This is fun spot for adults and/or kids. Will definitely keep you busy for the hour or if you're willing all day. Their prices are great and staff are friendly. They have great deals depending on the day and a lot of good game options. They have mortal kombat, pacman, and many more! If you're looking for something fun to do that won't break your wallet, give them a visit.

My family went today and what an awesome place! You pay hourly, not per game, and there's plenty of pinball games and arcade games to keep you from getting bored. Definitely recommend!

Pinball paradise and other retro games! You know that skit about the guy on a dating show who is only there for the zip line? When I hit an arcade, I'm really only there for the pinball. Fortunately, this place did not disappoint. I paid a flat fee and got a wristband that marked my end time. All of the games were free/unlimited play, and there were lots of pinball machines. I don't think any of them were out of service, which is super impressive! I got a chance to play each machine. My favorites were Jaws and Game of Thrones. It's always such a delight to get to play on functioning, quality, retro machines. Retrovolt also had retro games other than pinball. I tried a couple, including the ninja turtles one. But... as I said... I was really there for the pinball. Overall, I highly recommend this spot. It clearly had some regulars, but everyone there was friendly and encouraged others to get in on the game play. I would absolutely return next time I have the opportunity.

Retrovolt is amazing!!!! Booked a birthday party for yesterday (3/8) and honestly it was one of the best birthday parties ever! The staff was amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. They were organized and honestly just great people. Everyone had fun the entire time and no one got bored. The birthday boy, my dad who it was a surprise for, loves Retrovolt now so I can see many date nights in the future with my mom there. Every guest left telling me how much fun they had and what a cool place it was. For anyone considering a party here, do it! You get your own party space on the side of the arcade with a bathroom and there are video game systems back there too. The room for the party was pretty spacious, we had a total of 32 guests. The have a total 6 tables and they had the tables covered with tablecloth (which was honestly so helpful cuz I thought we had to start from scratch when we got there). They typically do book party slots 2 hours at a time and you do get 15 minutes to set up before your time starts but we booked 2 party slots so we got a whole extra hour. But if anyone from Retrovolt reads this, thank you so much for the best party ever! I know I'll be back cuz me and fiance have some more games to play!

After grabbing pizza next door, I decided to head over to Retrovolt to get some gaming in as I've been scoping arcades for my nephews/niece for possible birthday parties. I bought an all day pass for one weekend day, and I believe it was $25 which isn't bad at all. I spent about 3 hours playing and had my fill of all these old school games. There's a big screen TV on one of the walls that have a PS5 hooked up to it.. There are more classic games here compared to Extraordinaire Arcade, but both of these venues are incredibly strong offerings. The really cool thing about Retrovolt is that they coordinate with the pizza parlor next door for private parties. That's a huge bonus for both business. Games work well, and I had no issues with the joysticks or buttons. I'd definitely come back again at least for myself or with friends if we don't schedule private parties here. Cheers, and enjoy playing!

I never tire of going to Retrovolt, as I know that I will find something new and interesting, on each visit. I'm primarily a pinball fan, but I will occasionally play arcade games. The arcade is constantly rotating pinballs and video games, so you'll find something that catches your attention. Recently, some Japanese arcade games have been added. There are now a few driving games, a few more shooting games, and a 4-player Pac-Man game. Pinballs range from classic 70s to modern machines. The majority of the pinballs are modern Stern machines, but you'll find Bally's/Williams tables from the golden age of the 90s. Currently, my favorite, Theatre of Magic is in the arcade. I know that it will eventually go away, but for now, I am happy to see her on each visit. Since opening, a separate party room has been added. This room holds quite a few people and can be rented for a reasonable charge. Retrovolt often has special events, particularly around their anniversary. There are specials during the week for those who want to play for more than an hour. They recently added Wednesday to the rotation. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays, unlessed rented out for a private event. (Do yourself a favor, rent out the arcade. It is well worth it!) Despite the rising cost of everything, Retrovolt has kept their $10 an hour price consistent. Staff is courteous and helpful. They're fans of these classics and can help explain the rules to those who are new to the games. Don't be afraid to ask. Check out the bathroom!

