Though they have…read morecertainly moved on into becoming the amusement arcades we'd recognise today with driving and shooting games, there is still a part of the history present in the arcades around the area. Fun Harbour is home to some of the more bewildering games along the sea front, including the one where you side swipe at some ducklings, or the one where you attempt to guide a small car around some other oncoming small cars on a conveyor belt. It is also the place where you will find the largest Chupa Chup lolly known to humankind. In line with nearly all arcades, you can expect to pay £1 or more for a drive around a virtual track. In the summer season these arcades can be buzzing with kids spending their pocket money and competitive adults hoping for glory on one of the many racing games. But as with much of Barry Island if you venture in the winter months then you may be only person there. More games for you!

At last! A bar for the nerdy!…read more I've been here twice so far, the first was more of a tentative visit (I heard rumours of a place with old school arcade machines and needed to see this for myself) on a beer fuelled Saturday night, it was a full house so I didn't really get to play on any of the machines, but did nod in approval that they did indeed have them. The second time however, I did get to play the machines. Yes, it did mean that I ignored my friends, but the important thing was that I had fun and got to drink beer (Sierra Nevada beer on tap, bravo) whilst playing double dragon and Woo'ing like some kind of man-child. I think it is about time that pubs, bars and clubs around here stopped treating retro cabinets as taboo and applaud Kongs for breaking it, but I will have to deduct points for using emulators (booo). On top of cabinets, Kongs also has a foosball table and ping pong (which you can hire out for about 30 mins). I didn't have food on any of my visits, but the menu boasts a healthy amount of pizza and bar snack food. Basically everything you need for trying to get a high score on Donkey Kong. Feedback? More retro cabinets, less emulators. Would love to see Ms Pacman, Galaga,TMNT Turtles in Time, centipede, punch out, Marvel vs Capcom and metal slug... To name a few. Summary; Kongs is basically the Big Chill with Arcade Cabinets.

Kongs is a new super cool bar on the recently named 'Beermuda Triangle' of King Street…read more While Kongs is similar in way to its neighbours, The Beer Emporium and Small Bar, in that it sells an array of craft and imported beers, the look, feel and playfulness of it really sets it apart. As you walk in, one of the first things you'll notice is an arcade machine table that you can play donkey kong and other classic video games on. And that sets the tone throughout he rest of the bar. They have table tennis, foosball and around 8 other brand new arcade games at the other end of the bar. Now, if someone were to tell me about it, I probably wouldn't be that impressed, because to be honest I'm not a gamer and it all sounds a bit gimmicky - but it really works! The games aren't 'in your face' and there isn't lots of flashing lights everywhere. It's a really nice, stylish bar that has a kind of student union hang out feel to it, but without the students (I've not seen any in the couple of time I've been there, anyway) As I mentioned before, they sell a good amount of craft and imported (mainly European) beers and have a nice looking food menu. I've not eaten here yet but I definitely will be back to sample some of the food soon. I love how the top end of King Street has turned into a beer drinkers heaven, without becoming rowdy and/or busy. And I think it's new name of the 'Beermuda Triangle' sums it up perfectly and it may just be my new favourite part of town. Kongs, with its playful interior is the perfect new addition - kind of like Small Bars younger, naughtier brother.

Though they have…read morecertainly moved on into becoming the amusement arcades we'd recognise today with driving and shooting games, there is still a part of the history present in the arcades around the area. Carousel Amusements is home to more of the 'kiddie' games than some other amusement arcades on the seafront. It also offers you to convert the points you score on certain games to equate to prizes behind a big counter. You will most likely end up spending much more on playing the games to get the prize you wouldn't have bought anyway than the prize itself costs. But who needs logic in an amusement arcade. In line with nearly all arcades, you can expect to pay £1 or more for a drive around a virtual track.

This is a perfect spot for a date night, or just a casual outing with friends. I regret I didn't spend much time here. I was able to check it out though, while having lunch. I had a burger and fries (chips), which were pretty good. The server was attentive and suggested I check out the board game wall, which had a huge selection of well known games and the more obscure. Apparently, they're a chain of board game lounges in the area. I could see this being popular in Orlando!
