Fantastic Family Fun -- and Beware of the Claw Machines! For our grandson's 9th birthday, we decided to venture to Cidercade Fort Worth, and what a fantastic choice! Admission was $12 per person, and nearly all the arcade games are included with admission. Play as much as you want! We easily spent 3-4 hours here, and everyone had a great time. With the Texas temperatures blazing outside, an air-conditioned arcade was also a pretty darn good place to spend the afternoon! There is a huge selection of games with plenty for both kids and adults. Basketball, racing, classic arcade games--you can wander around for hours. Then my son-in-law discovered the claw machines. Once he started, it snowballed into stuffed toy after stuffed toy. By the time he was finished, we had enough stuffed animals spread across the table to open our own toy store! Be warned, though: the claw machines are NOT included with admission and you pay separately to play. Apparently nobody bothered explaining that to my son-in-law before he went into full claw-machine domination mode! We also ordered pizza, and it was very good. It's a thin-crust style, loaded with toppings and made for a perfect break between games. Of course, with a name like Cidercade, we had to sample the cider! There were plenty of choices, and the ones we tried were very good. For $12 admission and several hours of entertainment, I think Cidercade is an outstanding value. More importantly, our grandson had a fantastic birthday outing and the entire family enjoyed themselves. Great games, good pizza, plenty of cider and a table full of stuffed animals we somehow had to get home. That's a successful birthday! Definitely a 5-star experience for us! read more

If you're planning a weekend visit, I highly recommend arriving around opening time. Parking can be a 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. read more

4 Stars? Let me tell you why. 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. read more

A great inexpensive place for family, kids or even for a date. It cost $12 for a full day pass. Every game is free except for those that distribute tickets: game card is needed for those. The pizza size makes them shareable and the ciders are very good! I had peach tea and pineapple and I'd highly recommend those! The staff were all nice and helpful. read more

Large place full of ok old games. A lot of new and some in Chinese. So who knows what they say. Great place to kill and hour or two. Great for the whole fam. Didn't try food but look well done the only downside was the beer selection. Not everyone likes this "craft" beer. To me is nasty. And tht is all they sell. My taste buds are like I just ate a bad apple. Disgusting. And I love how they say, oh "it's like a modelo". No sir. Nowhere near!!! Stop trying to to push something no one cares for! Sell it, fine. I'll even pay one more dollar to get a normal beer!! read more

So my first ever cidercade experience was at this location for a meetup my older kid had with some friends that had moved over here. That visit we had an off putting initial exchange with the guy doing check in; who told my kid to throw away their plastic water bottle. I offered to put it in my bag cause they needed it for some medications theg were taking at the time but the only options was leave it at the bar, toss it, or take it to the car and get a free water from the food station. I get not wanting spills but both the cider cups and water cups offer no lids and my kids water had a lid and could go in a bag. I think we caught this guy on a bad day because we have not had that issue again. Though we learned our lesson and if we had a water we stuck it in my bag. At another locations they explained they are actually fine with water bottles ... They ask just don't be obvious about it...just don't want people bringing in things like starbucks drinks or sonic drinks that take away from their drink sales or could be sneaking in something that could cost them their serving license. Which I 100% get! Food wise; the pizza here is pretty solid! Of the cidercades I go to I think this is the one I would most likely get food at. (Arlington being number two but that's because they have to many other good places walking distance!!) Every other time we've come to this one; which read more

First visit here for a kids birthday party... decor for holidays were still up and incredible! Immediately knew this place was a gem... claw machines right when you walk in... and just beyond the entrance, a few multi player arcade games and many standalone units were within eyesight... then walking through the neon hallway... was in awe! Skeeball, motor bike games, racing games, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and nearly every variety of PacMan ever! Look right, air hockey and dozens of other arcade games Look left, old school pinball games and dozens of more arcade games Look straight ahead... the cider bar & kitchen... and MORE arcade games and pool tables! Plan to spend the day... a few hours is not nearly enough time!!! Service for the party was very organized and very attentive! They ordered a variety of pizzas for the kids which were fresh made and tasted good for arcade pizzas. I would love to come back and relive some old school gaming nostalgia! Foosball, beer pong, Centipede and Donkey Kong! What a great place! read more

We came out to Cidercade in Ft Worth since I've mainly gone to the one in Arlington. This location has a ski-ball option as part of its open play. There are some pay as you go claw machines. My one complaint is that one of my kids favorite games ... a ninja turtle game ... is in a pay as you go. At all 3 other locations we've been too it's included in open play. Which disappointed our younger kid. We finally tried food here due to us having a coupon in the app. Which I recommend joining their rewards. The food is better than what I expected from arcade food. read more

