The strawberry old fashioned used to be my go to drink but it's been off the menu for years and it has been hard to find something comparable on their menu that's not a regular old fashioned.

Good service, cool vibes. Of all the times I've been to pins I've never played duck bowling but I do enjoy the arcade and yard games. They're on Pricey side though; for three drinks + tips we spent about $45-50 each. Not sure if they have happy hour or weekly specials.

I came here on a first date recently and thought it was such a wonderful idea for doing just that…read more I love arcades and games in general, I'm super competitive! That said, it missed the mark a little. For starters, the A/C wasn't working in most of the space. The main bar area was cool-ish, but the rest of the place was so ungodly hot that I couldn't stand being inside. When the sun finally went down we kept going to the back patio to cool off in between games. And that leads me to the games... there were several that were "out of order" that we were so excited to play. Some of the video games on the wall with consoles weren't working well and shorting out. Some games had buttons that stuck and caused us not to be able to fully play the game. The basketball game wasn't keeping score. There were too many instances like this for me to count. It was a bummer. On the flip side, the drinks were affordable and they have a Borgata Pizza in the back. I didn't grab a slice, but my date did and he said it was good. The staff was also super friendly. There's several other arcades in Columbus that I would go back to before heading here again. I think with some basic upkeep this spot would be an all around winner.

Pretty good games; she liked the Minecraft shooter the best. Ended up with enough tickets to get a little candy. We'd come back.

We were visiting Columbus with our son and niece and decided to stop in to beat the heat…read more We went into laser tag and were grouped with a set of kids who had been playing for 7hours by their word. They proceeded to break the rules and proceeded to stand around our teams respawn and eliminate us over and over. When I informed the employee in charge of the laser tag they shrugged it off and allowed the kids to continue to do it until they made the game so unenjoyable for my son and niece that they didn't want to continue to play. The employee running the laser tag said maybe we should just come back on another day instead of enforcing the rules. When speaking with the manager, she said oh yeah they have been an issue all day. After spending $200plus for two rounds of laser tag and a round of nerf wars and getting the negative response from the employees and manager, we will not be returning and do not recommend spending the money or time there.

This is a tough review for me because clearly this is a locally owned small business who cares…read moreabout the quality of their guests experiences. I did not have a good experience but I'm confident that these issues can and will be resolved. So with optimism, I share this review. I was looking for a unique daddy date for my 3rd child who thanks to Covid(sucks) has missed out on two birthday parties(20% of his birthdays). I saw a Groupon that allowed you to play for several hours for cheap. My son(10) called to verify what games were available and was told "we have all of the major titles". That's also when I realized that kids don't make phone calls. It was like learning to drive for him. I digress. When we arrived there was a special even better than the Groupon so I bought 30 hours or so for future visits. The staff was kind and at our request gave a tour. The problem began when we tried to play. There were fewer titles than we expected and we couldn't get logged in. Technical problems are to be expected but after 20 minutes, the staff member said "it's been doing this all day"....Oof. You knew about the issue when I called earlier... Additionally, and this makes sense, we needed logins for the games themselves. Which we don't have. 45 minutes in we had played a couple of rounds of a first person shooter that we were wildly outmatched in. And it was the only game we could get logged in to. My son was a trooper. Each time it became evident the game he wanted wasn't working he would say "let's try this one dad" and unfortunately, no go. Eventually I had to pull the plug and scramble to find something else. Full refund and bailed. That one experience was brutal. But I just don't think that it's conducive of the typical experience. If you are an avid gamer in the genres they have, with your logins, on a good server day. You will have a 4-5 star day I'll bet my bottom dollar. Alas, not us. Alas, not us.

Nice to see some LAN centers/cyber cafe back in Columbus. Facility is very spacious and clean…read more Super friendly staff and the systems are all respectable with GTX 1060 video cards. Food area looks good too. I didn't have a chance to try and of the air fried dishes, but I can say that the Orange Creme bubble tea was very legit. $7 an hour to rent a system, or higher price points at a discount for 6+ hours. Nice to know hours roll over between visits so you're not buying fresh if you didn't use all your credits up on a previous visit.

But, they did reduce the size of their corndogs and the newer bartender lied to me about it.. so, if I hadn't enjoyed so many nights there and that happened it would be less stars. I've had a lot of great nights here, so 5 stars! Ask for Megan for the bartender, she makes your drinks right and doesn't take BS. Liam is cool, too. I guess.

