If you're planning a weekend visit, I highly recommend arriving around opening time. Parking can be…read morea little tricky since the available parking is across the street, and once the crowds roll in, it can get pretty packed. Getting there early also gives you plenty of time to explore and choose your favorite games before you have to compete with the weekend crowd. I really like that there are separate game rooms, along with a variety of food options and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Overall, this is a pretty cool arcade establishment. In my opinion, the atmosphere and game selection seem to cater more toward adults, which makes it a fun spot for grown-ups looking for something different to do.

4 Stars? Let me tell you why…read more Cidercade Fort Worth is one of those places that is just a lot of fun. The atmosphere is unique, and the combination of old school arcade games with a mix of newer games makes it easy to lose a couple of hours here. There is a really good variety, so whether you are into classic arcade nostalgia or something newer, there is plenty to keep you entertained. The food was another pleasant surprise. Everything we tried was really tasty, and considering the affordable pricing overall, it makes for a pretty budget friendly outing. The Fort Worth location is also convenient, which makes it an easy spot to add to a day or evening out. My biggest complaint is that it can get pretty crowded, especially during busier times, which takes away from the experience a little when you are trying to play some of the more popular games. Also, if you are visiting during the Texas summer, be prepared for it to get hot inside. With all the people, games, and activity, the temperature can definitely become noticeable. Overall, though, I would absolutely come back. Great atmosphere, tons of games, good food, and an affordable price point make this a solid Fort Worth outing.

They walls lined up with games and my huge party enjoyed the few hours we spent inside. There was a cover charge of I think like $11, but other than that the games are free! I was visiting from California and we have a bar very similar but games aren't free...so we enjoyed being able to play an unlimited amount of games. The bar is pretty open too, they have so many different beer and liquor options. Prices were great too! Highly recommend for a chill night out!

The music is loud and the game volumes seem to be set on max so my ears felt like I'd been to a concert when I left. I recommend hearing protection if you're noise sensitive. Also, hard pass on the hot dogs. They had several options that I interpreted into they must be decent but no, they aren't, save the $4 and your gut. Still leaving this five stars for the arcade, adult beverage selection and price point.

Still a fun place to hang out and play games I grew up with and tons more I've never played.read more

Tokyo Station is the sister location to Free Play Arcade, the groundbreaking bar/arcade concept…read more This location used to be a Free Play Arcade but has now been converted to a Japanese arcade theme destination. If you're expecting old school arcade games like Free Play Arcade, you'll be disappointed. If you want to be transported to Japan via Arlington, read on. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Step into the world of the Japanese arcade. As you walk in, you'll notice claw and Gachapon machines tempting you to play and win something. There's Japanese pop music piping through the speakers, and a dedicated room full of imported Japanese arcade games add more sounds. There's also a dedicated bar and dining area. It was relatively empty at 12:30 PM on a Friday. But it's also simply INCREDIBLE if you're into Japanese culture. You're not in DFW anymore. 2 Star. Service - There's a friendly bartender, if you want to order drinks (I did not). Otherwise, you place your order at a kiosk, grab a numbered puck, and then grab a seat. When your puck starts making a sound, your food will be ready at the windows. Heads up, if you leave you table unattended the staff with clean up so others can sit. They're very efficient. 1 Star. Food - Let me first say, if you're looking for the Free Play Arcade experience, you will be disappointed. If you're looking to be transported to a Japanese arcade (me) this place is awesome. The kiosks are very straight forward; you can order packaged ramen to ramen made in house. I went with the Street Tonkatsu. The broth was mild (not overly salty), and the pork belly was very tender. I also ordered the Tokyo Station Tacos. The JBBQ pulled pork was surprisingly tasty, but I couldn't help but long for a Chinese Bao instead of a tortilla. But what impressed me the most was the booth we sat in. It was connected to a monitor, and we could access a bunch of SNES games. 1 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes! Tokyo Station is my kind of jam. The only thing that gave me concern is that it wasn't very busy on a Friday. I hope this concept stays, because it's the closest thing to a Japanese arcade besides flying to Japan. 1 Star.

This was my first time here and I am not really a huge fan. This arcade features Japanese arcade…read moregames and that's just not my thing. There were a few games that were the American version but only a few...Galaga and Pacman were the ones that I noticed. They did have a decent selection of pinball machines...however they are NOT included in the free play. I was a little surprised but also disappointed that pinball was extra... The cost for the "free play" is a little pricey compared to Cidercade...if we are comparing size and what's included. I also think that it helps to have an interest in japanese video games, which I do not. This is a really small arcade which did make it hard to move around and there were lines for the popular games, unfortunately, the overall experience was not really that exciting. The service at the bar was the great, the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. There is a separate area for the free play and the kids working the counter were mostly on their phones unless someone walked up to them.

We brought our teenagers there and they had a blast. No alcohol is served, so the kids can stay until they close. The ticketed games also pay out well. The best thing about this place vs the other video game places is.......if you don't play, you don't have to pay. This is not true for other gaming places. It's nice to bring your kids and let them play and the parents/adults who aren't paying can sit and chit chat. SO AMAZING!!! The staff were so nice and accommodating. We would definitely return. Everyone needs to go and keep them in business.

I've been coming to this location for over a decade and am always interested to see the gaming changes. Every time I come, it feels like the wine offerings are different. Usually I get a Merlot, this last time they did not have any but did have a cab Sauvignon that I had to buy a full bottle of or try a canned wine for the first time. I went for the bottle and brought it bowling with me. The apps were all pretty good, as usual. There were several technical issues on our lane but an associate was quick enough to fix it and add some extra time back on each time.

When we arrived Saturday morning, everything was already set up and ready for us to get started. The staff stayed on top of our drinks and orders the entire time, and everyone had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

I almost instantly regretted it as soon as we figured out there was not a single place to sit for parents. They have a decent size party room, but unless you rent it, they don't allow anyone in. The whole time our kids were playing we stood while staff mopped the room in the middle of the day. The room was empty from the time we arrived at open so it blows my mind they would not put one of their 5 tables with benches down for customers. When I asked about seating they recommended we sit outside on the benches by the mini golfing in triple digits, leaving a blind straight path between my kids and the exit. Not an option.

We don't come often but we love it when we do. I will say I miss the smells of putt putt coming here. It used to smell like ice cream and fresh waffle cones. Enjoy!
