. $20 in tokens kept 4 of us busy for over an hour. Games were great. Havent tried the bowling yet. Food was good too.

This place was so much fun! We jumped around to a lot of bars on St. Patrick’s Day and this place we stayed at the longest period between our group most of us Danny want to go when the rest did. The games are fun, cheap, and who doesn’t love old retro games? They got a full kitchen, they have a full bar and they also have bowling lanes for 36 bucks an hour up to six people on the lane. Their prices are great, and I hope they stay open for a long time!

So much fun! The food was really good, especially that bacon jam! The atmosphere is a bit loud since the games, bowling, and restaurant are open to each other. This did not bother me at all!Why did I only give this place 4 stars?There were a few games that were broken, which was a bummer. Also, the kids menu was a bit too fancy, in my honest opinion. It does become 21 and older after 9pm, no problem there, just an FYI. Overall, this is such a fun place!

Clean, friendly, and tastefully decorated. Didnt get to try any food but the menu looked amazing, restaurant area was beautiful with an open kitchen. Bar was very well stocked with some hide to find spirits in the area (Blantons!). Some games werent functioning properly, and it would be nice if they added some more! Would definitely go again. The big standout was the decor and ambiance, its just beautiful in there.

We were here for a girls night out. Interesting atmosphere, different from majority of Lancaster bars and restaurants. Laid back and fun if you love arcade games, and bowling. Neat retro look. Pretty loud because of the bowling alley. Appetizers, salad and sides - be prepared for huge portion! We didn’t finish any of our food. Be prepared to share because we were stuffed!

Wonderful experience looking forward to share my experience with my granddaughter Allura B

Wasnt too busy for the time we went. Staff was nice and we had a great time bowling.

So much fun! Good food, great drinks!

We went here to celebrate a birthday with our two young adult boys and had a blast! We were expecting to have fun but as an added bonus the food was really, really good. Our table enjoyed juicy burgers on great home made rolls, a pulled pork sandwich that was fantastic (best he ever had) and the meatloaf that was simply delicious and huge! And the fried green tomatoes appetizer was also excellent. Even though we were stuffed my son ordered the creme brulee for dessert and we all sampled. Wow, seriously good! If you grew up in the 80s or even if you didnt you will probably find something to enjoy here. Be aware, its loud with the video arcade games, skeeball and bowling alley so take a group of friends and enjoy!

Went for the first time on New Years 2020, however, I was astounded by the service and staff work especially at the front desk, side bars, and wait staff....Not to mention the food!—I ordered the meatloaf with potato gratin and crispy fried Brussels sprouts, it came with two pieces of thick meatloaf with Brussel sprouts to the side and a bowl of potato gratin- with so much melted cheesiness on top. The meal was beyond basic, but yet subtle enough on the stomach to eat the entire plate. I also ordered a side of coleslaw- pretty basic but still enjoyable. My friend got the roasted chicken, excellent she said and she ate the entire thing! My other friend got the pull pork sandwich with fries. The fries are to die for, and so are many of their other sides that are available to substitute in your entree.The drinks— excellent selection, excellent quality. Pick a signature drink, like the margarita with cantaloupe or the espresso martini, all will have you going back for more.The arcade- many pinball machine and arcade type games - including gun shooting, car racing, basketball shooting, ski balling throwing, or any game you might have lived off in an arcade in the 80/90s.I was pretty impressed for the first time and that’s why I wrote this review. It’s a really good standout place, especially for the time that I came, 5 stars. Will go back and review later and update this post.

Such a great place with delicious food and good service

What a great addition to downtown Lancaster! There is a parking garage next door for those who are driving in and it is handicap accessible (I believe there is a side entrance for those who need it.).It is a bit loud inside but so are most bars in the area. You can make reservations through their website for a table if youre dining there. They have a long bar that looks to have 20ish seats and high top tables as well. I believe the 6 bowling lanes are first come, first serve so if there is a wait youll have time to play some arcade games (You pay by the hour, not per person for the lane rental.)!They have very slim tables placed between games so you can rest your drink while playing! There is also a TV with a sofa and side chairs with a Nintendo 64 hooked for group game play.Ive only gotten cocktails and theyve been well mixed and flavorful. Big thumbs up on the pear martini.

