No apologies there. -I was trying to book a birthday party and was told the whole date was available but we could only book by sending an email. -sent an email that day(May 22nd) the email to book a party but I got a response May 24th saying that date was booked and not offering any other time or day.

Back again! Saturday 5/23. As an ancient millennial who grew up on video games and arcades and can still hit Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A without hesitation, this place is tubular lol. I think they have that game too! Really great vibe; not overly chaotic, just people of all ages genuinely having a good time. Perfect spot to either pop in for a few games or stay and hang out awhile. Everything was clean, the game selection was solid and a perfect night for solo game playing - hello that's me! Also, shoutout to the girl at the front w the Star Wars sweatshirt. She complimented my Wu Tang shirt before I could compliment her fabulous sweatshirt and from that point I knew a RAD time, was about to be had ;). I hate that I forgot her name, but she was awesome and instantly made the place feel even cooler. The Force was no doubt with her! Had a genuinely great time and will definitely be back a 3rd time!! read more

Arcade Retro 92 in McKinney is such a blast--and it's perfectly located right next door to Comedy Arena, which makes it an easy add-on to a night out downtown. The front room hits you with pure nostalgia: classic vintage arcade games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong that instantly take you back. Head toward the back and the vibe shifts to newer arcade games and a great selection of pinball machines, so there's something for every generation. One of my favorite parts was the long walk of consoles where you can sit comfortably and play a wide variety of games--super relaxed, super fun, and great for hanging out instead of standing the whole time. It's $12 to play all day, which is such a steal, especially for how much there is to do. They also have a bar, free soda refills, and even hosted a whiskey tasting that night (we didn't partake, but it was a cool bonus event). It was pretty busy for a Friday night, but that just added to the energy. We had so much fun. Parking is a breeze with a garage right behind the building, making it easy to get in and out, and the corner location makes it super accessible. Definitely a must-visit if you're in downtown McKinney and love games, nostalgia, or just a fun night out. read more

Very small place with very limited games. It has all the classic Nintendo set ups, the modern switch games, pinball machines, killer queens, all the classics like Tetris and pac man. My husband and I were staying the night in McKinney and came over right at 10pm. They gave us half off since they were about to close which was unexpected. At 10:35, someone went around and started shutting down the games even though there were about 10ish people still hanging out and actively playing. Smaller than I expected and I'm glad we got half off, definitely not worth the full price. read more

So much fun! Most of the games were working. They have a nice selection of beer and cocktails in house. And they have a small food menu (of not amazing food). The games are well laid out on the floor and there is good variety. Staff is kind. Plenty of parking in the garage right by the building. read more

Arcade 92 - Interior - Arcades Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Came into the arcade expecting to just play a few games and ended up having one of the best experiences I've had at an arcade in a long time. One of the machines was having issues and these two techs fixed it up super fast, but what really stood out was how cool they were the entire time. They didn't just fix the game and walk away either they actually stayed and taught me how to play it better, explained mechanics/tips, and were genuinely excited about the game themselves. You can tell they actually care about the arcade and the people coming in. Both guys were super respectful, easy to talk to, and really informative without making it feel forced or awkward. Stuff like that honestly makes a place way more enjoyable to come back to. Huge respect to those two dudes for going above and beyond. Didn't catch the 2 gentleman's names but they made the experience so much better. read more

The staff are very friendly, it's sort when you take the kids there and they can play all day if they want to, especially during this summer season. Games are kind average from what the kids were telling me ( I don't play so I don't know those games). Food was about Average and the soda could use a little bit more of syrup as it tasted a bit bland, they gave me another drink but it's kinda same. Place is of average noise like what you expect in an arcade place . The only thing I Didn't like is I have to pay for myself as well even if I don't play and even if I order food I still have to pay the entrance fee. read more

The games were amazing! Food was delicious and prices were great, my 3 year old had an amazing time as well

