Cidercade Arlington

This place is just flat out awesome!!! I've never seen a larger assortment of retro game cabinets, pin ball machines, and arcade style games in one place to play unlimitedly in my entire life for such a resonable price. I grew up with mall arcades that emptied your pockets at every turn ( Red Baron I frequented often ). Those places pale in comparison to this. Modern nickel arcades I've been to where the options are limited and half the cabinets are out of service are pitiful in comparison to Cidercade. This place is massive with tons of room to roam and its ALL up and running. From retro video games to pinball, basketball, skeeball, pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, air hockey, and MORE! Oh and on top of that they have delicious craft ciders so you can get a little buzz on while you play! If you're the non alcoholic type that's ok too because they have an awesome assortment of craft sodas that are also delicious. Speaking of delicious they have one of the best smash burgers I've personally had ANYWHERE. They have other great food options as well that are nothing short of fantastic. AT AN ARCADE!!! So in conclusion for a date night, place to take the kids for some fun, a family gathering, group event, or maybe you just want a solo good time, if you can't find some fun here I don't know what you're looking for because they've got a little something for everyone in my opinion.

Here for a friend's birthday party. Parking was good, ton of games all different types. Can literally bring kids to grandparents seems to cater to every age group. Food was surprisingly better qyality then I'd expected for a gaming place. I had the Smash Burger and Caesar Salad, didnt disappoint.

We had our son's 7th birthday party here! It was so much fun. We hosted about 20 of his friends in the large party room. All of the kids and parents equally had a great time playing all of the free games and billiards. It was rainy and the place was short staffed but super shouts out to Aaron for making the best of it and treating our party with such kindness and great service! We will definitely be back!

​A premier destination offering a damn near perfect blend of top-notch, yet affordable food, drinks, entertainment, and atmosphere. Featuring one of the absolute best arcades you'll ever experience.

This place was GREAT value. All you can play games, good food, great variety of ciders, and beer. We especially enjoyed the shuffle board.

Cidercade Arlington is the winner of all Cidercade locations! They have the best layout, games, food, and outdoor play spaces. This location also has the highest score on friendliest staff. Been taking my son here for years now and we are never disappointed with our experience. Highly recommend heading to downtown Arlington and checking it out! Grab some ciders or their newly added wines and beers. Top location for friend/family time, date night, work parties, and birthday parties!

What a fun experience! I love Cidercade, and this location is a little better than the Fort Worth location in my opinion. Their food is good, but I’m disappointed that this location doesn’t offer pizza. The workers were very friendly, and the price of $12/person for unlimited games makes this an easy decision for a fun date night. It was kind of abrupt for the facility to turn off the games and lights right at midnight, it would be less abrasive to maybe walk around and let patrons know that the facility is closing soon. Being left in the dark to make your way to the exit was strange. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to have a date night or go out with a group of friends, and their food and rewards system only add to the fun experienced here. I would give this business 5 stars if their soda drink lids fit properly on their drinks, but I explicitly let a worker know that I’d be submitting a 4 star review for the inconvenience. I definitely will be returning here in the future, hopefully then they’ll have lids that fit.

This place is so much fun me and my daughter love coming here. Shes not into the retro games like I am. She likes the area where you have to step on a certain colors and it counts down. Its fun and its a workout. She also likes skeeball and air hockey and Mario kart. There's more to offer plenty other racing games, fighting, shooters , music. The food in my opinion is so good. I love the burgers here. Today the bacon in my burger was a little undercooked for my liking. I like it crispy but its the first time that has happened. My daughter gets the chicken and it has good flavor to it. The fries are waffle and curly both our favorites. A little soft serve ice cream hits the spot after. Cons- Once it starts getting packed its a little hard to get around and the games my daughter wanted to play she had to wait.