Went here after hearing about it from a co worker. This place is loaded with retro video games and a cool bowling alley. Very nostalgic. Absolutely enjoyed our night out here. Loki and the manager made it an incredible experience that I will not forget. I will absolutely recommend to everyone and we will definitely return.

I was there for the first time and it was beautiful. There is bowling and arcade gamesThe building is beautiful with lots of orginal fixtures that have been updated with paint and lighting.

Big fan of arcades and these kinds of places. It had a more homely feel, compared to other arcades Ive been to. Id take a friend here just to chill and not feel like I have to be doing something.The bartender was great, theres a decent selection of VERY well maintained arcade machines both new and old. And the food isnt half bad either. And the fact that they let you borrow n64 games for free and play them on a couch with a bud is awesome. I fully plan to make this a regular thing for me.

Great bar and place to hang out, and really super beer choices which means much more then IPAs on draft. Meals are only ok, had the fried mushroom meal and not so good. But it is a fun place.

A Little pricey over all a good time...

Decades is a wonderful environment full of joyous employees. I enjoyed my time bowling and playing hoop fever! Gotta go with the PBR while there because it is not only the cheapest beer but an American classic. Proud of you decades, keep up the good work

Its adult and kid heaven. Took the kiddos this time. They have kid friendly bowling with automatic bumpers and ramps. Its a great setup with high booths and tables for putting your drinks or sharing some apps. You also get a server to come to your Lane and handle everything. Its definitely a great time for the kids to enjoy. Us as well as they have really unique drinks and options for non-alcoholic ones. Full hour of bowling lets you get a little more than just one game in too. If you had a party of 12 you could get two lanes together for a sweet party.

Delicious food. Arcade. Bowling. Unique Cocktails. What more could anyone ask for? We had the burger, shrimp and grits, and hush puppies. Everything was delicious. I cant wait to go back.

Loads of fun! Retro video games, bowling, drinks, and food! What more could any millennial want? Manager was very gracious in allowing my friend and I to finish our bowling game (it’s pay by the hour). The Armory Burger and Old Fashioned I ordered left nothing to be desired. Will definitely be going back and taking friends with me!

Wow so neat! Never knew this was right inside Lancaster city. Bowling and ski ball and all kinds of the older arcade games. Dining and a bar area also!

The building itself looks like a old apartment building and is a little un assuming. The people there were nice and friendly. It had alot of retro arcade games to pick from. Some of the machines said they needed 2 tokens but really only required 1 to run. The bar it pretty well stocked. The place also offers a resturant and a bowling alley with 6 lanes. Down side is to rent a lane it is automatically for 6 people but the prices are fair.

Great food with a wide selection of beverages. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Brings me back with all the awesome retro games on hand. A must stop in Lancaster.

Good bar food choices for snacking on while playing skeeball, pinball and classic arcade games.

Place is beautiful and the waitress was outstanding. There’s plenty of games to play and have fun while you drink. But the food was just “different”. They had nothing but vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free food. It’s good for those who like that type of food but as for those who don’t, WHERE are the ribs! I feel as though there menu should have more of a variety. I asked for hot wings and they only had ONE type of wings that was lathered in some type of sauce they had. So fine, I’ll give it a try. I didn’t like the wings at all So I asked for something different and I didn’t like that either. The waitress was so sweet with changing my food and making me feel comfortable about not liking the food. The second thing I got was the crab pretzel bowl. Sadly I didn’t like it either. I don’t think I’ll ever be eating there again BUT I do see my self returning just to enjoy the bar and games they have.