This place is located in calimesa in a little parking lot next to a few places to grab a bite to eat or a drink before or after the gaming madness! 10 dollars for an hour of unlimited plays or 25 dollars for an all day pass. Time will go by quick in here, I would suggest getting the all day pass if your dead set on completing some games to the very end like I am! Or if you're trying to get the new high score and have your initials display at the end of your favorite game! It's a great place for kids and teens to come to and hang out since there isn't much to do for the younger crowd in this town. It's also great for adults who want to go back to that nostalgic feeling you had as a kid walking into the Mall just to go straight to the arcade and spend time there all day playing games. Remember the 90s, 2000s era? If you don't, just come here and it will jog your memory!

I have an 11 year old son who is really into retro video games and who has expressed to his father and I how he wished he could experience an old school arcade like what we use to play at . I scoured the inter webs to see if such a place still existed amongst the round ones and Dave & busters of the world. Lo and behold I found retrovolt arcade! We drove an hour to surprise our son on his birthday and were not disappointed! Retrovolt is tucked away in a small shopping area , it is clean , staff is friendly and jam packed with all the classics! Street fighter 2 and mortal kombat 2, donkey Kong , my son was on cloud 9. I loved the family 4 pack play by hour option too. I would also like the mention they have a bathroom and it is well kept ! We will be making the hour drive to come again. Thank you Retrovolt for making my son's day!

Date night with bae, we came here after dinner at 21 Sushi House. Pricing is great, only $10 per hour per person on a Saturday night. Selection of pinball is excellent, plus a good selection of vintage arcade. Sadly, they did not have Tempest, which is my personal favorite. I would say they have more 90s games than 80s games, but still, a great selection overall. We shall be back!

We just hosted my daughters birthday party here and it was great! The staff are super friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend! So much nostalgia!

Oooh boy, this place was fun! Never tried this arcade and from the outside you might not notice how cool it is inside. They have a huge selection of arcade cabinets to play. I'm impressed by the collection giving everyone something to play including pinball. Love the look of the place, an arcade not afraid to have some lights on it with big murals and projectors. Like many modern arcades now it's $10 an hour or $25 for all day on the weekend. And, it's worth it. Was there for an hour, but easily could have spent more. Will definitely go back to show friends and try to finish some games. Oh, they have some rare Japanese cabinets like a Sailor Moon side scroller where two scouts can beat up bad guys and a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust fighter. Check their site for what they have in and don't be afraid to ask anyone there how to play games in Japanese. They don't have food, but plenty of options next door or walking distance.

Travis P.

Feel like there isn't too much to do around the area so it's nice have found this. First off $10 for one hour of play is very reasonable. You pay and get a sticker with a time which you're supposed to leave. Not sure if they kick you out but I assume it's mostly honor system. The arcades they have are pretty retro. Tons of fighting games along with guitar hero, and many pinball machines. One hour is certainly enough for a casual to get their fill of arcade games. Sadly I got wooped by my girlfriend on tekken. Definitely worth a checkout if you're in the area!

Hector R.

Oh my gosh. The moment you walk in, your walking thru a Time Machine. Imagine your in the 80's and going to the arcade. That's what is like. I'played games I have not played in 30 years. You pay by the hour all games are included. I will be coming here again they have a four person package for $30, or each person $10 per hour or you. An buy all day for $25 on weekends and $15 Thursday and Friday.

I came around 8pm on a Sunday and they close at 9. Time definitely flies when you are having fun so you'll need to make the most out of the time that you pay for. I came with a couple of friends for our first time together and the selection of games available was just too much to take in. We ended up playing Gauntlet for about 15 minutes and got to level 18. After that I jumped around to a few machines like Jurassic Park Pinball, House of the Dead and Street Fighter 2. The design of the arcade is visually appealing with all of the arcade machines, usage of blacklight, LEDs and decorations give the place a retro feel. Even the bathroom is decorated with retro memorabilia. I'd recommend any video game lover to come check this place out. I would like to see them expand to more 80's-2000's games like Time Crisis, the Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sunset Riders, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Dance Dance Revolution.

