    City skyline view from the boardwalk behind Cidercade
    Andy D.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    One flat cost to play all the arcade games you want?? Yes please!! This place is huge with a ton of games of every variety to choose from most of the games were working and there was so so many games! Food available is pizza and they have soda all you can drink for one price. Although I constantly had to find my son's soda cup he left at different games luckily it wasn't very busy so there wasn't cup confusion.

    Love the pizza & ciders. Our fav place to visit when coming to Austin. Never been disappointed.

    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!

    Amy R.

    $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.

    Kids love it! 4 and under play free until 9pm... the amount of entertainment you get for the price is really great. The staff are friendly and the pizza is amazing! Definitely recommend it

    Cidercade proved the perfect escape when Austin's weather eventually turns (because we all know it will). What seems like a simple arcade transforms into a nostalgic wonderland where adults can relive childhood while sipping craft ciders. Game Glory - From vintage pinball to modern multiplayer madness Unexpected Pizza Win - Far better than any arcade food deserves to be Line Psychology - That "should we stay?" moment vanishes faster than your tokens

    This place is fun. Lots of games new and old. I like the concept of free play for one price. Staff was friendly. I was surprised at how clean it was. I would definitely come back.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Cidercade Austin

    When the parking lot is full, where else can we park?

    There is some street parking nearby, but we highly encourage ride sharing when possible.

    Do you have a mechanical bull for kids to ride?

    No, there is not.

    Do they have tvs?

    I don't think so...at least I don't remember seeing any

    Is this place toddler friendly?

    Sure is! There are some simpler, old school games like skee-ball that might be a fun activity they could participate in. Earlier is better, both to avoid crowds and because it switches to only 21+ after 8pm.

    No 80s nights, but that's a decent idea! Feel free to wear your best 80s attire any time.

    Do they have Mario Cart here?

    I didn't see it. But that doesn't mean they don't have it.

    Is $10/unlimited games a special or is this all the time?

    Entry is $10 per person, and that gets you unlimited play on all the games inside. No specials or gimmicks! That's just what Cidercade does best!

    As there TVs anywhere to watch football games?

    Unfortunately there are no TVs to watch anything.

    Are they dog friendly?

    No they are not

    Is it $10 for kids too? What ages?

    Yes $10 per person - kids and adults. Kids two and older pay.

    Do they have other types of beer, besides cider?

    They have hard cider, with the occasional wine, hard seltzer, and hard kombucha. Here is a link to the menu: https://www.cidercadeaustin.com/

    Do you have to make reservations?

    No, you can just pay admission and go in.

During this visit to Pinstack we got food, played games and did some bowling. The bowling was fun but it's bowling so you should know what to expect. The food was half and half. The Mac and Cheese balls were super super good and my wife and I gobbled those up quick. The fries however, not that great. It's supposed to be "cheese fries" but in actuality it was just a bunch of fries with a small amount of shredded cheese and some sour cream on top. The games were fun but it does cost a lot of points per game to do anything. If you're gonna get a small amount of game credits on your play card, like 20 for example, you'll run out of points quick. I would like to come back again for bowling but I won't rush out the door to come back. I'd say if you're coming here for the first time, get a good amount of credits on your game card or just do bowling. Food is up to you since we only tried 2 appetizers I can't comment too much on it.