The shoes were clean and the check in process was easy. We had a group of 8 on one lane, and played Hyperbowl the entire time. We got through 4 games and maybe halfway through a 5th. This game mode is unique and different, the bumpers are up and based on where your bowling ball touches the bumper, you get different multipliers on your resulting score from knocking down the pins. Each round the zones and multipliers are different. Our group was asked if we wanted to order anything as we were getting set up and putting on shoes, but they never came by to check on us after we said to give us a few minutes.

Unfortunately, we spent more time troubleshooting and trying to get the games to work than actually playing. Half of our group eventually just gave up and sat around chatting. That said, the food and drinks were absolutely the star of the show -- everything we ordered was fantastic and honestly the saving grace of the visit. Game Arena has a lot of potential and could be an incredible spot if the tech side was more reliable and smooth. Until then, it's more of a cool place to grab a bite and hang out than a true gaming destination.

Cool place to do gaming with friends! Free parking on the street on Sundays in this area is a plus…read more I parked in the gateway garage since I had no idea until my friend told me. Walking in, there were a number of people playing on PCs and on the consoles. Not overly busy for a Sunday night. But Seems the wait to use a console could be long as there aren't as many of those to use. They do have USB plugs if you want to bring your own controllers for the PCs. Had no idea about this as Im not the best on mouse and keyboard. PCs do seem to run super well for fast paced battle royale. Only issue is that the PCs don't have that many games. It's mostly popular ones but they don't all work for some reason. You can use the steam accounts on their system but logging into our own gave us trouble. Also, my friend had issues with his mouse and headphones. He had to keep flagging down staff to help him out. They are very accessible but this was kind of inconvenient. It's a cool space to hang though! They have a bar area and an upstairs area. You could honestly just come in to eat and get drinks without actually gaming. Food was good! My friends and I all got boneless wings. They are huge! It's a lot for the price. Korean fried chicken flavor wasn't at all Korean to me. But it tasted good. I added some fries and it came in a huge basket. Great prices in general! Even got a couple beers under $7 each. You order the food at the bar then they deliver it to you at your computer. They've got takeout containers if you need 'em too. Prices weren't bad. It was $15 for 3 hours and there's a time clock on the PC. They have monthly memberships if you come here a lot. This place wasn't here while I was at OSU. I'm glad they added it to the campus activities!

For my 1100th review, I am going to write about my amazing experience at Level One Bar+ Arcade!…read more I promised my brother a surprise during our trip to Columbus, OH if he passed his insurance agents license. He passed, so I took him to Level One Bar+ Arcade. I did it to have some brother bonding time. Its been years since either one of us had stepped into an arcade and really spent hours playing in one. Some of our fondest memories together occurred while playing video games and in video arcades. Thus, it was wonderful to relive those moments together and create new memories at another video arcade. Really cool place, ambience definitely is a cool classical arcade that just happens to have a bar inside. Tons of games here! You can find all the classics, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, etc. Talk about memories... i remember playing Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat at arcades when I was in grade school. I got go relive memories when I played X-Men the Arcade Game, a game I beat at an arcade when I was in middle school. The only disappointment was with Rampage. I jumped for joy when I saw it! I loved playing as either George, Ralph, or Lizzie as gigantic monsters devouring the worlds population and destroying cities when i was younger! Alas! It was not operable! My years away from playing video games showed my rusty skills. I used to be a beast in games, i did alright but man have my skills deteriorated since college. Again, we played for hours, and had a great time together. We did not spend a lot of money, all non-pinball games are free. We also did play some pinball games like The Walking Dead, and You Only Live Twice. Level One Bar+ Arcade made our last night in Columbus, a wonderful night. I definitely recommend coming here!

Almost all of the arcade games are free play (get yourself something at the bar ofc), but some of the bigger games and all the pinball machines take coinage. They have both an ATM and change machine on site. There's skee ball and some TVs on the wall too for sportsball games. It can be a bit chaotic and feel less like a barcade when big families come in, but that can't be helped on a Saturday afternoon lol It's a cool spot for gamers and the bartender was nice. Go and have some fun!

It was a place on my wife's "must see" list and so we went. Pulling up to the experience is underwhelming.

From the moment that the experience starts, you're transported to another world and you're on a choose your own adventure that doesn't disappoint.

This is certainly a place that we'll travel to go see again, and I've already told my friends and family about how special it was. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