We came here to cap off a day of bonding before the first day of work. I've been to the one in Houston. This was my first time at the Fort Worth location. There truly is something for everyone. $12 is all you need. You get unlimited games all day. There is much variety. There's plenty of co-op games. There's also plenty of solo games. For me, I'm a big fan of pin-ball and they did not disappoint in that department. There were about five rows with about 6 machines each. No high score though for me so I think there may be something faulty with the machines that day. There's also a good selection of food. Work was paying so I went ahead and got the truffle pizza. It's like a fancy mushroom sausage pizza with truffle cream to top it off. It tasted great. Strong savory and not overwhelming at all. I tried a bit of the pepperoni and that was good as well. Altogether, highly recommend this place. Great value, lots of fun, and good food too. read more

This place is packed on a Saturday night! There were plenty of employees but new folks seemed to come in big waves to the front and back bar so the line was never short after 8pm. I drank the Crackberry (vet tart, nice flavor) and lavender and pomegranate (odd threeway flavor but loved it) ciders and enjoyed them both. Before 9pm minor lockout time, it was incredibly loud and every possible machine was being camped at but it was slightly less crowded during adult time. They could argue for a new room with perhaps more foreign games to spread the crowd a bit more. read more

Honestly, the scenery here was amazing. We came during the Halloween season, and the whole place had such a fun, festive vibe that I keep replaying the experience in my head. The food was great, the atmosphere was spot-on, and everyone we met was super friendly. I couldn't stay too long, though -- had to give everyone else a fair shot at winning ‍. Such a good time overall. read more

This place is so much fun. Entry is $12 for unlimited games all day. The cider is amazing. We tried just about every flavor and there wasn't a single one we didn't like. Ciders are around $6-9 & are worth it. Downside is all the best games (Mario Kart, Ski Ball, Basketball, Guitar Hero, Pool) were packed. They had a really long line for each of them. There weren't enough machines open for everyone & there were so many kids running around. If you're going as a couple, definitely come after 9pm because it's 18+ after 9. There are a ton of 2 player games to play so this place is perfect for a date night. Parking is not good. There is a small parking lot next to the building but it fills up fast. There is paid parking on the street on the side of the establishment or you can park in the residential neighborhood down the street. They have a room full of newer games as well that cost money in the very back. They have tons of places to sit & eat & have great food. They have swing seats at some of the tables outside. read more

Really fun place to spend an hour or few hours. It's a cool concept that I never experienced when I lived in California, but you go in and pay an entrance fee (at the time of posting this it's $12/person) and you can play all the arcade games inside, unlimited. No need to get any tokens and no change machines. This is why you can spend hours here. They have a variety of different games from different eras. They even have pinball machines and pool tables. Husband and I liked going after 9pm because it's 18+. At one point, we had a membership, which was $20/person/month. I don't know if they still offer the membership. When we had the membership, we were going here at least once a week so it was an awesome deal. We got food here once because I was starving. I ordered the truffle pizza. They cook it made to order in their stone hearth pizza oven. It was delicious. I'm such a sucker for truffle, especially on pizza. The ciders are also very delicious. They have a wide selection of ciders, depending on if you want sweet, dry, tart. If you're a member, you can get a discount on their ciders. Love love this place! You can also make table reservations if you're celebrating a special occasion here. read more

This place is awesome! We had a blast going as a family and ending staying over 4 hours and none of us wanted to leave. They have a great menu. It's simple but the pizza was delicious honestly it had no business being that good at an arcade. So many games. So many retro memories and I loved getting to experience it all with my family. We got cool parent points and it was nice to find a place that both my kids who have a big age gap could enjoy. Staff was so friendly. Also if you download the app you can get lots of free goodies. read more

Service was awful. Bartender cut me off after two drinks and told me I had to wait 30 minutes until I order another drink, I was here for 2 hours beforehand. They also closed an hour and half early on a Friday night when their hours were posted for 1 am close. I would NOT come back. read more

Updated... still fun and a great place to bring the family or date night. They are now decorated for Halloween with some cool props. Makes it more exciting. We didn't eat there, but I got a cider and it was good. Service at the front was nice for check in, but the cider bartender in the back could use a hug or something. The pickle pizza sounds interesting! I would try that next time. I wish you could get pizza by the slice instead of buying a whole one. Hint hint Looks like a great place for a birthday party or group event. Totally worth the price! Tips: Parking is across the street and it's a weird turn in at the intersection, so be careful. read more

