"Galactix Taphouse + Arcade opened in downtown Astoria with 24 taps of beer and cider, pizza, and a variety of pinball machines and ‘80s-style arcade games. The interior is designed to look like a spaceship, in a subterranean bar space lit with teal neon. Customers pay for game play via an app, and the space is open to anyone 13 or older." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

This place is so freaking sweet! They have so many unique options for beers as well as a very fun and iconic video game selection. The employee Jessie gave us the grand tour and explained in detail all the necessary information pertaining to our crews and games, it felt as if he was purpose built(by god) to do this exact job. I cannot recommend this place enough, it felt like a total spaceship.

Loving the emerging gaming culture in Astoria. This place has a unique vibe and the pay via app worked better than I thought it would. Definitely will be back.

Their front door isn’t the most inviting, but if you dare to open it you will immediately launch into hyperspace. Amazing pinball selection, other unique and rare games, an excellent tap list, and a super easy to use payment system. I will absolutely visit again on my next trip to Astoria!

Don't judge this place by its front door. It looks very uninviting, but be prepared to be blown away once you step inside. It looks like some sort of spaceship or something inside. When we got there there was a new gentleman training and both of the employees were very friendly. They had a lot of good beers on tap and some snacks too that were reasonably priced. They didn't have a ton of variety of games, mainly pinball machines. The payment system was sort of convenient but there was a $10 minimum which it seemed like it took forever to burn through for better or worse. We brought our 9-year-old and at no point did she seem out of place. If you have a much younger child, this may not be a great place, however. We will definitely make this one of our regular spots when we visit Astoria.

Ever since discovering Galactix we’ve made it a point to stop in whenever we visit Astoria! As a child of the 80’s I love the ambient sounds of arcades and being able to get a drink while we play (I hear that ethyl alcohol speeds up reaction times) really turns things up to 11. So to speak. My only “complaint” would be the lack of proper cocktails— I’m not a beer drinker but the generous selection of interesting ciders makes up for things. Welcome aboard and cheers!

This place is a totally hidden gem in Astoria. Food was super good and very cheap, i only had soda but the bar looked cool. Theirs maybe 30 machines total so it’s a medium sized arcade and bar but the entire place keeps you immersed in the spaceship vibe Parking is free after 6 and this place opens at 5 so street parking is easy to find

A lot of great touches here -- the warm bar nuts snack, ample taps, cute names and geeky references. The game prices are a little all over the place and the app doesn't work as well as one would like, but it's a great concept that's got a lot of potential. We had fun but mostly the games didn't keep us engaged to stay longer.

Hidden in almost an alley on the basement level sits a throwback arcade whose atmosphere feels more futuristic than retro. Great for kids five and older, and I mean older people who like pinball, vintage video games, plenty of taps and drinks of all kinds. I love how they have this app enabled pay system for all the games and again the atmosphere is out of this world. We played hard for almost an hour on $25 bucks and had credits left over. Definitely check this arcade out.

This place is home away from home for my husband and I! We love the vibe of arcades, but the aesthetic of this place is such a dream! The music, the lights, it's as if you are in a vaperwave star trek ship in cyberpunk world. Our favorite.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised that it wasn't busy. It is a fairly small arcade, but still had a good time playing some of the games. There is a bar to the side, but didn't check out what they served. It's definitely something worth checking out if you like arcades and if you're in the area.

I wasnt expecting much here - coming in from the dingy 'alley' outside it belies the space within - boy was I surprised! The attention to detail using lights and props really made this a cool place to visit, like you were in the bar on the Enterprise. Even an impressive sound system (yes i noticed your cleverly hidden subwoofer!). The games are very reasonably priced. I had a ball for just $10. Drinks and limited food reasonable too. The app worked great, I downloaded it before hand and loaded it with some cash. Look up the game number on the machine and find it in the app (the app shows all the games it 'finds' in bluetooth range with the corresponding numbers) The bathroom is - well, wow. lol Its a little cramped in here - if it was full I could see it being uncomfortable. Lots of old favorites here - asteroids, space invaders, 1942. Its about half pinball and half arcade. The pinball games were really fun too. Kids over 5 can attend with their parents. Definitely coming back.

