Ace's Breakaway and Play

If you work downtown and you enjoy pinball or arcade games, you should definitely stop in on your lunch break or after work! My department has come down here together to take a break from the work day and it's always a fun time!They have a variety of games from first-person shooter games to chance games for tickets. I usually only go to play the pinball machines. It may be the best deal around for pinball. While the newer games are still $1 to play, you get 5 balls instead of the typical 3!The staff is friendly and I've never been here when it's crowded.

Small arcade, lacks selection and many of games that my kids were interested in were more expensive in long run va the pay per time concept. Won't go back.

Stopped in here on a random Sunday afternoon wandering around Pittsburgh. While the shop wasn't too crowded due to the rainy weather outside, the staff was friendly and not over-bearing as they let us wander around checking out the variety of arcade games, pinball machines, and carnival-style games (skeeball, etc.)I would recommend you to bring cash (small bills preferably) in order to get change from the machine to play the games. These are great old-school arcade games (donkey kong, pacman, etc) as well as many pinball machines as well as skeeball. I will say that your money will last here far longer than it would at a comparable type venue like Dave and Busters or Chuck E Cheese. A couple quarters here, a few there, and we had passed over an hour of time. And we even had coupons to trade in for prizes at the end!I will say that while it may not look like much, if you manage your expectations this can be a great little hangout spot to pass the time, have some fun, feed your competitive spirit, and not break the bank.