We checked out Cidercade on a Sunday afternoon, just looking for something different to do. It turned out to be a pretty interesting spot with a huge selection of arcade and video games, ranging from super vintage classics to modern favorites. On top of that, they also have pool, shuffleboard, and a 20x20 dance floor-style game, which added to the variety of entertainment. It's a cool concept, and they offer food and drinks, with options for both kids and adults, including a solid selection of ciders and other beverages. Kind of self serve, which was expected, but the people behind the bar and food areas were friendly so that's cool. I think this would be a great place to bring a group of kids to burn off some energy while the adults enjoy a cold drink. However, for a group of just adults, I'd probably opt for a bar instead. Still, it was a fun and different experience, and I'm glad we checked it out. Definitely worth considering if you're looking for a casual, arcade-style outing. read more

So ended up at this place to hang out with some friends on a Saturday at 5pm , my first suggestion is don't go until 8pm when it's 21 and up cause when it's full of kids it's super annoying lol. Alright not I understand it's literally called Cidercade but I was really surprised they don't have anything else at all, not even beer. I was hopeful about the pizza they offer as " Artisan pizza" and it's the only food they serve, well first of all it was $14 for this little pizza with just pepperoni and jalapeño, second it took way too long, third the flavor was good but the crust left a lot to be desired. This is not artisan pizza. The game selection is pretty good and the cider wasn't bad either, overall it's a cool place just eat before you go and go after 8pm read more

My family's first experience here was a hit! My hubby & 6 y/o really enjoyed the variety of old school and modern games. A truly fun place for all ages! Pizza was thin crust and tasty ; all are 10 inches. Service is efficient and helpful. Some pizza/cider combo deals online. Price to play is affordable for ages 5+. Free to kids 4 and under. Ages 21+ only after 9pm fyi. Parking lots are adequate across the street. We all had a great time! Excited to go back. read more

We decided to do a company outing, and Cidercade won the most votes. Upon arrival, they have a parking lot in the front that was full since it was around 5:00pmish on a Friday. I didn't feel like street parking since you do tread into the residential area if it gets super packed. Luckily, I found some parking in the back of the building next to Splinters Axes & Ales. This place surely exceeded my expectation. Think arcade, food, and cider! The foodie in me would talk about the grub first. Their 10" thin-crust pizzas were delicious. I love how they have the flexibility of substituting the crust to either gluten-free or cauliflower for an extra free. The margherita pizza was light, flavorful, and yummy. The meat lover's pizza was on the drier side, but just as good. One of my coworkers was not a fan of pizza in general, so she opted for the cinnamon roll pizza that was a little too sweet for her palate. They also offer salads if you are avoiding carb overload. As for drinks, I had the unlimited soda, but in reality could only finish one cup of soda. Let's talk about the games. I had loads of fun playing Pac-Man and basketball arcade. Be prepared for pinball machines, pool tables, etc. The machines may look like you need tokens or coins, but the games are unlimited with the admission fee. It's definitely a great atmosphere for both the young and old to have a good time. Service was fast and efficient. I shall be back in the future. read more

Now this is an arcade! When I first heard of Cidercade I was cautiously optimistic that a place would finally get the bar-arcade concept right and I think they did here. For those that have fond memories of the arcades of their youth, all the classics are here: Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter 2, Double Dragon, Rampage, Pac-Man, Galaga, and more. There are plenty of shooter and racing games as well, both old and new. They have pinball, pool tables, and air hockey as well. Most importantly, there are places to actually set your drink between each arcade game unit, an area where other bar-cade concepts have failed. I really do like their concept here as well - 12 dollars for all you can play. Gone are the days of continuously plugging in quarters or tokens, so you're at liberty to try all the games you want. Cidercade Fort Worth is set in an old warehouse off 8th - nice to see these old buildings get second life and it makes for a good fit here, as this place is massive. You'll walk through two smaller rooms from the front entrance, still filled with games, before you get to the main area that has the bar, pizza ovens, and patio access. The pizzas too, are actually quite good. They churn these things out in 10-15 minutes and I think that is by design. Won't win any awards, but solid thin crust pizza and I found the special Chicken Parm to be to my liking. I don't drink cider much, but they do have plenty of choices to keep things fresh for you there as well. All in all, I really enjoyed our outing here and plan to be back, especially during on hot days like the ones we've had. read more

Hubby and I went here for a date day that turned into a date day/night. We ate drank and played from noon to 10pm. Enjoyed the retro games and set up was nice even with a lot of people it wasn't over crowded and we were able to play all the games we love. read more

