15 Best Bars in Orlando, Florida | Condé Nast Traveler

"A $5 cover charge gets you unlimited retro arcade games in Player 1, a dark, clubby bar filled with video games and craft brews. It's no-frills, sure, but it's also an incredibly fun way to spend an afternoon. Hardcore video game nerds flock here, obviously, but there's also a strong contingent of craft beer devotees. There's a solid selection of it, too, ranging from gose and sours to Belgians to mead. There's no liquor and only a handful of wines—but come on, you didn't come here for the Chardonnay." - Laura Ratliff

Video Game Bar Makes Its Way to Las Vegas - Eater Vegas

"Catering to cosplayers, video game fans, and craft beer connoisseurs, Orlando, Florida’s Player 1 Video Game Bar is expanding to Las Vegas. Announced as “coming soon,” but not yet revealing an exact location, a menu of uncommon beers, sakes, meads, and wines will be served by “beer-tenders,” all encouraged to dress as their favorite video game character. The original location debuted in 2013 and offers more than 150 bottled beers, with an additional 50 choices on draft, plus more than 40 ciders and 15 different meads. Non-alcoholic “craft sodas” and draft root beer are also available. In Orlando, guests pay a $5 cover charge for unlimited time on arcade cabinets and consoles including “Atari, NES, N64, PSX, PS4” models. Customers can also order local food delivery, but any casual dining options for Las Vegas have not yet been revealed." - Bradley Martin

This place tops ANY arcade place I’ve ever been to. I’d come here on vacation from NJ, and it beats Barcade by a LOOONGGG SHOT. It’s just one price to get in, and all the games are free aside from the rentals. They have a vast selection of beers which is cool, and the service here always rocks. One small let down was the attendant in the entrance that read my partners ID incorrectly. His birthday was yesterday, and she mentioned that ppl under 21 cant enter unless he comes at some other time”. 😑 Obviously she read his ID incorrectly. After mentioning it was his 21st bday she rechecked it. We paid our cover, and went inside. Not a big deal, but just wanted to mention that.

The bartender was amazing. The treatment was top notch. They have a rotating choice of beers, and the list is pretty large. Terrific atmosphere. Food choices are not as good, but you aren't there for food. You're there for games and they have a ton. New and old.

Awesome staff, super friendly people, they’re all super funny and down to earth. Rotating drink menu, so lots of fun choices! Great atmosphere, fun people, good drinks. Absolutely my favorite bar, love their trivia on Tuesdays!

Don't let these bogus one star reviews fool you; Player One is one of the best hidden gems in Orlando! Super friendly staff, reasonable prices, and great drinks to boot! Add the fact that you and your friends can rent out a console for $5 an hour?! It's a great night out or a cool spot to wait for your table at Susuru next door (and then come back for some after dinner sake!) Since it's a bar, of course you're gonna need your ID to get in and drink, though they do make exceptions for *some* of their non-explicit content events. Bring your theme park employee ID to get a discount on entry too!

We had a fantastic time at Player 1 for St. Patrick’s Day! The festive Irish Red beer (green and glittery!) was such a fun touch, and the whole atmosphere was perfect for gaming and hanging out. Our bartender, Micael, was incredible—so friendly and attentive, and we genuinely enjoyed chatting with her. Huge thanks to her for the great beer suggestions and for making our St. Patty’s Day even more fun! We had a blast playing Mario Kart at the bar and getting competitive with Overcooked 2. Definitely a must-visit spot for gamers and beer lovers. Already looking forward to our next outing here!

A cool bar if you like video games. Pay once to play as much as you like. At least 30 cabinet games, a few consoles, etc. Galaga, Mrs PacMan, Operation Wolf, Tetris, Centipede, SFII, Smash TV, Simpsons, etc. TVs w/ Twitch streamers. A bar w/ lots of beers to choose from. Prices are $1 or $2 higher than usual. Cup holders near most games. Decor is dark neon roller skating vibes with gaming paraphernalia about. Kids under age can stay till 8pm.

Preem selection of retro cabinets, all free to play, and friendly staff. You do have to pay a cover but that lets you in and out all day and it's cheap so definitely worth it! They trivia and bingo every week and usually some fun other events at least a few times a month so there's always a lively crowd. Staff keeps things a safe place for LGBT too, which is a big selling point as far as I'm concerned. Only thing that would make this place better is if they had video game and anime karaoke events, but I'll forgive this single transgression. 5/5 definitely recommend!

