Genuinely one of our favorite spots in Nashville. Every time we have someone visiting from out of town we recommend a visit here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It truly feels like taking a step back in time, and a place to connect outside of the realm of social media.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With old style arcade games, backyard fun like giant jenga, fun bar food and drinks you truly can find something for everyone. The staff is always very kind and it will remain a staple in our rotation. read more

So this was actually a super fun night. We went on a Thursday and got there about 5:30. It's free to enter and about half of all of the games in the building are free to play. Classic video games like Pac-Man that kind of stuff. There are tons of pinball machines which you have to pay to play. Most of them are one token but there's one special one that's five tokens. One token=$1. There's also a bunch of outside patio games that you can play. We actually came because they were playing bingo, which is also free to play and it was really fun. Started at 7:00 and had actual prizes that you could win. We got a gift card for five dollars that you could use for food or drinks. The french fries at this arcade/bar. We're actually some of the best I've had in a long time you can tell they're definitely fresh cut and cooked when they order them. I had the chipotle burger, and it was really good and one of my party had the mushroom Swiss burger and loved it and we also got the nachos. It's a little bit more expensive than a casual sit down, but the atmosphere was fun. Wheelchair accessibility: everything was really open and there was a nice long steady ramp up to the front door. There was a zero rise entry and the bathroom was pretty good. The soap was a little bit high. There is no seating that is not barstool height in the front where the bingo was and so that would be difficult, but there is some seating on the patio that's accessible. The games are all old-school cabinet style games and so it would be a little bit high for someone in a traditional wheelchair. read more

The perfect place to blow off steam and let the kids enjoy. It's an entry fee for the kids but a couple hours go by pretty quickly once you're in the zone and enjoying the vibes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It a nice ambiance with low lights but plenty of gaming options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't eat food but there were plenty of drinks flowing from the bartender. The pinball machines operate off tokens it's nearly $1=token so that gives you an idea of how much to keep in mind when going. A few of the games didn't work but the door staff replaces your token so that was nice. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a pretty cool place! It's one of those arcade bars with a ton of pinball machines.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was there for NYE which was ok, but a bit overpriced for what you got. The part that annoyed me is that the video games were free, but not the pinballs. Those should have been included! We ordered food and drinks as well. Those were solid except the nachos. The workers were nice! In all, this place was good. Not great, but good enough! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Somewhere between OK and good, but the place has lost its luster and is starting to feel a bit more like a bar with games and a bouncer rather than a classic gameroom with a bar if that makes sense.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My last visit games which are admittedly old enough to have kids that vote had switches that need replaced, there weren't enough drink holders for people so drinks were perched on games, couches which would be great for hanging out on reserved and never a person seen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can be turned back to excellent, but they probably are making more as a bar with games than a gameroom with a bar so - eh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe I've got the wrong idea about what it was supposed to be. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Relive your childhood arcade days but now with an elevated twist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoors there are more arcade games and pinball machines than one can count.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outdoor lawn and table games are plentiful in the back courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent bar service with a wide selection of beers on tap, cocktail and food menu options also available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Easily enjoy the open and receptive atmosphere alone or with a group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Venue open to the public, but anyone under 21 is $10 admission. 21+ only after 8PM daily. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We were looking for something to do with kids in Nashville as most of the activities around the town involve things that wouldn't entertain most kids! We happened to find this place. All I can say is even as a parent I was entertained![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The arcade games are all free to play and brought back a lot of nostalgia from my days as a kid playing the games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had pinball and yard games too but honestly I just played the arcade the entire time I was there and probably would have stayed longer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a full bar and you can take your drinks to the games and use a drink holder that they have stationed around the place. We did have lunch there and it was just ok. Seemed like mostly frozen food that was fried and served. But that's ok because eating isn't really the point of this place. read more

This concept is genius ! We had a great time . Isles and isles of retro games to choose from . Had a great time here . read more

This arcade is definitely tucked away- I feel if you didn't know it was here I'm not sure you could find it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very spacious and brightly lit and the staff were friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]we did visit on a karaoke night and I will say it was much too loud- the speaker was blaring so that if you were playing any of the consoles near the front you couldn't talk and would walk away with a ringing in your ears.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pinball machines were very modern and they had a huge selection. They also have a couple free machines near the back and the fighting game ended up being our favorite. One of the games took a coin and didn't play so we went to customer service and they gave us another one to comp it. Great customer service! read more

