This place has gone downhill. Half of the arcades are not working, the rest are overpriced. It's clear that ownership doesn't care anymore. If you're going for the arcade, skip this establishment. read more

Good food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff and a lot to do. This doesn't deserve to be rated as high as it is for the food. Don't get me wrong the food is good, but it is standard bar fare and pizza. The cost is reasonable as well but the food alone isn't going to draw me back. The entertainment is the highlight here. Being able to play games, pool, pinball, and have a drink is the real draw. The decent food and good drinks at a reasonable price is what will bring me back. The food came out quick, the staff was friendly. You can order on your phone through a QR code at the table or wait for a server to come with menus. Overall a great place to hang and get a bite if you are in the mood for the basics. read more

The Control Room - Calzone - Pizza Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Looking for a bar with arcade games and pool in north eastern Colorado Springs? The Control Room is the place to be! They have games ranging from old school Pump (similar to DDR), basketball, air hockey, Pac Man, Galliga, pool, etc. all of which are in working order so that's awesome since a lot of bars with arcade games I have been to have seen some abuse and it shows. They also have an impressive drink menu and all the cocktails we ordered were made deliciously. I highly recommend the Long Island Ice Tea. Last but not least, our server was very personable and a delight. Thanks everyone at The Control Room! read more

Surprisingly killer food--a mac and cheese burger?? Yes, please. The music can be super aggravating and loud (it's a touch tunes, not their fault) but the games are super fun and the food is really, really good. read more

Cool place. A little overpriced but I get it, everything is expensive these days. A little chaotic feeling at moments with the games, and karaoke, and a pool table all at once but overall it was fine. read more

Always a good time at the control room, we have never tried the food but enjoyed the trivia and karaoke. One complaint, get more than one person that can close out a tab?? Waited 15 minutes for management. read more

I normally do not do online reviews but I had to this time. About 40 of us went here for a 20 year military reunion. The staff was amazing, they were very considerate and accommodating. The owner even came and talked with us for a while. What an amazing night. Thank you all for making our reunion a special event read more

This is a really fun arcade bar! They have a separate area to eat or drink and the rest is all games. Pac-Man, shooting, basketball, pool, you name it, it's all here! They also have atms and change machines, since all of the games are coin operated. Staff was really friendly and helpful during my time here. read more

Just left and what a lack luster experience for my first time at The Control Room. Not greeted upon entering, sat at the bar with no one behind the counter. Two - three minutes go by and a bartender finally appears and tells me she will be right with me. She then proceeds to talk to two patrons at the end of the bar for another several minutes while myself and one other couple who arrived the same time as myself - none of us had been helped. I gathered my things and walked out. No protest or apology from any staff. What a shit experience. read more

The Control Room - On top of their shit customer service, they could also stand to repaint their parking lines. - Pizza Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Great drinks,fun atmosphere and perfect place to hang out. They offer a variety of games as well as a pool table. They always have great specials on their drinks which is nice. We took our toddlers here earlier in the day and we all had a great time. We were able to enjoy ourselves while the kids had fun playing games. We've also come out on a date night as it's local to the area we live in. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

We went for the arcade, and it was very fun. All the machines worked and most of them were $.50 to play which is awesome. We didn't get to try the food, but next time we will. The ambience is super fun, we went in the daytime with kids. After 8 PM kids are not allowed. read more

The place is nice and the service is good. I just wish they maintained their games a little better. You can still play games start a quarter then it goes up. I think we pay up to $2.00 for some games but, there is enough variety for everyone to enjoy. read more

Patrick was absolutely amazing and so personable!! He was very attentive and kind as well

Came in for a couple spring break margaritas. The music was great and Sarah made perfect margaritas! Excellent service.

Killer place for old school stand up arcade games. Tons of pinball machines. It's fun for adults and kids alike!!!

Lots of fun games and the prices aren't bad either. Pool table is a little close to the door for my liking.

so much fun! best goodbye party ever! lots of fun and creative drinks! the pizza was delicious read more

Came here a few times but this Sunday it was packed! Granted they only had one bartender but she was killing it today! Alyssa was very attentative and made sure my glass was full and is super kind I'll be here again for sure read more

For a bar/ arcade with a minimal food menu, the food was very tasty! The Buffalo Mac was the perfect heat and cheese combo. The cocktails on tap were yummy. We didn't realize it was old school quarter- style, but that wasn't bad with an ATM and change machines easily accessible in the bar. Very fun! Would make for a fun date night. read more

Control Room has become me and my friends go to spot for a while now. The vibe is great, the karaoke is awesome, and of course the games are sick. Food is also great I love the jalapeño wonton's. I met the manager Barbi today and she was awesome and all the bartenders kill it. Especially Logan. read more

Great atmosphere, great retro arcade games, and still only a quarter! I highly recommend the wontons! read more

