    Unbelievable value, $20 for a month pass? Like you would spend that in 15 minutes at Dave & Busters. If you live locally it's a no brainer, especially if you have kids, but also if you don't? I love that they have DDR here. I don't like running but I could play DDR everyday for aerobic exercise. I saw that they rotate the games, I hope they don't get rid of this one. It is a bit unfortunate that the machine is placed right next to guitar hero because it can be kind of hard to hear the music when someone is playing guitar hero. As a middle aged man I feel a little silly playing DDR but it's been a good minute since I've gone out dancing and this isn't the same but it gives a similar feeling. I wanna come back for a date night with the wife sometime to drink.

    This is a hidden gem that I can't stop telling people about! I can't tell you how many times I've just passed by without know what was right behind the Braums. A free play arcade! For only 12 dollars at the door (or bar) you get free play ALL DAY. You read correctly, ALL DAY. We're always so excited to stop in with friends and family to celebrate birthdays in the book-able party room, or just to play random arcade games. They have a great selection to choose from and they rotate so sometimes you'll see new editions. After 8pm it's age 21+ only which I can really appreciate just because it's nice to have the option of hanging out without little kids screaming next to you. They also have snacks like hotdogs, nachos, fresh popped popcorn, and drinks. Stop in for your next family day, or even date night, you won't be disappointed! Sidenote: for fellow germaphobes like be, bring some hand sanitizer in your bag if you don't like germs :)

    Electric Starship is great! The inside is nice and dark with enough lighting to see where you're going. Girl at the front counter was really nice. You can tell the owner loves the place just by how much effort is put into the layout. Can't wait to go back!

    This place is so cool. We recently moved to the area and had no idea this was here. We've previously visited both of the Freeplays and I honesly thought this was better. I prefer the game choices as a 90s kid I loved it, and they had some food and drinks for sale at a good price. My husband had some beers they were stouts and delicious. Then lastly I don't know if it's being Halloween season but they had the coolest animatronics from horror movies. It was $12 entry for the day or $20 for the month so worth it, we will be back!

    Amazing arcade. The vibe is amazing. So.much.nostalgia. It isn't the kind of nostalgia where you're constantly thinking about it being nostalgic, though, it's immersive. Like time travel. Amazing. Great selection of games! Awesome service. Good selection of craft beer. Did not partake of the food, because we came in after a show and the kitchen was closed but it was priced right! Most things were under $5. Two people, three adult drinks, and unlimited play cost less than a trip through the drive through. Can't wait to check it out again!

    Just under a million...

    This place has potential to be awesome. Me, my boy & my gal came here for the first time July 11.... I immediately fell in Love with the Pulp Fiction pinball machine. That day I scored just under a million. July 17th we returned and bought month passes... that day I scored just under 2million. That afternoon a senior citizen male got on the Pulp Fiction machine and the idiot kept beating the machine and rocking it. It threw the entire balance off.... I've since been back 5 different days this last month on my pass to play and try and beat my high score. The machine has not once been balanced. The top of the machine is too low and it slopes to the back right. I'll gladly come back and buy another month pass, but only after the machine has been rebalanced. This frustrates me to no end. If I ever see another person beating on the machines, I'm gonna get on their azz.

    Impressed! Didn't know what to expect so it was very rewarding to find some vintage games that brought me back to memory lane. Establishment is very clean, and location is great. Though for me I felt like a kid all over again, my kids were not thrilled. So anyone taking there kids have an open mind that your kids may not be entertained. That is what I came across with mine, they didn't understand the basic concept of gaming from my era. The price is awesome so that was a risk I took to say I played with my kids games I once played.

    Tokyo Station is the sister location to Free Play Arcade, the groundbreaking bar/arcade concept…read more This location used to be a Free Play Arcade but has now been converted to a Japanese arcade theme destination. If you're expecting old school arcade games like Free Play Arcade, you'll be disappointed. If you want to be transported to Japan via Arlington, read on. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Step into the world of the Japanese arcade. As you walk in, you'll notice claw and Gachapon machines tempting you to play and win something. There's Japanese pop music piping through the speakers, and a dedicated room full of imported Japanese arcade games add more sounds. There's also a dedicated bar and dining area. It was relatively empty at 12:30 PM on a Friday. But it's also simply INCREDIBLE if you're into Japanese culture. You're not in DFW anymore. 2 Star. Service - There's a friendly bartender, if you want to order drinks (I did not). Otherwise, you place your order at a kiosk, grab a numbered puck, and then grab a seat. When your puck starts making a sound, your food will be ready at the windows. Heads up, if you leave you table unattended the staff with clean up so others can sit. They're very efficient. 1 Star. Food - Let me first say, if you're looking for the Free Play Arcade experience, you will be disappointed. If you're looking to be transported to a Japanese arcade (me) this place is awesome. The kiosks are very straight forward; you can order packaged ramen to ramen made in house. I went with the Street Tonkatsu. The broth was mild (not overly salty), and the pork belly was very tender. I also ordered the Tokyo Station Tacos. The JBBQ pulled pork was surprisingly tasty, but I couldn't help but long for a Chinese Bao instead of a tortilla. But what impressed me the most was the booth we sat in. It was connected to a monitor, and we could access a bunch of SNES games. 1 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes! Tokyo Station is my kind of jam. The only thing that gave me concern is that it wasn't very busy on a Friday. I hope this concept stays, because it's the closest thing to a Japanese arcade besides flying to Japan. 1 Star.

    This was my first time here and I am not really a huge fan. This arcade features Japanese arcade…read moregames and that's just not my thing. There were a few games that were the American version but only a few...Galaga and Pacman were the ones that I noticed. They did have a decent selection of pinball machines...however they are NOT included in the free play. I was a little surprised but also disappointed that pinball was extra... The cost for the "free play" is a little pricey compared to Cidercade...if we are comparing size and what's included. I also think that it helps to have an interest in japanese video games, which I do not. This is a really small arcade which did make it hard to move around and there were lines for the popular games, unfortunately, the overall experience was not really that exciting. The service at the bar was the great, the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. There is a separate area for the free play and the kids working the counter were mostly on their phones unless someone walked up to them.

It cost $12 for a full day pass…read more Every game is free except for those that distribute tickets: game card is needed for those. The pizza size makes them shareable and the ciders are very good!

    So my first ever cidercade experience was at this location for a meetup my older kid had with some…read morefriends that had moved over here. That visit we had an off putting initial exchange with the guy doing check in; who told my kid to throw away their plastic water bottle. I offered to put it in my bag cause they needed it for some medications theg were taking at the time but the only options was leave it at the bar, toss it, or take it to the car and get a free water from the food station. I get not wanting spills but both the cider cups and water cups offer no lids and my kids water had a lid and could go in a bag. I think we caught this guy on a bad day because we have not had that issue again. Though we learned our lesson and if we had a water we stuck it in my bag. At another locations they explained they are actually fine with water bottles ... They ask just don't be obvious about it...just don't want people bringing in things like starbucks drinks or sonic drinks that take away from their drink sales or could be sneaking in something that could cost them their serving license. Which I 100% get! Food wise; the pizza here is pretty solid! Of the cidercades I go to I think this is the one I would most likely get food at.
