There is something disconcerting about video games that rely on swipe cards to operate them. I miss…read morethe feeling of pumping quarters into coin boxes. Call me old. But that satisfying clunk was always part of the video game experience. It also was helpful for understanding just how much a video game cost to play. Back in the old days, most games were a quarter. The super deluxe games were fifty cents. I remember the first time a game broke the dollar barrier. But if you have a preloaded card that cost $10 with 50 points, and one game requires 6.4 points to operate, how much does that game cost to play? And what if there are some games that cost fewer than four points, and other that need more that twelve? These kinds of swipe systems make it easy for people, especially kids, to burn through a lot of money in very little time. Thankfully, Tilt does have some all-you-can-eat pricing schemes. But these aren't always easy to figure out, especially for first time visitors. Nor is it clear just how valuable these deals might be to the newcomer who may be unaware that a ten dollar investment of fun, might last fewer than ten minutes. Let the buyer beware. That said, there are some truly cool games which are in very good condition, and which I haven't seen elsewhere. The place is clean, and there are many options for fun beyond simply video games--although the glow golf course is small, and bowling consists of just two lanes of candle pin bowling. Staff are pleasant and patient, especially with younger kids trying to redeem their precious few points at the redemption counter. It's hard to say if we'll return. The kids prefer the experience of tokens at the other game room nearby, where we've been going for years. They also prefer how the machines at the other place spit out wave after wave of physical redemption tickets when they do particularly well in a game of skill. Still, I think that the older kids might have a different take on Tilt if we were to get them an all-you-can-play pass at some point in the future. But on this first visit, even the kid in grade school couldn't believe how much money each game cost to play, especially in this era of high tech video games. But all that changes if you can score four hours of attractions and games for $20. Hopefully they will have a similar deal next time we're in town.

They take your credit card when you arrive to hold for the lanes. Long story short my card and another got swapped. It cost me time on the phone and dealing with getting a new card and fraud charges dropped. PLEASE STOP THIS TECHNIQUE. Either have someone swipe to put a hold on a card or something different. DO NOT TAKE A CARD ANYMORE. This isn't 1999 anymore. I get you don't want people walking out but find a better way. Obviously your staff aren't good enough to make the system work, plus it's a security nightmare as you proved today. Fix this and I'll absolutely change back to 5 stars.

Gave it a try and we walked in like a scene from a movie, the handful of locals at the bar gave us a once over. Found our way to a table, fella came from behind the bar and took it appetizer and drinks order. Cheese fries of sorts were very yummy. The Arena is connected to a bowling alley and does have a stage of sorts, looks like either live music or karaoke might take place. TVs are available to watch sporting events but the TVs might be 10+ year old, not the highest resolution by any means.

Our table got cheesy garlic bread, a hot honey pepperoni pizza, and a sweet bourbon BBQ and bacon pulled chicken sandwich and fries and all the food was to die for. Everything was so fresh. Possibly my new favorite restaurant in town. We spoke with the manager that says they do karaoke nights, poker nights, paint nights, murder mystery dinners, etc there all the time. Not to mention the darts, pool tables, and bowling. If you have never been here or haven't been here lately, I highly recommend it.

We finished our first game at 8:45.... In which the man running the place said he didn't feel like staying anymore and ask us to turn our stuff in. He said he had to be back at 10 AM and needed to get home!!!! So basically the hours they advertise aren't actually real... it is up to his mood. And to top it off... none of the score boards work so you have to try to see how many pins are left and keep score on your phone/paper. The place is so dirty, unfriendly service and close when they feel like they want to. Sorry.... No wonder they weren't busy!!!! Don't recommend this place at all! On another note:The bar below (4D's) was super great to us and welcomed our party willingly.... even turning on the dance floor lights and music.