Game Terminal is good if you're into retro gaming or just want a night out in Nashville. This large arcade/bar combo has a large collection spanning decades, from classic Pac-Man and Street Fighter cabinets to a huge lineup of pinball machines. Most of the arcade games are free play. The food/drinks are good but not standout. If you're in the Nashville area and love arcades, pinball, or just a unique hangout spot, Game Terminal is a must-visit hidden gem. Easily worth the trip. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cool place, i decided to take a weekend trip to Nashville and this place was around. It didnt disappoint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't know that adults above 21 dont pay apparently which is bonkers. I didn't try the alcohol but many people did get some so im sure it's good. I'd definitely recommend here. read more

Almost all of the games were free! Most of the pinball is a dollar. They have cornhole and gigantic connect 4 and jenga outside!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent gaming hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wide variety of new edition pinball machines and classic nostalgic arcade games. Shane the employee was so helpful as was looking to buy a pinball machine. He guided me on what to look for and game play. Def will be my place to come!! read more

Game terminal is a cool spot to stop at for a good time with friends and family! Inside is full of different themed pinball machines with almost any show or character you can think of. It was neat seeing all of the old school games and imagining back in the day how lively arcades were. There's a few other arcade games like racing and shooting games but it's mostly just pinball machines. They have an outdoor area, unfortunately we didn't go outside because it was warm but it looks like they had corn hole and other outdoor games for people to play. They also have two indoor bars with drink and food options. Again, we really just went there to check it out and play a few games but the little we experienced was a fun time! A bit overpriced for each game but it's really the vibe that you're paying for. We had a good experience! read more

What a fun experience! I've been to several bar-cades around the country and this one is definitely towards the top! They have a great variety of free games located in the middle of the arcade with plenty of awesome classics mixed in there! We were greeted when we first walked in by friendly staff who explained the layout and mapped out the facility. The pinball machines and a few of the newer games require tokens, but they aren't very expensive to play. Out back they also have corn hole, ping pong, giant Jenga, connect 4, and cool snow globes to reserve for a group! This is a great place to host an event or just to hang out for a few hours while in town! read more

Lots of arcades! Amazing selection of pinball games. Reasonable prices in tokens and they have drinks. The bartender was very helpful and happy to go off menu. read more

I've been to plenty of bar-arcades over the years but Game Terminal blows them ALL away! Located in a quiet industrial area outside of downtown Nashville, you'll spy a couple of searchlights in front, lighting up the sky. The warehouse type building feels a bit mysterious with minimal signage, you walk up the ramp, open the double-doors and wow! They card you up front for a 21+ wristband and it's time to play! Game Terminal has a couple of bars for bevvies and then just imagine the biggest, largest number pf arcade games you can imagine. If you're a pinball lover, I think they have over 200 tables, tokens are needed to play! And they are clean, maintained, and in great condition. It seems like every single type of retro 80s arcade cabinet can be found here and even better, it's all free play for the video games at Game Terminal! It's $10 for those under 21, I gather they make most of their money off of the pinball games and drinks. Game Terminal also has an outdoors gaming area with cornhole and some lawn games along with covered seating on a patio, phew! The ambiance here is lively and noisy, they pump dance music throughout the interior space, you can't help but have fun at Game Terminal. From the number of games, to the decor, and the cost of playing here, I can't imagine a better bar-arcade in the country. If I find it, I'll let you know! read more

First time coming here, husband and I wanted to do something different for date night. This definitely has some nostalgic games like super mario. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich as well with fries, the good not only was good but it came out piping hot. The tables are first come first serve unless you reserve an area. You order and pay at the bar and get you good in this other little area to the side when it's ready. If you don't drink they also have mocktails. We didn't know what to expect but we had a good time. They also have games outside but it was too hot to go out there. Oh, if you're under 21 you gotta be out by 8. I will definitely come back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place lots of fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Machines are in pristine condition. Thomas was great and full of knowledge. T

First when you're driving to this place, it is in the mix of warehouses so don't be thrown off. I think it's an amazing location. Parking is free and not a lot of traffic. Kids are allowed until a certain time. Kids are $10 to get in. Adults are free. It is geared towards adults but kids will have a ton of fun too. I took kids with me and they had a ball. Mostly all the arcade machines are free. Plenty to chose from. I thought I was walking for days finding new ones to try. There were so many to chose from and most time people didn't stay on them long so once you loop back around, the one you were eyeing would most likely be open. The pinball machines were not free. You had to get tokens to play them. 1 token =$1. I thought that was kind of steep so we didn't play those much. There were some outside games as well that cost money. I did not order food or drinks while there but I did look at the menu. The food sounded really good but my crew wanted something different. Kind of bad food like but they did have some salad options. Really cool spot! I would come again when I'm in town. read more

