Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition

My friends wanted to go and, truthfully, my expectations were low. I love video games, especially retro ones, but this Arcade Legacy doesn't have as many as the location in the mall and I'm not a big drinker so "bar" isn't enough to get me excited. I had a GREAT time! The atmosphere was fantastic, there were more games than I expected and the hot dog I had was very good! They had 8 to 10 pinball games, which is great, and even though you have to pay for them (most games are free if you buy food and/or drinks), they only cost 50 cents a play. Everyone there was very cool, and that means employees as well as customers. I can't wait to go back.

I love this place, great atmosphere, amazing Vintage and New Arcade games and Pinball, Very Friendly and Inviting Employee's, plus they also have awesome Drinks and Food! You gotta check this place out it you are around the Cincinnati Area

Amazing spot. Hot dogs, chili, and mac n cheese were all incredible, as well as inexpensive. Beers on tap were a mix of regional/local drafts and some more well known craft beers. Access to play a ton of arcade games and a large catalog of games across a variety of consoles including Nintendo 64, GameCube, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii amongst others. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Cincinatti in search of a great lunch/dinner experience with added fun.

The bartenders are always perfect examples of costumer service. Ever server I've met there has made me an outstanding drink. The ambiance is fun and chill and collects the greatest kind of people. The price is higher but worth every dime of what you pay. The games are fun and the door guy is extremely polite. Tip your bartender.

Such a fun place! It was a blast to be here. The atmosphere was great, the staff friendly, the drinks delicious, and the games fun. Great place to hang out and grab a drink!

A top notch experience every time. There are lots of fantastic classic games. Plenty of consoles set up to play and a wonderful selection of Pinball machines. The drinks prices are great and the staff is super friendly. This is a must visit.

An absolutely fantastic place, great location, wonderful selection of games, food and drinks are competitively priced, and the staff are friendly. I have sought out the best arcades in at least a half dozen states and this is my second favorite pinball location in the country, The Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas barely edging it out. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to have a great time. Much better than 16 Bit in every way, in my opinion 😉

We went for the first time last night and was really impressed! My Hubby is the gamer but I ended up joining in several too! From the moment We walked in the door We were greeted by a Friendly Employee! The drinks were great and not watered down like a typical bar which is a plus! Mixed crowd and comfortable atmosphere. Love the how the restrooms are decorated too! We will def be back!

Cool spot. Old school arcade games/console games were free, bartenders were nice and the nachos were legit.

Super fun place to go for something different on a Saturday night. The selection of games is great and it gets busy, but not overly crowded. The beer prices are reasonable. The nachos are DELICIOUS. The employees are friendly. Will definitely be back.

Upon arrival I was quickly noticed by a friendly member of staff who made us feel really welcome. The atmosphere of the bar was great and overall, the prices were great as well as all the video games available to be played. They have amazing drinks aswell. Will definitely go back soon.

Love this place. It has a great selection of beer and liquor, and then obviously a good amount of arcade games, pinball and also a couple of TVs with some old school Nintendo consoles in the back! They offer big gourmet hot dogs, but I can't couch for those because I've never got them. Though it's a bit small and if you go during peak hours there will be a crowd.

This place is a favorite of my family. The games are fun and free if you buy some of their delicious hot dogs or nachos. Sunday is family day. Kids aren't usually allowed the rest of the week. It's also a great place for a smaller birthday party.

Way better than 16 bit. The food is amazing as well. Try one of their fancy hot dogs. Trust me. Also they have specially sodas and energy drinks for the non drinkers like me, so don't feel like you have to down some booze to come here. The game selection is top notch. This is where the gamers go to game.

Great and friendly staff, lots of parking, great atmosphere and a lot of video games. I've been going to this bar for years now and none of that has changed, the drink list is great, good food and just in general a great way to spend a weekend night. If you are tired of how crowded OTR is but still want to go to a video game bar? You should be coming here!

Absolutely my favorite place to go play pinball. Pinball machines are always clean and working really well. Owner changes up the lineup often and keeps me always wanting to come back. Good beer. Can’t wait to get back there now that things are opening up.

A much more relaxed atmosphere than some other similar bars. Feels like its a little more about the games than just having the arcade aesthetic and alcohol. The bartender, Dom is wonderful too. I dont really go to bars but i always feel welcome and comfortable here.

Great craft beer select. Haven't had their hot dogs yet, but everyone raves about them. The kitchen is open until 1am, so that's amazing. Great selection of arcade games and console games. Live DJ most weekends nights.

SHE'S GONE BOYS !!!
😓😓😓😓😓😓
Cool little place to play games ! Nice selection of pinball machines and the classic arcade games we grew up with. Reasonable beer prices. They serve food, but I've never eaten there.

Great bar if you're into old school arcade games and pin ball. The drinks are reasonably priced and the arcade games are free as long as you buy something from the bar. Also the staff is really friendly. Good place to go for a cheap date or just for fun and retro vibes.
