    Maybe if you want that old town feel or feel like a kid from the from the 80s or 90s this place has it. This place has the arcades from when we grew up playing from donkey kong pinball machines mortal combat, etc. this place made me feel like a kid again but for adults grab yourself something to eat if you're a drinker this is your place. They do serve up some good nonalcoholic drinks for people that cannot drink alcohol, PSA good for the designated driver. They do have Boothe seating and stools and a round bar area with a huge menu above the bar. Upon our visit, we ordered the smiley fries, fried pickles, tenders finger food was pretty good the food came out hot and fresh. I do recommend getting these. items off the menu. They do have outside seating out front bench style along the walkway and if it's cold outside they do have a heater lamps, they also have TVs if you wanna come see the game. This is a Cool place to hang with friends and family.

    This is like barcade in the city just bigger! What a great find! The bartender is amazing and the drinks and "snack food" is reasonably priced! The games are all priced a quarter unless you do pinball. The inside is laid out well and it's open enough to feel comfortable with a group of people! I cannot wait to go back here! We went Sept 14th for my bday.

    My high score.

    This arcade is cool, they got great games. The drinks were good, they got merch that I wish could buy, and great service of tokens. The place looks retro and stylish. I remember going there with my sister and her boyfriend. And I got an high score on some motorcycle game.

    Purple gin drink and video games!

    Did a Yelp event here during the Food Crawl. What a fun time! All I ordered was fries and a drink but my drink was purple and my fries were delicious! Play an arcade game while having a cocktail and food, so fun! Place is small, not anything like a Dave and Busters, it's Beacon - everything is quaint!

    Happy Valley Arcade Bar has become one of my favorite places to take my family out on a weekend where we just need to enjoy ourselves. I came here a few times and recently for my birthday last weekend; it's a really nice spot if you want to just get some drinks and take your nostalgia back in time with the retro arcade games. The staff were really attentive even though sometimes when it gets packed you do need to remind them of your drink or food item to arrive to your table. Overall, I recommend this hidden gem that's in Beacon for a fun night or family time. The photobooth there is one of my favorites as I'm a sucker for pictures. The seasonal drinks are also festive and I recommend you to try at least one. :)

    Nice place to stop in, have a drink and play a few games. I visited at about 1pm on a nice Sunday and it was practically empty. Lots of tables and seating. The bar had a good variety including about 8ish beers on tap. Prices were about $7-9 each...there are also mixed drinks and other cocktails available which were about $11. They also have some food items you'd expect from a place like this: tots, pizza, chicken tenders...which ranged from $7-10. Many of the arcade games were older: Donkey Kong, Centipede, Area 51, Street Fighter, Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat and others. Most of the arcades were working. They run on quarters, which there was a machine which exchanged bills for coins toward the back. There is an outdoor space with a bunch of picnic-style benches. All staff there were friendly. Adequate parking on the street...I'd imagine you can get a spot on the main street within a block or two away, even on a busy weekend day.

    Nostalgia on tap! Speaking of which, this establishment does carry quite a nice little selection of beers. This place will definitely satiate your nostalgia especially if Stranger Things has aroused that reminiscence in you. They've got the *original Mortal Kombat, Contra, Crusin' USA arcade games at 25 cents a pop in true arcade fashion along with a full bar. There is outside seating and sometimes live music. It's such a cool place with quirky decor, like for example, the Salt n' Pepa vending machine (see my pictures). It's a fun outing with friends and kids in the beautiful city of Beacon.

    Happy Valley is such a fun place on Beacon's Main Street. I've actually been here a couple of times but only recently did I try the food and drink. There's not a huge variety of games but that's because of the limited size of the location. They had classics like PAC Man, the Simpson's game, and Fix-it Felix. They also had some games I had never played before that was lots of fun like Kung Fu Kickball. If you are into pinball there are three pinball machines with fun animatronics and features. I am not a drinker so I wouldn't think to get a drink but I saw they had a mocktail called the Shark Bite. I also ordered a small tater tots. There were a few other people there so they said it may take awhile. The food and drink ended up coming out in less than five minutes. The tater tots were crispy and delish. The drink was very sweet(the way I like it!) If you have quarters, bring those for the game. If not, there is a change machine for bills up to $10. There is also an atm if you don't have cash.