I decided to stop in this evening after work and get a quick drink the drink tonight I got was the Blakes hard cider key lime pie flavored; I normally do the cigar city Keylime pie however this one is very Limey and not too sweet which I really like. I think for Can it is about $6.50; might get a side of chicken tenders with bbq. If you haven't been to player one it is a video game themed bar to get in it is now six dollars for a cover charge. From 8 o'clock to 12 AM or 2 AM it is 21 and up only. 10/10

We love 1 player game bar. The staff is really friendly and quick. The names of the drinks on their menu are cute and funny. My friend ordered different types of craft beers, but she didn't like them much, so she ended up switching to a cocktail, which was so good I had a FL seltzer, which I hated, so I switched to a Bacardi mojito, and it was perfect. Very fresh They have a lot of options for arcade machines and consoles, so you will definitely find a game that you like." Keep in mind that to get the remotes, you need to give them your ID

Love this Arcade! Cool bar that you can play Mario Kart from. Huge selection of beers on draft and cans. Nice comfy gamer chairs. Old school games like Pac Man, Donkey Kong, X Men, Mortal Combat, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Popeye, and so much more. FL residents just pay $6 for unlimited games.

Perfect for the rainy day or any day here in orlando! This place is amazing offers unlimited games for 7-8$ a person and the beer selection is off the charts with Atleast 50+ selections of anything you are looking for from sours,IPA,ciders,Etc... The games are mostly retro but they do infact have consoles at the bar which you can play smash bros and Mario katt and several other awesome games while you drink which is a super unique concept. The bar tenders were great and I got some ales that I've never even seen before like the pink watermelon sour or the warhead sours (yes from the candy co) This is an excellent place to spend time in Orlando that is not a theme park and it's budget friendly with very tasty beers 10/10 I would recommend to stop by!

The games here are fun if you like retro, which I do! I could play Pac-Man for hours. However, my boyfriend is not into the older games so he got bored pretty quick. The price was great at $5 ($4 for FL residents) and you can come and go all day at that price, with your wrist band. We went during a weekday when they opened so it was just us and one other person hanging out. The door greeter was pleasant and helpful with explaining everything. Although we did not eat here, the bar had a menu with a few food items you can order and you have the option of ordering take out from the Chinese restaurant next door, and bringing it in to eat; which I thought is nice. The disappointment for me was my interaction with the bar tender. The main reason I wanted to come here was to try a couple beers because they have such an extensive selection. I don't know much about beer but I know what I do and don't like from ones I've tried. I had hoped she'd help me by suggesting some, but her lack of care and tone of voice came off like she wasn't interested. I picked one, didn't like it, and wanted to try another. However since I felt like I was shooting in the dark picking I decided not to bother ordering anything else. There was definitely missed sales opportunity there due to first impressions. Oh well.

My cousin was visiting from IL and suggested we meet up here to hang out and enjoy some game time. He brought along friends he was staying with and brought my bf along. I'd been here once a long time ago and was excited to go again! The prices here are great for games. You can play almost everything as much as you want for $5 (for FL residents, I believe it was $8 for out of state visitors). There are a lot of old school arcade games and some console games available under the cover charge. If you want to play PS5 or new Xbox games, there is an hourly rental charge, but it was also pretty reasonable. We had enough to keep us occupied with the cover. We beat Ninja Turtles in Space and The Simpsons so felt very accomplished haha. We also hung at the bar playing Smash Brothers and Mario Kart (only requirement for those is an open bar tab). Speaking of the bar, the bartenders were friendly and they had a huge craft beer selection which was awesome. They also serve food, but we did not partake during this visit as we went for dinner elsewhere. My only complaint is some of the console games use large joystick controllers that are in need of some maintenance. The joysticks did not work well on some making them too difficult or frustrating to play. Some did not seem to respond at all. But overall, we had fun and enjoyed the games we did play and my cousin and I had fun bonding over games we played together as kids playing now as adults! I definitely recommend checking this barcade out!

Checked out this fun place after dining at Susuru! There is a $5 entrance fee (for FL residents- and I believe discounted to $4 if you are a theme park employee) which allows you access to play the games in the arcade! They have a great selection of craft beers! Other alcohol beverages include cocktails, wine, beer and ciders! I love their season menu and some of my favorites that I tried recently are the Pumking Pumpkin and PSL! I love that they have events- check out their website for more details but every Tuesday they have Trivia from 8-10pm!

