Tappers Arcade Bar

Tappers was nostalgia in a bottle. So many classic arcade games that instantly brought me back to my childhood. Games are free to play with a beverage purchase. Beverages have fun names related to various video games and pulp culture references. The layout of the facility is easy to navigate as the games are spaced out in a ring around the bar with custom wooden tables for your drinks between each machine. Impressive pulp culture references are airbrush painted on the walls. A killer lineup of new pinball machines in the backroom are waiting for you. While not included in the free play, they are a blast too with many different movie/show references. Plenty of seating if you get tired crushing it on Contra or Street Fighter II. There is a handicap accessible ramp to the pinball area and bathrooms were very nice. I suggest coming here after you have a meal elsewhere as they don't really have a full food menu and I'm guessing that if to keep the arcade machines from getting gross. Lastly upfront near the entrance, they have console based games including Super Nintendo N64. They even have some of the classic table top games like you would have seen in Pizza Hut from the 70s/80s. A great find here in Indy!

There are a few of these types of places popping up. This one is a phenomenal concept. They have some game systems set up with more contemporary games, a ton of old school, and then there is pinball. Sorry no Mappy as of the writing of this review. Beer? They got it. Plenty to chose from. Come by yourself. Come with friends. Whatever, but this place is top notch. Pinball is not free.

Drinks are good priced and good variety that does change. Games are all free except pinball machines. Been coming here for a while now and have a good experience every time. Great hangout place on a budget and 21+

So I don't know if they serve food but it's not needed here. Had about 45 mins to kill and this place is the spot. Game playing is free except for pinball playing. We enjoyed our time there it was a good vibe with friendly service. It's a spot I'll stop at again. " I'LL BE BACK" in my Arnold voice.

Great place for a couple of fun drinks and nostalgia gaming. 🍺 No kids. It's 21+ because it is a bar. 🍺 FYI arcade cabinet games are free, but pinball machines cost $1 🍺 Fun free games I especially like playing at Tappers: Galaga (1P, nostalgia) Castlevania (1P, tag team for morale) Gungeon (2P shooter) Frogger (1P, classic)
