Reset Arcade Bar

Such a fun spot to stop in and play some games! Bartender Lana makes it totally worth the stop; she's always super friendly, greets everyone as they come in and seems to have a handle on everything! Highly recommend stopping in to grab a drink from her! There are food trucks in the parking lot for a quick bite before or after.

Mechelle and Ryan are amazing, great service 10/10 amazing love them will be back always. Love this bars atmosphere, everyone is so friendly and Michelle made me the best drink ever :-)

visited reset bar and the bartender Reuben set the tone right away. He greeted us with energy and paid attention to every detail. He kept the drinks consistent and moved fast. He checked in often and made sure everyone felt welcome. Reuben gets great service without waiting. The atmosphere feels better because of him. I recommend stopping by if you want a place where the staff treats you well.

Stopped here because of the great reviews. That immediately changed when we walked in and tried to order drinks. They didn’t have the ingredients for either of our drinks. Went with an alternative drink and it wasn’t worth the $15 paid. The games were okay, felt like they were a little pricey though. Overall we stayed 10 minutes maybe less. Maybe this place is great on most days but we would never come back here.

Ernesto was absolutely amazing! Friendly, attentive, and made some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re lucky enough to have Ernesto as your bartender, you’re in for a great experience!

Awful experience, bartender acted like he couldn't hear me and stole a dollar from me too. The atmosphere was super unwelcoming and the music got louder as soon as we got inside?? Bartender was buddy buddy was a group of guys and basically ignored my group of friends. Not the place to go if you're in Austin, there's way better bars out there.

Tons of games to play. DJs spinning on the weekends. Plenty of space to hang out with your friends indoors, outdoors and on the rooftop lounge. Custom arcade theme cocktail menu. Also, there are multiple food trucks in the parking lot to choose from. It’s very easy to stay entertained here for hours!

The customer service is amazing!! Love this place and I'll be back for sure!! $2 mimosas on Sunday!!

My first time ever out in Austin Texas and we came across this bar by 6th st and it was a nice vibe! Has lot of pool tables to play and two bars open! I had fun with my partner from the two times we stopped by there before we left Austin! Thank you!

Neto was an amazing bartender! Very helpful and fast, handsome stud, with a great smile. - Trey

First off Ryan was the shit! Ela was the best bartender EVER. Also if you want a chill gaming environment and strong drinks--this is the spot.

Go here, good games, good drinks, Ryan at the bar is super friendly, Mario kart is lit

came for my first time was served by Neto !! will be coming back more often ! Music was also a 10/10

Never seen an area with 4 bars in a parking lot, but my favorite has to be Reset Arcade Bar. The drinks were on point! Great staff and they even let me play the VR game for free. Thanks, Reset

Ryan and Cam are amazing. This place is super chill, great vibes and good music!! Come here if you wanna have a good time in south Austin.

Best vibes ! Best service ! Ryan was the best server and the rest of the staff was amazing . Loki ela Lana were the best bartenders tonight! What a Saturday!

Stopped by this bar and loving it! Ela and Ryan are an awesome team! Great vibes great drinks great music!

Real good service. Ryan is always attentive in making sure are drinks get made. Just met Ryan good environment.

Went here to celebrate my friend's birthday and couldn't be happier with the choice. Reset Arcade has a great atmosphere and even better service. Ella and Ryan were fantastic!!!

Shoutout Ryan & Ela. DJ Hella Yella turning up on a thursday night. Fun vibes, nice peeps. Nice place to pop in for friends bday.

Great drink selection and vibes. Good amount of game options and Ella and Ryan are great! Would highly recommend!

This is behind Parlay House. If you accidentally park behind Lustre Pearl you're in for a long walk! Oops. It's part of an interesting complex of a half dozen bars that I've never visited before, and Reset is apparently brand new. The inside is actually pretty small with a long bar in the center surrounded by arcade machines all lining the back wall, and a few other things for variety like a couple skee ball lanes, basketball hoop machine, a pool table, and even a virtual golf game that looks impressive. There's also a DJ booth in one corner and a couple wet couches in front of a big TV. I don't know if they're only temporarily wet or if this was a weird tactile illusion, but I noped out of there. In the backyard it's AstroTurf and picnic tables with umbrellas and a small bar in a shipping container. There's a ping pong table and giant Connect Four, and a stairway upstairs to the small roof deck with more picnic tables. Overall it's new and slick with lots of LED lights, but it's a very soulless crypto-frat vibe. The arcade games are modern and expensive, the music is incredibly loud, and nothing is warm and inviting, it's all very cold and electronic. And cramped! Since the backyard and rooftop were a ghost town when I was there, everybody was inside making it so crowded there was no passing, and no using some of the games that were blocked by drinkers. Today was a sort of grand opening party even though it's been open for a little bit, it seems. So it may not always be like this, but for 6pm on a Sunday this was a lot.