This was my first visit to a Cidercade. My wife and oldest had been to the one in Ft Worth, and while they had fun and rude employee when they came in had left a bad feeling in their guts. (That doesn't reflect on the Arlington one at all, just means we may avoid the Ft Worth one.) My wife came to check out the Arlington location during a Tax day special, and recommended that we come try this location out. So, we came up with our youngest for his end of school year fun outing. Staff was amazing at this location and they have a ton of space with lots of fun games. They encourage folks to support the nearby businesses and we saw a few people come in with pizza boxes from the pizza place nearby. They have a cider flight for $18 pre tax/tip, at the time I'm writing this, and that/s what my wife & I split on the drink end. They will let you taste 2-3 if you have a hard time comiting, and they are really knowledgeable on the flavors if you need some more information. So they want folks to be happy with what they get, even with having a flight. There is 40 items on tap if I remember correctly. They do give out water cups, and they have fountain drinks. Not name brand soda like Coke or Pepsi but I unfortunately can't recall the brand that they have. I'm thinking of trying that out next time we come. We will for sure keep the Arlington Cidercade as part of our rotation, be it for a friend hang out, date night or something to do with the kids. They do even have some rooms to rent if you want to reserve them for a party. One of our youngest classmates had a party up here, we just couldn't attend to be able to check out how a party ran.

For JUST $12 per person, you get to spend the entire day playing all sorts of arcade games. They have old school video games, to an assortment of pinball machines. They have two bars as well. They do not offer food, but you are allowed to order from outside and bring in, they just ask you clean after yourselves. We didn't get the chance to spend the time we wanted as we had other engagements, but it's definitely a great idea to take the whole family, or group of friends.

This was my second time at any Cidercade, but first at the Arlington location. This location doesn't have a kitchen, so no pizza like the Fort Worth, but they were nicer about my keeping a water bottle in my bag than the other location. Also parking was a bit better than I remember the ft worth location being, but this lot has some competition with neighboring businesses. I came up at 10am and didn't have issues finding a spot but when I went to go grab a bite to eat around 11 I saw folks needing to make a bit of a walk. My gps also took me to the back of the building. Today admission was free due to a Tax day special, so I went ahead and got a cider to enjoy while there. The drinks come from Bishop. They will let you taste 2-3 if you can't make up your mind. This visit I went with the pineapple paradise, though the dreamcycle one really tempted me. For the games they have an awesome amount of games, though I did have my ball get stuck on a few of the pinball games. (Which is where you usually will find me at an arcade.) By myself I could comfortably hang for 2 hours with a break to grab a bite to eat either half way or as I'm leaving. With friends I could see hanging longer, with my youngest kids it really depends on how long he can hang at the games he's familiar with. My one tip would possibly be increase the Mario cart to more than the one I saw. They have some party rooms, pool, shuffle board and corn hole. A few things you need to check items out at the bar. We will for sure keep them in our loop of places to check out.

Unlimited game play - $12 for a one day pass or $20 for a monthly pass!! You can't beat the price but these guys also provide great quality games that are well maintained and super retro and cool. I love their included pool tables, shuffle board, and ping pong tables, too!! I cannot recommend this place enough!!!!

The BEST arcade I've ever been to. Enormous space, huge variety of games that are in great condition, and admission is reasonably priced. I couldn't believe how large it was. It goes on and on. Pinball games, vintage arcade games, recent games, carnival style games, shoot-em-ups, pool table. All of the games were in great condition. I didn't get a chance to try the cider this time, I was too busy playing games!

Okay this place is freaking cool. We literally left thinking how to bring a business like this home. First off, the place is HUGE. The biggest arcade I've ever been to. They have every game you could ever want to try. You buy the wristband and all games are free play which is fantastic, a great bang for your buck. You'll spend hours just looking at all the options because there's so much to chose from. I do wish they served beer as well (they only serve cider), but they did have some great cider flavors and options. The server in the back room was fantastic and super helpful all day. Really cool spot, I wish they had one in every city. We would probably spend every weekend here if we were local.

This has been the best Cidercade yet! I've been to a couple of locations, but I will say that this one is superior and a lot more spacious. As soon as I walk in I was greeted instantly. The bartenders were all super cool and let me try two of the ciders before I settled on the Acai one which was really good. It was $12 for all you can play! There were a lot more games in the Arlington location. Some notable games that I enjoyed were street fighter 6, time crisis 5, and the rhythm games! This location actually has two bars, billards, foot billards ping pong tables, and an absolutely huge shuffleboard area! All of their machines were working for the most part except a few. Bathrooms were clean which is a super bonus for me. There were a lot of spots where people can chill. There was even a lit disco room. Thatt was pretty dope to see. Location was very clean with a friendly staff and awesome staff. I think the only con I can think of is that it was super cold to me. You might want to bring a jacket if you get cold easy, but other than that, I highly recommend!