This place is huge. Excellent parking. Inside is free play on arcade games and they are laid out by category so you don't have to worry about aimless walking looking for your faves. The staff was pleasant... mostly, but I'll change that to the law of averages. Two bars and the drinks were on point and not pricey at all! Bartenders were great and the food looked good! Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. I mean better than most "finer" establishments. There's even a game inside lol. Closer to a 4.5 than 4 and the .5 deduction is the service hiccup. read more

My family of four spent a very fun afternoon at Game Terminal yesterday. Kids have a small cover charge and adults are free to enter. Most of the arcades are free to play while the pinball machines are mostly $1 per play via game tokens you purchase. There are two bars with a nice selection of draft and bottled beers, cocktails, and a limited menu with appetizers, burgers, and typical bar food. We ordered several appetizers to share and I had a hard cider on tap. We all had an awesome time and would love to come back the next time we are in Nashville. read more

This is a pretty cool place. It was my first time here, and I felt like GPS was leading me to the middle of nowhere as I snaked through a warehouse district into a parking lot tucked behind some trucking/shipping outfits. Plenty of parking and a secluded spot in Nashville? It offers a TON of pinball and arcade games, many for free and the rest for $1 or so per game. On the outdoor patio you have shuffle board, ping pong, and cornhole options (free). A bar menu of decent if basic food options at fair prices, several draft beer options (our bartender poured lightly at first but got better as the evening wore on), and some cocktail options at a bit higher price. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and decent music round it out. Definitely worth an afternoon with friends. read more

Took the boys here on a Saturday afternoon. $10 per kid. Free for adults. Lots of games to play.... But so much is old school that it didn't keep my 9 and 13 yo as entertained as I thought. There were a number of games not working but no signage so that was a little frustrating. The outside is awesome- lots of games like shuffleboard, ping pong and cornhole. You checkout materials with your ID up front. Good beer selection on tap, so that was good! The place is set back in a warehouse area, but don't worry, you'll be fine with kids. read more

All equipment was running like it was supposed to be! So cool! Adults are free to get in, kids are $8. It's a great place to play on a hot summer day in Nashville! For sure, I'll be back. read more

I've heard great things about this place and finally got a chance to check it out this weekend. We went on a Saturday night, which meant it was really busy. Even finding a parking spot was a challenge despite the large parking lot. Luckily there was a lot of parking spots down the street since it is in an industrial neighborhood. The atmosphere is great - what's not to love about unlimited arcade games? There are only a few that are not (mario kart, time crisis, and a couple others) but they only cost $1 to play. Despite the large crowd, there usually isn't much of a wait to play. We had a lot of fun, and two and a half hours there went by in a blur. One of my friends even got to show off his Pac-Man skills that he had been training for his entire life. We will definitely be coming back soon. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is very clean with a vast selection of free to play arcade games, pinball machines, and novelty games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very friendly and attentive, and they gave us a few tokens back when a ball got stuck on one of the pinball machines. Their rates seem to be about $1.20 per token, and most pinball machines are 1 token a play with a few more rare and expensive ones being 2 tokens a play. Entry is free and so are the video games. The food and beer is expensive but with all the above mentioned it's what pays the bills. I was told Rob does the repairs ​and every game was clean and either fully working or nearly fully there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The surroundings are also immersive with neon, lights, and disco balls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend it anyone in the area as it's Tennessee's best arcade experience at unbeatable prices. I was told it was one guy's entire collection! read more

Most of the games are free. And the pinball machines are a dollar, which still isn't bad! Very spacious outdoor space! One thing of note-- if you're still weary of Covid-19, this might not be the place to go! No one was wearing mask and it a lot of surfaces ppl can touch with all of the games! read more

I liked this place, that's for sure. A cool idea for a bar. All the center games are old school games, which are 100% free. Pretty sweet, right? I like playing games like 1942, Area 51, and others, so I enjoyed myself. I have a soft spot in my heart for pinball, and that's where this place really shines. They have KISS, Star Wars, TMNT, Elvira and many more to play. It's a coin to play, and coins are 1 dollar a piece. So, be forewarned. You can definitely tell this is a bar even at 3 in the afternoon. So, if you're okay with your kids being around that, go nuts. If you're on the flip, and don't want any kids, well you'll have to wait until 8pm when it turns 21 and over. The food options were kind of lacking, but the burger, hot dog and fries we got were pretty good. Decent drink menu with a lot of game themed drinks for a nice touch. If I lived closer I'd probably go regularly. Fun spot, wish Louisville had something like it. read more