My hubby heard about this place so we are in the neighborhood so we came to check this out! The place is plenty cool! You can play all the retro games and then there is also switch games and tv to watch for! And the of course here is the bar with all the drinks and sitting area and stuff! The staff are all friendly and we got to play some of the games and they brought me back to my childhood! Oh we are Florida residents and there is a special for $5 for us. So that is even cooler!

Was looking for a chill spot outside the Disney area. I waited 25 minutes at the bar to get served a drink while the bartender bantered with other guests. I can make better pizza rolls in my microwave. Game selection OK. I wanted to love it, but it was a flop.

Such a fun and unique location in Orlando. Came in on a Sunday night for date night. Wait time to eat at a restaurant next to it was about 45 min so we decided to check this place out. Florida resident cover was only $5 and it covers all the games unlimited! They do not sell food, but will order food from the Chinese restaurant next door for you to eat it there. We played on the arcade and sat at the bar were we had a few ciders and played smash bros and Mario cart. Definitely such a great spot to chill. We decided to come back after dinner and play some more.

Do not recommend this establishment. Place is not clean, I strongly recommend the health department to check this place out and investigate on cleanliness. Also front desk clerk was rude when we walked through.

Player1 is such a cool spot! We have a friend visiting the area so we decided to take him to our local barcade! This place is such a cool throwback to how us 90s babies grew up. They do have some snack options such as fries, pretzels, and chicken tenders so if you. Red to soak up some drinks they've got you covered! Their drinks and food are pretty affordable so you're in good hands with this crew! We've got plenty of different themed bars in the Orlando area but Player1 is definitely a special one for me. Try the Mango Cart & the Clever Girl!

Horrible! The games the kids wanted to play were either at the bar or needed updates! Very dissatisfied

I am a big Mario head and the bar tender Michael, came up with beers associated with characters and although I am a recovering alcoholic I loved the idea! So creative and fun! Although I do wish there were more mocktail options, I did have so much fun with such good service with an amazing and fun and inclusive atmosphere!

If you're looking for a unique bar experience, this one fits the bill! Player 1 is a video game bar and arcade that does both things really well: the beer selection boasts over 100 draft, bottle, and can selections plus the arcade has various video games, table games, and interactive party games on screens. On entry, they had a cover fee; we felt on a Wednesday night $8/person seemed high but had a great time here so it mattered less once inside. Each person also got a raffle ticket, which was for a drawing at the end of the evening. The night we were here was also a nerdy bazaar with various local crafters selling their wares. It was a fun addition and made the place really lively. The bar is very colorful; I loved the video game history bar top. There was plenty of room to walk around and mingle or hang out with people playing games without being too cramped. One suggestion: have cup holders at the video games as there's no where to put drinks while playing. The highlight for most of us was the interactive game playing on the screen above the bar, as it went it seemed almost the entire bar was playing and it was great to laugh together. The bartender was also really friendly and attentive all evening - the staff has anime cosplay themed nights (that one was Dragonball Z). Prices were reasonable, especially with the selection. Restrooms were also kept clean. I'd definitely come here again! (This is an Untappd Verified Venue and as of this writing, they have a local badge for the location.)

I have some friends visiting in a few months so I wanted to check out this video game bar to see if it would be a fun option to bring them. We were greeted and told that after 8PM it's exclusively 21+ which was idea for me personally. It was a $5 entrance and all the games are free to play. Walking around I realized there are a lot of retro and older games. Some were functioning properly and not so much. The bar was fairly empty at the time so it was easy to order a drink. They have a QR code to scan to see what the selection of drinks are. They did have some snacks on the menu but I didn't try anything. A lot of the games purposely have a place where you can put your glass down, which was great. When I went back to the front to understand more about how to "rent"/ checkout a game, I noticed there also included a list of the arcade games that are working- so they are aware of which do not work great. Since they gave us a wrist band, we were able to step out for a moment to catch some air before going back inside. Overall it was really fun. If you are a beer drinker and enjoy gaming or any kind, fun place to check out. Honestly, biggest disappointment was being excited to see guitar hero only to see it wasn't working

This is a great place to go to chill out, get a drink (if that's your thing) and play some games. I love how they have both game consoles and classic arcade machines. They also have trivia nights and bingo nights every week with assorted themes!

