Specifically, I would like an explanation of why a U.S. military ID was not accepted as a valid form of identification in this situation. Military IDs are issued by the federal government and require stricter verification to obtain than a standard driver's license. It is widely recognized for purposes such as boarding domestic flights through TSA checkpoints. Official TSA guidelines explicitly list U.S. Department of Defense IDs (including those for dependents) as acceptable forms of identification, even under REAL ID rules. If your policy differs from these federal standards and considers military IDs invalid, please explain the reasoning behind that decision, including any relevant company policy or legal basis. I was also served an alcoholic drink at the bar before this without being carded at all. The manager personally allowed this, and I have the receipt showing her name as proof. This inconsistency is a problem. Serving alcohol without verifying age/ID is a serious matter and more risky and problematic under law than simply declining a form of ID.

    The name comes from Pinky, one of the four ghosts in Pac-Man, the only female one, who has been in…read morelove with Pac-Man since 1980 and has gotten nothing back for it in forty-five years. The owner named his arcade after this ghost, which is either the most romantic thing a business owner has ever done or the most honest, and I've been unable to decide which since I left. The 80s are here the way the 80s are always here once you're old enough: not as decoration but as a low-grade persistent condition, the kind that flares up without warning in a grocery store when a song comes on that you haven't thought about since 1987 and then can't stop thinking about. The arcade cabinets are lined up along the walls, the kind that hummed and ate your quarters with no apology in 1984. They still hum. The quarters part is covered in the flat admission fee of either $15 an hour or $20 for a whole day of genuine nirvana, which is a more generous arrangement than the original decade ever offered. There are also two chandeliers for an elegant touch, a full ornate candelabra situation hanging above the consoles, which is either a design decision made with great confidence or a mistake that became load-bearing. Either way I respected it. I played Frogger. The frog died repeatedly, in the specific way things die when they commit at the wrong moment. I stood there longer than I planned. Henry, who is almost eight, played pinball at what I can only describe as an alarming rate. Not alarming in the sense of worry, alarming in the sense of watching someone do something faster and more confidently than the years they've had on earth would suggest. He worked through three machines in sequence, nudging each one at the right moment with the flat of his palm, the way men who've been doing this since the Reagan administration do it. I stood behind him and said nothing, which is a thing I do more and more as he gets older, because there is increasingly less to add. Pinky's Revenge moved recently from Taylors Mill to downtown Greer, forced out by South Carolina's new liquor liability laws and the fact that Taylors Mill has the ambiance of a place where people likely get killed on a rerun of Law & Order. The drink menu is fully canned, which is the correct delivery mechanism for a room like this. A PBR for three fifty next to Donkey Kong feels exactly right, and I say that as someone who also paid seven dollars for a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and did not regret it. The menu also carries Jolt Cola for five dollars, still advertising all the sugar and twice the caffeine, which was the entire value proposition of being seven in 1985. There is Capri Sun for two dollars and Yoo-hoo also for two dollars. I ordered both for the family without explanation because none was required. Clearly we had a thirst little could quench. The menu also lists THC seltzers, Rebel Rabbit, five or ten milligrams, eight dollars. The last time I was in a room like this it was 1988, a Putt-Putt Golf and Games off a highway in suburban south Anderson, and the most transgressive thing available was a second game token and a Mello Yello. A woman near the pinball machines was wearing jelly bracelets, the translucent kind, stacked to the elbow. She was in her forties. She beat the machine badly and walked away without looking back, which is the most 80s thing I have ever seen a person do in real life, and I was there for the original run.

The owner was there when we visited and was very warm and welcoming. We bought wristbands for unlimited arcade games for $15, which is a great deal considering how much you would spend at an arcade to play all day. We enjoyed classics like pac man, Mario, teken3, frogger, mortal combat, pinball, and many more. They also have ice cream and snacks for purchase, or you can walk to a variety restaurants nearby. This place will definitely be a repeat! Highly recommended!

    The chandeliers were a nice touch, if not completely contrary to the remainder of the decor. And by decor, I mean the 80s-themed entourage.