I had been hesitant to come to the place because I'm not a fan of ciders. My friend was having her son's birthday party here, so we had the opportunity to try it out. Since this is an all you can play arcade, there is a cover charge for everyone, I believe it was around $12. They give you different wrist bands depending on your age. The inside is much, much larger than it looks on the outside. There are games to suit everyone's interests. They also have ski ball, air hockey (the table is awful though), shuffle board, and basketball. There is a small outside area with some tables and the chairs are actually swings. Really cute! There are 2 bars, one when you first come in, and one in the back room. There is also a kitchen in the back room. I didn't go to that counter, so I'm not sure what all they have, but my friend ordered some pizza for the kids and it was really good! I will say that my opinion has changed about ciders. I tried a few different ones, and they were actually pretty tasty. This is a great place to take the kiddos to beat the heat during these long, hot summers. read more

I was embtween 3 and four stars for this business. As you enter, you and all guests over 18 must pay a $12 one time fee, to enjoy mostly all of the locations activities. The location was bigger than expected, and my gf and I had a great time. Unfortunately we came to this location to compete against each other in our fierce pac man rivalry, however, most of their Pac-Man machines were too fast, or unlike the original and were slightly disappointing, other than that the location was very enjoyable and had three or four rooms to choose from a different old-school arcade, games and old-school shooting games or music, games, and basketball, my only other slightly negative detail is the fact that if you want to get a fountain drink or any drink it's six or eight dollars, and there was a fourth room that had air hockey tables and other fun games and claw machines, and you couldn't play those with just the $12, you had to get a game card and do sort of a Dave & Buster's-type of exchange, on top of the $12 already. Environment and staff were A+ read more

They offer a variety of things to choose from kinda of a New School twist on the old classics fast foods. The service is self serve as you can place orders on kiosk or at drink bar. Super duper fun time with a lot and i mean a lot of the classics games. This is a a play ground for all ages. read more

Great fun for me and my grandchildren, pizza was great and drinks were flowing. Will be going back!!

Cidercade is a cool place for kids and adults! Once inside, there are so many activities and fun things to do, including over 275 arcade games, Skee-Ball, air hockey, pinball, pool tables, shuffleboard, just to name a few. No quarters, bills, or tokens needed . The games and attractions are all set to free play at this arcade. 12$ all day is a decent price My kids enjoyed a Thursday afternoon from 2p-6pm playing the arcade games, eating pizza and interacting with other kids there. They really enjoyed the Mario kart car game ,because you can stir and drive like in a real car. The pizza is small, more like a personal for about $12, but really good. We ended up getting 3 of them with unlimited refill soda cups for 4$ each. I like this location because they serve" food "pizza, unlike Dallas locations . The cranberry spiked cider and apple had a little kick. The bartender recommended some flavors, and let me sample to see which I would like. My hubby only tried one. After 8p it's only 21+adults, No kids in the building. Overall it's a cool place. Only thing is they need more food options to serve, instead of just only pizza. read more

Came for the games, stayed for the cider and pizza. The cider selection is one of the best you will find anywhere (over 16 last time we went) The pizza is a sleeper (especially the pickle) Amazing variety of games that always being updated, plus all the classics.

Y'all!!! This place was fun! Hubs and I took our son who is 6 on a Saturday around 12. Not too busy when we arrived and we were able to check the place out. It's huge. All the games you want are there. Once it got later as we stayed 4 hours it was busier and some games had a line waiting - Mario kart, Halo but that's because those are favorites. I don't really drink cider so had to ask for suggestions. The ranch water was pretty good and the strawberry one was as well. They mentioned one that was like champagne also that was probably worth a try. The bathroom tho - it was the coldest bathroom i have ever been in. I went a few times more than i needed to just to cool off. We will most definitely be back read more

Such an amazing place for the entire family. Came for an hour and stayed a few! Best family day

Visited on 6/25/23 as I had never been. Good to know that children under 4 are free. Cool, fun setup but OMG it was sooooo hot. Part of why we chose coming here was to go somewhere with 3 kiddos out of the heat. All 5 of us were miserably hot and sweating. Made for a not so fun experience and grumpy kiddos who didn't even want to stay. Beer was good and cold. Lots of new and old games to play and loved seeing the huge variety. Not sure I will be back anytime soon if it is hot like that on a regular basis. read more

Extremely crowded, smelled horrible. They charge for everyone regardless if you are playing. Do not recommend.

Went here for a date night. I've been to other arcades in Dallas including the Cidercade there. This one is by far the best. It's huge, has tons of different types of games, and was clean. We each got one drink and they were good. Didn't have any food because we had a reservation elsewhere. We had such a good time that after we ate, we came back. read more
