My main concern was that many of the video game machines had mechanical problems. Some buttons didn’t work, and the joysticks only responded in one direction. I'd estimate that about a quarter of the machines were completely unplayable, which was really disappointing.

Most of the classic dishes are available, although some may have minor flaws reminiscent of the past. Overall, it’s not a bad experience. Maintaining this kind of business model can be challenging, so hopefully they will address the wobbly machines and make some necessary updates. Let’s continue to support this place, as it has a lot of potential.

As parents we love the games as well but the nostalgia factor is more so what we enjoy. To top it all off they have decentselection of beer and drinks to enjoy while you game. I definitely recommend checking out retrocade?definitely worth the smallentry fee.
