These guys went all out with the Halloween decorations-- skeletons, spider webbing, ravens, spiders, and other spooky things galore! We came to celebrate a birthday and the employee gave us a freebie entry for next visit! We came during a special when the pricing was half off: just $5 per person, unlimited games! Talk about awesome. We were given a wristband and enjoyed a decent variety of games: pinball, air hockey, DDR, guitar hero, racing games, classics, even skeeball. Sure, they could've had MORE games-- there's floor space-- but it was a good selection. The four of us definitely had fun. We also sampled the pizza and drinks. My dad was very happy because he has to eat gluten-free and they have a gluten-free pizza crust option. The Hawaiian was super tasty and the crust had a good crunch. The fountain drinks are Maine Root variety and you get an unlimited cup for the duration of your stay for $4. Great deal as long as you get a couple refills while you're there. My brother got one of the ciders (Cinnamon Peach) and it was fruity and sweet! We ate outside in their patio area, which had a lovely view of the river-- honestly, they have an amazing piece of property; I can't imagine it's cheap. Some of the seating were even swing sets and my inner child was quite pleased. We went in the early afternoon on Friday, which was good timing because there weren't too many patrons yet. When we left around 6pm it was starting to get busier. They have a nice large parking lot to accommodate a crowd. We'll definitely be back again sometime! read more

This is easily one of my favorite business concepts. An arcade with tons of games ranging from basketball, to pinball, and back to classics like ms Pac-Man, and all you can game for just $10. That way you can enjoy your time and not have to be an expert game player with a pocketful of cash. I'm addition to this, they make some really awesome and unique ciders and some delicious sounding food. I really wanted to try some of their wings. They looked and smelled great and the flavors were so cool. Definitely a must see spot, and a great concept for a barcarde. read more

This place is so much fun. I paid a cover and had free rein on all the games, of which there are lots of. Their pizza was fantastic, their ciders are sneaky so be careful! Overall it was a really fun experience and I definitely recommend it. Loved the vibe. read more

This place is great for friend groups or going out on a date it's pretty fun! im not a cider guy my self but didn't get in the way of me having a good time theres a variety of different games to choose from and it'll keep you busy for a good hour but by then you will have played every game. The food is okay it's not the best but it's expected from a arcade i would recommend if you've never been before. read more

Took our three kids here to play games on a Sunday. They have everything from old school games to newer games to lots of pinball machines. Everything they serve on tap they make so that was pretty cool. The pizzas coming out of the wood fired pizza looked amazing, but we had just eaten so we didn't try any. I will say it was packed and loud and and you had to wait for certain games, but it was a fun way to spend the day. read more

I love this place and bonus- so do my kids. Double Bonus- it's $5 all daaaaay for unlimited games! Plenty of parking but the parking lot does fill up very quickly. They also have a nice view out their back door read more

Lots of old-school games from the 80s--nice. The dry cider was actually the best I've had anywhere, and the pizza was good, but I wish I had tried the smoked wings--they smelled wonderful. Pretty outdoor seating looking over Town Lake. $10 cover rediculously fair for unlimited gameplay. Only drawbacks are children and no TV's to watch spirts between playing games--and given this is an arcade, those aren't exactly reasonable dings, but it's the difference between coming back regularly versus maybe every other year for me. Employees were super-nice by the way--it actually stood out as I probably interacted with 2 bartenders, a cook, and the doorman and everyone was happy, smiling, and helpful. read more

Cidercade is such a low key awesome time. Great for a group, letting you hang out together around the bar or one of the many tables, but also venture off in smaller groups to play/watch different games. The $10 flat fee free play model was a hit with everyone. And the ciders are refreshing and tasty, with so many flavor profiles and dryness levels to choose from. read more

Stopped in here for a Saturday night date, my plus one and I had been to two other places that were too busy or had long wait times so on a whim we tried here and was really surprised. Never been here before and definitely a pleasant experience. $10 for unlimited game play and tons of them to choose from. There was tons of the old school vintage arcade games and some duplicates which was appreciated so if you wanted to play there was another one in one of the rows. One negative I will say is there were quite a few games that didn't work. Either didn't work at all or the start up process wasn't going. People were mindful of others waiting and there was good rotation on games. Cider options were tasty, pizza smelled good but we didn't try the food. Really a nice pregame spot or date night chill place. Lots of outdoor seating and indoor tables. read more

$12 as of July 2023. Was $10 last time I came here. This is all day free play - so still worth it! Unlimited soda is $4. Alcohol is only cider. Around $6-9 a cup. No beer. I suggest coming here either early due to limited parking. I was always lucky that someone was leaving and able to get their spot. Inside is small so I guess if the parking is full, inside is already crowded where you'd need to wait for games. There's old school games such as pinball, shooter games - time crisis, jurrasic park, terminator, alien and car racing games. They are fun if you patient to wait your turn. I have never ordered food but I see vacant tables with reservations and heard that pizza is good read more

