Probably one of the best places to play modern pinballs. 7 or so modern machines including a Stranger Things and Rush when we visited. Staff very helpful! Also a great selection of craft beers!

Would absolutely return for Crazy Taxi alone! Decent couple of pints of Brewdog on tap, a great selection of canned beers and cider in the fridge also, and adverse to what other reviews have mentioned, we didn't find any shortage of tables to leave drinks on (though it is a little cosy so watch you don't knock them over!)Unfortunately, some negatives... The place was HOT, ridiculously so. The only cooling was a small portable air conditioner in the main room towards the back, and even that didn't feel like it was doing anything, we were sweating like crazy, and it wasn't busy at all! Also, having remembered the huge layout of the prior Four Leaf Clothing, I did expect the place to be a lot larger - It could definitely benefit from the use of this space to fit more machines in (it can't be an arcade without Soul Calibur and Marvel vs Capcom 2!)My final gripe is a small one, but would be that staff were promoting a Brewdog voucher which practically guaranteed you a free print each time you scanned the QR code on it, however after one of my friends scanned it, confirmed he'd won one (and entered his details to receive the confirmation by email), they then mentioned there'd been a lot of issues with the emails not being received, and wouldn't let it slide because he'd binned the original voucher. To be fair to them, I just hung on to mine and they let me have one based on the confirmation screen before entering my details. I know it's petty and otherwise the staff were okay, I just thought it was a bit daft they didn't mention this whilst handing them out.

Awesome little arcade bar, good range of arcade machines to try and a great selection of funky drinks available. Very reasonably priced, staff are friendly too.This place doesn't use tokens like other arcade bars I've been to, instead they use good old fashioned coins - which you can easily get from the bar with cashback.My only constructive criticism is there's not many places to put drinks down whilst playing games, a few small shelves could make a massive difference.

Pipers crisps, Cold pints, Pinball? Had me at crispsWent in for a pint after work and Brad was incredible, great tunes playing. Toy Story 4 pinball and point blank. Top notch. Hearing it’s the same owners from Fourleaf clothing is great too because I know it’s still a local family run business

Well, what can I say? It's an amazing first experience. Granted it was 23:50 on a Saturday and didn't expect much or even to be open, although to be greated by a brute of a bouncer" with a terrible attitude telling us very firmly with attitude they're closed. Was not a great experience. We didn't think it would be open

Place it self is great, games are okay some of them don't work but I assume that's sometimes possible if people play them all the time.Massive con is that kid at till. So rude to anyone that comes in. Tried to buy drinks put them literally next to him and he said put them Infront of him if we want to buy drinks and rest of our visit even though we're just playing games he kept threating us with bouncer outside. I think he has some personal ego issues against people who are just enjoying themselves?!? Fair play to bouncer he saw what was happening and just laughed with us about it, but it definitely have put us away from this place for good.My advice to owner is to replace this kid who worked tonight with someone who actually is interested in making profit for company.Go if you want to see shocking service but still enjoy childhood games. Don't go if you want to have a fun time reliving childhood.

I turned up this week with my friend and their kids for a birthday outing. Despite having booked in advance we got turned away at the door due to it being closed for a private party. Taking bookings when you already have a private party booked and are closed is unacceptable and unprofessional. The kids and myself where utterly disappointed. Ruined the day actually. We had planned our birthday around going to this place to play. Told by the guy that they'd been turning away advance bookings all afternoon for same reason. Apparently they are Incompetent. Will not be going back.

What a great little gem, full of nostalgic games and serves drinks alongside. Had a great time there and talking to the barman he was friendly and welcoming, great trip out!

We have had a booking for 2pm today, when we turned up, been greeted in a very unfriendly manner asking if we are the part of the private party from 2?!We’ve shown our rerervation to the guy at the front desk and his response was they are booked from 2-3pm for a private party, if we have a complaint, just do it. Which we will, and never visit again.