    Me and my daughter took my almost 2 year old grandson here on a Friday afternoon, it was my first…read moretime there. When we walked up to the doors they were locked even though the sign says they open at 2pm , it was 2:30pm. A woman walked up & unlocked the doors for us, I just thought maybe it was for safety since it is located in a busy area. But no one was inside just her no other workers or people, it didn't smell like food or popcorn. Even though there was a machine.Very odd so not sure if they sell food or not. Good thing we had eaten before we went! So we pay for the baby to play in the jungle gym which was a very reasonable $5 maybe & $3 for mom to go in with him, she sold us a pair of socks for the baby $3, not bad at all. Even though he only went in once it's very dark and not too appealing. To play the arcade games you put $ on a reloadable card. The games go by points so each point is a quarter. There was plenty of seating area plenty of chairs & tables but just no people! :( I was kind of surprised for it being a Friday afternoon & summer time, no school for the kids. My grand baby immediately runs to the arcade games and they had lot's of toddler friendly rides for him which were all around 3 to 4 points. As we explored the other games I noticed a few broken ones, then as I really took a good look more & more were broken or missing parts. Even the air hockey was broken. I understand a few here & there but no it was a lot, I'm glad I didn't have my teenagers because they didn't have many options for that age group. The neighborhood it's located in is pretty rough so maybe parents just let their kids tear up the place over the years:( Not too sure but I really feel bad for this company. My toddler grandson enjoyed himself, it was pretty reasonable priceI would definitely take him back to play games if it stays in business.

    Very nice place to spend a few hours with the kids…read more We took our 3 grandkids here recently to spend a few hours away from TV and electronics. It's a fairly reasonable place to go on hot summer afternoon. The kids spent an hour running around a large playscape. It always makes me pleased to see them come back to the table nice and sweaty for a drink. We got a pizza which wasn't too bad and a hot dog which he ate all of, so it must have been pretty good too. Then they got to play games and win coupons for "prizes". They each went through a $10 "game card" pretty quickly, but got to pick things they wanted. Although this place isn't squeaky clean, the staff were exceptionally nice. It wasn't terribly packed either, which is great for places like this. During the last 45 minutes unfortunately there was one little girl who was able to scream so loud (and frequently) that I jumped almost every time she let out one of her frequent squeals of joy. Can't blame that on anyone but the parents though and it's rare they'd do anything about it at a place like this.

    I thought I completed the holiday circuit, however, one more to go. Well...I certainly hope so…read more This holiday party was held at Main Event Austin, which I had never frequented. I was not prepared for the sensory explosion I experienced when entering Main Event. Lights, camera, action - bright lights permeated throughout the building, sounds of the games being played sharpened your senses and the roar of the crowd within the building felt like you were nearing the end of a race finish line. Let's talk about this place...Main Event Austin is an ideal location for entertainment and fun for every age group! The venue has an assortment of activities to choose from - bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and billiards. Main Event is perfect for families, friends, or group outings. There were a variety of customers present - bowlers, several groups having private parties in the party rooms towards the back of the facility, billiard players and a plethora of arcade customers. Wow! We had a pizza party with a variety of pizza being served. Drinks were on your own, if you chose to have adult beverages. It is always interesting to see work colleagues in a non-work setting. Dan, our server, was attentive and managed to keep multiple individual tabs straight by assigning a number to each customer. Had fun...felt like a kid again...

    I recently had my son's 9th birthday at this location and needless to say we had several issues…read more I booked online and once I put the $100 deposit, I got an email and text confirming my 12:30pm party for Saturday afternoon. Then several hours later we were notified that our party needed to be pushed back to 2:30pm because of a buyout, ok sure. Main Event coordinator apologized and offered items to make up for the mistake and booking issue. Then I noticed on the contact a 12% service fee ($46 and some change), I asked the event coordinator and she explained that the 12% goes to the event host/server. This was not the case it was a 12% booking fee that goes to the front office staff. WOW! 12% to book online?!?! Seriously?! The server was the one who explained it to me. When I asked the manager on duty she gave me attitude and basically said "you signed the contract so you have to pay it". The day of the party it didn't seem like everyone was on the same page, our host/server did the best he could and apologized several times but it was out of his hands. The pizza came out late and the wings arrived 40 minutes after the pizza. The pizza was not hot and the wing platter turned out to be wings, tenders and nuggets. We ate the wings and tried to return the tenders and nuggets but no manager came to the table. We took care of the host/server with cash tip but we definitely don't recommend this place for birthday parties or gatherings.