Truly loved our Cidercade experience! We went on a Thursday afternoon and were the only ones in the entire place for a while. It smells of cleaning products which in these times is very, very comforting. They had SO many game choices- we could have stayed all night. We didn't order any food but the Crackberry cider had me at the first sip. Sooo yummy! I love how they have places for you to sit your drink on while you're playing the games, so you don't have to leave it at your table, put it on the floor, or find a place to put it on the game. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place us pretty fun. I don't like cider, but they had one or two that weren't bad. Endless games were a lot of fun. Only downside is parking. They need to figure something out in regards to parking read more

Cidercade is such a great place for date night, friends night out, birthdays, etc.! Any time I have friends visiting from out of town I bring them here. The pizza is great and the ciders are so good! The games are fun to play! It gets packed and hot in there quickly but it's still an amazing time! read more

This place is super fun!!! It's a cover charge at the door then all the games are set to free play inside! What a great idea. No messy coins or buckets or tickets to mess w! The Pizza was very good, crispy thin crust w fresh toppings. I ordered two types of wings... bbq and pineapple sirachaca and I couldn't tell the difference in flavor at all. They tasted like bbq smoke... so fail there. I am not a huge Cider drinker, and by the third cider I was over it. I know this is a Cider place, but having a few more drink options, maybe a wine or a beer or two would be awesome. Pro tip, reserve a table!!!! It doesn't cost $, and all the tables are taken!!! Also bring a jacket, they keep this place FROZEN! Burrrrrrrrrrr read more

What a joke. They want you to pay $12 to pick up a pizza. The guy at the door was a complete asshole and very rude about it. HOME SLICE was very happy to have our business. read more

Old school games for a low, flat rate for the day instead of per game! It was fun and 100% worth the price, but got crowded and noisy on Friday after 5pm. The pizza was super thin and hard, and light on flavor. I recommend eating somewhere else. The bartenders were super nice and explained how the free water and all-you-can drink sodas for $4 worked. read more

Super fun place for a girls night! The ciders are all delicious, I tried three. Unlimited games with entry and a gorgeous view on the patio with cool swinging seats. With celiac, it is also a plus that all their ciders are gluten free. The trailer bathroom is the nicest portable bathroom I've ever seen! read more

Always a fun time coming to Cidercade, the games are great and the food and drink are amazing as well. Love getting to pick this spot as a meet up with friends for a good night out. View of Austin's downtown is beautiful, can't beat it! read more

10 dollar cover but then you can play all the games. It was super fun the pizzas are thin crust and tasty. I do wish it wasn't just cider. I don't like it. So it was water for me. The wings are good but smoked which I wasn't expecting. Great for groups read more

We had our son's bday party here and Duncan was amazing and so helpful! Everyone had a blast!! Thank you!

I....love....this...place Would be great if they had a few more food options but otherwise it's amazing. read more

Love this family fun spot to beat the heat, enjoy some classic arcade games (including skeeball!), and sip on Bishop ciders! Pay $10 to get inside and then play all the games you want at no additional charge. You can grab cider by the glass or flight. There are many options from seltzer, to seasonal flavors you won't find elsewhere, to their mainstay cans. Don't want to enjoy the noise and buzz of arcade games, enjoy the beautiful views of downtown and town lake from their outdoor patio. They also do have pizza available onsite if you are hungry. read more

This place is cool AF! Old and new games that are almost forgotten and great to replay decades later. They got a fantastic pinball selection too. But a new game called Killer Queen is FUC'ing addicting. A lot of preppie here so if your a follower of what Fauci says you may not want to partake. read more

Place had games but not how these reviews made it out to be , . It was basically pinballs and the street figter , 80s games . it was packed to the max also very loud.

Cidercade Austin - The patio - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Employee had a hard on for pouring drinks out 10 minutes before close. Treated very disrespectfully. Would not recommend

Came here for a social event with a group of about 10 adults. I really like all the vintage games and that it's only $10 to get in and play whatever you want. I suggest doing the flight unless you have a specific flavor you love, so you can enjoy them all. It's only $16 for five 5 oz glasses. The pizza was really good and a good price. I tried the buffalo wings and they were delicious but a tad pricey at $16.50 for 10 (I think chicken prices are still up right now). It was a bit warm inside and I was happier after 8p when people cleared out since children are not allowed after 8. I hope during the summer they have better temp control inside. I will definitely be back in the evening! read more

