You know I really like the Recess Arcade Bar and our most recent visit was on Saturday 6/15/2019. Its such a cool & very fun atmosphere..with the bar, arcade games, and the awesome music playing. They also have plenty of seating, the restrooms are clean, and they have a few TVs hanging on the walls, which played the music videos of the music that was being played on our most recent visit. The only thing that messes with me is that I'm always tempted to shake something because of the great music they have playing while also playing Pac-Man & trying to do both is no bueno for me..I need to be super focused if I'm going to kick a$$ on PAC-Man ;). Seriously though Recess Arcade Bar for sure is a fun spot to hang out with with your peeps. -Rebecca our

What a cool place! Reminds me of a small Dave & Busters that's strictly for adults. You can either dance or drink and play games. The dance floor is a decent size. They had a dj and he played good chill music. They have a good size bar area. However, I didn't order a drink just played games. You can play classic games for $1.00, but that only pays for one round. You probably need at least $5.00-$10.00 to enjoy the games because they are over so quick. PAC Man is on a large screen which I never seen before. They have Jenga which is always fun and a basketball game among other games. Good times!
