The Burl Arcade

I never leave the Burl without a shot and a game of skee-ball! Such a fun place for a date or going out with friends.

Their pinball selection is very sad and most of them are inoperable. The bar itself is very average, and parking isn't terrible to find. Wish the pinball selection was better and more well maintained!

My husband and I went here for a date. It's a cheap way to pass time and have fun. Lots of retro games and pinball machines. Staff was polite and were able to break change for us. There's an ATM inside as well to withdraw money and another to get coins for the games. The only downside is that several of the games eat your coins. It doubles as a bar, but it is pretty kid friendly before 8pm.

What can I say, you play video games and drink the local spirits of the distillery across the street "pepper distillery". Trivia night on WED friendly staff great old Visio games, quarters needed ‍

REVIEW FOR KISMET: Went on Sunday night around 9:30pm for a late dinner. Waited a bit for service but the guy who helped us was friendly. Waited about 20 minutes for food so we got drinks--I got lemonade (which the bartender said she rarely makes) and my partner got a beer. Food was sooo good! Strangely good for a late Sunday night dinner but I'm glad we went. I had the garlic noodles with pork belly (a bit crunchier than I expected) and my partner got the Cubano which was amazing. I wasn't a fan of the Kismet Cookie--crunchy cookie with a lingering flavor I couldn't place. Try the food for yourself and play hit or miss with the dessert.

I don't even like video games and I love the Burl Arcade.I read about this place on Yelp a couple months ago, thought my husband would love it, bookmarked it, and finally surprised him with a brief trip to the Burl one weekend after a month ago.Easy to miss, the arcade is tucked away in an industrial area down near an overpass. Small parking lot between two buildings: one is the Burl (for music, etc.) and the other is the arcade. Inside, there is a bar (appeared fully stocked) near one end of the building. The other end of the building has a couple skeeball games, and a large wall of televisions playing old movies, along with a few televisions hooked up to old-school video games available for play. In between the two ends of the buildings are about 3 rows of old school arcade games. I've always enjoyed pinball, so I was delighted to see some pinball machines.Husband was in love with the place and promptly began to play. I thought it was neat. Our son was overwhelmed but really enjoyed the skeeball game (even though he didn't quite grasp it). Skeeball is $.25 per game, other games in the building are also priced low. You can easily come here for a drink, some games, and conversation any time of day. Definitely a great, nostalgic place to go.

So many cool retro arcade games!! Located right in the distillery district. Love the wall of TVs on the back wall with the fuzzy no signal sign as a form of art. I saw family's just letting their kids run wild - so I guess this is a good place to come and have the arcade games be your baby sitter. Also a fun place to come without kids like myself. I enjoy all the retro games especially the pac-man! Cool pinball games too!

What a fun place to pop into from time to time! Lots of old school arcade games and a bunch of pinball machines along with a few skee ball lanes and a big Connect 4 game. Adults and children were both there on a snowy winter Sunday afternoon which may be why it was only mildly busy. I'm not sure how the traffic is normally, though. They have what appears to be a fully stocked bar if you'd like to enjoy some beverages as you hang out and the games were pretty inexpensive at $0.25 to $0.50 to play. Of course, if you haven't brushed up on those old school video games, the replay costs add up quickly! Hahahaha!As always happens to games, some are out of order but with the number of games they had, only a couple were broken so that's not bad! Pretty cool place and definitely worth a visit if only for nostalgia's sake.

Fun atmosphere with games for a quarter and reasonably priced drinks. Nice to walk between bar and arcade too.

Ambiance was spectacular, some of the games didn't work. There was a good vibe nonetheless and they had great music playing!