This place is a local treasure for pinball and vintage gaming fans. They have some newer arcade games as well. Very reasonable at $10 for an hour of play. They often switch up their game lineup.

I love this little arcade! It is a bit smaller than the ones of my childhood, but, the kids love classic arcade games and didn't miss a beat. I came one night for a private event and had so much fun! Adults and kids alike were tearing it up playing game after game. The guys working here are really cool guys too and talked to the kids about their systems. It really got one of my sons into classic gaming. He's become a bit of a classic gaming buff at his age, and this was all inspired by his first trip here. Its so cool to find a place like this still in existence. read more

Wanted to check this place out for a while since I heard good things about this arcade, and let me tell you, it definitely a 5 star rating! Right off the bat I'm impressed with the collection of pinball (new & old) and the variety of arcade cabinets with featured classics like TMNT, Pac Man and Sunset Riders which is a favorite of mine! The pricing is great considering the size and collection of venue (40 dollars for my girlfriend and I). Overall, I can confidently say if you're in the Calimesa (local or passing by to morongo like I was afterwards) don't pass it up if you want to capture some nostalgia along the way! read more

This place was a lot of fun. Staff was super friendly and they have enough games to keep you entertained for hours. Unlimited all day play was only $25. I can guarantee you'd spend 2xs + that amount if you were to have to insert quarters. All games WORKED GREAT and were CLEAN! Arcades are nearly impossible to find in this day and age, so I hope this place sticks around. We were dying when we saw who the employee of the month was in the bathroom!!

I have had multiple excellent experiences at this arcade so I felt it time to make a review. Last November we had our 9 year old son's birthday party here. The experience was so great from start to finish. The private party room and access to the arcade gave our guests such a great experience and to this day I get feedback from the other parents in attendance about what a fun time they and their children had. It really felt like the staff added so many little touches that took the party to the next level. But I have to say what really makes this place stand out to me is how *Autism Friendly* it is. This last Saturday I brought my kids for an hour of play and when my youngest walked in he started covering his ears and became overstimulated by the regular arcade noises. I felt so bad as I had forgotten to bring headphones with us. The gentleman working in the front saw what was happening and immediately offered us noise cancelling headphones. I was so impressed with not only the accommodation but also how observant and quick he was to offer a solution. I also noticed they have a ramp inside to get to private party room which is helpful for anyone in a wheelchair. Retrovolt is for everyone! 10/10 read more

No food inside the place but there is pizza and suchi near by. There is also a local bar near by. Other than that, the games range through all old skewl gameplay. Shooters, fighters, pinball, etc...

This is just what our area needed, perfectly located down an unassuming road, at the end of a residential area lies an old factory of sorts (military? Area 52?). Just inside the gates and past the vintage guard shack hangs a glowing sign "RetroVolt Arcade" letting you know you're in the right place. The blue green glow imitating from the open door begs for excitement and mystery. You pay and get a sticker with your "paid until" time. Stick it on your shirt for all to see. Integrity and time keeping is required to know when you either pay for another hour or call it quits. You can pay for multi hours I visited Saturday night during their grand opening January 21, 2017. I wasn't the only one that knew about it, the place was busy. Lots of cheers and screams as people got high scores or were defeated. Cost: very worth it. I'm sure they'll fine Tune and offer "deals" but Paid $10/hr and got my $$ worth and then some. Parking. Abundant. Can be dark in some areas - may need your smart phone flashlight. Cleanliness - I'd bring my mom and she'd be proud. Bathrooms - yep, huge. I suggested they put 4-5 games in there if they run out of room in the main game room. Food/drinks - they sell a small assortment of snacks and drinks. I like the idea of allowing a relaxed atmosphere where the owners are all paranoid about the carpet and games. You get the idea they just want you to have fun. Games. Great assortment. High quality retro arcade games. You can tell many expert hours have been put into retiring and maintaining both the pinball and arcade machines. Pinball's range from brand new Sterns to older solid state. Oh yeah, ALL games are on free play. Hey, sorry I went long but new business need thorough comments. read more

