The guy behind the counter (I am horrible with names) knows a lot about a lot. Ask any questions. He can probably help. The prices are totally fair too. It's also as far as I can tell the only locally owned business in the Post Oak Mall.

Spent three hours in the arcade and had a great time. Went soon after opening on a holiday. There…read morewere a good number of games (30+?), and reasonable variety (e.g, pacman, zaxxon, 1943, golden ax, street fighter, simpsons, nba jam, some fighting games, a couple of racing games). The space was clean and not too loud, and though a handful of other customers showed up it didn't get crowded. Free play really reduces the frustration that many older games can cause, since I could just keep continuing. I don't know that I would want to return too soon because I beat most of the games I wanted to play, but I do look forward to returning sometime in the future.

I've been here a couple of times now and have had so much fun. They offer new and old games so…read moreanyone can find something they like. It's changed a bit since my 1st visit. They've expanded and have more seating space (parties) and have "breakout rooms" with different games. One of them had Dance Dance Revolution (for 2) which was nice. Made it more private. They also now offer beer (they only used to offer cider) which is a huge plus. The service was also great. The bartenders were friendly. I'll definitely be going again. Quick Tip: download the app. They give free admission for newbies and you can play games (on the app) to get puzzle pieces for free drinks/passes.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

Honestly, for a Dave and busters, I was so impressed that they had pasta and I was honestly also…read moresurprised at how good it was. It wasn't the traditional Alfredo with the cream but it wasn't bad! For a place in Texas that isn't known for pasta, I actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it was on par with any real Italian place, but I wouldn't sell it short. We sat by the bar, and there was around 50 people worth of seating by the bar and seats. They have a bunch of screens to watch every game you could think of. Football, soccer and UFC were all being shown. Otherwise, they have the games in the back, and I'm sure you can enjoy for a fun day or a date night. I don't usually go to Dave and busters for food, so I didn't know what they had on their menu. Otherwise, they had very drink you could think of.

Joystix is a pinball and arcade dealer with an incredible showroom full of both classic and modern…read moremachines. A lot of people think it's a public arcade. There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.

This place has all of these fun activities in one place. My kids and I enjoyed it. I guess it really depends on what activities that you want. We just went to the arcade and we also got to see the huge laser tag arena. They also sell fast food items and areas to throw a party. We will definitely be back to check out the bowling and laser tag. This is a loud place so don't expect some peace and quiet. Watch your kids because they can easily get lost in this huge place. The staff are friendly and fast. The parking lot is huge.
