Love it here. As a guy in my 30s reliving my childhood by playing arcade games is amazing fun. Time crisis 2 completed it mate. Kids had great fun too. Covers everything from 80s to vr

We went as a family of 8 on a rainy Sunday and it was very busy. Fortunately there are plenty of machines to have a go on over the 4 floors but we had to wait to go on the best ones.I’d love to give it 5 stars but the place needs a bit of TLC to bring it up to scratch. Some of the pin ball machines were very temperamental (I know they are very complex electromechanical and difficult to repair) and the chairs in the cafe area were very tatty - and it just needs a little more house keeping to make it more functional and comfortable.The food is good and reasonably priced BUT you are not allowed to bring in your own drinks which is unreasonable and forces you to buy at one of their own bars (nice little money earner)!Overall this did not distract from the day out which was great fun - we even played some games with other families! Great atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Amazing place to be if you enjoy video games especially retro games. There are 4 floors for you to enjoy I mostly enjoy going to the Third floor because of all the retro arcade machines you can play and theres a dining area on the third floor as well.Second floor has pinball machines, Japanese arcades and PC gaming.First floor has console gaming, ice hockey table and basketball and Ground floor has a snooker table and random arcade machines and merchandise store.I love coming here there so many things to do to keep you busy and have fun. Also there is free parking with no restrictions so you don't have to worry about getting a parking fine for staying in the car park which is good so you can stay in arcade club as long as you like.Entry fee- £17Absolutely 100% worth the price with the amount of activity you can do inside Arcade Club Bury.5 star out of 5.

Great atmosphere, not too loud or crowded and loads of games and machines to use over 4 floors. We've gone a few times over the past year. Only 10 min walk, if that, from the rock.

Great place to relive childhood memories! Lots of games to play. Could easily spend most of a day in there for both young and old! Was hoping to see a few more classics, but wasn't meant to be.

Me and my son visited the arcade at the weekend and had an absolutely brilliant time.I've previously visited the Arcade Club in Leeds and really wanted to try the one in Bury too, so we made the journey from Derby to visit.We arrived for opening and there was loads of free parking. When we left mid-afternoon there were people driving round looking for spaces, but this was a busy bank holiday Monday so it's probably to be expected.It was easy to find, although the front of the venue looks a bit run down and uninviting. There's rubbish all around, discarded wristbands, and general waste all around. The sign is a temporary banner. The entrance could do with tidying up and making it look bit nicer.When we entered we were blown away by the variety and sheer number of arcade machines. It's split across 4 floors and there's something for everyone. It was just insanely fun, a proper blast form the past with so many games to play.The atmosphere was great with people of all ages playing the games. There was always something to play even on a busy bank holiday Monday. We always got to play what we wanted even if it meant waiting a couple of minutes.All the staff were friendly and helpful.There's food available on the top floor which I brilliantly priced and tasty. I've photographed the menu and I'm sure you'll agree how reasonable the prices are. The pizzas were fresh and we got them quickly. We were given a buzzer which meant we could carry on playing games whilst it was prepared, but it only took about 10 minutes anyway.There's also bars on floors 2 and 3 which are great too.Having recently been to the Leeds Arcade Club can say that this is definitely bigger and has more machines. But there are a few things that Leeds have done better that would make the Bury site a 5 stars rather than 4:- Some TLC with the furniture and walls in the restaurant- Menu boards on the walls for food and drinks- Some machines were out of order and weren't being worked on. The Time Crisis 2 machine was completely missing a button. The junior Sonic basketball machine didn't work along with some others. We saw no issues like this in Leeds. In fairness this would be a small percent of the total machines, the overwhelming majority were perfect- In the Xbox and TV section there were some obviously broken controllers (Thumb sticks sideways) and TVs just not on in the couch gaming area- The exterior needs cleaning upThese issues do not detract from an amazing day out, do not be put off at all. This place contains hundreds of amazing arcade machines and we had a brilliant day out. Thank you for all the hard work in preserving arcade culture for the next generation.My only last feedback and request would be to open an Arcade Club in the Midlands ( Derby or Nottingham, you'd make a fortune!) so we don't have to drive so far to visit!Thank you so much Arcade Club for running this amazing establishment!Highly recommended for anyone who lives video games & arcades.

Went during October half term. We turned up at opening time and there was a line outside. It took around 30 minutes to get in as there was only one person taking payments. As expected, it was very very busy. The popular games you had to queue for but there was plenty of things to try that didn’t require waiting.We also had food, two pizzas and nachos and they were tasty and good value for money.We would definitely return but perhaps not during school holidays.

An amazing place to go to if you love old or quirky arcade games. There is so much to do and play on there, you will never get bored.The food and drink here is also very good value and tasty, so you get more time to play the games you want.
