    I love round one! I feel like I always catch something on the claws, and their games have pretty fair ticket payouts. It's definitely one of my favorite places to go, and my two year old loves it too! The service at the bar/when getting snacks could be a lot better; I've been the only person standing up there for 10 minutes without getting service before. Also, if you're thinking about renting a room for a birthday party I suggest not doing that. We spent a lot to rent a room for a couple hours and it was impossible to do cake, presents, and play games. I'd suggest going somewhere else, like Fujis, and then coming here afterwards.

    Having been to Round 1's in Japan, the US versions are a lot different. Japan's one are busy and buzzing with people & located in busy areas with plenty of foot traffic. This location is by the shopping center and that was quite void of foot traffic. This visit was busier than past visits, probably because it was Spring Break week and also an evening visit. There were people bowling and a number of people playing games---quite busy for a weeknight. There are a variety of machines, the rows claw machines are most in the front as you walk in and the other arcade games are in the back--rhythm/musical instrument games, dancing type games, basketball, driving, air hockey. It's definitely busier towards the back than the rows and rows of claw games. We spent most of our time playing the rhythm games, so there were no tickets to win or redeem and I cannot comment on that experience nor can I comment about the food. The place was bright, well lit and easy to navigate throughout the game center. All in all I had a good time and my visit was positive. It's a great place just to have some fun.

    I attended a post-conference happy hour and networking event at Round1 Eugene last weekend. It's been a very long time since I've visited any fun zone establishments like this, but the conference provided the perfect excuse to let loose and have some fun. We were immediately confronted with chaos in the food service area when we checked in for the happy hour. Diners are required to place their order at a kiosk, then wait for their number to be called. However, two of the three kiosks were out of order resulting in unnecessary confusion and a lengthy line. There were unfortunately problems on the game floor as well. A high percentage of the games were out of service, creating higher demand for popular attractions. As is customary with family fun centers, each of the games award patrons electronic tickets or physical tokens and cards that can be redeemed for prizes in the gift shop. Perhaps the most frustrating problem encountered at Round1 is that there is only one kiosk to redeem rewards, which results is an inordinate wait time to complete the necessary transaction. I was determined to collect my rewards, so I waited over 45 minutes as the three people in front of me each cashed out. The kiosk jammed up three times during the wait, and each time an attendant was called. It seems Round1 has cut corners in every way possible, as well as disincentivized patrons from redeeming their rewards. Their staff are overworked due to being constantly beckoned by unhappy customers frustrated by the the entire process. I wasn't a happy customer, I was surrounded by other unhappy customers, and I don't see how this chaotic system is sustainable. Visit Round1 at your own risk.

    Their Gitadora setup is awesome!

    Contrary to many of the negatives, I suppose the combination of my timing (early mornings/afternoons) and my few targets while on vacation enabled optimal fun times on my end. Before ending up at the Gitadora section, I took a stroll around to scope out the area for full vibe check. I've been to my local one here in Tukwila, WA pretty often so I'm likely comparing it to that. First off, many small & subtle details I like better. The lighting design plus a rather brighter carpet helps exude a pleasantly ambient lit floor area contrasted against the dark ceiling. This helps illuminate all the eye-level eye-candy, if you get my drift. The bathrooms were super clean, as well, which makes Tukwila look embarrassing. The dining & bowling areas were low-key, airy and seemed nice. Now ending up at my final destination: Gitadora. Yooo, dude! Again, I can't help it but this puts Tukwila to shame. Tukwila is good but this is _really_ good. Both the guitar & drum games have extra "bells & whistles" for that closer to stage/studio feeling. Great sound, too. I had a short vacation in town last month and this was one of my favorite spots, even if just 1-2 hours and a nice walk from downtown, to boot. Thumbs up! Cheers.

    Sonic all stars Basketball arcade game

    I really enjoy round1 as a late night place for activities. There claw machines, arcade machines, bowling, pool, ping pong, food, and dessert. The best value attraction for me is the sonic all stars machine which lets you play up to 4 stages of basketball if you're good at it. Over 2 minutes of basketball for about 6 or 7 credits. Staff to help get my card was seamless with not too long of a wait in line. Pros: - fun games - late hours - cheap ice cream - variety in activities Cons: - pricey games - occasional broken machine

    Here are some dirty carpet stains pretty nasty

    I love this place. You can do just about anything that your heart desires. You could sing in a room with your friends to hit songs and karaoke the night away. You could also bowl until your arm falls off. You want some alcoholic adult drinks well, they offer plenty. They're pretty damn expensive, but hey, when you're out things usually are Help is pretty good at counters for food and beverage, but could be a little better little bit more attentive little bit more engaging smile More maybe but I'll still come back here. This is a great place for fun with my kids. One thing I've noticed here over the last couple visits is their carpet is getting very disgusting. I mean like level breaking violation disgusting are some.

    Their rhythm game section is the best in my opinion, having acclaimed games such as Sound Vortex, Project Diva, and the latest Dance Dance Revolution.

    Had a fun time here for my daughter's birthday. We went at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon and it was…read morebusy but we got a lane right away. We had five kids bowling so we only got one lane. There were high-backed couches (booths?) so it was pretty private since no one was in the lane next to us. They can put the bumpers up or down for each player, which makes it more fun for all. We got some snacks for the kids (standard bowling alley food) that they enjoyed and came out quickly. I think the prices were pretty reasonable overall compared to other places in Eugene. They can get very busy so it can be hit or miss, especially on a weekend evening. I think I'll have to bring the little kids again soon since they had so much fun.

And yet... once it got busy, some random entitled customers came in and started bickering with and complaining about the same guy and holding up the whole line behind them. Idk, maybe he just matches the energy he gets. Like a human being. I've never had issues with anyone there, but I'm not a d*ck. Customer service workers still deserve respect. They don't get paid enough to get yelled at with a smile on their faces. Grow up. It's a bowling alley.

Definitely not your typical bowling alley ambiance. Our group ordered a few different items and everyone was very pleased but I have to say the tots and sweet potato fries were the best!

There are only 8 lanes and they have these swanky leather couches to sit on for an awesome vibe that was great for an adults only play area. It's a small spot that left you feeling intimate while having fun. You order food and drinks from the bar and they deliver it to you at your lane. With over 20 taps there is something for everyone to drink and they have a full menu to choose from. It's bar food, burgers, wings, fries etc. But, the pizza is the hidden gem here. The wood fired pizza is so good. The crust is perfectly chewy and toothy, the cook fired it perfectly and it had the perfect crunchy crust. My wife was able to add Ricotta and roasted garlic from another pizza to the main pepperoni and she said it was fantastic. Me, I have a dairy free diet so I got the Veggie pizza without cheese. I was very surprised with crispy mushrooms and olive blend. The mushrooms were PNW mushrooms and had such an earthy aroma and flavor. The marinara was spicy too, it was just a perfect pizza. It just needed a garlic EVOO drizzle to tie it together. We will definitely be back, this has made it into our top 5 date night locations.
