    City skyline view from the boardwalk behind Cidercade
    Andy D.

    Cidercade is definitely a great spot to go to hangout with friends, date night, or just vibing to great games and cider! I love how you only pay an entry fee of approximately $20 and you get to experience unlimited games for the duration of your visit. Cidercade offers a variety of games ranging from all the classics to modern day arcade games. Always a great time here. The ciders offered are amazing. I personally love the Peach Paradise. The pizza here is also phenomenal (I highly recommend the Meat Lovers). Service here is always friendly and the vibes definitely keep me coming back. The back patio allows you to see the city skyline views of downtown. You can also walk to the boardwalk within a short walk behind Cider Cade, allowing you a better view of the city skyline. Definitely recommend!

    What a terrific concept, arcade and cider house put into one. Unlimited game play and a right off of the river. Perfect for honestly anyone, kids, families, friends, or couples wanting a day or night out. You can order food and the pizzas are great, plenty of seating both inside and outside to choose from. Tons of games from our childhood plus a bunch of newer arcade games which makes this place standout. We particularly loved the StepManiaX (newer version of DDR including the center button), nidhogg (hilariously competitive and super easy to understand), PBR Perfect Pour (I can't believe this was made into a game but it's enjoyable), bubble bobble, and super Mario kart racing, in addition to all the cool Japanese arcade games. We wish they had this back in Chicago!

    We're visiting Austin from the mountains of Western North Carolina and stopped by Cidercade--and had an absolute blast. Tons of games to choose from, all included with the price of admission, which made it easy to relax and play without keeping track of anything. The views of the river and city are gorgeous and really add to the experience. There were lots of fun cider options and a solid food menu (we didn't eat this time, but everything looked great). As you might expect, there were kiddos running around pretty freely--fun energy, but if you're a bit of a germaphobe like me, I'd recommend bringing plenty of hand sanitizer. Overall, such a fun spot, and we really wish we had something like this back home

    A nice place for many different personalities to go to easy parking lot spacious. Outside balcony patio is available to sit and talk on and I guess if you need to smoke a cigarettes or vape inside is decorated and also playing games you do sometimes have to wait for others to get off before you can get on but a lot of different choices. Most of the time you'll stay busy playing something . bathrooms are available. drinks in the bar is available.. everything gets shut down at 12. All the games will be turned off automatically so just try to find the exit at that time. Pay for your tickets upfront and then go play.

    Super fun rhythm game

    Best place to forget all your worries and escape to a virtual world The pizza burrito hits hard, The bottomless soda is great, it's fun here! Love the festive decor and the kind staff, always a pleasure to spend an evening/day here.

    Visited with some out-of-town guests and everyone had a blast! From adults to small children, you will be occupied with food, drinks, and arcades! For an entry fee of $12, all games were included! They had a great selection of racing, fighting, guitar hero, pinball, hooping, so much more! The drink options were plentiful and even the food options were tasty. A fun atmosphere all-around for all ages. Sit outside at their table with swings as seats while enjoying the view of Austin downtown! We will be back again! Enjoy!

    One flat cost to play all the arcade games you want?? Yes please!! This place is huge with a ton of games of every variety to choose from most of the games were working and there was so so many games! Food available is pizza and they have soda all you can drink for one price. Although I constantly had to find my son's soda cup he left at different games luckily it wasn't very busy so there wasn't cup confusion.

    Cidercade has hundreds of games and unlimited play for 12 bucks, and it's awesome. Sometimes, it's nice to get away from the ticket winning games and enjoy some good ol' classic arcade fun. My son had a blast and it was great experiencing all of the OG games with him. I'm not much of a cider connoisseur, but they did have some fun and tasty drinks. Just a head's up, they switch from all ages to 21+ at 8pm. Cidercade is definitely worth checking out with friends or your kids, or both!

    Love the pizza & ciders. Our fav place to visit when coming to Austin. Never been disappointed.

