Be aware though, there's a very slight gap in the doorway. The parking lot is right in front. Seems like plenty of spots though it was almost full when we arrived on an early Sunday evening. Doesn't seem like it would take long to find a spot though. Ernie and Sarah helped us out at the counter. Really nice and helpful employees. Ernie gave us stickers too. There are so many fun games here. They have pinball, rhythm games, old school fighting games and physical games like the mario sonic olympics. Crazy how "heavy" the older pinball machines games feel, like Pirates of the Carribean. I was having a blast with the X-men and Deadpool machines though. They also have a big screen for the latest Mortal Kombat game. You just need to ask for controllers. Ernie informed us they have all day sale options on certain days as well. A great experience!

I don't recommend this place simply because it didn't feel as inviting and welcoming as any other…read moreplace in America. It's not open to the public (as in you are not allowed to go in unless you pay). The owners guard the entrance/near the front door inside and you can't really walk in and go around to check out the games first unless you pay. It was just about a few feet is what we were able to look at inside and only up to the parking lot is all we were able to see. As you walk in, you'll be standing at the front while they stare at you. The owner just stared and made a comment "It looks like you've never been here" No S lady. It was our first time, recommended by the McDonald's Museum across the street. She stated what their rates were. The owner did offer to have her husband escort us to walk around if we wanted to look at the place. Although we may have looked young, we're not little kids. We didn't feel like being chaperoned by an adult. We're 4 decades old. If the whole place runs by itself without the need of physical money, how would they even know who's playing the 30min package or the 1hr? If they use a prepaid players digital card, then a chaperone wouldn't be needed if we can't play the games anyway. We don't know anyone there or wouldn't need to cheat to play for free from others. Needless to say, we didn't see much. Just up to the door while they guarded it. Too bad, we would've enjoyed the place, but instead we were greeted with a cold welcome. Judging by this place, I see the owners like to respond to every comment/review. To the owner, if you're reading this, please don't bother replying. We won't be reading it. We already got the point. To those reading this in response to the owner, please believe me when I say this is an honest review, and real customer service experience. I'm a minority in this area AND NEW so, maybe they judge differently. Edit: lol the owner STILL replied although we already mentioned their comment was not needed. Hard-headed much..?

Man, I gotta say this place surprised me in a good way. Empire Bowl feels modern and clean, but at…read morethe same time it has that early 2000s bowling alley vibe that a lot of spots lost when they tried to get too fancy. The lights, arcade machines, and the whole setup just hit that sweet spot where it feels fun and nostalgic but still updated. The lanes were in great shape, scoring screens worked perfectly, and the arcade area actually had games people want to play. It's the kind of place where you can bowl a few games, grab some snacks, mess around in the arcade, and just hang out without it feeling dead or outdated. The atmosphere is lively without being chaotic. Honestly, this is what a 5-star bowling alley should be, good lanes, good lighting, fun arcade, decent food, and a vibe where you actually want to stay longer than one game. And I'm just gonna say it... way better than Bowlero. Bowlero feels overpriced and corporate, like they tried to turn bowling into a nightclub. Empire Bowl just keeps it real and actually focuses on making bowling fun. Definitely coming back.

BEST ARCADE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE!…read more There is nothing shy of impressive when it comes to this arcade and bar. My first time here was a mind blowing experience, and since... well, I never have yet ceased to be amazed with all that they have to offer here. I've been a regular for about 2-3 years now and I have not let up on visiting here regularly. The service at the bar is always awesome! All the staff are nothing but friendly. Much respect to security. The many choices of things to order at the bar are just as plentiful as all the arcades they have to offer. From pinball machines, to retro arcades, to the classic ski-ball and air hockey... they have just about everything! Even Street Fighter II and classic Mario Bros! Too much to name! If you have not been here ever, you gotta come visit! Gambatte and Kanpai!

I do wish there were more games, but it's still a pretty solid space with a great bar. I'd love to come when they're hosting special events in the future! The pinball wall is pretty awesome lol we moved out to this area from OC recently and I'm so glad there are spots like this! Can't wait to come back.

TLDR: Great Value (no tokens), new and old school games, and a super chill staff…read more First of all, let me say that it's not every day that a new business opens in San Bernardino especially a an independently owned one. Second, and maybe more importantly, they built an arcade that perfectly matches my memory of being a kid in the 90s being able to play for hours and just have a great time. The extras I'll add is that instead of having to pay for tokens then make it really simple and you just pay by the hour or day and just play all the games however long you want. This makes it a great value for families. This opened the door for me finally trying to beat the X-Men game from the 90s. I still wasn't able to beat that darn thing. But maybe I could join forces with my three boys and go back and finally beat the game. They beat me in my entire childhood. They have a lot of other cool stuff like console games in air hockey. I just saw that they do birthday parties too, so that's cool. The staff was beyond friendly, they just get it. They know what they're doing. They know why they're doing it and you can just tell. Overall, I just super recommend this place. If you just wanna stop by for an hour, play all day, happy birthday party here, or if you're super hard-core, I want to do one of the competitions that they run go for it.

When we first walked in, the place was completely empty and small so we felt weird sticking around. We went to some stores and came back when a few more people walked in. They have some arcade games, mini golf, and small escape rooms. We tried out an escape room and some games. The arcade games are pretty pricey to play so it was easy to blow through your reloadable card. The escape room was somewhat challenging, we were told not to be too aggressive with anything in the room but one of the items you had to be somewhat forceful with to progress so we lost - but that's okay! Overall, maybe it would be fun for younger kids or if you have more people in your group. But for us, there wasn't enough game options and it just felt pretty empty.

They were 6 teenagers, excited to play and have fun, yet they were kicked out of the game for no valid reason. The kids were simply laughing, enjoying themselves, and behaving like any normal group of teenagers, but the staff member didn't accept that they were having fun and acted rude and unfair toward them. It's unacceptable that a place that is supposed to provide fun treats young people this way--especially on such an important day like a birthday celebration. I do not recommend this place for family events or groups of teens. Very disappointing. It's also illogical and upsetting how they managed to ruin such a special day for my son and his friends over something so minor. A complete lack of professionalism and empathy.

Last year, he wanted to have his birthday party there with 10+ players. My boyfriend contacted Devin, the owner, regarding pricing for the event. We were all very happy with the price and time and experience. We were able to bring our own food and decor and because our party was so large, we had the whole floor to our own party. I do struggle with vertigo and sometimes certain visual experiences (VR, 3D videos, and certain screens on rides) can make me nauseous and feel like I will pass out, so I did need to take a break during the last shooting game due to dizziness. That was no problem at all because I got to enjoy watching my friends run around and play while I enjoyed some food. Devin has cultivated such a safe and enjoyable space. You can tell he loves what he does at Noobs. We will be back, introducing more and more people to this amazing experience!

The story kicks off the moment you walk in, and you're instantly immersed in the game. Ivette, our game master, was truly amazing at getting us into the story right away and kept us engaged the entire time. The building is a little tricky to find, so don't hesitate to give them a call if you're having trouble, but trust me, it's soooo worth it. We absolutely LOVED this escape room and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and thrilling experience