This is King of the DFW Arcades, yet only features Bishop Ciders on tap. No food cooked here, but you can get delivery from surrounding area, and dine at Cidercade tables. "Cartel Taco Bar" is next door. And only 1 block away is Cane Russo premium wood-fired pizzas & Italian cuisine. I walked over to Cane Russo (means Red Dog in Italian), sat at their sports bar, stuffed myself with great Spaghetti & 3 Meatballs, plus Caesar salad. After this, my gaming reflexes slowed down, a bit. I returned to Cidercade, went to the back bar, way in back with the suffleboard courts, bought a Bishop Cider, and borrowed a chair. I then battled the ASTEROIDS game, which was in very good condition. The game is limited to 99,990 points, then resets back to Zero. My best game was 184,000 points. My best personal game in life is 726,000 points, on the Asteroids at RETROCADE in Rowlett, TX. I got here late on Sunday, I had already spent hours at Cidercade Dallas, a smaller facility. Staff told me that my wristband would be honored at Arlington that day, so I drove the 26 miles! Arlington Cidercade is massive, massive, massive! That should cover it... every type of machine I ever played, plus some I never seen before. Big pinpall alley. Many multi player games if you are with friends. Ping Pong? Tables, with rubber ball & paddles... I was geeking so hard, it annoyed them, so I moved on LOL Anyways, you could spend a whole day here, and not play every machine, game, etc. Arlington, Dallas, Austin, and Houston Cidercade locations await you!

My kids and I lived all the different games in there. Really fun place to go with the family. Everyone was nice to us. Cool part is the different types of sodas.

This place is huge with a lot of games , they have a few modern games mixed in with the retro games, ping pong tables, pools. $12 unlimited play is a great deal! We went at 6pm on a Saturday and it was a mad house. After 8pm it was 21+ and was more relaxing with less people.

What a fun place! Admission is $12 pp, unlimited play! This place is PACKED WITH NEARLY all arcade machines we could think of, spread in about 4 rooms (I didn't really count) with connecting hallways, also lined with arcade games along the wall. Machines are clean & appear to be well-maintained, with only about 4-5 out-of-order machines in entire place, which didn't really matter. They also have shuffle room, pool tables, &'party rooms. There's a bar in the lobby that sells beer. No food or drinks are allowed in arcade area. We spent 2 hours in there & left bc kids got hungry.

I heard they were opening this place up and I couldn't wait to check it out.Let me tell you this place did not disappoint.The place is huge.They have tons of old arcade games.Along with quite a few pinball games.They also have ping pong tables,pool tables and a shuffle board table.I mean the fun never ends until you go get a drink.I mean all they carry is the cider they make.If you don't want that your sol.I tried one which it wasn't too bad but I'm just not much of a cider guy.Not to mention it's almost 9 bucks just for one drink.Like I said it is a cool place with tons of games to play but it would be better if they served food and beer.You can bring your own food to eat but you can't bring your own beer.They want you to drink their cider.I would come back but probably skip the cider.This would definitely be a cool place to have a birthday party or a little get together with friends.

Super fun for all ages you pay a flat fee and play everything unlimited. Indoors they have drinks and food for an additional fee.

Spoke with Madi she helped me and served me well.. I was never big on arcades as a kid but I'm impressed now!

