    I've been a regular visitor to Free Play since they opened and cannot say anything negative about this place. It rocks. It has everything! Old school games along with a good selection of rotating pinball machines. Great bar selections and service. The price point is excellent,you get all the game time you want plus access to the cool rooftop area. Free Place is a great post dinner spot or a rainy day hangout.

    Great place to hang out! A flat entry fee gets you access to a huge room of various video games and pinball machines from multiple eras.

    This place rise fun to take the kids and fun to go with other adults. I am an 80s kid so they have all the games we used to play back in the day. It also has pinball machines (a lot of them!) which my husband loves. Area 51 is a favorite and even tho i have the most recent Mario cart the one they have is super fun.

    Tons of retro games and pinball. They have a bar with a great selection. Tons of beers on tap. The parking isn't the best on a Saturday morning but we were able to find a spot on the street around the corner. We arrived a little after opening on Saturday and played for about an hour with less than 15 people in the whole arcade. They have about 12 pinball machines some older games like Pirates of The Caribbean, Terminator, and Black Night 2000. Newer games: Guardians of the Galaxy, Ninja Turtles, Avengers, Star Trek, Star Wars and Mandalorian.

    Stopped by this spot after leaving the Bass Performance Hall. In semi-formal attire with some Vans This was such a good surprise pop-in. While looking for parking, I kept seeing people walk in there so I was sure there would be a nice crown inside Plenty of game options. I had a blast from the past with Tetris, Mortal Combat; and PacMan. I even played some games I've never heard of. The also offer drinks and bites; which I didn't partake in. For a $12 cover you get a wristband for free play all day. Definitely recommend for a fun date

    Video game selection is good. Lots of beer on tap options that we sampled several. I would only suggest they have more seating in the dining area for people that want to take a break for a snack but continue gaming after.

    Finally!! A Ft Worth Location. I've been here a few times now, but both times on weird days where it was not too busy on the inside. Once on Xmas Eve and again on the day after Xmas 2019. This place just opened about a month ago and it is the best thing to hit FW. Located in the Magnolia area, there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area, so that means you may have to drive around sometimes to find parking but note there is the Magnolia Green parking garage across the street which is free and has ample parking. Once you get here, you walk into a small room and pay your admission ($11 or $6 for early bird special) get a wristband and you are in to play all you can play to your heart's content. They have a full bar setup in the first room which has some of the older games and tables. The second room is where most of the games are located and they have a range from old school to new school games. Everything I played was in working order however if anything does break, make sure you notify staff so they can make sure to fix it. The beer selection is pretty good, they have a good range of options and fair prices. They also have an outdoor patio as well as a rooftop patio. They bar upstairs was not in use, however I assume they'll use it when the weather is nicer or they're busier. Rooftop is lit with strung lights and has a great view of downtown Ft Worth. One of my favorites in FW and so glad they've opened in this location.

    Chicken Tikka Pizza....DELICIOUS!!!

    Everything this Gen Xer needed in a relaxing and "take me back" afternoon. A full bar with great original choices at a great price. After lunch we wanted dessert so we asked for a chocolate martini and the bartender was happy to create it for us. The food was fabulous too. I had a chicken tikka pizza and it was a great fusion of flavors. Then...it was off to the arcade where we spent some care free time enjoying retro arcade games and pinball. The music in the background was the icing on the cake! It is worth every penny of the $12 to get in and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. Great way to spend a couple hours any time of the day!!!

For most others, there's plenty of accessible parking and it's kinda tucked away in it's own lot. The burger offered was the "Our Taphouse" - a dry ranch seasoned beef patty with shredded cheese and topped with carmelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and bacon jam. The burger was definitely good. It's messy since there are some more toppings prone to falling out. I will say that in terms of taste, it was a bit too sweet for my preference. I think it was the combination of carmelized onions and bacon jam that made it too much for me that it overwhelmed the savoriness that I'd prefer to be the main flavor with the burger. This time I didn't dine in personally but I will say that the place looks like it has a nice vibe to it, especially outside. It looks like there's plenty of seating with an area for musicians to perform. I'm looking forward to coming back one day and maybe watching a game and getting a drink.

As the name might suggest, this places focuses on cocktails throughout the world. Nonetheless, as the opportunity presented itself, we have usually opted happy hour. The first time I came here, I asked for a drink that was recommended. The bartender made a wonderful espresso martini. Despite what I mentioned, this was not on the happy hour menu. It was still a great drink nonetheless. I should have clarified from my end that I was looking for a happy hour drink. Good level of espresso liqueur with smooth vodka. Also, simple presentation with the coffee beans on top. The second time I came here it was also for happy hour. This time, I got the Bee's Knees. This was refreshing and sweet. The harshness of the gin did come through at times but at a tolerable amount that wasn't overwhelming. I liked the visuals of the dehydrated lemon slice. In both visits, we were regularly checked on by staff seeing if we had anything else to order, to gets dishes/glasses out of the way, refill water, etc. Always so kind! I will also note that the restrooms are incredibly clean and well-stocked. Although I've only come to Atlas for happy hour, I would certainly love to come back some day later in the evening because I've heard the vibe and atmosphere is especially more lively during that time.

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.
