    Quicksilver is an awesome arcade bar and a welcome addition to the Huntington downtown, conveniently located right next to the theater and across from Roosters Wings. Here's hoping they stick around for a long time to come! Visited here three times so far, and it's been a lot of fun each time. They have a ton of retro games, spanning the early 70's to late 90's machines. Along the walls they have quite a few of the older consoles hooked up to play as well. The best part is the price: so long as you make a food and/or drink purchase, most of the games are free to play! The exceptions to this are the pinball games, air hockey, and Dance Dance Revolution; while I'm not sure why the pinball machines are extra, the DDR and air hockey being extra is understandable given their degree of popularity. I was lucky enough to be one of the first to try out their food offerings from Dig Dog, the mini-restaurant inside the arcade bar. They have an excellent assortment of creatively-designed hot dogs, fries, tots, and mac and cheese to choose from. One of my only issues with this place is that the hot dogs can be undercooked from time to time; I am hoping that once they become more popular, they can have hot dogs continuously grilling so that they always have one ready to go and don't feel the need to rush the cooking to serve it to waiting customers. The bar is very inviting and offers a multitude of specialty beverages. If you have a larger group, they have plenty of tables nearby the main bar to sit at. The craft beer selection is quite good and prices are what you would expect to pay at other places in the Pullman Square area. Try the specialty drink "Butterbeer" for sure! The staff members here have always been very polite and friendly during my visits, and they do a great job keeping the place clean. After 8pm, the place becomes adults only, which is nice to help ensure a quieter but still fun atmosphere. Truth be told, I am curious how long the video game console setups will last, since I see some careless person drop the controller on the concrete floor nearly every visit. Come on people, if you want nice things to last, don't break them! Here's my best recall of noteworthy games this location has, though this is not exhaustive by any means: Dance Dance Revolution, air hockey, 8-10 pinball machines (including Guardians of the Galaxy and Black Knight), many game consoles (including Sega Genesis, SNES, Dreamcast, and newer consoles in the couch area), Burgertime, Qbert, Mortal Kombat I and II, Asteroid, Missile Command, Time Crisis 2, Cruisin' USA, Carnevil, Area 51 Site 4, Dig Dug, and many more. I'm so glad this area finally has enough customers to support cool hangouts like this. I will be sure to do my part to keep them going! Overall: 4.5 stars ------- Pros: - Great selection of video games, and with most of them being free, the price is right! - Awesome selection of food and drinks to suit every palate. - Nice staff help to make this an enjoyable experience. - Perfect place to relax and get away from the world for a while. Cons: - Dig Dog hot dogs could use a little more time cooking, though I'm sure they will iron out that issue very soon.

    While I wasn't the biggest fan of this arcade, I figured it was unfair for it to not have an online…read morepresence. To be honest, it barely has any presence at all: you can find very little about the place online, or even on the mall's website itself, and it has no direct phone number (the number I am adding to the listing is the mall's main directory). I should probably mention that it is in unit 790, on your right after you exit the JCPenney so you have a fighting chance of actually finding the place. So then you might be inclined to wonder: why did I care enough to find an arcade that doesn't seem to want to be found? Simple: I wanted to find a DDR machine to play, and there simply aren't that many anywhere these days. According to an old online source, there used to be a Tilt arcade here in Huntington Mall that had a DDR machine. I figured it wouldn't hurt to check, so I decided to stop by when I was already in the area for a Homegoods visit. Well, Tilt is no longer here, though it seems it was bought out by a local operator and rebranded as "Fun Time Arcade". Seeing as how I was the only customer there when I went, I'm curious if they informed anyone they still exist. As you can tell by the pictures I've added here, it's a bit like the nearby Camden Park: some old school charm but mostly just old. There is not a DDR machine; sadly they only have a Pump It Up one, which is far less fun. However, if you're into claw machines or ticket-winning games, they have tons of those, and they are filled with interesting prizes I haven't seen anywhere else (I got the distinct feeling they pretty much just put whatever they wanted into them, haha). Also, they have an original Time Crisis light-gun game, which is pretty cool since you can't find them at other arcades now that they have been replaced by Time Crisis 2 through 5. I didn't check out the prizes since I'm not really into ticket games, though they appeared to have a wide selection. As it stands, this arcade is fun to drop by if you want to play a light-gun game or bring some younger children to spend half an hour or so. Outside of that, not a ton to recommend it, and since arcades are somewhat out of vogue these days, I can't blame the owners for not being willing to shell out for some newer or classic games. Don't expect much, though still stop by if you really like arcades like I do. Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars ----- Pros: - It's pretty much the only arcade around. You'd have to drive all the way to Charleston to find anything better. - The machines are well-maintained, I barely saw anything out of order (a rarity for modern-day arcades). - Games are affordable, with most of them costing about 50 cents a pop (and 25 cents for some of the claw machines). No tokens here, just quarters, so no worries about getting stuck with tokens you can't use. Cons: - Not a great variety of games, and don't expect to find anything that came out within the last 7-8 years. That said, don't expect too many classics either. - Not really a ton to keep you entertained for very long unless you have kids who love to play games that win tickets. Even if you enjoy shooting, racing, and claw games, you might get about 20 minutes of entertainment out of the place.

    It's a fun establishment and it has grown since the last review is a pretty big arcade but it…read moredoesn't have a lot of games that are based on skill so you can't collect a lot of tickets so if you're looking for a place that you can collect a lot of tickets and get great prizes this isn't one of them this is one of those arcades that you have to seriously have a lot of money to get any sort of tickets so the object is to get you to go multiple times which is fun but you will get burnt out on the games that gives you tickets arcade meant for little kids but even some of the prizes are overpriced and don't relieve your review on Google the owner has a pretty bad attitude when it comes to any bad reviews reviews you will get blamed for it

    A fair number of games, with lots of claws, ticket games, and a racing game and Time Crisis as well.

    Pump It Up machine. It's no DDR, though if you absolutely have to dance, I suppose this will serve your needs.
