I've been to the Garage Arcade a few times and have always had a great time. Staff is friendly, the space is nice and we all enjoyed the food truck located directly outside. Love playing the arcade games too! Really enjoy the indoor and outdoor space.

Review: 4/5 This garage bar arcade-themed spot is a fantastic place for a fun night out! The atmosphere is unique, with a cool mix of retro arcade games and garage-style decor that really sets the vibe. The game selection is impressive, and it’s easy to lose track of time while enjoying classics like pinball and Pac-Man. The drinks are well-made and reasonably priced, adding to the experience without breaking the bank. The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends, making it tough to snag a game right away. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out with friends, relive some nostalgia, and enjoy good drinks and games. Highly recommend!

Worst drink selection I’ve ever seen. Not a single beer I drink. So, I asked for a mixed drink recommendation and was carded for the 3rd time in under 5 times. Then, she didn't even recommend anything! Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first awful experience I’ve actually never had a good one! Emo night last year I waited over 45+ mins to get a drink they just kept skipping to whomever in the queue. They were not paying any attention and taking forever… don’t go on a theme night… at least they have Frogger! BAR TENDERS ALWAYS HAVE THE WORST ATTITUDE! I'll pop in on a weekday to avoid a crowd but I can't even get my friends to come here after Emo night 🙁 I JUST WANT TO PLAY FROGGER MAN!

Really neat place to meet up with some friends! We showed up around 6:30 to get a drink (that Green Gobbler will sneak up on ya!) , play some arcade games indoors, and play some rounds of corn hole in the outdoor seating area. It's a pretty cool and open vibe. Around 8:15 or so a band had begun setting up to start playing by 9 - had a nice little crowd going by then. Overall all fun place and would love to go again!

I'm not from that area and when we found this place for a live band or was great. There's indoor and a large outdoor area, plenty of space. The decorations are key and I LOVE the old school arcade games. We're taking centipede, Galactica it was nostalgic for sure. Definitely stop in of you get the chance.

Accidentally, I found this place! Loved the vibe, and drinks were reasonably priced. I felt like I traveled back in time, with the decor and the FREE classic arcade games.

It's cool but everyone brings a friend, nobody wants to say hi and meet new people. Games are very fun, just bring a friend I guess. Drinks are great, try an orange VCR

Lots of fun.. their website said they had tacos but they didn't.. so we walked to a close by restaurant, ate, and went back. The free arcade games are awesome. They also had corn hole/bags to play.. one of our bags broke and they didn't have any replacements. Drinks were reasonably priced. Bar tenders were nice. Plenty of room to dance around. I would definitely go back.