This place is ok, but the replay is poor. Not a very good variety of actually good games. Fun for about 30 minutes. The one pinball machine has been broken for over a year. Pretty good beer selection. Bowling was fun.

Decades has its pros and cons. The food wasnt great but wasnt awful. The wings looked greasy and unappetizing. The meatloaf wasnt bad but closer to bar food. The cornbread was decent. Theyve got a good selection of arcade games, but it was on the outdated token system which limited play. No pool table or air hockey tables. They had a good 80s playlist. It was a cash bar for a work event, which was fine, but they didnt go out of their way to provide non-alcoholic drinks and it felt like for an event they were proving the bare minimum of service.

Rad facility, fun staff, good drinks and Ferris on the VHS. Totally Awesome to the max. Almost as fun as a MotorVice 80s themed car show. 5 stars. A great place to spend time with pals.

Unbelievably delicious food at great prices! Great atmosphere. Lots of fun. Service was a tiny bit slow, but Im sure that will improve.

Food was tasty. Love the drinks, and dessert was delicious! Pricey though

The games are a lot of fun. Bar service was phenomenal. Great cocktail menu. Food wasnt anything to write home about. We had a good time, will definitely be back.

We had a group from work there tonight. Menu has a wide variety of things to choose from. I went with the pulled pork sandwich. Good flavor and opted for a side of Mac n cheese. That is a must to try. The arcade part is really cool. Playing the games was awesome. Reminded me of when I was younger and they are only one token per game. Nice place to hangout with a group.

The bar was crazy at 8pm on a Saturday, but other than that, it was so much fun! A long wait for bowling, but that was filled with classic arcade games. Overall great experience!

Big portions of food. The games were great but so many of them had issues with them that you couldnt play them to their potential. Ill go back BUT they need to fix and/or add games.

We had our company holiday party here this evening. We had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in, had dinner and bowled. This place is top - notch! Look forward to coming back soon !~Stumpys Hatchet House

Bowling, arcade games and pinball. Wine, Spirits and beer. Good food. Had a birthday party here and everyone had a great time. The decor is amazing. Was an old armory, if you love old buildings you must make the time to stop by for dinner and drinks.

Awesome, creative drinks (edible orchids !), tasty food and affordable arcade games.

Fun place with lots of old school arcade games! Drinks were pretty pricey and the bartenders were not very attentive. The wait staff was great and the food was good!

Decades never disappoints!! What a unique atmosphere and experience!! The cocktail menu is fantastic - old fashioned is the best ( almost beats my husband’s )

Loved loved LOVED this place! Super cool retro look (but clean modern bathroom). Super friendly staff are very nice and helpful (our first time). Food was awesome (wings and fresh cut fries)! Great craft beer selection! The retro games were so much fun! Bowling was fun too, we even had our own server while bowling! She kept drinks and food flowing! Even took a picture for us. I cant wait to go back!

Excited to have a place to do things in Lancaster. There are many great places for delicious food and drink in Lancaster city, and Decades is that -- but much, much more. Classic arcade games that are cheap to play (1 quarter, and a few are $0.50), bowling lanes with huge comfortable couches and food/drink delivered to your lane, and even a space to order drinks/food and play classic N64 games (Goldeneye, WCW vs. NWO). Great for families and children for dinner (it is 21 and over after 9PM), but the place was clearly designed for adults who identify as big kids.

I give the atmosphere 5 stars, the service 1 star, and the food 2.5 stars. Our server was probably the worst server I have ever had at a restaurant. He was very forgetful, unfriendly, and provided super slow service. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was SO dry!! I took a few bites and couldnt eat anymore - it was so bad. The fries were good though. My husband enjoyed his chicken and biscuit sliders and my daughter liked her grilled cheese, so thats a plus. Just stay away from the chicken sandwich. I highly doubt well go back for the restaurant. Probably would go back just for the arcade.

