Victory Pointe

We did go on one of the hottest days and I don't think there was any air conditioning and I definitely did their dance dance revolution game and sweat, but it was still wonderful. We took our boys to celebrate Father's Day here and everyone had a great time.

I love this place. Been going for years. It's changed - as things do. Especially after pandemmy. Good variety of games - mostly older and reasonable prices.

Calling all game lovers! Victory Pointe is the spot in Pittsburgh to play a huge range of games, all in one place. Classic and modern consoles, arcade favorites, pinball, tabletop, and/or virtual reality - if you want to try or enjoy a specific game style, you'll probably find that style here (either on their first floor or second floor level).Before you get started on your gaming adventures, you'll just want to visit their front desk and purchase a band or pass. They sell these on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis. While checking in, you can also grab a bottle opener, since this place is BYOB (though they do have some requirements and limits for this on their website). Once you have your band, you are good to go - no quarters are needed for these games!You'll also want to bring your sweet tooth - while Victory Pointe doesn't have a lunch or dinner menu, they do have ice cream. From single scoops to shakes and sundaes, there's plenty of treats to pick from (with a good bit of the shake menu named after various nerdy themes). Follow that up with a coffee, tea, or cold beverage as needed.If any of what I just said sounds cool, you'll definitely want to check out Victory Pointe. Just be patient while hunting for parking - it's worth it!

Arcade, ice cream, and fun? That's what Victory Pointe offers in the South Side of Pittsburgh. It's easy to miss, but once you know it's there, you won't want to miss it again. It has an old-school vibe with a giant collection of pinball machines and then newer games too!It's easily a place to visit by yourself or with a group of friends.FYI: alcohol is not served (but there are MILKSHAKES!)

Why have I never discovered this place before? You pay a reasonable amount of money to play arcade games for an hour unlimited. There's levels to the fun here...literally. Upstairs they have all the old consoles and that's included in the hour of play! I took a trip down memory lane while sipping a gourmet milkshake and enjoyed playing Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing and Wii Sports. Their library of video games is impressive. They also have VR but it was booked pretty solid. I don't know if was extra money but after checking out the VR room I would definitely come back to try out some of their games.

I went a while ago and it was really great! Good machine selection, explicitly LGBT safe, the staff were friendly and a comfortable amount of casually chatty & made me and my girlfriend feel very welcome. I really like their menu. I was sad they had to close their upper floor with the VR due to COVID but they still rock-- anyone looking for an arcade to go to, go here so they can make enough money to bring it back!

This place used to be pretty cool. I loved coming in, getting an all-day pass with my friend, getting great coffee, and then playing games all night. But just went to take another friend there for the first time, and they informed us that they no longer do the all day wristbands, and that everything is per hour. $7 per hour for arcade and console games, and then $11/half hour for the VR? Nah. It's just not worth it anymore. That's depressing for what used to be one of my favorite date spots in Pittsburgh, and now it's overpriced.

If you like video games, board games, or home game consoles you should check out this joint! We got the 1 hour band and played a bunch of Sega arcade machines. Then we got tokens to play a couple of the pinball machines. It was a great time! We ordered milkshakes which are AMAZING!!!! They have a full menu that we didn't try, but the chef is celiac, so she has a careful and extensive gfree menu! Plus, Victory Pointe is an accepting environment that makes it clear that all are welcome. I want to make sure that we give Victory Pointe as much business as we can.

On a rainy September afternoon, I wanted to take my little brother somewhere for the afternoon. A google search resulted in this place. So, we took the hour drive to Pittsburgh to check it out.We found the place rather easily, parked for free on the street since it was a Sunday, and quickly made the rainy walk across the street. We were greeted by a man, who easily recognized that this was our first time. He explained our options, and we opted to pay $15/each for unlimited gaming for the day. (You can a bracelet that denotes that you're a paid customer.) Not too shabby.We started with the pinball machines - of which there are so many. Moved on to some shooter games, Pac Man, and some old school fighting arcade games. The first floor is where the arcade games and ice cream/milkshake counter is. Then, we went upstairs where we found just about every video game system imaginable, a VR room, and a wall full of obscure board/card games. The upstairs room is a little strange at first, but you get over it quickly when you realize how much awesome stuff is on the 2nd floor.It became abundantly clear that this arcade is for the 20- or 30-something crowd. However, still lots of teenagers in the establishment, too. When it's your first time visiting like it was for us, it can be a little overwhelming and intimidating to walk around and check out all the options. However, the folks working there are nice enough to help you out with whatever you need.I was told I needed to get a milkshake while here, and I did. I got the peanut butter/banana shake and it was awesome. Overall, this seems like a wonderful place to spend a rainy weekend day. I think next time it would be more beneficial to visit with a group of my nerdy friends.

Victory Pointe has great games for a great price! I love the more vintage games like Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Galaga. They have a ton of pinball machines, Racing games, and more modern games too. The staff are super friendly, and it is clean and a great environment.