Fun little arcade tucked underground and filled with awesome arcades! It isn't that big, but it has a great variety of pinball machines and old school. You can get drinks also and there are a couple booths to sit. It wasn't too busy, but all the machines worked and we enjoyed our time.

Killer service, pinball machines need work. Great ciders. How are these machines not liked to Stern ? Such a waste of coins .. I'm mean you have a pinball bar... Most machines need lots of work. The only balanced one was old Star Wars. If the owner gets a bubble level and takes better care of the machines/ this place would blow up. But as it is, the service is better than the gameplay - the atmosphere is cool though .

Cute little arcade! I really enjoyed the futuristic space decor of the interior. Even the bathroom was cool and remained on the galactic theme. We went on a Sunday evening (around 5-6:00 pm), and we had the place to ourselves for the first couple of minutes. The only thing that was interesting about the place is that the games only accepted payment through an app you have to download on your phone.

We had a great time playing all the different pinball machines and a couple of video games we used to play on our Nintendos when we were kids. We didn't try any refreshments as we had just had a huge lunch, but it was a great way to spend a bit of time. I was really impressed with the number and quality of the machines!

Amazing hidden gem bar and arcade in Astoria! Stumbled across this sweet underground spot on our visit, and had a ton of fun! Dozens and dozens of old school arcade and pinball machines in a super cool neon sci-fi themed space. Huge local craft beer and cider selection on tap with friendly staff. For us, the retro two-player sit-down racing games were a big hit. The futuristic spaceship theme is so well done. Coming in from the street, it felt like stepping into a little 80s TRON-like other world! FYI, the phone -app based way to pay for games (quick download) made it pretty seamless to play without handling grubby tokens or coins. 5/5. Wish we had a place like it in our city, and worth a stop for drinks and a memorable, super fun time!

So fun and out of this world! Great selection of beers and a super alternative atmosphere

Beautifully designed, themed bar. Carefully laid out to make as much use out of a small space as possible. Beer pricing is good/on average. Food limited to rack-style pizza. Lots of thought went into design here. Sadly, the arcade leaves a bit to be desired. 30 machines tightly arranged is not too great for long term play. Drink holders are on machines, but game selection needs tweaking. They need a few more upright classics and one or two more shooters like Area 51 or something. To be honest, they get a pass on game selection because they're new. Selection increases the longer barcades are open. The lack of stars is due to their clunky pay style for gaming. No game accepts quarters. You have to download an app, with a minimum of ten dollars to add to a purse. Phone reception downstairs is spotty, so this gets quirky. Games are minimum 50 cents. This place feels cool inside, so every tourist should give it a shot. Sadly, I saw lots of people leaving because they didnt want the app.

If you're into pinball, beer/cider and/or Star Wars/Trek, this arcade is for you. Fantastic decor - they did a great job! Good beer selection and good pinball selection. Kids under 13 not allowed and kids must be out after 5 or so. Little hard to find, though. Basically a basement joint in the middle of the block. Had a great time.

It's so cool! If I lived in Astoria, I would come here all the time. I wish it were open longer.

What's good y'all Project Pat from 36 mafia baby. Went here last night and this place is DOPE. Gotta download an app to pay for the games but it's too EZ baby. Beer is good and vibes are trill. Cool ass place. 5 STARS.

Passing through Astoria for a night, we stumbled on this "sci fi lounge" after dinner and were delighted. Definitely was not expecting to find a retro vapor wave themed arcade and lounge in the middle of this calm, somewhat sleepy port town. It was clean, thoughtfully designed and had some fun surprises like Polybius and The Spectre Files: Deathstalker FMV game. Will definitely make sure to come back next time we're in Astoria.

Best (SCI-FI) themed place to chill and play some fun pinball game and enjoy some solid Ciders!!! Staff is super friendly. Lots of thought went into the overall vibe of this place. Definitely one of our favorite spots to visit!

This is an amazing place that you have to see for yourself. Great beer and cider selection, wonderful ambiance and friendly service staff, it's the best kept secret in Astoria. Go to the fish restaurant nearby, then take a left downstairs.

Lots of potential. Amazing attention to detail. Unexpected for a small town of 10,000 like Astoria. Sadly ran out of pizza which is the only food option. (Pizza is from Dominos.) Games were fun and all working! They need more staff and more non-alcoholic drink options.