Just like Recess on dirty 6th- same owners I believe. It's brand new, beautiful, amazing vibe! They have some games streaming on the TVs, great drinks, and awesome arcade games! They have an outside area and an outside upstairs. There are a few outdoor games like corn hole and pingpong. There's misters keeping it cool and nice lights illuminating the area. (Only downside, their Photo Booth outside prints VERY dark photos. You can barely see them.)

A tad disappointed in our experience here. It's super close to where we live so we walked there on a Saturday afternoon. First, three of the beers listed on their menu they didn't have... we actually thought the bartender might've been joking but they weren't. My guy ended up ordering a water (not why we came here). The service was also sub-par -- each time we walked up to the bar, bartenders would be shootin' the you-know-what with each other with zero urgency for the customer. Or they would walk completely past us, making zero eye contact. What in the world? Second, some of the games do not work. Our card was charged repeatedly because the game jammed so we had to unplug the machine. The bartender told us that if the charge on our card was more than anticipated to give them a call and they'd fix it. That's a really nice gesture considering, but I don't think others will want their cards charged for games not played. Lastly, mirroring the other review here -- do not waste your money in the Photo Booth. This felt like a total money grab - really uncool.

A unique spot in Austin with a fantastic selection of modern games and a great drink menu. Perfect for a fun night out with friends!! Highly recommend if you're looking for something different!

Fun arcade games, cool patio space, friendly bartenders. This place has a great atmosphere thank you for the fun! Cheers!

Rueben, Kaylee, Cam, and Ernesto were so amazing! I was welcomed and served so quickly! They are all so friendly! I love the music playing on the playlists playing! Amazing!!! I will be baaaaaaacck!!!

came through had a blast I'd visit again and again ,met a few employees including Ryan and had a great time. happy birthday Ryan and thank you all for the great service.

I love coming here for drinks with friends. The service is always amazing and the music is always a vibe.

Ruben was the best made eveything such an amzing experience!!!!! 10/10 amazing atmosphere and really good margaritas will definitely be coming back!!

Great environment and friendly tentative staff. Plus you can't go wrong with games brings out the competitiveness with your partner or friends !

If you go bring cash! The card readers have a $5 min and charge tax Outside of that tip - very fun. It's a small space so you can really just pop in a play for a bit and leave. It's a great spot to stop at before or after dinner on date night.

Ruben our bartender made the entire experience feel like visiting a friends house. great hospitality and awesome games to play while chatting and drinking!

Very friendly staff, but the drinks were pretty pricey and most of the arcade games were $1, but had a $5 minimum when using Apple Pay. Went on an extremely dead night with barely anyone there besides my friends and myself, but the bartender said it was pretty abnormal for it to be so slow. Didn't get to check out the back (didn't even know they had a back patio area, honestly). A chill night, will have to try to visit again during happy hour or on a weekend to see how it gets when it's busy.

friendly staff, the drinks are super good. outside patio bar is a huge plus! would definitely recommend to everyone wanting to have a fun/casual time!

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!! They charge an automatic 20% gratuity on all tabs plus a credit card service fee. The drinks are way over priced and watered down. We asked them why they are charging a 20% gratuity without notifying or displaying a sign and they directed us to sign that nobody could read from the bar. We had to go behind the bar to actually read the sign and the sign said a 20% charge is added on walked out tabs; however, we didn't walk out and we still got charged. When we asked them to remove the charge they said it was out of their control. We asked to speak to a manager and the bartender said they are all managers. This place is a scam, don't spend your money here it's not worth it. They take advantage of all their customers such a shady business!!!

Went in with my girlies the vibe was amazing, our bartender Reuben was so freaking funny and made us laugh with any encounter we had with him! PLUS the drinks were great!

Cool vibe, needs more games. The thing I absolutely hate, though, is the beer is in cans. I hate canned beer. The last beer I had there also tasted skunky. Only come here if you wanna drink liquor I guess.

I LOVE this bar!! I would absolutely call it a south Austin gem! The staff is all super friendly and they provide 5* service for sure! It's got a great atmosphere and fun games! BEST OF ALL, they ALLOW DOGS! And they have a great little fenced in back patio with AstroTurf, picnic tables, heaters and fans. So glad to have found this one!

There was unfortunately a shooting in the Parlay parking lot right in front of this business on October 29th. My friends and I heard three shots as we were waiting 10 feet in front of the door for our Uber after playing games in the bar and purchasing drinks. We heard the shots and my 3 friends with me ran back inside and they closed the door on my other friend and wouldn't let him in. We were screaming to let him in and wouldn't look at us and ignored us. We were all girls and my friend was a guy, they decided not to let him in when there was an active shooter in the parking lot. This is my honest and truthful review of what happened to me at this establishment.

$9 beers. Dos X and modelo is 9 freakin dollars per beer!!!! They charge 20% per bill for a "service charge" + tax so you are looking at 28% more than listed prices. Not at all worth it and then you pay for games on top of it. Avoid this place.

Love the vibe!! Great music and great games. Staff is super friendly! Would recommend this place to all my friends!!