This place is such a gem. Instantly feels like a throwback to your local arcade from the 80's. Such a great selection of retro games but even more so an impressive selection of pinball games from old to new. The art on the walls add to the wow factor of the whole place as well and it shows how enthusiastic the owners of this place must be for arcades. Wish there was one of these dope arcades in my area. read more

Definitely a rare gem for the area and just a few minutes from Beaumont. Took four kids ages 6-8, Grandma, and my Wife and I for a little birthday celebration. All of the vintage old-school quarter games like PackMan, Donkey Kong, Centipede, and all of the pinball machines plus more!!! The staff was great, the arcade was clean and all for a reasonable flat rate. Just walk up to any machine and press start and you're ready to go! We'll definitely be back! Thank you Retrovolt Arcade for being close to home!!! read more

Minimum of 2 people for each team. I think it's up to 4 different teams. Ages 3+. We did 2 rounds. The staff there were helpful, accommodating and friendly. The arcade area is a bit small.

Man, I gotta say this place surprised me in a good way. Empire Bowl feels modern and clean, but at…read morethe same time it has that early 2000s bowling alley vibe that a lot of spots lost when they tried to get too fancy. The lights, arcade machines, and the whole setup just hit that sweet spot where it feels fun and nostalgic but still updated. The lanes were in great shape, scoring screens worked perfectly, and the arcade area actually had games people want to play. It's the kind of place where you can bowl a few games, grab some snacks, mess around in the arcade, and just hang out without it feeling dead or outdated. The atmosphere is lively without being chaotic. Honestly, this is what a 5-star bowling alley should be, good lanes, good lighting, fun arcade, decent food, and a vibe where you actually want to stay longer than one game. And I'm just gonna say it... way better than Bowlero. Bowlero feels overpriced and corporate, like they tried to turn bowling into a nightclub. Empire Bowl just keeps it real and actually focuses on making bowling fun. Definitely coming back.

Last year, he wanted to have his birthday party there with 10+ players. My boyfriend contacted Devin, the owner, regarding pricing for the event. We were all very happy with the price and time and experience. We were able to bring our own food and decor and because our party was so large, we had the whole floor to our own party. I do struggle with vertigo and sometimes certain visual experiences (VR, 3D videos, and certain screens on rides) can make me nauseous and feel like I will pass out, so I did need to take a break during the last shooting game due to dizziness. That was no problem at all because I got to enjoy watching my friends run around and play while I enjoyed some food. Devin has cultivated such a safe and enjoyable space. You can tell he loves what he does at Noobs. We will be back, introducing more and more people to this amazing experience!

Second Street Cinema in Beaumont is a great small-town theater that's super convenient if you live…read morenearby. I purchased my tickets through Fandango, which made the process quick and easy. We went to see The Mandalorian and Grogu during a matinee, and I was expecting it to be crowded, but it turned out to be pretty relaxed. Matinee tickets were $12.95 each, which felt reasonable. They also offer IMAX, but at $25 per person, it felt a bit too pricey for me. Inside, I noticed about five staff members, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and provided good customer service. The theater itself was clean, and the recliner seats were comfortable and in good condition, which made the experience more enjoyable. The concession stand was well stocked, though prices were on the higher side--but that's pretty standard for most movie theaters. Overall, it's a clean, comfortable, and convenient local spot to catch a movie without having to travel far.

They were extremely slow at the concession counter and didn't have the proper staffing or training to access their credit card terminal. They accused us of a declined card in front of everyone when their machine was glitching!!! The attendant who helped us apologized for the problem with their Credit Card terminal but the manager told her not too? Wow! She was younger but that's no excuse for her behavior, regardless she clearly had no training for customer service. She was dressed inappropriately and has zero people skills. When I asked this "manager" her name she refused to provide it. Clearly this was not the first time this occurred. Additionally, she accused another customer of stealing his drink after he paid for it when the attendant handed it to him. We witnessed this too! It was quite a scene. Who are these ppl?? She was not professional and not a good look all around for the establishment. It's too bad because the theater is nice. We won't be back till they get better people working there. Horrible experience! She should be fired for this! Unacceptable to accuse your patrons for their own failure!

