Great bar with retro games that are free to play. Some pinball and premium games like Mario kart were pay to play so be aware of that. They have daily specials and the drinks are all very affordable. Very friendly bartenders as well! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $1–10

I wish I could remember what the name of the my bartender was but she was hilarious and a joy to talk to! My partner and I came on a Thursday night and we had a great time. The vibes were good and the entire staff was extremely nice. Not sure if it's every night but they were giving out popcorn with the drinks. One of the bartenders would routinely come by our table and refill our popcorn which was a little cherry on top that I didn't expect. Overall I definitely look forward to coming back .

Rolled into Replay Lakeview last Friday night and grabbed a $6 draft, a bourbon cocktail, and tossed a few quarters into the vintage pinball and Street Fighter machines. The vibe’s loud, funky, and dead‑on that Lakeview barcade feel, free popcorn, friendly bartenders, and a solid craft‑beer lineup. Spent a couple hours goofin’ around, felt like a proper throwback with buds. Would definitely swing by again for another round of games and brews.

Retirement parties are always fun with an open bar.