I've been meaning to go to this video game bar for a while now but I haven't had a chance to until now! It was pretty fun and the cover wasn't a lot especially considering all games are included. We also went on an off night which was pretty nice with crowding as it was not very full. They have a decent amount of arcades but a decent amount were not working unfortunately. There also wasn't any themed cocktails like I was hoping nor any neat food/apps options, just a couple of basic options found anywhere else. I think it was really cool we played group Jackbox for the winner to win a shot. I may be inclined to go back again in the future but feel like there can be a couple of adjustments to make it much better.

Since they deleted my review off google.... I'll post it on here too!!!! Someone attempted to stab me at this bar on Halloween, while it was crowded. I was in line to buy a drink. I turned and the perpetrator immediately took off. I informed the bar staff of what happened and they immediately brushed it off and asked me only if I was bleeding. I made a police report of the incident. The staff have no heart here, no empathy and definitely no regard of the SAFETY of their guest.

This place has gone downhill for me, sorry to say. At least it's a $5 cover charge, but I'd sooner pay more if they actually had their stuff working. It was hot in the building, as if their a/c needed fixing. A lot of the arcade games were out of order, or secretly were malfunctioning because once you started playing you realized the joystick or trigger button were old and not picking up on what you're doing. The bar is nice, and some of the games were fun. But I just remember coming here and it being packed and lively, with all the games working. I would've given this place 2 stars but my husband thinks that's too harsh, so 3 it is. Like I said, they should definitely keep the cover to $5 until they get it together.

Video games in a bar! What more do you want!?! I like that the games are mostly old school, interesting arcade games. Wish they had a working pinball machine but there's still plenty to do. Big shout out for having non-alcoholic options that aren't just soda.

I've come here a few times with friends while they were in town, and it does the job. It is definitely a dive bar. Unfortunately lots of machines are not working each time I have come. I'd love to see mixed drinks and food in house as well.

We still love this amazing adult themed bar and arcade. It a pretty usual date night spot for us and we love that they've been able to add in COVID measures to help keep things safe and clean. When you arrive it's a $5 cover to get in with ID as they are 21+ after 6 p.m. It's free play on any of the machines from that point, or you can open a tab and that will give you access to 'borrow' a more modern console and game to play on. They have a ton of beers (draft and can / bottle) as well as wines. You can always get alcohol free drinks too! They have a ton of classic games like Street Fighter and Pac-Man, as well as, a few more modern games for Xbox and PlayStation. For COVID safety they hand out a towel to all persons that enter, and there are spray sanitizers everywhere. They ask everyone to wipe down each system / game when they are done. The staff is also wiping down the counters regularly too. They serve limited food here, but you can order Chinese food from the place right next door directly through your bartender and they'll bring the food over for you! Overall: A+ A great way to spend an evening playing old school arcade games with a drink in hand!

I was super excited after seeing this on yelp--we were in town for the week but had nothing planned for our first night. The BF and I decided to go cause we often went to Arcade Bars (like Dave N Busters) over on the West Coast. Unfortunately, it was nothing like we were used to. Don't get me wrong, they were pretty cool-- I enjoyed the retro aesthetics but I think I might be too young to enjoy the games they had. It was definitely filled with old school nostalgia--think mortal kombat, tekken, etc. I did see the more modern consoles like the Nintendo Switch by the bar and the xbox and playstation consoles in their little respective section, but they were being used the whole time we were there. I didn't see a time limit constraint sign anywhere so it looks like we could've waited for them all night if we stayed. It was nice that the $8 out of state cover charge ($5 for Florida residents) covered all the costs of the game. I wish they served hard liquor, I don't even remember seeing wines on the list. I felt a little betrayed with a "bar" not serving anything beyond beer! Overall, I did like their vibes and everyone was nice, I just don't think they're for me.

Nicole B.

Yelp
My friends and I came here to have a nice time together in Orlando, but majority of the games were not working, the "cocktails" as listed on their WEBSITE were non existent , there was only beer. It is very run down and needs upgrading... The lady in the front was very kind and helpful, but the people working in the bar area when it was time to close were very rude yelling at us to "get the f**k out" while we were walking towards the door. This place was advertised as a cool retro arcade bar with cocktails and we got none of that, the best thing here was their vending machine that has funny mystery items. Other than that, won't be returning here.