Damn. This place is awesome. After parking to go to Foxii's restaurant right next door, we saw that this arcade was here. Didn't realize it as I hadn't been looking for one. After we ate, we went over to it and saw that you can play as long as you want, all day long, for $12. It was closer to 8pm or 9pm when we went over. Originally, my wife wasn't going to play and was just going to watch. Unfortunately, as you don't use tokens or coins, there can't be bystanders. So we paid $24 and we both got to play. The selection is pretty darn good. Front and center was Tron, which is one of my favorite arcade games. They had some old school cabinets, like Popeye and Road Runner (I haven't seen a Road Runner machine in 30 years). They had Moon Patrol, Dr. Mario, Galaga, Gauntlet, Simpson, TMNT, and so much more -- and that was just on the first floor. Down a couple steps had even more games. Star Wars Trilogy, T2, other shooter type of games, as well as several stations with small TVs for old school systems, like Nintendos and Super Nintendos. My wife played Zelda 2 for a bit on one of them. Down the ramp was even more titles. Dance Dance Revolution, several pinball machines, 4-player Pac-Man, and a bunch of larger TVs with comfy seats with Switch machines hooked up. The machines were set to play a handful of games, such as Fortnite, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8, Gang Beasts, and a few more. My wife played a little Super Smash and some Mario Kart on these. My wife got a drink and I forget what it was, but it actually tasted pretty good (I don't like alcohol). They did a good job on it. Overall, this place is fantastic. There are lots of options for games to play. Since there aren't coins or tokens, you can finally beat some of the titles you never could when you were younger, like Gauntlet or some of the rail shooters that eat up quarters. Prices are reasonable and we could have stayed for a lot longer, but after 2-1/2 hours, we had had our fill (technically, I could have kept playing, but that's because there were a lot more games to beat that I didn't even get a chance to get to). My wife, whom doesn't play many video games, had a great time beating some of the shooters and playing old school stuff. If you are into arcades, this is a great place to go and the selection and options are hard to beat. read more

Additionally, they recognize and honor military service members and veterans, which we greatly appreciate. read more

Arcade 92 - Arcades Near Me - McKinney, Texas

My 2nd visit, and not as crowded as 1st time, perfect! Actually, on a Sunday, I arrived later, with 3 hours remaining. Plenty of open games, plenty of open seating. I battled the Stranger Things pinball game for a while, then I got my shots down to place 1st, top score, and enter my gamer initials for the display board. This Stern pinball machine can register players to this machine and others with same feature, so you can compete nationally with other Pinball Wizards! Asteroids game, hehe, needs a tune-up! The playing field is15% blank on the left side from top to bottom. The asteroids & space ships are very tiny. There are 4 Asteroid games, 1979 version, that I have found in some DFW arcades, only 1 is functioning in 100% true original settings. Well, I looked at all the console games, majority were open, available for play this night. I would need assistance with set-up, etc, time to treat some buddies to get them up here. Today I learned that there is another Arcade92 located over in Flower Mound, TX, southwest from McKinney. Put that on my planner for a future visit! Support the retro game arcades! read more

My sister and I came here and enjoyed ourselves with the classic video games. It was a fun, engaging atmosphere. I would give 5 stars but the bartender was rude towards me. She asked how it was going, and I said good. She asked why then we hadn't tipped her and the bartender. This was very off putting for myself. Especially since we bussed our own table and brought all our empty drinks back to the bar. I have never been talked to in such a way and I would not talk that way to my customers as I have worked in customer service before. We did leave her and the other bartender a tip; a tip that was over 20%. Hopefully, she can learn how to talk to customers in a more respectful way. read more

Hello!! The 80's called and said they want their arcade back!! I walked in this place and knew it was gong to be a blast, they have every game I've ever played when I was kid. I mean they had Track and Field, Sinistar, Tron, Mortal Kombat... and the list goes on. I was here for around two hours and never stopped enjoying myself. I went with my son, and he got a kick out of my love for some of these old games. It also gave him an idea of how different it is to play Pole Position compared to today's games like Forza Horizon (which they also had). We even sat down and played Fortnite together with the consoles in the back of the room. This place has a bar, great bar food and a fun crowd where you can really reel in that nostalgia. I can't wait to go back and try it again. read more

Great fun! The front of the arcade showcases pure '80s nostalgia. Donkey Kong, Burgertime, Crystal Castles, vs. Super Mario Bros., Tron, Paperboy, Joust... they're all here in great working order and all on freeplay. The back area is more modern games and also includes console gaming with comfortable chairs and large TVs. Great selection of pinball too! Reasonable costs all around. Food was good overall... we ordered the honey pepperoni pizza and the buffalo wings. Both hit the spot. Nice beverage menu as well. I was pleased to see how many families were there, sharing these fun classics with the next generation. After 9 I believe, it's adults only. One of my kiddos got in trouble for turning one of the consoles off. Would recommend plastic lockable shells if that is a recurring issue. Other than that, we had an amazing time and plan to return! read more

