Sad to report this place wasn't somewhere I plan to return. Half the pinballs machines didn't work. Three of the machines got the ball stuck and wouldn't allow me to keep playing. With each game costing one to two dollars I felt a little ripped off I couldn't even finish my game of three balls. The pool table me and my friend played on was quite frankly disgusting. Tons of stains on the table and felt peeling. The balls all chipped and scratched. Also there was some issue with something being stuck when the game was first setup with my friend putting it together but I wasn't paying attention. He had to flag down a worker to help resolve the issue. I get it, things are pricey these days, so a newer business has to find a deal when they can, but at least find a way to improve an already overly used item. I don't expect brand new pool tables, but at least tables that look like the business cares Not to mention the ground and walls were just dirty and gross. Seemed like nobody is really cleaning the place. All the tables tops seemed sticky (if you know you know). The velvet lounge just kinda seemed like a random thrown together area, but maybe on a slow Monday it didn't feel right with lack of people. The workers were great and gave great service, just sadly all the half run down amenities that is supposed to make this place great, makes it pretty lackluster. I guess come if you want the axe throwing? read more

Service is good John even went the extra mile to make me a michie looked for all the ingredients. He's definitely above and beyond . Not to mention he's easy on the eyes. Hottie for sure come down and play some pool ladies he's worth read more

Excellent stop to cool off after wandering the Saturday Sacramento Midtown Market! SITREP Located right on K Street a block down from the Midtown Market's main channel up & down 20th Street, ForePlay is a fun stop that is full of LOTS of distractions of fun and drink to escape the heat. THE SETUP It would be imprecise to call ForePlay just an arade because it also brings in some of the fun carnie elements you'd catch at a State Fair. One of the more eclectic elements is the axe-throwing range! Tons o' fun. FULL BAR The most beneficial aspect of this stop was the full bar, which - after a couple of hours of heat in the sun while wandering the Midtown Market stalls - was a wonderful treat. Coool beer! There is random parking along the streets and some rare off-street parking lots, but limited parking during events. THE LOWDOWN This is a great stop from to duck into from the heat, or for groups making the rounds. I enjoyed watching a bridal shower when I was here! read more

My husband and I have come to Foreplay on weekend evenings to enjoy a drink and play some games. It's an accessible place that is welcoming and I appreciate their commitment to quality service. The pinball options are good and I like that there are throwback games to the 90s. The axe throwing is one game I have yet to try, but it is a little more crowded there since it's near the bar. The well drinks are about standard price and the food is mostly quick service options. I have not tried the food yet. From the few times I have been, it has been a fun experience and it is a great midtown vibe! read more

Love the vibeesss and the staff is really nice too. Definitely have to come back sometime soon

Snacks at the bar and lots of fun activities ! Great staff and clean space ! Perfect for dates and group gatherings. The velvet room can be rented at $200 an hour. There's so much to do that I'd recommend this to anyone looking to get out and try different activities in one place.

Found this spot while we were in town to kill time in the evening. They had good drinks and a variety of games to play. Great for dates. It can get busy after 9-10pm on a weekend. But staff were quick and super nice. We chose to play pool $20/hr because the area is a little more private and we can play without bumping into people. The couches were cute, however, the chairs were a little dusty. Probably needs some attention there. And you'll need small bills to get quarters for the arcade games read more

MARIA WAS THE BEST! She made me such a yummy drink and gave the best hospitality! Definitely made my trip worth visiting

This place is pretty chill with its old school arcade games, draft beer selection, and basement-chic furniture. I was surprised to hear it's been around two years. They have a great selection of video games, pool tables, air hockey, ace throwing, etc. There's cool beer on tap, cocktails, seltzers, and snack food. Beers are $7.50, cocktails between $8.00-$12.00 depending on your poison. Video games are $.25 to $1.00. The bartender was friendly and even let me have a free ace throw because it was my first time there. The old couches are comfortable and there was good music on the stereo. read more

Came for the 4th of July. Very chill place to hangout before the holiday activities. Johnathan was very welcoming and attentive making sure we were okay. Can't wait to come back at night time. read more

Genuinely some of the most apathetic / dismissive bartenders I've ever encountered. Long story short, our bartender seemed annoyed anytime we wanted to order something and was dead silent the entire time. She also didn't know how to make a Negroni, which was embarrassing af. Lil bro actually got on her phone to lookup the recipe. Speaking of drinks, they're also terrible, so there's that. Negroni was watered down and their house cocktails must've been from the seventh circle of flavor hell. read more

Jonathan was a great guy! I appreciate him heavily, he taught us how to throw axes, and he let us play pool. He has a great personality too. 10/10 would recommend being a patron at this spot read more

Foreplay is a great neighborhood hangout. The staff is always friendly and there is a lot to. Pool, pinball, axe throwing, or just hang out in the lounge. No food but there are so many restaurants nearby. read more

Recently, I visited Sacramento for a conference, and one of my friends mentioned this location as a place to visit after the conference was done. I have gone axe throwing before and decided that this would be a great opportunity to visit and hang out with some friends. First, this place has to be one of the chillest locations ever for an axe-throwing venue. The people, the host, and the workers are all super polite and upbeat. They even take the time to help you get better at throwing your axe. Additionally, they have some great selections of beer on tap, and for those that don't drink, they have fountain drinks. If you aren't into axe throwing, and just want a place to hangout, this is a great location to do so as well. They have older arcard games, some pool tables, foosball, pop a shot, and more. It has something for everyone. read more
