I had a great time playing their beat games alongside their more modern games such as a switch and Xbox game station. The workers were there were really nice and explained the process well. When we went they were missing some games so I am excited to return when they have the full line-up. It was $15 for unlimited gameplay on Saturday which felt fair and my partner and I spent 3 hours just playing our favorites and trying new games.

Very big plus is our beers were half off because we also stumbled upon happy hours. The whole place was pretty big, and had a good arcade section.

For their arcade, you have to use a card that you buy credits on to. In our opinion, the games were a little expensive. I think it's more directed towards parents who want to drink and offload their kids in this area, but for those of us already spending a good amount on drinks, the price on the games kinda sucks. We're used to a cover for all you can play or something a little more affordable. They do have a lot of great, newer games. It definitely kept us entertained for a while. They also had a great variety. It was pretty empty when we got there a little after lunch, but by 4pm or so it started raining and they were PACKED. The drinks were good, nothing special. A couple draft cocktails that tasted like you would expect. Some good beer options. It's a great spot in the area, huge bar area that can fit a lot of people and a really great patio.

They have so many games and activities to enjoy including mini golf, an arcade and bowling. They also have a karaoke room but it's like $50 an hour and the weekday and $100 on the weekends, which is ridiculous. The food is good. The burgers are huge and so are the wings. If you don't like big wings I would skip them but they were delicious

My friends and I stopped in for a beer and something to eat. We sat at the bar and the service was…read morepretty good. The first surprise was that they hardly had any local beer options and most of them were sold in cans. With all of the great breweries in RVA, that's a big miss. Other places like this have significantly more draft options, including a lot of offering from both local and smaller breweries. I was hungry, but didn't find anything that looked appetizing on their menu (which had a lot of fried options and pizzas that were too big for one person), but my friends opted for the cheesesteak and and order of bbq wings, which were absolutely smothered in sauce. Neither was terribly impressed with their food. Overall, this place has a lot of potential, but it misses the mark.

This was my first time at River City Roll, and it has gone on the list of things to do when I am in…read morethe Richmond area. I will honestly even make the trip up just to come hang out at River City. When you walk inside you have a hostess stand where someone is waiting the help you out. Everyone that we had contact with employee wise were great. Everyone was helpful, kind, and professional We ate first while we waited for our lanes to be open. There is absolutely no complaint about the food here. Everything was great. I had a BLT sandwich. It was jam packed with crispy bacon that I asked for, lettuce, tomato, mayo sandwiched between 2 thick slices of bread. The pizzas looked delicious. They are made in a fire pizza oven. All of the food came out piping hot. Out waitress was great. She was attentive and made sure everything came out, and our drinks were always filled. The waffles were a perfect sweetness, and had a good amount of berries and paired with syrup that I think was maple syrup. My friends, and husband raved about their drink with alcohol. So kudos to the bartenders. The dry rub wings had a great crispy to them and they did not lack seasoning. Lastly, get the cheddar biscuits. They are made fresh, and had great flavor. They had scoop of butter, grape and strawberry jelly. When it came time for bowling. Our bill and drinks were transferred over to the alley tab. Our shoes were waiting for us at the lanes. Bowling was a breeze, and navigating the computer system to keep score was easy. The seating in the alleys were leather couches, and a table to have food at. There was a waitress walking around getting anything we needs, like food, drinks or problems that needed to be solved. Bathrooms were clean and amusing with signage. It made me giggle. The supplies were well stocked. The alleys and property inside and out were very clean. The surrounding area seems to be making a change, but it is still questionable in some areas, and there is a lot of construction nearby. I always felt safe though. There was a misunderstanding with the reservation process and turns out we never had a reservation. Either way Ben stepped up and just made things right. He was great. He took care of us. Customer service is over 5 stars!

Some of the most creative things can be found at Gallery 5. It's a spot I'd recommend every local check out at least once. My favorite feature is when the weather is just right, they open up the space to get fresh air in. It makes for a beautiful farm house look. The drinks are priced just right here and the bartenders are wonderful. You are able to purchase tickets for shows ahead of time or in person. If you purchase them ahead of time, they'll usually have your name on a list at the front. Gallery 5 is a very hip and chill spot. It's great for big events or relaxed evenings. You can see their full lineup of events on their website's calendar. There is free street parking nearby and a lot of other great local businesses to check out not too far away. I highly recommend checking out Gallery 5.
