    Taroko Sports - Mesa, AZ: Where Baseball Dreams Meet Arcade Realities (and 3 AM Regrets) Listen, in a world where most "sports entertainment" spots feel like glorified Chuck E. Cheese for adults who peaked in little league, Taroko Sports swings for the fences and actually connects. This Taiwanese import turned Mesa Riverview into a high-tech baseball playground that's part batting cage, part arcade fever dream, and all adrenaline. The star? Those futuristic batting cages with LCD pitchers staring you down like they're personally offended by your stance. Real-time stats, gamified scoring - you'll feel like a pro until you whiff on a 40 mph softball and remember you're just here for the vibes. Pitching cages let you play tic-tac-toe with your throws (genius), while mini bowling, electronic darts, 5D racing sims, and pop-a-shot basketball keep the non-baseball folks happy. Now 24/7 (because who doesn't crave a home run derby at dawn?), with that $14.99 unlimited overnight deal that's basically therapy for insomniacs. Grab pizza, wings, or fries to refuel - solid bar food that hits the spot without pretending to be gourmet. Wash it down while lounging on one of their big-screen TVs blasting live sports. The witty downside: It's credit-based, so costs add up faster than a bad inning if you're not careful. Crowds can get rowdy (hello, birthday parties and team outings), and if you're allergic to neon lights and victory dances, this might not be your jam. Verdict: 4.7 out of 5 baseballs. Taroko knocks it out of the park for families, date nights, or solo ego boosts. In the desert heat, this air-conditioned oasis is a grand slam - just bring your A-game (or at least a helmet).

    Had an amazing time at Taroko! There's so much this place has to offer for sport enthusiasts. I came during one of the special promotions for night play. The experience is very laid back, self directed. There's a lot of cages and things to do. There's a couple of places for basketball, mini bowling, and darts. It's not super busy at night, which made it really convenient to constantly be doing something. By the end of the evening, early AM, my back was sore and arms felt like they were jumping out of my body, but it was a great time!

    This place has potential, but our visit on opening weekend was riddled with issues. You have to sign a waiver to use the batting cages, and buy a plastic card to store credits on. I tried paying cash, but the girl at the counter told me they're a cashless venue. That seemed strange, considering they have self serve machines that accept cash, but whatever, no big deal for me. There are 10-12 batting cages. I think the fastest baseball machine is 70mph. There are three fast pitch softball machines. There are two machines that are both baseball and slow pitch softball. I think they'd be better suited swapping the roles, and having three dedicated slow pitch softball machines, and two multipurpose machines with baseball and fast pitch softball, but that's just my opinion based on observations at other batting cages. Of those dozen or so machines, at least three of them were "under maintenance," on opening weekend. The virtual pitcher on the screen is different to me, compared to just watching a machine. I didn't hate it, but it's definitely different from what I'm used to. All of the cages have two different sized bats, and an adjustable helmet. There are three pitching machines. My brother and I enjoyed them, while we were allowed to play. Before we left, two of the three were "under maintenance." There are four big basketball games, and four small basketball games. Two of the big machines, the screens weren't displaying anything, so hard to play. It also seemed the machines weren't linked together properly, so my brother and I couldn't compete head to head. We wanted to try the mini bowling, but all four lanes were "under maintenance." The dart boards looked interesting, but they keep the darts at the front desk. There was a line and only one girl working the counter, and at this point we were kinda turned off from all of the other inconveniences, so we decided to skip them. For those interested, there are also a few racing games, and couple shooting games, two air hockey tables, DDR, and a punching bag game. We didn't check out the food this time, because it wasn't clear where to order. Overall, this place definitely has potential, and it easily gains at least another star once they get the kinks worked. Batting cages in the AC during the summer, is a no brainer.

    Great spot for some casual, active fun. I took my little boy here for the batting cages and we both ended up having a blast. The cages are really cool--they use a video screen that shows a pitcher winding up before the ball comes out, which makes the timing feel a lot more realistic. You can choose the speed and whether you want baseball or softball. It's great for all skill levels, even beginners. They also have mini bowling, racing games with hydraulic seats that actually move with the game (super fun), and a few dart machines tucked in the back. There's a nice mix of activities so you can bounce around and keep things interesting. The staff was super friendly and even took a minute to help coach my son while he was hitting. It was a small thing but really appreciated--he came away feeling proud of himself and already wants to go back. Everything runs on a game card system where you load credits and just swipe to play, which makes it easy. The space was clean, not too crowded, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming. We'll definitely be back--it's a fun way to do something active that's different from the usual weekend plans.

    I have always been a big fan of arcades going back to my childhood. I grew up hanging out at them…read moreon the weekends in my high school and college days. I am enjoying the resurgence of arcade bars here in the Valley. Since moving to Mesa, I have been making stops here at Level One Arcade Bar. I love the chill vibe and their selection of classic arcade games. Games use tokens or quarters that you can get from the token machine. Level One Arcade Bar is a two-story venue and has a wide array of pinball machines and arcade games. They opened in 2019 in Downtown Mesa and have a Valley Metro light rail stop nearby. Each floor features its own bar with each of them having around 30 beers on tap. The second level has majority of the pinball machines. You will find me playing classics like 1943, Galaga, Mortal Combat, Tekken 3, Area 51, Mario Bros and Street Fighter. I am also a big pinball junkie. They have darts here at Level One and we have had fun playing them when I have come here with groups of friends. Check out the speakeasy behind the building if you want to hang out in a cool 20s vibe atmosphere with a cocktail. It is called Alchemy 48. Under 21 is permitted with a parent or guardian until 7pm and must by supervised. Happy Hour is 3pm - 7pm Monday to Friday.

    I had about an hour today before I needed to be somewhere and stopped in to check out the arcade…read morehere. They have HH here from 3-7pm and $1 off drafts. Bartender was nice and explained to me that the machines here take tokens. I got a pint of beer and then headed upstairs to play Ms Pac Man. I also made sure that this was the fast version Ms Pac Man as there is a regular version Ms Pac Man and I don't like that one. I scoped out the machine first before deciding to get a beer. The place was pretty empty when I came in and I was able to play two games of Ms Pac Man and enjoy my beer at the same time. They also put little side tables by the arcade, so you have a place to set down your drink as you play. Lots of old school video games here including Tetris and Dr Mario! I'd definitely come back again when I feel like playing a few rounds of my favorite arcade game! Parking available on the street, bathrooms located on both floors.