    Cute bar!

    Cheers to Happy Valley Arcade Bar, a newish addition to Main Street, Beacon and we're here for it! Note that while I personally never was into video arcades, being that I grew up in the Stranger Things era, I can't help but feel nostalgic here. Besides, even if you don't want to sit inside the very 80s interior that is jam packed with all the favorites (hello, Ms. Pac Man!), the front patio is deep and gives off killer beer garden vibes. And they have a sparkling wine (for Yours Truly) in addition to a great selection on tap (for my guy). And no, this isn't a food-focused place, but how are you gonna leave when there are arcade-style snack bar bites at your disposal (many vegan options). It's all junk food and that's all you ever wanted when you and your friends ensconced yourselves in the arcade in the 80s/90s, no? Oh come on, you know you were trying to get your name on the damn leaderboard and weren't leaving for dinner. I feel like this will be a regular stop for us, especially when we start going out with friends again. If my bougie ass can be happy here, there clearly is something for everyone.

    Happy Valley has to be one of the coolest/most unique bars I've gone to so far in the Hudson Valley area. Drinks are affordable, food is great, staff is friendly, attentive and fast paced, and the vibe is cool and trendy with neon lights and a ton of retro arcade games. I spend most of my time playing Mortal Kombat 2 and watching this couple play Pac-Man right on the same table they were eating off of. Live music is also available depending on the night. Planning on coming back with a big group of friends to do a video specifically for them.

    What a fun place! And for all ages too! My husband is a retro video game fiend and this palace definitely hit the spot. We've been to a similar bar/arcade in Bennington, VT a few years ago that has since closed so we were happy to find this gem. The games are only $0.25. Nothing like Dave and Busters where you'll pay a few dollars per game. They have a limited bar type menu for food which we didn't try but it's there if you want it. We tried a couple different drafts, which seemed to be local to the area. I also tried the mixed drink with a shot of fireball in a pint of hard cider. I really enjoyed it and it reminded me of fall. Ohhh, add a cinnamon sugar rim and bam! There's also a night courtyard out front that we enjoyed a drink on because the weather was perfect. We're already planning our next trip back!

    Simply the worst. Weird vibes. Lazy bartenders and broken video games. Vinyl room is much better.

    Stopped by for a drink and also got the margarita pizza. Both were delicious - the environment and vibes were amazing.

    This little restaurant is a great find. Everything I've had here so far is great. The chop cheese,…read morethe fried chicken sandwich, and tater tots sides are delicious and flavorful. You can't go wrong at this place. You're also able to buy individual beer and wine cans. Staff are also very helpful and nice. Come enjoy a meal and walk away full.

    Great spot for lunch!…read more My husband and I stopped in on our way back to our Airbnb after a long morning hike. This place is counter service, so we made our way directly to the register to place our order. Upon ordering, we were warned that it would be at least a 30 minute wait until our food was ready due them being short staffed. Although we were hungry, we weren't in a rush and truly appreciated the heads up! I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan sandwich and WOWZA! The sandwich was HUGE! I took a photo of my Gatorade bottle laying next to it for comparison (haha). I hardly ate half of it because it was so filling, however it was definitely delicious. My husband ordered a sandwich of his own (although I can't remember which one) and he was equally pleased. We also ordered a side of tots which were crispy and salty, just how I like them! My husband and I definitely could've shared one sandwich as we both don't eat a lot in one sitting, so this is something to keep in mind if you're reading this before your first visit here!! The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we chose to sit on the front patio. It was such a lovely atmosphere for lunch! Also, because we were sitting outside, they told us to come back in 30 minutes to check if our order was ready because we wouldn't be able to hear them call our name. All in all, a pleasant experience! Would definitely recommend this place for lunch, especially if you're in the mood for sandwiches.