My 3rd , well deserved , 5 star rating on this trip to my favorite little city in Texas ... Austin. The Cidercade , owned by Barlow Cider Co had the insanely great idea of making an old school 80s arcade complete with all their AMAZING ciders and DELICIOUS food. Ample parking , plenty of room to roam around thru the maze of all kinds of LEGENDARY arcade games, we are talking original Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong , and Tron type level games. $10 bucks all you can play... head to the bar and I suggest a flight of cider , try a bit of each as all I sampled, my bartenders Courage and Wade were the absolute best ! was amazing and so impressively good. The white pizza , bacon, spinach, caramelized onion, and feta was F$#k you delious! Of the many ciders I tried the blue berry cobler served with whipped cream was insane. I dont get into cider typically nor do I dig fruity drinks but DAYUM. ( see photos for all I tried and tasted. They text you when your pizza or wings ( what they do ) is done.. I missed the text and in short by the time I asked ...cold pizza , not from your fridge awesome cold but kind of cool you missed the fresh cold. They made me a brand new one piping hot .... such hospitality. Take a step back in time and tell em Big John sent you , this place is so super rad! read more

Great place to visit with friends. Love the downtown views. Games of all types were always in good condition.

This venue has declined quite a bit since I started going there. They don't seem to fix their arcade machines very often, and when they do, it takes a very long time. Because this is a "cover-only" venue, and you don't actually have to pay to play each game, the good games are always crowded. The whole venue is usually very crowded on the weekends. Not worth the $10 price of admission in my experience. They have a good selection of games, the cider is quite good, the food is not bad. Overall, 3 stars. I may go back someday just to see if they ever fixed their broken machines. read more

I enjoyed going to Cidercade. I'd recommend going in a chill Sunday afternoon (where you have a chance to visit some of the better games) or a weekday if you have the chance. It is family-friendly during the day. What I loved most was the view in the back of the Austin skyline (great to chill with some friends who are visiting Austin) and that the cider and the other drink options were actually really awesome! Our favorites were: Lavender Lemonade (Kombucha) Crackberry (cider) Nectar (cider) Great, but would try a different one next time because it was quite sweet: Grapefruit Mint (cider) read more

This place is awesome. Just pay at the door, walk in, and play a many games as you want. Not sure about the food. I didn't try it when I was there. read more

I went here for my birthday back in late October and it was so much fun! Entry only costed $10 for unlimited games, which I found absolutely insane. The outdoor eating area has a gorgeous view of the city and cool swing seats. The Dance Dance Revolution machine was definitely the star of the show, my friends and I spent a good hour on it and I broke a few records! read more

This is a great spot to hit to get a good dose of nostalgia and scratch that old school arcade itch, not to mention try some great cider and hard kombucha. Really cool place with nice staff and good vibes. We bring out of town friends here every time. You'll always get an awesome hour here. My only complaint is sometimes someone will post up at a machine for the whole time you're there and you'll never get a chance to play it. read more

This place is a fun place for family, friends, and date nights. $10 for day admissions for all the games is a very affordable price! They have all the classic arcade games along with basketball, air hockey, and dance dance revolution. They also offer a nice thin-crust Margherita pizza. The strawberry mint seltzer was decent but not my favorite. It's pretty packed on Friday and Saturday evenings, so try to get there early. They will not allow minors after a certain time (8 pm) and will kick minors out. Also, if you buy the packs of alcoholic drinks, you cannot drink them there. You would have to drink them after you leave. read more

So many different games to choose from, such a cool and unique concept! If you're not that good at video games this may not be the place, but they have air hockey and their out door patio is beautiful to hang out. decently priced, line can be super long but it goes fast. definitely a fun place to visit. read more

Definitely one of the best arcades I've ever been to! I like the concept of just paying entry for unlimited play! You don't have to stress over how much money you have left on a game card or pick out cheap toys after spending a bunch of money. Upon entering the place looks small, but they have a huge selection of games and the view outside is beautiful! Some games are a little wonky but majority worked well! It's literally fun for all ages! Their pizza was also flavorful but my only complaint was that the paper they use for dine-in is slippery and my little sister dropped half of her pizza upon picking it up from the counter because it slid of the paper. They also have great fountain drinks. Can't comment on the alcohol because we don't drink, but it looked like they had a good selection. Overall we'd definitely be back! read more

I was impressed by the quantity and quality of the games available. More hard core arcade and less "ticket games". The setup is great. Love the view over the river into downtown. We had the pizza and wings which were delicious. Kids loved it. Wish I had known about this place and tried it out sooner!! read more

Lots of fun retro games, gorgeous views of Lady bird lake, good pizza and great cider. A very fun time! And service was great!

Very cool place on the water. It has all the vintage games and a ton of ciders to pick from. We ordered a pizza and it was very good. We had a blast and enjoyed our time. read more
