Great spot! $7 buys you 30 mins unlimited gaming in the arcade, which is about the right amount of time to spend. Plus the staff usually rounds up the timer to give you 5 to 10 bonus minutes. Friendly place, great game collection and feels clean and good to be inside. Only FYI to know is that the arcade is downstairs and I don't think any accessibility options -- though they have a couple games upstairs too so may still be able to accommodate.

Neat little video game store with a wide variety of retro gaming items. This review is for the arcade in the basement. They won't let you downstairs to view the arcade before paying. It's $10 for an hour and $15 for all day. I don't think anyone would spend over an hour here. There aren't enough games for that. If you go to their website you can see a list of games they have in the arcade.

This is a nice little spot. With both retro (NES is the oldest) and modern consoles, games and accessories to purchase upstairs, and a small arcade downstairs, this is a fun place to spend a few hours. The arcade downstairs isn't very well decorated, it basically looks like a concrete basement, but once you are playing the games, it doesn't matter anyhow! The games were mostly in good working order, although there were a few joystick maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. The whole area was pretty neat, with lots of nearby places to eat, so it's the total package. (Unless you're looking for Pinball - They don't have any Pinball tables)

I took my son here to meet with his best friend, and the two of them enjoyed playing these classic arcade games. Good prices and fun for all ages. It's clean there too.

Place looks amazing! Very clean and located in such an exciting area. Many shops all around. Walk down memory lane for sure. I am yet to visit the arcade downstairs. But guys, it has a freaking arcade downstairs! Check out the (many) pics I took.

Serious about keeping sanitized this clean and unique shop offers some classic console games upstairs with other fun Mario merchandise. Down into the basement looks like an old stone cellar. Once in the basement one finds many classic video games. Many of the real classics like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Road B’laster, Donkey Kong, Tron, and many more allow one to play at either the half hour rate ($7) or the full hour rate at ($10 per person).
Staff is friendly and the space is set up well for families or folks wanting to relive the glory days when a few quarters could get you a high score on Centipede.

Great spot in Claremont, Vintage Arcade is my best description of this place. It’s actually two floors with merch and new games on first floor and all the classics in the basement. We have been here several times and plan to come back.