I understand policy and procedures. Your menu is online and the door is visible, but a reminder would have been nice. Our server informed us of policy and we apologized and asked if we could finish the beverages we had just ordered. She said yes. We rounded up our children and had them sit at the table. Another lady came to us to address the situation and also I understand policy, but we were not under the impression we had to rush through our drinks. But as soon as she left our table she went to the bar and can clearly see her speaking bad about us to someone at the bar. Just plain rude. read more

Howard hooked it up on the fries omg they are amazing! Pickled jalapeños and perfect bacon read more

The Control Room - Howard hooked it up again! Amazing fries! - Pizza Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The games bring an air of nostalgia, makes you feel like you're rummaging through your mother's couch try to find all the quarters you can excited to go play some arcade games, but the food felt like it was nuked in a microwave and the drinks tasted like rubbing alcohol with fruit juice. The karaoke was fun the service was good but definitely needs to up their drinks and food menu read more

It's bar food but delicious. The service was excellent. A little loud for conversations

A lot of fun playing the games that we popular when I was a kid! Didn't hurt that none of my coworkers could hang with me in street fighter 2. Hope was fantastic and super friendly! The manager Tom introduced himself and I had a great conversation with him. I'm not a hard core gamer but I will definitely be back also 77 is the score I set on basketball see if you can beat it! read more

I've tried coming here three times now since moving and the bartenders suck everytime. I kept thinking it was just a bad day but three times now. They literally like never come check on you and will walk right past your empty glass and not ask if you want another.... They need to hire people who know what they are doing or have better training. I walked in and waited 10 min before eventually just leaving and going to rhinos. Never again read more

So I take my 7 year old on for some fun and games. He puts on two quarters in one game at about same time and it doesn't register the second quarter. I talk to a guy at bar and he says 'well we don't help with user error but this time I'll give you the quarter.' I questioned user error - more that the machine just didn't catch both quarters He actually laughed out loud at me and said 'oh that is definitely user error!!' Simple thoughts. The customer is always right - and laughing in their face will get you a 1 star on yelp. I had another game 'eat two quarters and rather than go mess with the jerk at the bar I just left and decided to write this review. I've been putting quarters on machines like this since 1981 or so - when they were invented - and they have always been regular to ' eat ' quarters. So to laugh at a customer and blame their poorly functioning games on 'user error' is more than offensive - it's also just stupid and says "I want to squeeze every possible quarter out of customers even if they are a 7 old " rather than actually keep their machines working properly. In addition, they left tables dirty for a long time, games had controllers that didn't work, and not once did any server ask me to take any order the whole time I was there I'd never go back and suggest all take business elsewhere. read more

Great spot for a drink and some casual games. Staff is always top tier. My girlfriend and I went here for our first date, and we continue to go back often. She personally loves their chicken tenders and fries basket. read more

So glad I came to the place yesterday with my friends for a farewell. We had great food and amazing service from the bartender Hope who made great drinks and helped us out very nicely. Definitely will be back to this place. Thanks read more

Great food. Great drinks; try the dreamsicle frozen beverage. Most of the games work (95%+). I usually go when they're slow, which is nice.

Such fun time! Good food, drinks, atmosphere, and service! Perfect place for time with family or friends!

This is a cute idea. The food was decent. We ordered fries and some beer. The pretzel bites were yummy. The games are all quarters but a bit more than I'd want to pay to play them. I got used to one coin per game at other arcade/pizza places. It's a cute idea for people who want to get some quarter games in and have some decent bar food. Not really a place I'd frequent but glad I checked it out. read more

Super cool place! Great drinks, cool vibes and the games are really great. I'm not a big arcade person, but it was a good time! :)

Cool retro vide!! Recommended! Great service and good video games. Nice little bar area to hang out in. Let teens stay till 8 which is cool

Eric, Sammi, Alyssa, Jenny always make sure you're good and takes care of you! I love this place!

The games here are old school amazing, if you're born in the 80s/90s, you'll love this place. The challenge I see with this place is it's a dive bar disguised as more so the caliber of people you'll deal with depends. Karaoke nights most DJs could work on hyping up the crowd more instead of convincing the rest of us they can sing like it's an American Idol audition. Most the time the bartenders are good just depends on who you get for the night. The tables are often sticky which is crazy gross but then I realize that it's a dive bar. The menu is ok, most of the cooks are on point. I've been in during day & evenings, they're just never consistent. The owners should treat the staff better, the labor force is lacking skilled laborers right now so I suspect why there has always been a high turnover in staff. Games take quarters so bring some. read more

Just found out about this place. Wish I had know earlier. Great selection of pin ball, arcade, basketball, and skee ball. Arcade has some of the best classics, Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2. I take challengers. As well as some new additions like TMNT and Injustice. Full menu but I didn't get a chance to eat. Beer selection is good with also a full bar. Several frozen drinks, both alcoholic and non. Was told they have the NFL ticket. Which is amazing since almost no non-corporate do in town. Took my 5 year old to play PAC man and we had a blast. Highly suggest. read more