EPIC place. Cool Atmosphere, food fantastic, good service. Great space in renovated Armory, oldschool arcade games, bowling, skeeball, big monitors to play XBox etc games. Some relatively healthy choices on menu (like the Beef Brisket on Flatbread shown) and some decent mocktails for the non-drinker. Great multigenerational family place, check though because some nights it is 21+ after 9 pm.

Place is great for large groups of people. Just a lot of fun games and good environment for a large group. Probably too expensive for the libations though, and the bowling is a bit too expensive as well compared to other local places you can drink and bowl.

Bowling seemed kind of pricey to me, but the arcade games and drinks are excellent. Most expensive game is 2 tokens, and you get 20 for $5. And then, to top that, first place I managed to get a Death in the Afternoon. Plus my girlfriends Moscow mule was superb.

Cant comment on the food or cocktails, but the overall experience and atmosphere is simply fun. Great vintage games and bowling has the place buzzing. Highly recommend a visit.

Decent collection of old school arcade games. Drinks were reasonable. Wait staff was very friendly. I will be back.

Pretty cool concept, slightly dysfunctional due to the open concept, the noise travels and can be distracting when its busy. Food was good, games were fun, bar is huge and the drinks were delicious. Parking garage next door is super convenient.

Great time, fun bowling, food was good. Bathrooms clean and employees were all friendly. They do not give you a bill, its all electronic, we paid our bill and email receipt was emailed..Checked it and we were charged 5 bucks for french fries no one ordered. Next time I will be asking to see what we are being charged for before handing them my cc.

Went here for a holiday party. The food was horrible. I was very disappointed,nothing was labeled so you had no clue what you were eating.

Great bowling and arcade games. Relatively cheap most games are $.25 and then the drinks are great. Wouldnt necessarily recommend going for dinner though, often busy but can help add to the environment

My wife and I have been to Decades plenty of times to eat, bowl, and play some arcade games, but this experience topped them all. After our wedding this past Sunday, our wedding party, parents, friends and family came in around 9:30pm. The crew at Decades couldn’t have been more accommodating! They pulled together tables so we could all sit and celebrate as a group, and all of our guests had an absolute blast gaming, bowling, and skee-balling.Huge shout-out the entire staff and especially to our bartender, Jordan, who was mixing up phenomenal drinks for 30+ people and kept the party going! Can’t wait to come back, and can’t recommend them highly enough for parties, events, or any fun night out in Lancaster!

They have a good concept they just need to work out some of the issues. The decor is classy, and retro. It was fun to have some dinner and play some ski ball. The menu was creative, but the execution of the food was so-so. The service was pretty slow, and we were there on a Wednesday night.

Neat repurposed building. Bowling is pin setter style, and arcade is small, but super cool place.

Great place to hang out. Food was ok. The games are played with no tickets. Keep playing and win nothing except a high score.

This is a fun place, but the 21+ after 8pm seems like a bit much.

It was cool, waitress was really nice

This place is amazing!!! Even better than I expected! It is SO much fun!! The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Our server, Meg, was on it! She was personable, had great drink and food recommendations, she was fast, and she was attentive. It was a really fun night out. The games are only 25cents and there weren’t lines for anything when I was there (it was a Friday night). Our food was out within 20 minutes of ordering and the apps took only 5-10 minutes to come out. The drinks were great as well. I didn’t bowl because there were only three of us, but the people bowling looked like they were having a good time! I definitely want to go back and try it out! The eggplant dish was really quite delicious and the vinegar aioli for the fries was neat and yummy! Overall it’s a very cool place! All staff I interacted with were great...kind, warm and welcoming!! So glad this is in Lancaster :)

Retro meets modern. Large bar, bowling alleys, old school arcade and delicious food.

Loved it! This is my new favorite place to hang out. I think that what I liked the most is that the place was filled with older people mid 30 and over. Service was great and cost is very affordable. You can only have a great time here.

