First time to this Cidercade. I've been to a location in Houston before. Went on a Monday early afternoon. Great time to go since it was probably at 15% capacity. $12 all you can play is an insane deal. If there was anything like this where I live, I would be ecstatic. All the games I played were fully functional. They have a good mix between rhythm games, old school and new arcade games, and a ton of pinball machines. We got to play pretty much everything we wanted to without waiting with the exception of Jurassic Park and TMNT - those were constantly being used. If you live close by, be thankful these exist! I haven't seen anything like it outside of Texas. If you're in town visiting, plan for a day at Cidercade, ideally on a weekday morning/afternoon. read more

Epic arcade and cider house! All in-house made cider, lots of variety and flavors, loved all the ones I tried! Loads of arcade games, multiplayer games, dance games, racing games, basketball and more. Most importantly, EXCELLENT selection of pinball machines!!! Under $13 for an all day pass and kid free after 9PM (meaning adults only lol, not a free entrance for kids). AC running strong inside for a great day of arcades in the summer along with food and drinks. The only con was that there were SOOOOO many kids and long lines sometimes to play the games. Some kids hog the machine for a while haha. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot. read more

Cidercade is a really cool place. It's affordable and although it could be about five times larger because it gets crowded, the selection is good. I'm really writing this to talk about the pizza. It would've been very easy to just offer some subpar pizza because people aren't going to a place like this for fine dining. Instead, this is actually some of the very best pizza in the city. Most of the time I would balk at the idea of paying these prices for pizza but here it is well worth it. As I mentioned, yes, it gets crowded and it's often hard to get to the more popular games, but you can always find something to do. read more

I wish they had one of these in Miami!!! Such a cool concept for an arcade. It's as noisy as any arcade but they do have seating area outside which is cool because they have swings as seats. Beers were nice and cold and the games are fairly priced. Parking is ample read more

Cidercade Austin - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Arcade bars are a glorious creation. To look at the classic concept of a pizzeria with an arcade and say, "What if it was 18+ after 9 pm and we brew our own beers and ciders?" is brilliant. Even more brilliant is making all the arcade machines free play, so when you pay the $12.99 to get in, you have the opportunity to play any game your heart desires. I drank two beers while at Cidercade, their Texas Blonde and their Pistolas Mexican Lager. Both were good and easy to drink. All the arcade games have nearby areas to place your drinks so you can lock in on the games as needed. The collection of games is great and varied, from pinball machines and Japanese rhythm games to classic arcade games like Q*bert, Donkey Kong, Tetris, and more. There are racing games, Guitar Hero Arcade, rail shooters, Pop-A-Shot, skee ball, and plenty of other options. I enjoy that most of the people moving around Cidercade feel pretty sophisticated and do not get too rowdy like at other bars. Everyone is there to have a good time and chill. All the games are clean, which is crazy knowing how much beer and how many drinks are being consumed around them. A little booze in your system and playing pinball is an amazing experience, and I cannot wait to go back. RIYL: The Y2K center but you were alive in the 2000s. read more

Cidercade is definitely a great spot to go to hangout with friends, date night, or just vibing to great games and cider! I love how you only pay an entry fee of approximately $20 and you get to experience unlimited games for the duration of your visit. Cidercade offers a variety of games ranging from all the classics to modern day arcade games. Always a great time here. The ciders offered are amazing. I personally love the Peach Paradise. The pizza here is also phenomenal (I highly recommend the Meat Lovers). Service here is always friendly and the vibes definitely keep me coming back. The back patio allows you to see the city skyline views of downtown. You can also walk to the boardwalk within a short walk behind Cider Cade, allowing you a better view of the city skyline. Definitely recommend! read more

I can't believe you can play all you want for only twelve bucks. Love it! Arcade bars are the greatest invention ever, so much fun. In top of the great games, the food is good too. The pizza and salads are kicking. Really good beer, cocktail, and n/a choices. Love the setup, decor, swings, and vibe. No kids after hours=great! Friendly and fun service. read more

