  I recommend going on a Monday or during the day when its less busy so get a chance to play every game and you can even bring kids during the day and early evenings!

  Witnessed people standing in front of several video games looking dumbfounded as to what they were doing wrong as the games wouldn't work. Apparently the aforementioned games needed to be manually opened and reset once they were out of credits. I had to track down a staff member to do this on several occasions. When it came time to give Donkey Kong a try I once again went on the hunt for a staff member and was instructed to wait a minute. I waited several minutes while said staff member ignorantly undertook several other ventures leaving me standing with access to unlimited nothing. When I was finally able to address the staff member again, now acting as the bartender, he told me to JUST RELAX!! I relaxed by choosing not to deal with this stupidity any longer and my family and I subsequently left the establishment never to return. Way to go Pin Up Arcade Bar!!

  Owner is super friendly and very knowledgeable on the arcade classics and new machines. I believe he runs leagues as well!

  This is a great idea. Pay $5 and get unlimited play. They have a bar and a really good selection of craft beers. Lots of old school games and some pinball machine, including new ones like Game of The, Etc. They also have a coat check. Enjoy your time!

  Oh my god, what a blast. Such an awesome setup and they are constantly rotating in games. Mix in the bar and food orders from FratBurger upstairs, and this makes a great way to kill an evening with your friends.

  This place is just awesome. The way an Arcade should: retro classics, diverse and modern pinball options. $5 for unlimited play. Drinks are affordable and a good selection of local and domestic brews. Went during the week and there were no lines for games, but I hear it gets busy on the weekends. Go with a friend and play some of the bar games like shuffle board and foosball, go head to head in Mortal Combat annihilation, street fighter or racing. Only downside is that some racing pods and a few other machines were out of order when I was there.
