    This place is a gem! Awesome spot to sit and chat, have a drink, & play some games. We had a blast.

    Monday nights they have tournaments!

    GREAT beer choices, pinball and arcade games.. bring quarters!!! Or the games take tokens. Way more intimate fun for adults and kid friendly during the day.. Weekly pinball tournaments.. we love this place !!!

    What a rad little spot! All but two games were in service, everything was a dollar to play or maybe a little more for some games, and the painted murals in the back hallway and in the bathrooms were STUNNING. So incredibly well done! Great beer options, but there is no food/snacks that we noticed. The owner was friendly; this place has been open for 3 years. Would highly recommend stopping by for some pinball games!

    Great place to chill, drink beer and play some pinball. They have around 15 tables and a dozen arcade games. Last few times I've been a few tables were down, but they swap them out often. Staff is friendly and crowd is a mix. They have a few snacks, but BYO food. Tacos are great next door. Must try!

    Too many pinball machines to count!!

    If you like old school arcade games and more pinball machines than you can imagine then you'll love this place. So many fun options to choose from including some of the classics and several newer themed pinball games. Oh and they have excellent craft beer choices both on tap and in bottles/cans, and the bartenders are always willing to give you a good beer recommendation or two. Reasonably priced HH specials and combine that with a token Thursday promo they have and this place is a hidden gem right in the heart of Surprise.

    Came in with my husband for the first time and we loved it! Solid beer menu with fun craft options at reasonable prices and great game options as well. I played multiple rounds of pinball and he did the same, plus several arcade games. The bartender was friendly and checked back on us to refill our drinks. There were a handful of other adults plus a few families there too but it wasn't crazy loud and still a perfect fun daytime date for us. We'll definitely return again either alone or with our kids.

    Cool new place in surprise! Old skool arcade with beer taps! Lots of games to play and lots of pinball too!! Friendly staff to boot! Giving five stars even though they don't have two of my favorite games, tempest and Mickey Thompson's off-road racing. But! They have super astroids and Mortal Kombat! I'd also like to see defender and missile command but who knows? Maybe they'll get them?? I'll be back!

    I love Player 1!!! I have visited twice now, and it's definitely somewhere I could become a regular. The vibe is really laid back, and there's quite a lot of decent games to play. Beer selection is excellent. Their decor is really fun, it's worth it to check out the amazing themed bathrooms!

    The place is fantastic, I went there today with a friend and we took the journey down memory lane together. After selecting a cold frosty from the " extremely clean" bar, we made our way over to the change machine and got our tokens. The place is dimly lit, a perfect atmosphere for gaming. If you're looking to kill a few hours and maybe have a beer or wine spritzer, support this small business and have some fun! I'll be back!

    Cool place to hang out! Fun games, good atmosphere, friendly staff. They have old school games like Donkey Kong, Galaga, Final Lap, Pac-Man, etc. Plus a bunch of exciting pinball machines! Four of us only spent $20 in a little over one hour. Surprise really needed a place like this for us to hang out! We will definitely come back!

    Love the pinball display screens!

    If you like the 80s and a chill environment, Player 1 Arcade is the place! It's definitely one of the gems of Surprise!

    This is the way!

Our server checked in with us multiple times and was super considerate, giving us privacy when he noticed we were having a deep discussion. Our food was fantastic. I've been here before with my husband and other friends but this was their first time. They've traveled to Ireland and England before so they were eager to try the Bangers and Mash to compare them. They had no complaints and almost finished it all off. They were thrilled to have leftovers though! Hubby ordered the Fish N Chips and the fish was super moist and tender, the batter light and crispy without being too crispy. He's usually not too into French fries, but he polished off the chips pretty quickly. I had the Irish Breakfast and it was amazing. Two fried eggs but with a warm, silky, runny yolk that I mopped up with the thick slab of brown bread was a great start. The black and white puddings were a wonderful surprise as the black pudding wasn't too mineral-tasting like some blood sausages can be to me. I actually wanted more! The fried potatoes were delightfully fluffy on the inside with a slight crispness on the outside. The rashers of bacon were a little salty for me, but when paired with the potatoes, they were perfect! I love coming back here!

We were served by a friendly waitress who worked under a lot of pressure to take everyone's order and keep it straight. She did amazingly well. My husband and I ordered the fish and chips to share. It was pretty good, though the fries weren't hot, as it probably sat longer than it should have after it was plated. They don't have cocktail sauce. They do bring tartar sauce with the fish and it was pretty good. The prices are reasonable. I drank ice tea and my husband drank two Bud lights and a tall draft. Our ticket came to $28.00. Not including the tip. It was a lovely evening, the weather was nice and the ambiance relaxed. I didn't take a photo of our food because we were hungry and dived right in!

We decided to come on a Wednesday afternoon for a Birthday with my girlfriend. Due to this being our first time behind the wheel of a high powered go-kart, we did have a lot of questions and concerns. The young man whose name was ALEX was just phenomenal. With a lot of nerves and questions Alex without hesitation and with great professionalism addressed each and every concern while putting nerves to rest. My girlfriend after speaking with him and after the pre-race briefing was ready and fit for action. It's hard to find such great character and hard working individuals these days. I highly suggest you go see Alex and I do hope he gets the much deserved credit he deserves for being a genuine, upstanding, and hard-working individual one hopes they could find at any place of business.

For our attractions we did the 7D experience (Los Banditos) and the Hyperdeck VR (Zombies) which were each favorites for people in our group. Getting to do 2 go cart races was perfect (1 blue track and 1 green track) and we shared plenty of laughs about the races and spin outs while enjoying the yummy food. The arcade offered so many options too, from VR & team Pac-Man to hoops and racing games. Was such a great value to get ~4 hours of fun, would highly recommend.
