A family owned arcade in the heart of Downtown Leavenworth. It didn't hit me what RETROcade meant…read moreuntil I walked in, most of the arcade games are from the 80s to early 90s. Pay the entry fee and majority of games are free play. You can definitely get your money's worth after a few games. Unfortunately some of the buttons don't work on some of the machines - this is extremely important with those older four player games where the start button is the only way to choose that character. While the arcade is 'Retro' - the inventory seems to be constantly changing and evolving as there was a Pump It Up Arcade game that looks like they were still working on. Now there are more up to date arcades deep in Kansas City for the same arm-band price, but this Retrocade is a nice addition to the local town of Leavenworth.

This was our first time at this location and I have to say, I'm impressed! Very clean, well ran, plenty of friendly workers, tons of activities for a variety of ages. Even I had a blast. Go carts were the most fun. Laser tag is always a hoot (the arena is a much smaller space then some others). Bowling. Games. Foam pit. Bumper cars. Not a bad way to spend some "quality" family time.

We went to Double Tap KC for my friend's birthday and ended up having such a fun experience…read more We booked the virtual reality, which was definitely the highlight of the night. It was a little confusing at first getting everything set up and figuring out the controls, but once we got into it, it was a blast. The setup upstairs is really cool--it's somewhat separated, which helps you stay immersed, but there are still other arcade games up there so if you're waiting for your turn, you're not just standing around. One thing I really appreciated was the drink selection. I don't drink alcohol, and they had a TON of mocktail options, which honestly made the experience way better for me. It's not something every place puts effort into, so that stood out. The food was also surprisingly good, with plenty of options to choose from. Downstairs has more of a full bar vibe with additional games and more space to sit and eat (no VR down there), so it's nice to have both environments depending on what you're in the mood for. Overall, it's a great spot for groups, especially for birthdays or a night out where you want something a little different.

It is a great spot to get drinks because there are also light bites that you can have as well. I didn't get many pics of the aesthetic, but the place is so beautiful and there are indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar area or you can sit at the tables, which is what we did. The staff were very friendly and it was more of a casual bar type of vibe. I got the chips and queso, and the queso was good, the chips weren't my favorite but I would be interested in trying something different.

They are amazing! honestly one of the best gaming console repair shops out there…read more Had and PC, laptop and PS5 that needed repair, they were able to offer a fair quote that worked with me. for my PS5 was same day repair and got it back fixed up good as new within a couple hours. couple months later my Gaming Pc was acting up and couldn't figure it out. However of course first place I thought of was Gamers HQ:) had my Pc back in couple days good as new. All the employees are super friendly and super knowledgeable about whatever device you bring in! so, I do defiantly recommend this shop for anyone that comes across it!

Now before I even get started with this, let me make it clear that I'm not a bona fide gamer. I…read moredon't spend my hours glued in front of a big screen television playing all of the latest games. What I am is an old school video game lover. Once upon a time I was the owner of a PlayStation one and over the years It got misplaced. I've been telling myself for a while to try to find a way to get another one but with new games and consoles being introduced all the time, I feared that I would never be able to find an original classic. When I googled play station one in search of trying to find places that sold them I was led to this place. I looked at the reviews and they seem to be a spot that a lot of people approved so I decided I'd give them a call. When I called them and told them that I was looking for an original PlayStation one, I was immediately surprised that they had it. Not only did they have it, the price that they were selling it for was extremely affordable especially in these days and times. But before I could commit to buying it I had one more question for them. The number one game that I love to play on the PlayStation one was Tekken 3, and when I asked them if they had that, they stated that they did. At that point I was sold and I came in the next day and purchased my PlayStation one and my game Tekken three. After receiving the game. I immediately came home and hooked it up and I noticed a problem right away when it took me five attempts to get the game to come on before it would. When I seen that it came on I was willing to forgive the five tries, until I turned off the game and went about my business and came back hours later to play again only to find that the Console would not come on at all. I decided that I was going to take the console back and demand either a replacement or a refund. When I arrived they were so friendly and helpful. They immediately discovered that the problem was the power cord to the game. They quickly issued me a new power cord and assured me that if there were any more problems they would be more than happy to fix it at no extra charge. I brought the cord home hooked it up and I have been in tekken land ever since. Now that I've talked about my experience I will talk about the layout of the store. They do have a lot of retro games. They do have Nintendo, the wii and all of the other games, but what I saw that I haven't ever seen before was they have a gaming room. Set up with gaming chairs, different sizes of TVs and they said they virtually have any game that you were interested in playing. You can pay a price to play for an hour, or half a day or all day. You can pay for snacks while you play games. Unfortunately they won't let you in the room unless you're going to play games in there but I did get a sneak peek as a kid came out to switch out games. This has become a popular hang out in the Topeka area and now I know why. I literally saw parents bringing their kids to this place and coming back to pick them up later. Maybe one day just out of curiosity I may go and play a game for an hour just to see what it's like. They also state that you can throw gaming parties. So if you are into classic games like me or you are a bona fide gamer this is definitely a place you want to check out

However, whoever the blonde waitress in the purple shirt was should not be working in a place specifically for children. She was mean to the kids. I thought maybe the kids, being middle schoolers, may have done something. I did some investigation into this and found that any of my students that tried to interact with her had a poor experience. The kids tried ordering food from her and she straight up ignored them. She threw menus down on the bar top at them. She glared at them and made "stink faces" at them. She put in an order for one of my students incorrectly and proceeded to blame it on my student. I observed this behavior myself. She was rude to me as well, saying "You need to give me a minute because I have all of these other people to worry about." Then continued to not help any of the other people she pointed to. I waitressed and bartended for ten years before going into teaching. This behavior is not okay, especially toward kids in an establishment where the targeted audience is kids. If she was overwhelmed or stressed, I understand that. What I do not understand is the blatant disrespect. She acted out of immaturity more than any kid there. If the excuse is understaffing, then Main Even should've scheduled more people on a day they knew had several schools scheduled to be there. Also, understaffing is not an excuse to be crass to a bunch of kids. I observed this behavior from her doing this to kids outside of my district as well. The kids did not know they couldn't order soft drinks from the bar area. Instead of telling them this, she gave them hateful looks and ignored them. To get her to come up to you, the kids either had to get an adult because she would blatantly ignore them or call for her when she was standing there not doing anything. Most of the time, she was hiding in the kitchen. Even then, if the kids came to get me, I had to do the most to get her attention. The entitlement coming from her was obvious. She thought she could do whatever she wanted because she was dealing with kids. I have no clue why she stayed behind the bar on a day where absolutely no one is drinking because there are more than five schools there and no one can drink, but she did whatever she could to get out of doing her job. She ended up resulting to telling the kids to go to the other food line, which was at least fifty people deep at all times, because she didn't want to put in the food orders. She said it would be faster. Anyone with eyes knew she was lying. I apologize for the long review. However, I do not appreciate or take it lightly when adults who take out their insecurities, unhappiness, and bad days on children. If you don't like dealing with kids, don't work at a place where you are going to be dealing with a lot of kids.

All the…read moreclassic arcade games you could want, and every machine is only a quarter--which is unreal these days. What really sets them apart is how on top of everything they are. If some drunk person breaks a machine, it's fixed almost immediately. No "out of order" signs sitting there all night--staff actually cares that the games work. Service is quick, drinks are affordable, and the bartenders keep things moving even when it's busy. And yes... they have Mario Kart, which alone makes this place elite.