For a party, it's very much like renting a private park, but you have access to bathrooms, electricity, the animals, etc. Peggy was so helpful and knowledgeable. I really couldn't have done it without her help, and I felt the cost was very reasonable. For science camp, their teacher, Lisa, is fabulous and also taught my other daughter back when my now-freshman was in preschool. They did so many fun, age-appropriate activities and she was always so tired out from all the playing. We will certainly be back again.

It was the only place near us showing the Short Film Nominees for Oscars. We watched the Animated Shorts which was the top 5 internationally and 1 bonus film.

We sat next to some lively seniors who kept us laughing with their commentary during the previews. If you plan to go see the Animated Shorts, be aware two are not appropriate for younger viewers due to themes (the last two and they give you a warning beforehand) We knew we'd like the Harkins because we are regulars at the one in Chino, but tahdah!

The food was especially good, I usually have low expectations for bar food but the pretzels and beer cheese were SOOOO good and we got a turkey club which was their Saturday special. On the menu are burgers, sandwiches, grilled cheese, and more - along with tasty appetizers ranging from cheese curds to fried ravioli. I noticed the bar also had some candy and chips behind it. Their homemade potato chips are to die for. There's a wide variety of drinks and beer on tap. The pool table was great too (cash only to play). There is also an ATM inside. We felt comfortable, had fun, and look forward to coming back!

Casa Solano Orchards is a spot we added to our list of "must do's" when we come to the area again. It's owned and operated from their own family home. The cider options were all delicious, the family made you feel so welcome and happy you were there. There was so much room to hangout & grab a drink! Dont miss the seats by the creek or balcony seating! There is truly no bad spot. They had music playing, a childs playground, yard games, orchards to walk through and pick during the season... we will absolutely be back!

The orchard was beautiful and had lots of fruit to pick. They had a couple of different varieties available, some that were really sweet. Right when we got there, we were greeted by friendly staff. Apparently they're known for their ciders, I think specifically the hard ciders. We got the flight and my favorite was the guamica, guava flavor. It was amazing ! They also have non alcoholic drinks available and a bbq vendor there. Great for a nice meal. I really liked the place even though it was a smaller orchard because I feel like it embodies what I'm looking for when I go to an apple orchard. It's immersive and nature-y with such great vibes. It was quiet, bright, and peaceful. Everywhere else I stopped by was WAY overcrowded and stressful, but not here. It's family owned and it had that personal touch. We had a chance to speak with the owner, and he knew so much about apples and was so friendly. This place was definitely my highlight of Oak Glen and I'm looking forward to go back.

The…read morecheaper ticket prices are honestly worth it if you're not too picky about the more "boujee" seating you get at other theaters. You definitely get what you pay for, and the pricing makes it a good option, especially for families or bigger groups just looking to see a movie without spending a lot. The seats aren't reclining, but they are comfortable. They are on the narrow side though, and they automatically fold up. That actually made it a bit tricky for my 6-year-old since she's light enough that the seat would fold back up on her. I had to grab a booster just to add some weight so it would stay down, which was kind of annoying. Food prices are what you'd expect for a movie theater. They only have Pepsi products, and the only energy drink option was Celsius. Customer service felt pretty cold, like employees weren't exactly happy to be there, which stood out. I got nachos, and they're served in what looks like a hot dog box. They load chips into both sides and give you one container of cheese, which wasn't my favorite setup. The tray itself also felt a bit flimsy, so I had to hold both ends to keep it from folding. The pretzel was a good size, but they now charge extra for dips, which was new for us since we hadn't been charged for a first dip before. On the positive side, they had a lot of Icee flavors, which the kids really enjoyed. The theater itself was clean, which I appreciated, and the soda had a good amount of fizz. The snack line can get pretty long, so it's worth arriving early if you plan on buying food.