What a blast. Went with my son and one of his best friends on a whim. I've been to the one in Dallas before and had so much fun! This has a great location. If it was cooler would have been nice to sit outside but the Texas heat was screaming NOOOO! So many different types of games to choose from. I kept to the OG games. All games were fully functioning so no out of orders anywhere. Loved the free water cups at the bar area. We did not eat anything since we had already had our dinner before coming but did see a huge brick oven wood burning pizza oven and it smelled heavenly!! Want to definitely come back for a longer time and eat for sure. This place is such a bargain for what you get. We went on a Tuesday night and parking was hard to find so it's pretty popular for sure! Cannot speak on service since didn't do a meal or bar purchase but guy at the front door was super friendly! We will be back for sure for a longer good time! read more

Cidercade Austin provides a ton of gameplay for a fair price, and the food and drink prices are reasonable too. They have solid cider for adults. Cidercade has an app you can play games on to earn points toward free entry. The parking lot is small when the location is busy, so you may have to park a bit away and look out for No Parking/Tow Zone signs on nearby streets! It's adequate during less buy times. It's less busy in the first couple hours of the day on weekends; if you can manage, I recommend going then to get more gameplay on the popular games like air hockey. There will be a lot of kids, so be prepared for that. They have a patio with a nice view of the city which can also provide a break from the sounds inside. read more

We're visiting Austin from the mountains of Western North Carolina and stopped by Cidercade--and had an absolute blast. Tons of games to choose from, all included with the price of admission, which made it easy to relax and play without keeping track of anything. The views of the river and city are gorgeous and really add to the experience. There were lots of fun cider options and a solid food menu (we didn't eat this time, but everything looked great). As you might expect, there were kiddos running around pretty freely--fun energy, but if you're a bit of a germaphobe like me, I'd recommend bringing plenty of hand sanitizer. Overall, such a fun spot, and we really wish we had something like this back home read more

Cidercade Austin - View outside - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

What a terrific concept, arcade and cider house put into one. Unlimited game play and a right off of the river. Perfect for honestly anyone, kids, families, friends, or couples wanting a day or night out. You can order food and the pizzas are great, plenty of seating both inside and outside to choose from. Tons of games from our childhood plus a bunch of newer arcade games which makes this place standout. We particularly loved the StepManiaX (newer version of DDR including the center button), nidhogg (hilariously competitive and super easy to understand), PBR Perfect Pour (I can't believe this was made into a game but it's enjoyable), bubble bobble, and super Mario kart racing, in addition to all the cool Japanese arcade games. We wish they had this back in Chicago! read more

A nice place for many different personalities to go to easy parking lot spacious. Outside balcony patio is available to sit and talk on and I guess if you need to smoke a cigarettes or vape inside is decorated and also playing games you do sometimes have to wait for others to get off before you can get on but a lot of different choices. Most of the time you'll stay busy playing something . bathrooms are available. drinks in the bar is available.. everything gets shut down at 12. All the games will be turned off automatically so just try to find the exit at that time. Pay for your tickets upfront and then go play. read more

Reducing my review because it seems like every game here is broken sure they turn on but then the joystick don't work or the guns don't align. They have one game over by the ski ball and it's just flames because the game doesn't know how to start or it won't reset then their Jurassic Park game, which is super popular. One of the guns doesn't even work on the left it just the targeting is off anyways I'm getting out is the Game tax here are not doing their jobs at all and it's really fall apart and the games aren't getting updated. It's just it's sad. read more

Visited with some out-of-town guests and everyone had a blast! From adults to small children, you will be occupied with food, drinks, and arcades! For an entry fee of $12, all games were included! They had a great selection of racing, fighting, guitar hero, pinball, hooping, so much more! The drink options were plentiful and even the food options were tasty. A fun atmosphere all-around for all ages. Sit outside at their table with swings as seats while enjoying the view of Austin downtown! We will be back again! Enjoy! read more

Cidercade Austin - Fun patio seating - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Do you love cider? This is a must-visit. We tried the darkcide, banafoster, and a bunch of others. All were pleasing. However, it does come with a side of unlimited game play, even better. A vast range of ages can go here, including kids with their families. Their food menu is limited, pizza (and pizza desserts) and wings. Some outdoor seating on the river with a gorgeous view of the city. If I was in Austin more often, or drove here, I'd want to get packs of these ciders to bring home! read more