Yelp
I hate that I even have to write this review because I've always considered this one of my favorite bars. But the service and overall business has gone downhill in the recent years. A third of the games were broken and the staff at the front said it's expensive to have the games fixed (ie guitar hero) which has been broken for as long as I can remember. If you're not going to put effort and pride into your business then the people are going to notice and stop showing up. I would hate for that to happen. Fix your games! Dragon lair and guitar hero have been broken for as long as I can remember and there are several others. DO BETTER!! Invest more money in your business!!

We went for a random Sunday evening hang out. It was fun! They charge a $5 cover but all games are included. The bar has a good amount of drinks. Personally had the clever girl and it was great. We were even able to order Chinese food from next door and eat it will playing games. I did notice some games were out of service but there was still a good amount of options that were working. I love that they have different gaming consoles and you can play your favorite games. We personally used the arcade, the Wii and PS5. Super chill vibes! We will definitely visit again.

I am not a gamer nor really into video games but this place was super cool! There's lots of games like pac man and stuff that are free after you pay the $5 entrance fee which I don't think is bad at all. They have a great selection of beer and they have some wine and seltzers as well. They have seating everywhere and it makes for a fun date night.

This was a great find. A friend and I were in the area and had a wait before dinner and stumbled upon Player 1 video game bar. It's a great spot to kick back and spend awhile playing some time drinking beer (if you choose) and playing some old-school arcade games. There is an admission to enter which for FL residents is $5 and you're given a wrist band. The bar is pretty big and has a pretty massive selection which you can look through via a QR code. I had a few bromosa IPA's while I buzzed around between NBA Jam and Marvel vs Capcom. But they have all types of games here. I do wish they had more pinball options; I think they only have one pinball machine there. Who doesn't love playing some old-school pinball, right? But the games they do have are in great condition and there are spots to hold your drink, so you don't ruin them with your beer. You're able to rent other gaming systems and they'll tell you all about those. I knew we were only there for a specific time, so I didn't ask too many questions on that, but I do like the idea. Overall, I really enjoyed it here. It's a great place to hang with friends. A wonderful rainy-day activity. Just a cool spot to be.

Staff was really friendly and accommodating. Game options had plenty of variety from arcade to console games like wii, switch , Xbox and PS. Good selection and price for draft beer. Low lighting and plenty of seating for a gaming atmosphere. Definitely will return.

Used to love this place, but now half the games are gone or broken, they were outta of every cider , and the staff was rude , unfriendly and completely useless. They didn't offer any suggestions, acted standoffish and was on their phone the entire time we were there. This place used to be so much fun , but now it's just a slowly dying business. What a shame. Wow the response keeps getting better. "Drunks like me".......wow. insult your guests, seems like you're a little defensive about your awful establishment . Guitar hero broken , terminator machine doesn't work properly, half the shooters don't work right and aren't calibrated, I could keep going on and on about which machines were broken if you like. The staff was rude like management apparently...and you had no cider or mixed cocktails as your bartender said they were all discontinued. As for suggestions on certain types of beer , your bartender was rude and no help what so ever . As well as when we went to pay our tab she let us sit for 15 min while she was on her phone.And now instead of taking criticism you lash out because you think someone pissed in my cornflakes , hahaha so silly. Fix your problems , it's probably why it was a ghost town there last night. Instead of hoping for a fix and returning later I'll take my business to Dave and busters or arcade monsters. The owner apparently can't take criticism and likes to insult and attack people over the internet because they feel safe. This place and its ownership is a joke ...go anywhere else. I'll be sure to tell every client and person I meet to avoid this place like the plague.

Used to be one of my favorite spots back in the day. They've changed a lot. Guest service and their staff are attentive, but some of the machines need maintenance work. Many arcades don't work and some display but with green and blue hues from burn in. It also seemed better when the N64s, SNES, Wii Us, etc had their own booths. I hope they can fix this in the future.

Went on a Friday night with a party. As soon as we walked into the front door, I felt not welcome. I would have left but the party wanted to stay. The front lady was very rude to everyone in the party. Once we got in, we went to the bar and at first service was fine, but after I got my drink, my glass was cracked. I brought it back to the bar to get a new glass and the bartender looked offended, and checked the glass up to the light, before changing it out. Ok, games will be fine right? Nope. Probably 25% if the games were broken. The rest were full of people not moving and the selection was mediocre at best. An arcade with random mediocre games and most games being on consoles you must go get the game for? No thanks. Go get game pass and a 6 pack and stay home. Gl gg.

