We are mildly infuriated after our visit. 1st- our group all came with the same coupon for buy $10 of game tickets get $10 free but many of us received different amount of tickets for paying the same price. This is inconsistent training in employees and was hopefully not sexiest. 2nd-at the go carts, the attendent was very aggressive and clearly not joyful and hot and sweaty in the Florida heat. It would be nice for faster carts and larger/wider track to pass slow ahh children who can't drive. A friend got whiplash after a kid who couldn't drive crashed into her. 3rd- when we went to redeem our points from our game cards in the gift shop after the employee scanned the game card multiple times he admitted that he lost the points and that he accidentally transferred them to someone else's card and so I could not receive any prices for the many 91 points that I won. Which was disappointing considering the price I paid and the employee did not seem that bothered about it 4th- after ordering a pizza it did not come out for 20 minutes and the bartender said that the waitress forgot to put in the order, poor waitress service but the food was good. 5th- after going to the go carts for the second time the employees attitudes did not improve and the safety googles did not fit all the faces. And we were screamed at for having boxed up food. The employees seem passionate about their job but also bored with the time. 6th- the Ambiance was nice but it would be more enjoyable to have a separate dining area away from the screaming loud children along with the loud noises and bright lights that come from the game area. We thank you for your time for reading this and we look forward to hearing back. read more

Fun for Everyone! Looking for a place where everyone can have a blast? Livingston's Amusements has it all arcade games, billiards, bumper cars, and even indoor go-kart racing. On our last visit, we kicked things off with a go-kart race (I'll admit, I'm a "safety-first" driver... came in last place ). Afterward, we grabbed some food and drinks, then hit the arcade where I redeemed myself by taking first place in Mario Kart. The atmosphere is lively, with families, kids, and couples all enjoying themselves. The food service can be a little slow due to the open seating setup, but our server was warm, attentive, and apologetic for the delay. Other perks? Plenty of parking and a wide range of activities to keep you entertained for hours. Whether it's a date night, family outing, or a casual hangout with friends. read more

This is a pretty cool spot. They have arcade games, pool, and a bar. I really loved that they have a separate area for pool for just 21+. However, a group with a toddler did manage to come in and that kinda ruined the vibe. We had a waitress in that room ask if we wanted a menu for food/drinks and then she never came back......so we just would walk to the bar and place our order and drinks. Honestly, the pizza here was pretty good! I was surprised. This is a great place to hang with friends. Can't believe I didn't know about it when I lived here! read more

My two granddaughters had a good time. You fly through the money. It takes a lot of tickets to get any decent prizes. I wouldn't recommend eating there. Lots of noise and activity. read more

My wife wanted to have a date night on a Sunday. So we decided to drive up to Sarasota to this place called Livingston Amusement. It seemed to be a full parking lot when we arrived. There were many family's, kids abound, couples and folks playing in each section of the building. We were greeted at the door by two individuals and the initial experience was very professional. The establishment has go carts, bumper cars, arcade video games / rides and a "points" game room for kids, many pool tables for both adults and kids alike, it is a well set up establishment. It took us back to our regular play with arcade games and prizes when we were younger. We decided to play some billiards. All the dining tables were marked with signs reading, "Tables reserved for pool customers only". Since it was hourly to play, we decided to grab a table but eat before we started our clock on the pool table. Several times, wait staff asked if were going to play pool and we said yes, but they never offered to take an order for food or drinks (this was strange). In fact, they almost seemed harassing, it was a little uncomfortable. Then we got the pool table and balls and shot several games of billiards. They have a good menu selection of bar food. We had chicken bites and a mini corn dog platter. We also had two adult beverages. The meals and drinks set us back around $60. The ticket for the hourly pool table was around $9. So our date night was about $75 and while that seemed to be a little high, it was a fun night. read more

No service whatsoever. We had to serve, ask for plates, napkins & sodas. The waitress was nice, but didn't attend to our party. The kids ate the pizzas and we had to clear the table for cake. We were told our "party" was served with enough pizza for 20 guests. Only 9 children were able to eat the pizza. We served the pizza and cake ourselves. It's a big rip off. read more

Went here to play arcade games with my daughter on a rainy night on vacation. Not a crazy selection of arcade games, but the ones they had were good. I do feel like the games were a bit overpriced compared to other arcades we have visited in the past. What was most concerning was the young children sprinting around the arcade. One collided with me while running around not paying attention. Gave me a fat lip. No parent in site. I do think they should monitor more/enforce parents watching their children. Large selection of prizes in the game room. Staff was sweet. Would come back and give it another chance, despite our not so great experience. read more

Front person was helpful. She told us how everything worked. Went to the bar and had two very good mixed cocktails. Then ordered mozzarella sticks and fries. Both hot and fresh. Drinks and food came out to a fair price read more

So many great game options and even more prize options available. The games are fun and rewarding and the prizes to ticket value keep us coming back for more! read more

I enjoyed the arcade and the bumper cars -- those were a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the experience at the prize counter left a bad impression. An employee named Joshua was helping a customer, then got caught up in a personal conversation with a friend about how they knew each other. My friend and I waited patiently for them to finish, but after their long chat, another lady walked up and cut the line. Joshua immediately helped her while ignoring us, even though we had been standing there waiting. I only wanted to grab a quick piece of candy, but instead we walked out disappointed. Sadly, this really soured the visit and we won't be coming back. read more

