Everyone in secondary school who was cool used to come here on the weekends for a while, it was the cool thing to do! then it got boring and we stopped going, they introduced an entrance fee, we realised the food wasn't nice and the bowling went up a bit in price. this wasn't our dream hang out spot anymore. its still a grand spot for a spot of bowling and i have gone back quite a few times but i have only ever indulged in the bowling. I have had a great time to be honest. Bowling isn't something i do regularly so i always have a good time when i go

Happened to be in the neighbourhood, bored out of my tree. Not familiar with the area, we figured…read morewe couldn't go wrong with a bit of bowling. Came here and did a little mini circuit of the entire place. Started off, reliving our childhood memories playing Tekken III, they must be the only arcade in Dublin that stocks this classic! Swiftly moved onto the pool where I got my ass handed to me, guess I can't really blame them for that one. Soon after we moved onto the main event, the creme de la creme, the bowling. Overall the place was suitably busy, had a nice crowd and also incredibly clean, something thats hard to come by in bowling alleys these days. We even topped off the day with some food which tasted damn good. If you're hosting a kids birthday party in the area, this is surely the only place to do it, kids are guaranteed to have a blast. For the adults, what better way let off some steam waiting for the kids then to kill a few zombies or lash a few bowling balls?

Century City arcade is situated beside the Cineworld on Parnell street, in behind the Woolshed…read more It's a perfectly functional arcade. A few racing games, a few shooters. They have Time Crisis 4, which gave me a big pang of nostalgia. Anyway, this is all beside the point. I include these details for those of you who might go to arcades for anything other than Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). I swear I've spent so much money on this machine, I'm basically keeping Century City afloat. It's not like it's a particularly good DDR machine, the songs are all J-pop, the price is €1 a pop, but it's very addictive. Very addictive. Thanks to those obsessive Japanese (even more so than yours truly), the game has 5 levels of difficulty, ranging from "bloody hard" to "break down in tears". I have yet to complete a mission on the 2nd easiest level of difficulty, something I find very emasculating. Not content with making you move your feet with the timing and precision of MJ himself, they also have a great laugh randomly changing the tempo, gah!

I was surprised at how many people were playing the games, this being at 11am and the year 2013, especially when you can download most of the games on your phone for 89 cent. A nice place, somewhat a look into the past when entertainment was simpler.

That being said I've been dragged in here a few times and sometimes it can be fun to get rid of your loose change or win an ugly stuff animal that isn't worth the 4 Euros you spent trying to get it. Be warned though that these games are rigged!! Watch out for the people eying your machine too. They're waiting for you to put in all your money so they can swoop in afterwards and collect your reward. Another word of caution for the Dr. Quirkey's newbie: there are some rough people that hang out here. Because it's located on the top of O'Connell Street, you get a lot of bratty little kids that are bored and looking to rattle some cages. This place is good for a cheap thrill or if you need to kill time before you catch your bus out of town.

There's no drinks here, so you don't have the drunken debauchery that sometimes accompany casinos. There is a decent variety of games (blackjack, roulette, video poker) but they're all automated (no dealers, no chips, no cashier) and honestly it gets boring pretty quickly. Dr. Quirkey's is good for an hour or so of (relatively) inexpensive entertainment, but not much beyond that.
