Venturing into the former (what I thought would be vacant) Keg and Case, I slowly discovered a…read moretotally fresh concept with what appeared to be pinball only machines setup on the exterior level at first glance. Upon further investigation, I learned how it all works post speaking with the staff member. First off, the pinball exterior machines are ran by a totally different company than Starcade and all those machines are .25 cents each. Starcade is stucked inside the former giant main restaurant of Keg and Case which offers unlimited gaming for $20. All the machines are set to free play after you pay the fee. There is a bar serving basic snacks such as chips, pizza and on tap local sodas. The liquor license was just recently obtained and the staff seems to think this will get rolling out within the next few months. I'm not a gamer, yet I can tell you lots of games exist vs. just pinball like the exterior. Inside Starcade, you will find both a main level and upstairs (where the former brewery was). It's dark, there are fun twinkle lights and LED signs. Starcade used to be located within Rosedale Mall so come give a warm welcome to them as they lay roots in Saint Paul! I look forward to returning and trying some games. It has a Can Can Wonderland feel but less complex. I'm very glad the building is getting used as it's a beautiful venue. Enjoy!

This place has probably any game you can think of to play. And you just pay a flat fee for free play! They have rock band, pac-man, mortal combat, fix it Felix, Tetris, classic super Mario bros, N64, and tons of pinball machines to name just a few. The kids also found a room in the back where they could watch a movie on a big projector screen. I think you can even do birthday parties here! There is absolutely plenty of space. What was even cuter, the owners cat actually runs the place! Will definitely return for a fun gaming experience

All entrants pay an admission fee (kids under 5 years are free), and all video games, kids rides, and older-style games are free to play. Mini golf and some other activities are Ala carte. There is street parking and an underground parking lot, but, on weekends, parking can be tough to find. There is a cafe to purchase food. Options are flatbreads, baskets, tacos, and more. The food quality is pretty good, but pricey. I get it. The place probably has large overhead costs, so a business needs to make its margins. There is also a beverage wall with various kinds of drinks (mostly-all (?) alcoholic), which are self-pour. I forgot to take photos. Trust me when I say the place is very unique and is great to check out. Pros: - Great place to bring kids - The older-style games are very amusing Cons: - Food is on the pricier side

Updating my review as it turned out the noise issue with the extremely loud speakers was not a…read morepolicy. It was merely some employee cranking up the internal sound system too high. It was explained to me that the whole thing was run off an iPad in the back room. We went for New Year's Eve had a lovely time, food was great as usual. They even brought out one of my favourite pinball machines as a request. The only thing I could knock a star down for was I paid over $10 for probably the worst milkshake I've ever had. Seriously, the milkshake wasn't much thicker than water. And it was very small. Other than that, I'll just remember not to get the ice cream next time. The best thing about Can-Can Wonderland is the fact that it's a real arcade, not a kiddie ticket casino. And in the evening it becomes a very nice adults only place but still doesn't feel like you're gonna get in a bar fight but you can simply just have a good time..

Kids can try out bumper cars, laser tag, playground, ball pit, VR games, air hockey, claw machines, arcade games and more! Charge each hand to your card which connects points to purchase stuff from the store at the end if you want. Lastly, you buy a package as your ticket to get in. Each package offers access to some or all of the areas to play during your time here. The price goes up the more you have access to. Same as the birthday packages.

We did the $18.99 nutty professor weekday deal with $7 ropes course add-on. Highly recommend the ropes course, which was the highlight of their day, and I could tell it really built their confidence! Kids also enjoyed the laser beam challenge, the valloroom game, and bumper ride. We didn't do the arcade or the VR but it was still plenty and the kids were super happy to spend the afternoon here! Did not get a chance to try the food but they seemed to have lots of options.

I am not a fan of bowling. But a very good friend had a birthday party here, and for them, I bowl…read more Ambiance is hard to describe. A bit MAGA, a bit video arcade that's actually gambling, and lots of bowling. My rental shoes were old. Frayed. There were many in the group who got new ones though, so clearly a mix. The way you enter your names at the lanes is a bit antiquated, but easy to figure out and use, so a win. Drinks were not strong and very affordable, food was very average. Staff were pleasant enough. Look, bowling is not my thing, and I have no disrespect for folks for whom it is their thing. But even with it not being my thing, the experience was generally good. Would I do it again? Probably not, but that's about me, not about Pinz.

This is my 2nd time here. First time was for a birthday party. They had rented out the pickleball courts and I recalled the food variety and taste as memorable and delicious. This time around, I found myself here again for a Yelp party event. Once again, I had such a great time. I kicked off the evening with a drink, tots, buffalo shrimp bites, and a bao. Drink was so pretty with the purple butterfly tea with the lemonade. Garnished to perfection. My server was very friendly, too! Then made my way to the yelp party. The food catered in was outstanding! Again, loads of variety. Each platter was made with perfection. I just love this place and highly recommend!

They have a full bar with limited seating, two patio areas (one in the front and one in the back, and an upstairs party deck. They have old 80s wrestling playing on the televisions, which took me back to my childhood. The place is full of retro video games, pinball machines, skeeball, and there are a couple of video game consoles. The place has very nice, attentive bar staff. They serve some 80s-themed signature cocktails, such as the TMN Tea, Mike Tyson's Drunk Out, Macha Man Randy Savage and the People's Margarita, and have a huge assortment of tap beer. I tried both and they were really good. The cocktails are stiff and savory. Be careful when ordering some beer, though; some of them are THC-infused. Drinking those may get you in trouble at certain jobs. I got the Princess Peach Punch and Raspberry Cider tap beer. The place has a mixed crowd, age-wise. There were 21-year-olds to 60-year-olds. It was a pretty low-key spot that has specials every night. They have limited food options that feature pizza. There weren't many people there while I was there, but it was still a really fun place. I enjoyed my time there. I recommend checking this spot out.
