I came here today just to play video games. They have pinball machines that cost 1 dollar (4 tokens) and old school arcade games that cost 1 token (25 cents per token). Two floors of video games, the first floor has fewer games than the second floor. Thebar tender can give tokens or you can use the change machines. Did not see Token Specials. Most of the really cool games likeJoust, Defender, 1942, NFL Blitz, and Karate Champ did not work as either they were turned off or the coin mech's were notworking properly. I lost 1 dollar and fifty cents worth of tokens to non working coin mechs, the bar tender will refund youwith no hassle. The rest of them worked like Donkey Kong, X-Men, Mario Brothers, Popeye, Frogger, Tapper, Double Dragon,Commando, Ms Pacman, Pac-man, Galaga, Missile Command, Bizzerk, Tempest, Rampage, Q-bert, NBA Jams, Teen age Mutant NinjaTurtles, Simpsons, Gauntlet, Burger Time, Centipede, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom 1, Dig Dug, and Asteroids, Parking outfront is lacking. Maybe you can park out back but the signs are confusing so... I noticed they had Atari 2600 consoles there aswell but did not play with them. I would have awarded 5 stars for perfect working games but... Great looking Staff and veryhelpful. They serve beer, liquor, and food. I posted pictures. Did not try the food, just played 5 dollars worth of games.
This place has so much potential as a pinball hot spot but the OP is terrible. The machines are filthy, and I mean never been cleaned filthy. Machines have broken mechs, damaged scoops that have known fix actions, etc... There is no contact informationlisted for the OP and no Repair Book on site that I could find. I would have asked a bartender but they were MIA most of thetime. This kind of place is bad for the pinball hobby. New people come in, try a game, it's dirty and broken, they feel theygot ripped off, and they never give pinball another chance. If you are an above average player, you may be able to at leastgrind some value out of a visit. Over two nights, I played for over 5 hours on $6 total because the Replays are so low thanksto the games being trashed. If you can avoid broken shots and mechs, and know enough about the game rules to grind points, youcan hit replays pretty consistently. This place should be thriving with pinball leagues and tournaments but the OP is killingpinball instead. To the owners, tell your pinball OP to clean and fix their games or to get lost. Why split coin drop with thisclown? Just buy your own games and get a decent pin tech. Your business would explode.
This place is SO much fun! They have an amazing line up of the old school pinball machines and arcade games, spanned over two floors. Each floor has a bar. The service was great, food was delicious, and the beer selection was on point. At the time Ivisited, they had Free Verse on tap, which is a staple. I?ll be back soon! ????
Amazing place! Visited for a networking event and we participated in trivia that night too. So much fun overall. Lots of the machines and games took me back to my childhood (tons of bonus points there). They even have fantastic decor to match. Food anddrinks are well priced. Parking leaves something to be desired but again the night I went there was trivia and a privatenetworking event taking place so it might?ve been outside of the norm.

I always have a great time at Pixels. I enjoy the food, even though my friends don't. The cocktails are fantastic though. Pixels has two floors filled with arcade games, pinball machines, skee-ball, and air hockey. They even have a giant 4-person PacMan and a mechanical Pong. There is also a second-floor outdoor deck. Last time I was there, everyone got silly when the Chicken Dance came on. My favorite game is Kiss pinball. Kids are allowed in until 9 pm.
First time there. Atmosphere Lively and upbeat. It's was fun alot going on everyone enjoy themselves. Plenty of games . The fun food was good. Wings and fries. The drinks was good. Our server she was good . A little slow getting our stuff. But overall the experience was good. Yes will come backParking: All the parking in front was full. I didn't see no handicap parking. If there was additional parking. didn't see no signs. Had to park on street and walk back to restaurant. Also all games on second floor
The restaurant is equipped with 2 levels and a cool layout featuring several rooms filled with all the arcade games you could want, as well as ski-ball, pinball, and air hockey. Combining all of this with delicious food and drinks guarantees a great time. Don't forget to check out their fantastic happy hour craft cocktails. Food rating: 5/5.
The loaded tater tots were delicious. The beer selection was fantastic, and the bartender recommended a new one from Founders called Green Zebra, which was also delicious. There were plenty of old games to play, but the cleanliness of the restaurant could have been better. Overall, I would give it a rating of 4 out of 5 for its food.
Awesome little retro arcade/Restaraunt and bar. Came in for about an hour, had some food and played some games. We had the Greek burger with tater tots and Buffalo chicken wrap with French fries. Food was on point and definitely would like to come back to check out more of their menu. The pinball games were by far the most fun for us to play, but there are also old cabinet games, skeeball, air hockey, and old console games scattered about. We spent 10 dollars on tokens and only used about 7 in the hour we were there. The waitress behind the bar was attentive and helpful as well. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't crowded at all. Can't wait to go back!Parking: There is some additional parking just past the railroad tracks.
