a month agoDrinks are tasty and a reasonable price. They have a lot of games mostly older arcade games with a few newer ones. I loved the amount of multi-player arcade options as well as skiiball and a load of pin ball machines. We spent about 45 minutes here while waiting for our dinner reservation elsewhere and it was a great way to kill time.

3 months agoOur group of seven went to I/O Arcade Wednesday night after dinner. I've been to I/O a few times and I always enjoy it. It's a fairly large building with multiple spaces including the bar area, a table area and multiple game areas. They've got the classic arcade games I love like Ms. Pacman, Burger Time, and Dig Dug as well as a bunch of pinball machines and even skeet ball. The video games are only a quarter. Drinks are very reasonable and there are many beers and cocktails to choose from. This is a fun place to kick back and relax with friends and play some of your old favorites.

11 months agoOverall good place to meet friends, have some drinks, and play some games. Good variety of old and new games. Fun atmosphere; I would categorize it mor targeted to the adult crowds vs some retro arcades which are geared towards kids and adults. I would say the cost per game is high (4 x quarters to play 1 game of pinball) so it’s not necessarily a place you would spend a lot of time in given other retro arcades are either free games with drink purchases or a set cost to play all games unlimited.

11 months agoDefinitely a great place to hang out, play some classic games and get a good drink. Loving the modern but classic vibes. The variety and quality of games is good and same with the bar and bar menu. We will be back. It was busy when we visited, but the space is big that we never had to wait to play games.