    Cidercade proved the perfect escape when Austin's weather eventually turns (because we all know it will). What seems like a simple arcade transforms into a nostalgic wonderland where adults can relive childhood while sipping craft ciders. Game Glory - From vintage pinball to modern multiplayer madness Unexpected Pizza Win - Far better than any arcade food deserves to be Line Psychology - That "should we stay?" moment vanishes faster than your tokens

    $12 per person for unlimited play, such a great deal! We only had about an hour before heading to the airport, but it was still totally worth it. The place was busy, yet there were plenty of games to play. The cider and house-made hummus were yummy. It was cold when we went, but the outdoor area has river views and swing seats.

    Kids love it! 4 and under play free until 9pm... the amount of entertainment you get for the price is really great. The staff are friendly and the pizza is amazing! Definitely recommend it

    So, Ive been to two other Cidercade locations and I prefer the other two locations over this one. Parking is a situation, but that is generally an Austin thing. The location to order drinks is smack dab in the middle of the arcade vs up front like the other two locations I've been too. With the sounds of the games, customers, etc it was really hard to talk with the bartenders to get our drink orders in. It felt like we all had to yell to be heard. Plus, they had the water cups just sitting out. Playing games was fun but there was a number of unmonitored kids that would jump in front of you in line, long gone are the quarter on the counter wait your turn rules I guess, that even my kid got flustered with how many times he got cut off after waiting his turn. I would think that somewhere pushing drinks and with a no kids after a certain time rule would enforce the monitor your kids but I guess not. We'll probably stick to the locations closer to home next time.

    When the parking lot is full, where else can we park?

    There is some street parking nearby, but we highly encourage ride sharing when possible.

    Do you have a mechanical bull for kids to ride?

    No, there is not.

    Does the Austin location take Apple Pay?

    Yes they do!

    What are the peak times? Slowest times?

    Cidercade is busiest on the weekends from open to close, and slowest weekdays during the day.

    Do they have tvs?

    I don't think so...at least I don't remember seeing any

    Is this place toddler friendly?

    Sure is! There are some simpler, old school games like skee-ball that might be a fun activity they could participate in. Earlier is better, both to avoid crowds and because it switches to only 21+ after 8pm.

    We're constantly rotating our games on the floor, so if you have questions about a specific game, please reach out to Cidercade directly at (737) 370-9461.

    Is there an 80s night if so when and is there a cover!?

    No 80s nights, but that's a decent idea! Feel free to wear your best 80s attire any time.

    Do they have Mario Cart here?

    I didn't see it. But that doesn't mean they don't have it.

    Is $10/unlimited games a special or is this all the time?

    Entry is $10 per person, and that gets you unlimited play on all the games inside. No specials or gimmicks! That's just what Cidercade does best!

    As there TVs anywhere to watch football games?

    Unfortunately there are no TVs to watch anything.

    Are they dog friendly?

    No they are not

    Is it $10 for kids too? What ages?

    Yes $10 per person - kids and adults. Kids two and older pay.

    Do they have other types of beer, besides cider?

    They have hard cider, with the occasional wine, hard seltzer, and hard kombucha. Here is a link to the menu: https://www.cidercadeaustin.com/

    Do you have to make reservations?

    No, you can just pay admission and go in.

We were treated nicely, but we definitely could have gotten in right away. By the time we walked in, the place was probably at 60% capacity. It was standing room only at the bar, but not overcrowded by any means. There is a dress code, but it's not entirely clear what it is. Some guy dressed to the 9s got turned away for not having sleeves whereas I got in with sneakers and a t-shirt. They ask for your cellphones upon entering and give you a key in exchange, but there doesn't seem to be any security to enforce it if you don't want to give them up. I have no problem with their policy, but I bet a lot of customers do. Interestingly, their little social experiment seemed to have a positive effect, where we ended up talking to strangers and vice versa. The Powder Room may be making America social again.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.
