"I would never expect to find a place like this in Rock Hill. We came for a friend's birthday and had a great time. It's kind of hard to find. The address is on Main Street, but it's not really right on Main Street. It's down on the side of a building. It would help if they put a sign on Main Street directing you where it was. There's a free parking garage near by.It's 21+ only and they check ids at the door. There's a $5 cover, cash and card are both accepted. Once you're inside, all arcade games and pinball machines are set to free play and you can play as long as you like.There a large patio area as well, but it was a little cold right now. They layout inside isn't great. It's very cramped and hard to get around. There's some tables to sit at and eat, but they're awkwardly placed because they're in the way of the games.They have a pretty good number of games. Pinball is my favorite and they had six machines I believe. They have a decent drink selection as well as a small food menu with pretty standard bar food. We got the bacon cheese fries and the cinnamon sugar fries. The bacon cheese fries were good--pretty standard with a nice crispy fry. The cinnamon sugar fries needed an icing to dip them in. The only thing I did not like was how loud the music was. It felt like you were at a club and you couldn't talk to anyone. I'd be interested to come earlier in the day and see if it has a more laid back vibe. I really liked the concept of this place. All of the arcade bars in Charlotte tend toward free to get in and then you have to pay for games like pinball. I'd way rather just pay $5 to get in and then not have to worry about it. I'd definitely come back here, but probably during the day when there's a better chance of normal volume music."

"Excellent BLT sandwich. Very good counter service. This place is a throwback to the 60s. I enjoyed going here."
