Tappers Arcade Bar

Tappers is a great value, has a fun atmosphere, and offers a great variety of games. There has seemed to be a diverse age range of customers when we've visited too, which was fun. It can be difficult to find parking on busy nights--while we got lucky with a close spot on our last visit on a Friday evening, our friends had to search for a while and walk a bit. Games are free with the purchase of a drink, and I appreciate all the games have little tables to set your drinks while playing. I'd love to see more NA options on the menu in the future.

I can't believe I haven't done a review at Tappers! I've been coming here some I moved to Indy 5 years ago. What keeps me coming back is the great hospitality, the awesome events, and of course free games! Tappers is always throwing themed events with my favorite being their annual Halloween party. But they also have weekly trivia that's super fun. They have rotating drafts, a great cocktail list, and free games and awesome pinball machines. Tappers is a place where I genuinely feel like I can be myself without judgement.

The place is super cool! I was surprised they had a smash bros setup but also they have other consoles too. It's just a straight up bar though. I don't think I saw any food but definitely a fun place to go with the homies. The staff were really cool too. I definitely recommend visiting this spot!

This place was so fun!!!! Talk about a blast from the past. It was a great way to connect with your inner child while having something to drink. Best of both worlds!!! We will definitely be visiting again.

Tons of fun! The drinks seem a bit overpriced, but there's no entrance fee and all the games are free, so it evens out. Lots of video game options and plenty that have seating so you don't have to stand all night. Bartenders are very fun and helpful.

Great games & really great beer selections! Wine & slushies & liquor , too! Lots of games to play !

I have heard about this place for many years. I finally got visit it this weekend. I was blown away. There are SO MANY retro arcade games to play, and the best part is that the games are free to play!!!!!! We spent about 3 hours there and only played maybe 10% of the arcade games. I can not wait to go back and play more!!!! The music was great, the drinks were good. Craft beer, domestic beer, mixed drinks, and cocktails available. There was hand sanitizer everywhere, which was comforting. There were also coat racks throughout the establishment, which were all being used. Highly highly recommend this place for date night or for a night out with friends.

Drinks are good. Games are fun. Love all the pinball! Tappers is like a more chill and cooler 16bit.

Terrible drinks and service. Ordered an "old fashioned" - turns out it's a pre mix, okay that's fine except it tasted DISGUSTING. Bartender said she had to charge me, couldn't give me something else. Asked the manager and she still said no. I immediately closed my tab and will not be coming back. I understand if a customer does this more than once it's an issue, but we had ordered multiple drinks and planned on ordering multiple more. If you have disgusting pre-mixed drinks and someone asks for a different one after a single taste - give them something else. You just lost MORE money by being stubborn. GO TO 16 bit!!!!PS multiple games were busted as well...

Lots of nostalgic classic arcade games on free play. Great beer selection. Well staffed bar. Table tops for holding beer while playing.
