In order to kill time away from our parents, during a visit, my brother and I went here. We had a good time, although it wasn't quite what we expected. Most of the arcade machines are are somehow illicitly imported from Japan (They often say this machine must not be used outside of Japan). But they are mostly music or dancing games. They do have regular console games that you can use, so eventually we two spent like 3 hours playing Mario Kart on the store's Nintendo! It was fun!

The blue and amber colored options were my favorites; the yellow less so. They had a variety of beer and cocktail selections.

The staff was friendly and informed me that that they host different game nights, every day of the week. The prices were on bar with other bars in the area. You'll have to find street or deck parking -- both cost, depending on the time of day. Overall, a pretty cool experience with one of the first e-sports bars in the triangle area. Will definitely come back to check out the other drinks and other gaming systems.

Our kids had a blast and we were able to go down the slides with our 1yr old. Great place for them to burn energy. We only ordered drinks and mozzarella sticks so i cant speak for the whole menu , but what we ordered was good. Only thing i didn't see was any of the staff disinfecting the gokarts, arcade/vr area, bumpercars, or play area.

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Came here recently and had an OK time!…read more First, the game selection was decent, with a good variety of classic arcade games, fighting games, and pinball machines. That being said, I would have appreciated games like skee ball, basketball, etc. Also, the games do cost tokens, which is fair enough, but it was a little frustrating that a couple of the machines I tried out weren't well maintained. In both cases, the joysticks were wonky and certain directions didn't work very well. Of course, there's a bar as well, but I ended up just playing the games. It looked like there was a pretty decent selection of beer and liquor, which is nice. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, and it may be the best arcade in Chapel Hill (not sure!) but I think you can find better arcade experiences in Raleigh / Durham.

The Baxter had a solid beer selection, though the game selection felt a bit limited compared to other barcades.

Overall, it was a fun stop and worth checking out, even if it wouldn't be my first pick for a barcade.

Only criticism - they charged me $89.00 for two of us versus the special rate.

There were definitely some I liked more than other but everything was quite tasty. I tried the Off Main, Upside Down, and Sweet Carolina. I should have gotten some cans or growlers to take home but will try to do that next time. I want to come back to try the Bludacris! Thanks to the bartenders for being so knowledgeable and friendly.

Also, they are not stingy with their sampling - which is so cool. They have a game room off to the right of the entrance for those who wish to get their game-on.

As…read moresoon as we walked in, we were ushered into our area (as long as you book an appointment and complete the waivers online ahead of time). I booked two people for 70 min each. The staff was very helpful and super into describing how things work and throughout the experience. The walls are padded for the possibility that you walk into them, which I did a couple times. You have a staff member also warn you if you're going to hit the wall or even the person you came with, which I also did. As for the game selection, there are popular games such as Among Us and the light saber to music. We asked for suggestions since there were so many options. Some you can play alone or some you can tag team with or play against the people you came with. In our 70 min session, we probably played 5 games, trying out a full round for each game. I suggest Battle Magic for the Harry Potter/wizard fans out there (don't forget to look up, down, and behind you!). Even if you're not into virtual reality or playing video games, I'm sure it would be interesting to watch as a spectator as you can see what the players are seeing on a TV. They have some light refreshments available for purchase. Merchandise is also available for purchase in a wide variety of sizes. Transactions were almost completely touchless. You can pay with the card used to book or you can pay with another method. I suggest wearing something comfortable as some games will have you bend and move around. If you have a longer session, wearing comfortable shoes as you will be standing a lot. You may experience a little dizziness during and after if you're not used to immersive experiences since it really is a whole world you're in. I save 5 stars for the really great experiences and this one is one of them!

We picked names like 'hero' which was cute but no one knew who I was until we were all screaming at each other our game names and forgetting Arrive a few minutes early so you get your full 30 min or whatever. There are disclaimers you sign. Etc. Listen to the rules and tips. In several games I was several minutes in before I figured out why I could not teleport or something. I should have listened better. It was fun though. My nephew had his birthday party here and said it was good. I would come here again.