Cidercade has hundreds of games and unlimited play for 12 bucks, and it's awesome. Sometimes, it's nice to get away from the ticket winning games and enjoy some good ol' classic arcade fun. My son had a blast and it was great experiencing all of the OG games with him. I'm not much of a cider connoisseur, but they did have some fun and tasty drinks. Just a head's up, they switch from all ages to 21+ at 8pm. Cidercade is definitely worth checking out with friends or your kids, or both! read more

$12 per person for unlimited play, such a great deal! We only had about an hour before heading to the airport, but it was still totally worth it. The place was busy, yet there were plenty of games to play. The cider and house-made hummus were yummy. It was cold when we went, but the outdoor area has river views and swing seats. read more

They've nailed the "Cyberpunk Chic" aesthetic. It's dark enough to feel immersive, but the neon accents are strategically placed so you aren't constantly bumping into people. High-energy but surprisingly spacious. ​A refreshing mix. You've got the hardcore speed-runners, couples on awkward (but cute) first dates, and groups of women actually taking up space at the fighting game cabinets. O and the beers good lol read more

This place is grimy, it gets so packed and the air could use better circulation. So for those little things I give it a solid four stars. Simple concept, it's arcade where you pay a fee to go inside, and get to play all day. Door staff was friendly and fast in getting the line inside. The machines don't take any money and you just jump on one that is free. There is some outside seating if you want to get some fresh air and socialize or eat. The food! I am a pizza lover, and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the Cidercade pie was. My husband and I ended up splitting a pickle pizza and it was incredible. Thin crust, not too greasy and they managed to keep it from being over salted. Order it if you want a sour salty carbohydrate treat. It's a one person serving if you're really hungry. We'll be back! read more

My boyfriend's work had a happy hour here over the weekend, so we went to check it out. Although it was wonderful to meet his coworkers, Cidercade was a genuine disappointment. Think: loud, packed, and dirty. Kids everywhere. Most games broken. $12 ciders. Parking was atrocious, too. The lot was absolutely full. Everyone was just waiting in a big line, hoping someone would pull out in front of them so they could pull in. This would be an okay spot for a 7-year-old birthday party, but anything above that is highly questionable at best. read more

This is my new go to arcade in Austin great for kids and adults. It has a bar that has ciders I've always wanted to try cider beer YUMMM!! there is some really good flavors. Best part you pay to go in and it's unlimited old-school games to much fun! Plus pinball machines so many choices to choose from. I was a big kid The people there are always so kind giving that great service and fun vibe every time I go! Oh can't forget about the pizza! It's delicious wish it was a bit bigger but it's just enough. Can't wait to go back every time it's just not enough time to play! read more

So, Ive been to two other Cidercade locations and I prefer the other two locations over this one. Parking is a situation, but that is generally an Austin thing. The location to order drinks is smack dab in the middle of the arcade vs up front like the other two locations I've been too. With the sounds of the games, customers, etc it was really hard to talk with the bartenders to get our drink orders in. It felt like we all had to yell to be heard. Plus, they had the water cups just sitting out. Playing games was fun but there was a number of unmonitored kids that would jump in front of you in line, long gone are the quarter on the counter wait your turn rules I guess, that even my kid got flustered with how many times he got cut off after waiting his turn. I would think that somewhere pushing drinks and with a no kids after a certain time rule would enforce the monitor your kids but I guess not. We'll probably stick to the locations closer to home next time. read more

Cidercade Austin - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is legit - depending on the time. The positive - most of the games were operational and they had some great games. Staff was for the most part super friendly. Facility was clean, although I wish they had more hand sanitizer around. Something gross about touching a bunch of games after many people. The only food we tried was the pizza and it was good. The bad - depending on how crowded it is, you might not be able to play your favorite game. It isn't that large of a place so I suspect weekends are a bit of a mess and pretty crowded. We went during a non peak time and still had to wait for a few games like Jurassic park, racing, TMNT etc. Worth a visit. Great for kids during less busy times. read more

