    Arcade games. Stopped in before the farmers market for a drink. Bottomless mimosas sundays.

    Trivia night Wednesday at 7pm Fun! Also you can win a gift card. Maria is always a welcomed blessing of a bartender. Bring your ID. The velvet lounge doesn't disappoint.

    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!

    First time at foreplay just moved from Fresno to Sacramento & it's a great spot filled with games and great selection & drinks John had bunch of drinks up his sleeve and knew exactly how to prefect our drinks to our liking definetly will come hang out at this spot again !

    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

    Frogged!

    Traded my old box of PS3 and games in for $270 store credit. Yes, I could have maybe gotten a bit…read moremore if I DIY. But, this store pricing is more than fair. Came by and bought some Nintendo Switch games. Decent selection and friendly staff. Overall, it is good to support local business. I rather this store exist, than another corporate store with no personality.

    1-Up Retro Video Games…read more My girl and I randomly stumbled across this place while we were just walking around, and as soon as I saw the sign, I told myself, I have to go in here! I grew up playing video games, and I still play here and there, so I already knew this place was going to be pure nostalgia for me and it definitely was. I was a kid in a candy story and totally geeking out! Walking around the store brought back so many childhood memories. They had games I honestly haven't seen in over 30 years, along with all kinds of consoles and games from different generations. Some of these games I probably would never play again, but just seeing them on the shelves took me back. It was cool seeing the old-school Nintendo video game magazines. Some of those magazines have to be close to 30 years old! The entire store was basically one big nostalgia trip. I didn't end up buying anything, but I still enjoyed just walking around and checking everything out. If you grew up gaming or have played on different systems over the past 40 years, this is definitely a place worth checking out.
