Bakersfield Arcade

Legitimately, My childhood wonder and joy has returned. Seeing an ad for this spot on instagram got me thinking, "I wonder how authentic and real this physical ticket and token arcade could add up to be?" So I checked it out and could not be more mesmerized. First question in my mind is, "Do I like the ambiance, or the decor?" I usually have a hard time figuring out which one I like more, the ambiance, or the decor. The games here are all genuine throwbacks from ski ball to the simpsons coin drop game, and, of course, a punching machine. Such a small and whimsical place should be heard about more. A good use of my quarters for sure!

Such a great time! Love the vintage games and all of the nostalgia! Had a blast, and can't wait to come back!

I love arcades and there are not enough of them. The owners and the arcade remind me of when I was a kid. While I was there I even got to play a game with the owners family, just like the owners of my old neighborhood arcade did.

Nothing works! every machine just takes your coins and it was a struggle to find it. Would not recommend at all literally a waste of time
