That’s a wrap on our March event! 🥳
Huge thanks to everyone who came along. We really appreciate you spending time in the arcade with us 🥰
Machines are off for a well-earned rest while we get stuck into repairs. We're back April 10–12 so keep practising those high scores!

Another fantastic sold out evening! The scores were flying, the banter was brilliant, and it was amazing hearing your arcade memories 🥰 or welcoming some of you for your very first arcade visit. 🕹️
One of the best parts of what we do is hearing about your nostalgic memories 👏

🔧 Monday Maintenance
Took a look at the outgassed DMD on our Street Fighter II pin 👀
Tried a swap with our Gladiators display, somehow worse!
Turned out to be a dodgy ground on the pins.
Quick fix? A cheeky jump wire
Back up and running 💪
Colour DMD upgrade coming soon!

📣🚨 NEW PINBALL ALERT!

The wait is over… say hello to our 1993 Gottlieb Street Fighter II pinball 👏

We actually picked this up before Christmas right before loads of you started asking for it strangely 😅

Keeping it secret hasn’t been easy! Who's excited to play 6-8 March?

Who's a fan of ATARI Missle Command from 1980? 🚀🎯

This is one of our favorite machines on the floor for sure. That beautiful wood grain, the cone buttons with trackball controls, and the ability to just sit and chill over a good game with a friend 🥰 gotta love a good cocktail

4 pints deep and unlocking Godzilla multiball! 🍻💥

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL 🕹️🥵

Honestly we get to play the odd game in the arcade at the same time you guys do at our events 🫣

It's all testing, fixing, researching, moving and breaking most of the time in arcade land. 🤣
