Wow! Just spent a few hours with the kids at the Arcade Club and they loved the old school machines as much as I did. Really good value, a tuck shop, comfy sofa's and a licensed bar! Will be back with the lads and some beer money, lol Oooo sounds good! Is it open lates? My wife wants to go one night and spend the whole night playing retro games!

You'll both love it. We only spent about 3 hours in there (Still good value) because my eldest was getting tired (Typical) and we only played about 10 different machines of the 100 or so in there so you'll never get bored.

Just visited this place with nearbythiscafe ... was a lot better then I expected.... massive selection of games, cheap drinks and people seemed lovely. Pricing for admission was very reasonable ... only downside is that scary lift!! Thanks for telling us about this retrokevretro. Maybe a future meeting place for people on here?

Maybe a future meeting place for people on here? I was jealous enough when nearby sent me pics of the place, now you're suggesting a meet up!?! I will be truly green with envy if a bunch of you guys get to hang out there sometime!

That's an incredible selection they have there. I remember many of those games. I hope it lasts, there used to be a similar arcade like that here near where I live, but it closed only a few years ago.

I queued to get in even though it had been open most all of the day...so I think it will last. Since it only opens Friday,Saturday and Sunday they have really thought it out, no quiet days they have to make up for like middle of the week, like most arcades that open all week. Also they have a floor for over 18s which wasn't just retro games, they had gaming PCs and VR headsets. Absolutely amazing place!