Really fun, especially for the price. We went for a date on a Thursday and there were a few people inside but we were able to play all the games we wanted to except Guitar Hero, which was busy the whole time, and DDR Max, which appeared to be out of order. They even had a wall of tvs for Switch games and the like which I hadn't expected. I loved the selection of pinball games, and it was fun to try some arcade games we'd never seen before. If you come for a date, I would recommend being with someone of a similar skill level. If you're both great at games or both awful at games (like we were), it makes for a very fun night in walking distance of some great food and desserts. read more

Omg what a flash back to the good days! Only $25 for both of us to play all day! From pac man, to frogger, galaga & pinball machines! This was such a cool experience and they even have drinks and food you can buy! read more

This place was awesome, would highly recommend. They have an amazing selection of old school arcade games, and some new games for the younger kids. As a child of the 80s, being able to free play TMNT and The Simpsons to try and finally beat them was priceless. Nostalgia at its finest. I didn't try any of the food or drinks, but from what I could tell they looked great. Planning to return frequently with my children. read more

When I first saw this place, I was with my Boyfriend checking out downtown McKinney with him. He lives right n McKinney and wanted to show me around. I then came back with one of my dear friends and we had a blast. Every kind of retro game you can think of, pinball, and modern games. Such a great place! The second trip was with my boyfriend and his daughter. We stayed forever it feels like. The food was good, the atomosphere was great, and they have a fun adult drink menu but also unlimited refills on fountain drinks. Highly recommend this place. 12 dollars gets you unlimited play time!

My partner & I are giving the "ABC date trend" a go so he chose this arcade to start it off! We went around 8 pm on a Saturday and didn't have to wait too long to receive our wristbands and then the fun began! It was so nostalgic playing pinball, Sonic on sega Dreamcast, Tetris & more! We didn't order drinks but the bar was legit! For $12 a wristband it's definitely worth it and it's something different instead of the traditional dinner & a movie! read more

Cody and Zee always make us feel at home. We love this bar. Great beers and great times!

I was in Allen TX for work looking for dinner, drink and something fun to do. Well I found something fun to do and a good drink. These guys have a pretty decent barcade with a bunch of retro games, pinball and a large selection of consoles. Everything I tried worked and freeplay was nice after the cover charge. I do have two dings against the place. First, if you noticed I didn't mention I found dinner. They couldn't cook a personal pizzas without burning the crust. (Probably frozen) Second issue the Stern pinball machines are nice and all but they all kind of play the same. Also, music based pinballs had volume too low. I'd encourage either getting some older retro pins or at least a couple of other brands. Overall it was good fun, so I'll give them a pass and ding them only one instead of two. Eat beforehand. (Edit: After reading others reviews I don't understand how they can't get a frozen pizza right. It seams it wasn't an isolated incident. ) read more

I am a free play regular and let me start off by saying this is not free play. Let me start off what they did wrong , from a free play person really only two things ... 1)they advertised a mario kart tournament and I was the only person who showed for it ( I get it weird pandemic times) , #2 why it is not free play , no candy cabs or vs city, the street fighter scene is too big to not have at least an Astro city( vs city preferred) , but why 5 stars ...they have top notch pinball line up to me( maybe not fully updated ) ... stranger things , best pinball in past two year IMO. JPark, one of my faves and new one too me "the mandalorian "... For what they are trying to do. They superior to the barcades or kung fu s in dallas. Cleaner , better food , better staff. Not to be shallow , but the bartenders were pretty and had a good attitude . I even asked why the 92 in arcade 92, she looked too young to been born in 92 , but yeah she said golden age of arcade , 92, I'm a street fighter child, but plenty of og's will reference the 80s as Golden;) In short, I had a great time. They have a perfect location and shiner on tap. I'm chris to See how they do with the the console setup on the wall. Could have been an epic mario kart tourney . Picture of me putting up #1 on stranger things. read more

We went to this adult arcade with my daughter and son in law, we had a fairly long wait to pay and get our wristbands. Another long wait to get our drinks. There were quite a few people there so maybe it's not always like that, once we had drinks and wristbands it was awesome!! There was a wait for the pinball machines and a couple were broken. They had a guy working on them so that was good. Other than that we were pretty much able to play whatever we wanted. It was really fun. They had a long if different games to choose from.