As a cider girly, this was my heaven. No beer/liquor/mixed drinks of any kind. I been to the one in Houston and some if the games are different so it's great that you can learn of different games at each location. We were hanging here until we could get ready for out concert so we spent a comfortable amount of time here. You can taste samples of the flavors which is cool. A try before you buy. This company is exclusively the Bishop Ciders, the company is based in Dallas and the bartender told me they rotate flavors so you aren't bored in taste if you frequent enough. During the day, children are welcome but after 8, adults only! So if you want a more adult atmosphere, come in later or you want your kiddos to have fun, you have the entire day. I hope they bring this in San Antonio. Otherwise, I'll just get my fix by visiting Austin. read more

I am really glad places like this exist. Its $12 for "all you can play" arcade games plus you can get some thin pizza and some good ciders. While I didn't get the pizza, I did try a few ciders and they were much better than expected. The arcade games were pretty good as well with loads of gems, but since this place is unlimited arcade play, some of the games got really hogged up. Its also extremely loud in there, but I guess that should be expected. I like that its pretty much an arcade bar, but is set up to be family friendly. There's something for everybody here! I also liked the outdoor area overlooking the lake, but it was a little too hot when I was there! read more

There's a large variety of games so there's always something to do. The food and drinks are delicious. Also, I lost my purse here and when we went to go ask the people at the bar about it, they had been keeping it safe for me. I guess someone had turned it in to them. I really really appreciate that The vibes are great all around read more

When this place was closing tonight a man working there yelled at everyone to get out and was extremely hostile and rude. He unplugged the game we were playing in a very furious manner. He could have just said "hey guys we are closed" and we would have left right away! Instead, the guy about gave everyone a panic attack from how crazy he sounded. I was so confused about what was going on. He came off as a violent man being aggressive to customers. I will never go back to this place after having such a jarring experience. Seriously, who treats people like that. It was so incredibly agro and off putting especially after the tragedy on West 5th a couple weeks ago. I was so freaked out by this behavior. Such a vibe killer. Go to PinBallz instead. They treat you like actual humans and not cattle. read more

Cidercade seriously surprised us--in the best way. We ordered the Hummus & Pita, which came with house-made pita and a creamy, flavorful hummus, and the Pepperoni Pizza Burrito packed with pepperoni, mozzarella, parmesan, and basil, served with both ranch and marinara for dipping. Every bite tasted like legit, high-quality restaurant food, not something you'd expect from a game room. The food alone is reason enough to keep coming back again and again--and the games are just a bonus. read more

Wonderful experience of nostalgia. This place is nestled in a little pocket along Riverside Dr. There is plenty of parking, so you don't have to be greedy about the parking in the first space you see. The deal is $12 cover at the door, for access to the space and that means all the arcade games you want. They have a lot of classics, like the original Street Fighter, Q Bert, And my personal old time favorite, 1943. They got Bad Dudes, pinball games, skee ball, basketball, Pac-Man, Miss or original, seated or standing. Remember Joust? They have it. It's a cider house and I tried a few ciders. The Skill Check was a good dry cider, the sour lemonade had a good taste to it too. The personal pizzas looked great, but we opted for the smoked wings. If you're into spicy, the spicy habanero peach nectar wasn't too bad. If you're into a sweeter taste, the crack berry BBQ wasn't too bad either. I thought the place was well run. As expected with any arcade some of the games needed maintenance, but that was the exception not the rule. Somebody was picking up drink cups, but I barely saw any around the games - so, maybe , most folks cleaned up after themselves. A lot of the games had a barrel close by or a shelf built into the side of the game. Bathroom was labeled as the Whiz Palace...it was clean and maintained. I recommend this location in Austin. read more

So much fun! This is a must for date night, I wish we had stopped in earlier while on our trip and not on a weekend as we went on a Saturday and it was PACKED. Everyone seemed pretty understanding of playing the games one time and moving if there was a line. We were happy to see guitar hero and a game similar to dance-dance revolution offered. Tons of retro arcade games, as well as some newer games including basketball shooting, and air hockey. There was an entire room lined with pinball machines as well.