Happening to be in Sarasota, Fl or deciding to drive down that way... Well, ya'll need to stop at Livingston Amusement! It's a great place for family, couples and friends! Just let the child in you take over! Honestly it took me back to my childhood with fun arcade games, bumper cars, Go karts and pool tables! Remember to save those points and head down to the prize room! Hungry? They have a wide selection of food for everyone's taste! Pick, choose, and enjoy! Adults in the mood for a drink? They also have a variety of selection. I recommend: *Starburst *Hustler Our waitress was Mo she was the sweetest thing! We loved how she attended us at all times! She made sure we had everything we needed, our drinks were on point! The food was GREAT! So, shout out to Mo!! We totally recommend this place! read more

So i went here today with my fam and I really like the concept of this place. We were able to let my kids playing RK while we play pool which is pretty cool. I like that they separate the adults and kids in a way. The bumper cars are the best. The go karts are just okay. The only thing that they could change is that gratuity that they added the end of the bill or at least they can let you know that they're about to add it. All the staff was pretty cool I didn't have a problem with the service it was nice. read more

It was a raining afternoon and we didn't wanted to stay in, since we were all on vacation mode! We search for places near our Airbnb and this place pops out. I just want to tell you ... PLEASE low your expectations!!! Yeah, it was packed, but I bet everyone was there for the same reason. It was pouring and no one wanted to stay home or drive far. Most of the games were out of service and the place smelled humidity. The staff was rude and NO customer service at all. The ONLY staff member that had time to answer questions or provide any help was the guy in the go carts and bump cars. His name was Davon (sorry if is missed spelled)! He was cordial, attentive, helpful and polite. That's the reason I gave them 2 stars ; if not would have been 0!!!! read more

Horrible food. Horrible service. The gamed sucked. Not coming back ever. Not sure what else to say

Arcade was a lot of fun. However when we went to pay our tab with the bar, they failed to mention that an 18% gratuity bill as already added to my bill. So basically for me going up to the bar to order food & drinks, they got a 40% tip. Not impressed with that. read more

Great place, two red heads in front have terribly rude and abrasive attitudes for no reason. Would do better in the back where they won't have to engage with customers read more

Everything about thus place is awesome my grandkids were here and absolutely had the best time we will definitely be back

The games selection just sucks. The bowling alley has better games. This place has stupid lotto style "games" and a bunch of mediocre shooter games that are all the same. And expensive. Boring. The prize selection was ok though, but most of the stuff took way too many tokens to win. read more

If you're looking for an arcade (Dave & Busters like) for a date or family fun but don't want to drive to Tampa then this is t place to go. Prices are so-so. Minus 1 star because the Food isn't anything to write home about. Minus 1 star because I was disappointed that they didn't offer a military discount. read more

Extremely unprofessional management. I wrote an email so we will see how they respond and I will update. Also, the bar adds gratuity to your bill, then suggests you add more BUT the suggested percentages are on the total amount that already has gratuity included! So scammy! read more

Great atmosphere and great people. The food was good, games are fun, and it's not over priced. 10/10

Great ambience we played pool and had a great time. Also, a lot of fun games. 100 % recomendado read more

Great for teenagers and older. We had a good time. The food was good. They have new attractions coming.

I had soooooo much fun at this place. Bazooka Ball is my favorite but I also had tons of fun racing on the go carts and slamming into people on the bumper cars, lol. Food and drink options are good. Nice place for young and young at heart. I will go back again!!! read more

First time there. Great pizza, great service. Our family had a blast there. I hope they expand and place more arcades and entertainment. Maybe a bowling alley!? We're definitely going back. Thank you! read more

Used to take our kids here all the time but they kicked out my 18 year old daughter because her 22 year old friend had a drink with her and she was with him. Not sure if they had white men yell at her because she is an asian girl or what but she came home crying and we are disappointed read more

The staff is extremely rude and the guy working the front door was terrible. There should be a training class on customer service. I had a 3 year old that needed to use the restroom and was turned away and told to go up the street or wait in the line to get in. Just very disappointed in our experience. read more

Sitting here now with my grandsons and was hoping to get table service but no one ever showed up. Ordered two beers at the bar and gave up on having any food. The boys went through $20 each in game credits in less than 20 minutes. Save yourself the aggravation and drive to Brandon to Dave and Buster's. Leaving here to go have dinner at a real restaurant with service. read more

Came here to just ride go karts and had a great experience. $10/ride and little wait. Super friendly and helpful employees.

1st time being here. Sat at the bar and met our bartender Harley. He gave us exceptional service. I like fruity drinks and he made this concoction of Strongbow Cider and Raspberry Belgium Beer. It was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to make sure we were ordering what we wanted. We brought the kids to play in the arcade, and bumper cars, etc. super fun for the entire family. read more

Rude staff except for the go cart guys in back. They should be in management ! Went for go carts with our family of 9. Had an issue with our go cart ride and the 2 attraction pass so we talked to manager. Was not helpful after we explained our situation, he didn't want to listen or understand so he offered to add the cart $10 into a card so he didn't have to "argue" with us. Terrible customer service, half games are out of service. Gave him back the cards, his $10 credit and left. Take your family elsewhere! read more

My fiancé and I went here and started having fun right away. This place gave us a good 2 hours of entertainment. We went home with some decorations and a knife from the tickets from the arcade. Didn't try the food or go-carts. May go again. read more