A friend threw their birthday at this location, and I was very much looking forward to it, based on my experiences at the Dallas location. The location is pretty great, and I have to sing praise of the size of this location. It is a behemoth compared to the Dallas Cidercade. I even loved the tucked away room with the rainbow light arch near the back. The birthday party started right around opening, so it was pretty dead, leaving plentiful options for our party to choose from. It was pretty great. However, upon arrival, I spaced and ordered a drink from Starbucks before coming here. I've worked as a hostess, server, and a cashier at a gas station, so I'm quite familiar with TABC laws. When I went to the front to pay for admission, I was told by the associate that I couldn't bring my drink in. I realized in that moment that I wasn't supposed to bring it in, with Cidercade being an establishment that sells alcohol and strict laws against bringing in outside drinks. In that moment, I remarked out loud "I just bought this drink," simply expressing my thoughts. I did not intend or suggest that I bring this drink in, but before I could even say that I would go back to leave the drink in my car, the associate loops in her manager, Brittany, right next to her. Brittany very abruptly and quite frankly, in a condescending manner, demanded that I am not to drink the Starbucks in due to TABC laws. I honestly felt embarrassed because of her attitude towards me in front of other customers. I understand that it was a serious matter and that they probably have to recite this 100 times to other customers, but for Brittany to treat me as if I was trying to sneak a drink in even though it was never my intent, nor did I even ask, to bring my drink in, made me feel guilty for something I didn't even do. I understand that as a manager, it is your job to protect the establishment, especially when it comes to legal matters. But Brittany treating me like a delinquent before I even enter the establishment was a huge buzzkill and made it hard for me to enjoy myself. Completely defeated the purpose of me coming here and spending money. This won't prevent me from going to other CIdercades, but I likely won't return to this location just to avoid Brittany's aggressive attitude.

I am not sure when this location opened but it does look very new. We were going to try the Fort Worth location but this one popped up and it was closer to us. While I really liked the Dallas location. I love this Arlington location. It seems to much more spread out than the Dallas locations. All of the machines look like that are in really good condition. The price was the same as the Dallas location. They have some ciders that at the Dallas locations but they also had some different ones. There wasn't a lot of staff that we seen and they also weren't the friendliest. I like that this location has multiple rooms so it didn't feel crowded. They also have pool tables and shuffle boards. It is a family friendly place until 7/8pm then it is adults only.

$10 cover and all you can play. The arcade was huge. The kids had a blast and adults can drink and play like a kid. They don't serve food but you can have food delivered there or we got hurtados bbq ne

This place is awesome lots of new arcade machines not just retro arcade. Unlimited fountain drinks for $4. Staff was nice and friendly. Everything was really organized and clean. Ping pong, pool tables, pinball, basketball hoop arcade games. I will return! They have the monthly pass for $20.

Took my little 9 year old niece to play on Sunday! Was not crowded at all! First game we hit was Basketball where the timer and start button did not work and the basketballs were all pretty shot some had holes in them! I thought this place was pretty new! The Skeeball machine had balls out but you couldn't start up a game just kept rolling balls out!! Not very fun! Very disappointed for first time there! Also they did not let you know how to play the ping pong game no signs anywhere telling you how to get the supplies or a waitlist! Very frustrating!!

Loved this place! Has a great section of arcade games. It's good for adults and children. My boyfriend and I went during the day, it was pretty busy, but we still got to play plenty of games. I think this place prices for all day play were great! The staff at the front were nice and friendly. I will say the food is pricey but actually not too bad. Food tasted good as well. At night it's 21 and up and I think it would be a great date night idea without having kids everywhere. The overall place was super clean including the restrooms. Will return!

Great fun and Hard Cider!!!! Wish they had one in Midland, TX. My kids had a blast! I will definitely go again.

A great place to go and chill and play some great arcade games! I will be back! Joel was a lovely owner and he makes it worth the while there, also great ciders on tap!

The best Cidercade location in DFW. Great location, plenty of games, pinball machines, and other activities. Nice cider selection and rotating flavors. Outstanding price for all day access

Great place to spent an afternoon on a date, with the family or, friends. One entry fee and all the games you can stand. You may have to be patient to play your favorite game but it is worth it. Cider and soda inside with good tacos across the parking lot

Wife and I went here and had a great time. Lots of fun games. The only issue I had is that they only serve hard cider for alcohol. I get that's their whole thing, being named Cidercade and all, but I find cider to be too sweet. Just one beer! C'mon! Still, we will definitely return.

Fun place, great prices, good ciders! Will be back for more!! $12 a day or $20 for the month. 21+ after 8pm. Huge space, with every game you could think of. I really enjoyed the Texas Strawberry cider! Also, its bring your own food! I recommend grabbing some burgers at Grease Monkey down the street.
