Vatche Arabian

Affordable drinks and a great selection of arcade games in mostly working order.

David Sequeira

Beer selection is disappointing, but where that is lacking, they make up for with arcade games and SKEE-BALL!!! Arcade selection is not as diverse as i was hoping, but they have SKEE BALL , & its FREE!

Kyle Bunch

A new addition for 2012. Perfect for those times when you're wandering down Sixth Street with a strong hankering for a beer and some Ms. Pac-Man.

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Cheap $2 beer and tequila on draft ! All fun and games!

Amy Robertson

Front room is loud and annoying. The back room has a bunch of really nice vintage games like teenage mutant ninja turtles

Jamie Locklin

Great service with friendly staff and fun games!

Khaleesy Snowden

Nothing is good here. The bartenders ignored me and my friend. Stayed on their phones the entire time. It took them 15 minutes to notice us. I was a bartender downtown before and this is unacceptable.

Todd Binion

When all the lights are turned on and the music stops, that is their subtle way of asking you to leave.

Sven Johnson

Pinball machines in great shape and CLEAN .

Alexander

Donatello doesn't work :-( and on MVC2 you can't jump on left side and kicks don't work on right. But its fun!

Adam Atiqullah

For some reason all the hottest asian women in Austin come here. How's that for a tip?

Andrea Sofia

New favorite bar on Dirty Six. They have Deep Eddys on tap !

Michael Peters

Free games are a draw but a lot of them are not functioning completely. Broken buttons & dead pinball paddles.

Jay Hartwig

Beers , booze, and Buck Hunter HD!

Rachel Youens

The scoring mechanism on the two skiball machines is really screwed up. If you're trying to compete, use the same machine.

Taylor McKnight

Free skeeball with white balls instead of ol dingy brown ones!

Dave

Drake sometimes hangs out here after hours

Beatriz Spicer

Chicas in my life

Brooke Samaniego

Cool games bro

Ryan Mc Donald

Forget this place. In the 20 min we were here they decided to raise the price of happy hour ?! #f*ckthatnoise

Melissa H

It's like a more ghetto Kung Fu Saloon.

Ashlee Reyes

I feel like I'm in elementary school lmao

CentralTexas RoadRelics

This is one of the worst bars I've ever been to. The games really really really suck!

Andrew Berry

Many machines were broken, or had broken controls. Disappointed.

Ryan Mc Donald

10 dollar minimum == don't go here

Michael Venzke

Awful place. Don't go!!!! Bouncers are complete sicks.

Constance Nicole

Gross. Sticky & Dirty

Ryan Kirk
