She said we only had 30 minutes to play and we said that was fine. She had then assumed my fiancé was drunk and said he was not allowed to order any alcohol. Mind you I am pregnant and he has been sober for 6 years. We never asked for any alcohol or had the intent of ordering any she just assumed. It was absolutely unprofessional and we walked out. It also smelt of mildew. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Power trip af.

On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

We came here for the first time last Sunday afternoon. It was a very cool spot and a great value!…read more The arcade is pretty big, with a wide variety of games. Tokens are reasonably priced and older style arcade games only take 1- the more interactive or multi player games (think air hockey, basketball, dance dance etc) take 4. They have free popcorn, daily drink specials, and drinks were very reasonably priced. Despite being fairly busy, service at the bar was friendly and fast- I was impressed! Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.

Offers pool tables, a jukebox, slot machines, food, indoor and outdoor seating. Decided on a whim to stop and check out some food at this local establishment. The parking lot was surprisingly full for 8 pm on a Tuesday night. Inside was decorated with your typical bar-type neon signs and offered several pub type tables, booths and bar seating. We were hungry so we decided to order chicken wings since I have read they were good in some of the reviews on YELP, well, wouldn't you k ow they were out of chicken! Not only were they out of chicken but also Mozzeralla sticks! Which is exactly the two things I wanted to order. I ended up getting a bacon cheese burger which I couldn't even finish. The food was surprisingly delicious! Our server was just barely adequate. In the end, we had to bring our bill up to the bar to check out because she was talking to someone at the bar and didn't see that we were sitting there ready(this is the main reason for 4 stars versus 5).