Great place! Lots of different arcade games and bowling. Drinks are a little bit pricey. Overall good place to go for a nightout in downtown Lancaster.

Had a good time with my brother-in-law and family.

Very unique buildingSuch a cool set up inside with arcade, bowling, bars and restaurantsGreat selection for barVery good apps...loved the pretzel bites

As far as the games and bar goes I don’t really have any issues except drinks are a bit pricey. But the food is another story. My boyfriend and I ordered the pretzel crab dip bowl. It was a small portion, cold, and barely any crab. If it was hot and had more crab it would have been great! I had the flank steak flatbread. Again.. would have been great if it came out hot. Although it was a huge portion so it is worth the price size wise. This place really has the potential to serve awesome food. But first they need to have hot food and larger portions for some of their items if they are going to charge so much.

They mixed up our burgers twice and overcooked all of them. The staff was very nice, but the burgers were not good. Fries and appetizers were decent.

I love this place! The only complaint I have is that the table was wobbly. I love the environment and I love that they combined bowling in the mix with arcade games. Food was delicious and there is a great selection of beer. Im very excited about what the future holds for this place!

Little pricey, but the arcade atmosphere is really fun for a group date! Wait staff was accommodating and super friendly. They even have a 4-controller N64 couch station set up with Mario Kart!

Amazing service & atmosphere. Hands down great local experience

Just had a team building night out. WOW !!! What a great place, service, food was great. Everyone enjoyed.

Despite the fact that we were just at the bar and enjoyed lunch, Im going to call it right here. This is officially one of the coolest spots in town. I didnt exactly know what to expect going into it, but it deserves the rep that it got from my friends when it first opened up.You can buy tokens for arcade games, you can bowl. They have six bowling lanes and an additional smaller bar in that area of the large expanse that is that building. The food was excellent, the bartender was knowledgeable of his craft, and the beer selections featured local and notable craft beer alike, and this may be a new spot for cocktails for me. Will return, and soon.

Inviting, charming, retro and hidden gem. So much fun!

It was great, The games were awesome, The food was exquisite and the WiFi was extraordinary.

The food and drinks are fantastic. The staff are attentive and friendly. The arcade is clean and has a lot of variety. Adults and kids will have a blast here!

This is a Lancastrian gem. I absolutely love the 80s themed arcade games!

It was my first time there. I found it to be really fun. Unfortunately I had teens and only 21 and up after 8:30pm, had to cut my visit short. Will definitely return but earlier.

Its alright, I dont know how to describe it any other way. The only thing that stands out is the bar. The drinks and prices are good. The arcade is cool but not enough variety and spacing issues. Bowling is fun but using strings to put the pins back they get tied up almost every strike which eats into your time you rent the lane for.

This place is so very cool!! Food is unique, DELICIOUS!, large portions and reasonably priced. Drink menu is very unique and theyre so good!! All the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is really cool. Great lounge areas and the game offerings between arcade and bowling is fun. Will be back again and again.

What a great place to hang out, and enjoy great drinks and amazing food while enjoying the good old arcades and great bowling alley! Definitely a must visit spot in Lancaster with friends!

The idea of this place is great, but the bar service is absolutely horrible. Waiting half an hour to even be asked by the bartender what I wanted and it wasn’t even a super busy night. Most of the time I would just wait for a while and then give up and walk away. It’s actually terrible. And the worst part is that have at least 3-4 bartenders there at a time but only ONE even bothers to take orders. Also they tell you to sit at the high top tables to get immediate service from the waiters and the waiters DO NOT come. Love the games, hate the service for everything else.

Loved this place! Great food, bowling and classic arcade games! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The bathrooms were some of the cleanest Ive ever seen in a public place.

Decades is fun, adorable and something unique!!! I enjoyed my experience there so much. I got the pleasure of having the lovely Meg serve me and my friends during our time spent here! I would definitely check Decades out if you are in the area!

Great food and fun

Great fun, bowled and played games that we loved.