Super cute arcade bar we decided to wait here until our dinner reservation was called. They had a cover of only 5 dollars and you go in and play all the games and also order drinks at the bar. They had a variety of craft beers and sake drinks to choose from. Such a great vibe

Love this bar so much!! When ever my friends and I are at a loss for what to do, this place is always the first on our list! It's open late and it very affordable! I love the drink selection as well! My boyfriend has his favorite go to, and I have a never ending list of new exciting things to try! Highly highly recommend! Also their vending machines are hilarious!!!!

Great COVID Precautions are in effect as of April 2021. I will say I almost did not go in. I went to the door and there was a strong smell coming from inside. I wondered if there was a recent sewage problem inside but thought maybe it was just "my nose" as others did not seem to be bothered. Cover charge was $5 and $3 since they charge men and women different prices. There is a great selection of games and about 90% were in working order. Might have actually been 100% in working order as we were not able to try every game. Alcohol situation here seems to be only beer but they have gotten creative and have a few cocktail type drinks that have beer as the base alcohol. I noticed signs the they have "snacks" now but did not try any since I felt like they were something I could get at a convenience store. Staff was super friendly and helpful and great music at a volume you could enjoy and still be able to hold a conversation. I will have to go back and visit again soon.

As my friend and I walked we were very impressed by the colorful interior and video game characters on the wall. KUDOS for Hanari at the front for explaining the layout of the video game bar. She was very friendly and informative. While we walked inside we were immersed in arcade games which brought us back to our childhood. They had nostalgic games like Teenage Mutant Turtles, X-Men, NBJ Jam, and Indiana Jones just to name a few. Hanari even offered me a military discount with proper ID. The cover costs $5 to play all the arcade and video games. To find out more of what they have you must check Player One out! Also on the contacless menu contained the 50 craft beers and alcohol they have including snack foods made to order. I decided to get the mozzarella sticks and Cajun fries. They were seasoned with Tony's Cajun Seasoning which had a kick to it! I appreciated Jen who took care of me at the bar. Both Jen and Hanari both dressed in cosplay outfits. The staff usually dresses in cosplay every Friday and Saturday which is pretty cool...I recommend all to check out Player One to experience an out of this world Arcade and Video Game Memories!

Was looking for something different to try on a night out. It was a Friday evening, but still a little early. When we arrived they did temp checks and paid the cover for myself to enter. After we paid and walked in I noticed a pretty strong stale smell. You do get used to it after a little while, but it was slightly unpleasant. We ordered 2 beer and sat at the bar for a little while. When we ordered our 2nd beer we decided to go and play some of the games. Most of the games were working and we were able to play for about an hour. It was a good time with some fun old school games (they have gaming systems too for new school options). Fun times for a different type of night out!

Nice little place. Not very loud or busy when I was there. A great place to bring a party and play some games.

Outstanding Barcade. Probably the best "hole-in-the-wall" barcade in the state of Florida. There is so much to do, and the craft beers are fantastic. I've been dozens of times and never had an issue with anything. Arcade machines go down from time to time for maintenance, but that should be expected, and anyone who has an issue with it should stay home and play their PlayStation. It's right in the middle of Disneyworld and Universal(across the street from Disney property)off of I-4 and it's a must-stop for us after we visit the parks. 6/5 stars. This place is awesome.

You've been to Disney's magical this and that. You've had fun but are kinda wore out. Drop into this arcade and bar and relax with some video games from the 80s, 90s, and modern console games. And my favorite? Collect those children spoiled from playing games on their own phones and get them together to play some group games like X-men or Terminator. Sure they'll complain the graphics aren't ray-traced but tell them that's because lo-fi sprites are better. And that if they mouth off to much then they'll have to play Scrabble when they get home.

This place could be great. Improve the game maintenance. Staff is minimal and aren't very helpful. We had fun, but it could have been a blast. The next time in Orlando we found another place with much better arcade games, drink, food and staff.

I went here on a Saturday at 2 PM. The place has arcades, as you would expect. It's a bit empty until evening. They have about 20 or so arcade machines along with consoles that you pay separately for per hour. They claim to have hundreds of games, but keep in mind that the number of machines is still limited. Staff is friendly, but they are beholden to some strange and off-putting policies, like not letting the guests in to see what games are available unless you pay the full price.

It's $5 per person entry fee and the drinks are a separate charge but it's so much fun and lot of old classic games to play even at the bar you can play video games too! And drink prices wasn't that bad
