I was planning on giving this place five stars before I went, but I decided to check it first before giving this review. Thankfully this place is awesome and the staff is super nice, so I can still give it five stars!

GO, just go! Awesome place wonderful and cool. I cant say enough

One of the coolest, unique places in New Orleans. Almost any arcade game you could want to play on actual arcade cabinets.The owner is cool and genuinely passionate about his collection

Everything nostalgic for the 80s babies. All the games you know and love from your childhood, frequently playing VHS classics on the projector, good selection of snacks at the bar. $5 for all-you-can-play is an amazing value. Keep up with their social media...frequent gaming tournaments and live hip hop shows.

Best place in the world! A true arcade.

Great place to chill out and play some good cabinet arcade. Always a good price and atmosphere. Bring the friends and get that NBA jams tournament going!

Awesome dude, awesome arcade. Runs on donations, with different prices for different amounts of time that you can hang out and mess around.Somehow not really a gentry? Just a dude with some cool cabinets and good interior design taste.Also, this is my opinion, dont eat him alive for what i said, you wanna be petty talk to me

This place is absolutely awesome. Great games, they have almost any game you can think of. I hosted my bday here!

All the classic arcades at an affordable price.

Sea Cave is a seriously cool, throwback arcade experience. Donation based, you simply place 5 bucks in the cash box, then proceed to play at the arcade cabinet of your choice.They also have consoles like the Sega Dreamcast, Atari 2600 and PlayStation 2 that you can play. From time to time they host fighting game tournaments too.Id definitely visit Sea Cave again.

I absolutely love this place. Takes me back to my childhood. Great game selection. Best 5 dollars I spend

Went to check out Wino Willy and the Counter Sessions beat showcase and it was very fire. I very much want to come back.

The reason for the 3 stars:The good:The place is nice if you are really into nostalgia arcade gaming.For 5$ youll get tones of options... But dont come to socialize with more then one person. Cute place for a date for sure and it is also BYOB!Bad:There is not really a place to really sit and talk.They dont offer cooked food (snacks out of bags or from fridge)We came in a group of 5 and we barely spoken the entire night.Conclusion:Come on a date. Otherwise play at home or go to a bigger bar.

Amazing place you must go to if you ever was a gamer. It brought back a lot of childhood memories. Had a great time and definitely will go back... often. :^)

$5 for hundreds of different games. Really cool music (vapor/synthwave and 90s hip hop) and atmosphere. Easily the best retro arcade experience in NOLA.

Hasnt opened yet, but I have a feeling its going to be great so I gave it 5 stars. Been waiting for a real life fun arcade...this may be the closest thing is recent years. Cant wait!Update:I checked out their pre-opening street fighter 2 turbo competition. Saw some old friends and made some new ones. I was knocked out in the first round, but for $5 to enter and all the video games I could play for the rest of the night...it was an awesome time for sure. I will definitely going back for more. I hope these guys succeed with the location. Best of luck to you.

My favorite chill spot!

Great spot to chill and make new friends. Very accommodating. Great selection of games (including all kinds of Neo Geo games, all Street Fighters and plenty of other stuff). They opened recently & Ive already been here twice. Its donation-based since the arcades dont take quarters.

We had such a fantastic time at this arcade. When they say that they have thousands of games, that is no exaggeration. We played old school street fighter while listening to trance and synth music, then shifted to playing multiplayer arcade games like AVP. The owner was cool, knowledgeable and will even play you himself. For $5 you can literally play all day. There is a bar across the street if you need adult beverages. The setup simply cant be beat, youll have a hard time finding a game they dont have

Great peeps insteresting place!They take suggestions and are responsive, the literal only downside is that the parking us kinda tight!

Amazing place to play classic video games for five dollar donation.... Judah is always upgrading the place and i love the ideas he has planned

Awesome games!

One of my favorite spots in the city. Donate a few dollars and play all the games you want. Multicade systems with 1000s of games. 5 1/2 gold stars.

A whole lot of videogames best arcade Ive found so far...

Seriously fun and the owner was very welcoming! Youll be tempted to play all day!

Amazing place to play alot of classic arcade games with tons of variety, and its a great place to meet new people

Its a fun retro arcade with fun retro events. (80s/90s)

Old school gaming and a great price!

Awesome selection of games for only five bucks, will definitely be back

Had games. Not the ones I wanted. Just wanted to play Mario.

The owner Juda is really cool, he let me test drive some of his classic games before they opened. They have old-school hits like Street fighter and Mortal Kombat as well as pinball machines and Mrs. Pac-Man. It’s BYOB and they are conveniently located across the street from Bud Rip‘s bar, so you can get your drink on and relive the 80s. The suggested donation is three dollars (which is dirt cheap, so I recommend dropping more cash.) And finally they have weekly tournaments with cash prizes, which makes this arcade the GREATEST EVER! This kind of quirky business is exactly what New Orleans needs.

Easily the best arcade in New Orleans hands down.

$5 bucks and the kids can play all the arcade games for as long as they want!

Great old school style arcade!

I love you.
