    HAPPY GIRL IN CLAW CITY PHOTOBOOTH!
    Rachel H.

    If you love arcades--especially claw-machine-only arcades, I highly recommend checking out Claw City Arcade. I decided to stop in while walking around the mall, and let me tell you... these claw machines are way easier to win from than almost any I've ever played. I ended up winning a small bag (which honestly felt like a victory in itself ), and I had the chance to chat with one of the managers--she is an absolute gem. Funny, kind, constantly restocking machines, and just radiating great energy. You can tell she genuinely cares about the space and the experience, which makes such a difference. The arcade itself is fully LED and neon, super immersive, and honestly just a fun place to exist as an adult. They even have a Photo Booth in the back, which is extra cool because you can plug in your phone and take photos or videos--perfect for memories, goofy clips, or just vibing with friends. I spent about $40 and 30 minutes playing games, winning prizes, and having a genuinely great time. This spot is also perfect if you're at the mall and your kiddo starts getting tired--bring them in here. Even if you don't fully play, kids love the colors, the plushies, and the overall energy. Half the fun is just looking around. Pro claw-machine tip I learned along the way Don't aim for the head. Plush heads are usually lopsided and slip right out. Aim for the smallest part of the body, especially with larger plushies--the smaller the grab point, the better your chances of winning. Another fun bonus: you can trade in plushies to get prizes that are actually worth more, which makes winning even more exciting. I ended up bringing home a couple toys for my family, and honestly? The whole experience was just pure fun. Bright, playful, welcoming, and way more rewarding than most arcades--this is absolutely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Service~Jackie was our waitress super sweet and attentive (she knew when to bring another round). Continue to check on us and, made sure everything tasted good. On Sunday's open until 11:30pm Games .$25 per game and $11 per shoe but it was well worth. Ambiance~Very clean and, all the staff was great. Arcade/Tap house to the right when you walk in. We met, talked, laughed, and cheered for a group of people on both sides of us. My husband and I made a bet who would win I almost sweep him under the rug but, I'll take 3-1 (I am trying to figure out what I want;) Plenty of parking. I would highly recommend this bowling alley it's been a few years but, it's just as fun and good vibes as I remembered it to be.

Lots of "prize" games but very pricey & of course, the kids we brought wanted to win the big stuff like a brand new Nintendo Switch or PS5. Unfortunately one kid walked away with nothing (as a mom, totally expected that to happen. These games don't allow winners.) but my son spent probably 20+ dollars on a stuffed animal so I guess for him, it wasn't a total bust. The parking lot was pretty full, and I learned walking in that there was a bowling league there. Busy lanes! I can't speak to the food but did get a Bloody Mary which was decent enough. It's a sketchy area, if you aren't Portland-familiar. Don't leave valuables out in the open, blah, blah, blah. You know how the rest goes.

There were multiple kiosks to buy chips and the power card. The chips had bonus for each purchase amount and there was an all day option available for $55, valid for only the day of purchase and a max 500 ticket limit. As we started going around the arcade/games zone, I realized it was not as big as some of the other D&Bs I had been before. Still there was a good variety of digital games, interactive games, and all familiar games like basketball, ski ball, and bowling. They also had a unique Human Forklift game where kids were lifted like a forklift in a pit where they grabbed plush dolls. It required a separate ticket. We also noticed so many of the games were out of order or the power card tap wasn't working. Though it was exciting in the beginning, it fizzled out as the evening progressed, our 6 year old ran out of games to play and wanted to leave.

She said let me get a manager. I then asked her if she could put it on one of the big screens and I would sit in front to watch the game. She informed there was not a server on in that section till 5pm. I told her the bar is empty except for one table. I said I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem for her to walk over and wait on me. She said it was up to the server. I told her I'm sure her manager would be fine with it. Boy was ai wrong. After waiting 10 minutes for a Manger I saw him him and approached him. He asked me what game I was looking for. I told him it was on a prime video. He said let me see if we could get it. I said thanks and could you put it on the big screen. I'll sit in front. Right then and there He snapped I cant sit there because we don't have a server till 5pm. Then he stormed off before ai could say anything. So I sat at the bar and waited to see if he could get the game. He couldn't so I left. Pretty disappointed in the bartenders attitude and managers attitude not letting me sit in front of the big screen. If you had the game I'm sure I would spend at least $100. I had friend joining me. But now I'll never step in there again, tell my friends and post all over social media. Here are some pictures of your empty bar.

    I tried supporting this local shop, but after what I saw, I won't be back. Watching a kid get…read morecharged $50 for a two-pack item with a $14.99 MSRP was enough for me. That's roughly $25 per modern pack--for cards that aren't vintage, scarce, or anything remotely special. There's a difference between running a business and shamelessly exploiting hype, and this shop clearly knows exactly what it's doing. That's not "market pricing," that's blatant price gouging aimed at the people least likely to know better. Card shops are supposed to build community and help grow the hobby, especially for kids. Instead, this place feels more interested in squeezing every possible dollar out of excited young collectors and their parents. It's hard to call yourself a community shop when you're pricing families out of the hobby. If your business model depends on overcharging kids and parents who don't know better, that says everything people need to know. Even their video games are priced way more than even EBay prices.
