    This was my first time busing Free Play in Dallas (I've been to the Richardson location a few times). Obviously they raised their admission prices ($12/person) but you can play as many games as you want. Of course there was a caveat, a lot of the games we wanted to play were either broken or had components that weren't properly working. (ie Guitar Hero game had one guitar working and the a button was broken, a pinball game was not calibrated correctly, a racing game had a pink monitor [sign it was about to go out]). Not sure if it was worth $12/person when the games we were most excited to play weren't in proper working condition. I don't remember the Free Play in Richardson having this issue. First stop was the bar and the drinks were pretty good & decently priced. Make sure to check out their menu, they have different specials each day of the week! The bartenders were attentive and super nice. Great customer service. I personally didn't order any food but our friend in our party ordered the vegan sandwich and she said it was delicious! Ambiance was pretty cool! It was definitely a fun arcade to go to.

    Great place to enjoy pinball and video games for one low price. You can also enjoy food and drinks as well. Great for friends, dates or going solo. Parking is hard to find on weekends so try to go early or expect to pay 10 dollars for parking. It stays open until 2am so alot of time to enjoy yourself.

    This is my second visit to a free play location and it didn't disappoint. I'm so glad I have one so close to home now. This arcade is HUGE! So many vintage games, Japanese games, some rare games and pinball machines! I arrived at 11am on a Saturday and pretty much had the entire pinball section to myself for about two hours. There may have been 25 people total in the arcade during that time. I was surprised since it was a Saturday. I also got in for half price since I arrived during the first hour. Not sure if that's just a weekend thing or also during the week. I tried the Cuban sandwich and it was pretty good!! A great selection of beers, ciders, sours and cocktails. The service was great. The staff was so friendly and only took about 10 mins to get my order. There are tons of tables and high tops to sit at while you enjoy your food/drinks. During my time there the staff was wiping down tables and games. Awesome experience and definitely can't wait to go back. Hoping for pinball tournaments to start at this location soon.

    We love this addition to west Dallas! Admission is $12 per adult and have a lot of drink and food options at the bar (however we did not buy food to try so not sure how great it is). There are over 100 games to choose from- lots of variety for different interests. Okay amount of 2 player games- a lot of them similar. They have a whole section for just pinball machines. The upside and downside is that it is family friendly- we went on a night during spring break and there were kids running EVERYWHERE. (So I'm not sure if it's this way all the time or just when school is out) Many kids interrupting and jumping onto our game as we were playing, throwing ski balls and basketballs all over, and screaming. So I could see this being great to bring your kids and family too, however when you are just trying to have an adult night away it wasn't ideal. They do have an above 18 years old after 9 pm rule which was great. It felt so much quieter and more enjoyable when it was adults only Lots of parking across the street from which makes it easy to get to. There are places to sit and eat and there are stools around if you want to sit while playing the game. Music is loud so it fell like we were yelling at each other at times, but after all of the kids left it was more attainable Fun spot for a date night, just have good expectations that it's not just adults.

    Free Play!!

    This place is EVERYTHING! How can you go wrong with an arcade where you a low price and can play as long as they are open? The service was amazing, and so was the ambiance. Run don't walk to check this place out!

    I came to Sportsbook in Bishop Arts on Saturday specifically to watch the Rolly/Teo boxing match…read morewith three of my business partners, and after this experience, I will not be coming back. From the beginning, our waitress had a terrible attitude. When I asked if they had non-alcoholic beer, her response was basically, "It's a bar... no." I then asked if they had juice instead of soda, and again she told me, "It's a bar, we don't have juice." That made no sense to me because bars normally carry different juices for mixed drinks. It wasn't even necessarily that they didn't have what I wanted--it was the dismissive attitude every time I asked a simple question. Then I asked about wings. She told me they only sell them in 6-piece orders, and if I wanted more, I had to order another 6-piece. I asked if they offered something like 6, 10, or 15 wings where the price per wing gets a little cheaper as you order more. She said no because their cooks have to separate every order into six pieces. The four of us own a restaurant, and we had never heard that explanation before, but okay. I also ordered nachos and politely asked her to tell the cook not to go crazy with the cheese because I only wanted a little. She told me she couldn't tell him that because she didn't want me complaining if I barely got any cheese. I specifically told her, "That's fine. I don't want that much cheese. Just please tell him a little bit of cheese." Even a simple food request somehow turned into an argument. I placed the food order around the beginning of the 5th round of the fight. The ENTIRE fight ended, and I still didn't have my food. When I finally saw her and asked for an update, instead of simply checking on it or apologizing for the wait, she told me, "You're waiting just like 30 other people." Again, completely unnecessary attitude. Then came the bill. My two items were $12 each, so I was expecting $24 plus tax. Instead, the payment reader showed $38.16. She seemed hesitant to show me the screen, and when I finally saw the charges, I noticed an additional $6 charge listed under some nickname/abbreviation I didn't recognize. I asked what it was. She repeated the name instead of explaining it, so I told her I still didn't know what that meant. She finally said it was gratuity. So now we're at $30 before tax, but somehow the total was $38.16. I knew the remaining amount wasn't simply sales tax, and by that point I was so tired of the attitude and the entire experience that I gave her $40 and left. The food finally came and was mid at best, but honestly, the food wasn't even the biggest problem. The lack of customer service and the waitress's attitude ruined the entire experience. If you're automatically adding gratuity, the least a customer should receive is decent service and a clear explanation of every charge on the bill. There are way too many places in Dallas with better food, better service, and employees who don't act irritated because a customer asks a question. I only came because my business partners wanted to watch the fight here. I normally watch boxing at home, and after this experience, that's exactly what I'll go back to doing. last time at Sportsbook in Bishop Arts.

Whether you're there for games, tournaments, or training sessions, the environment feels well-run and family-friendly. The layout makes it easy to navigate, and there's plenty of space for both players and spectators, which makes events much more comfortable compared to many other local venues. The courts/fields are well-maintained and the facility gives off a professional feel without being intimidating. Staff is generally helpful and keeps things running on schedule, which is especially important during busy tournament weekends. Parking and access are also relatively smooth, even when multiple events are happening at once. Overall, it's a solid venue that balances competitive sports energy with a clean, well-managed environment. Great spot for both athletes and families spending the day watching games.

Dark, noisy pub atmosphere inside. All small round counter-height and 4-top square tables inside were occupied. Although they had misters on over the patio tables; it was too hot (100F+) to sit on those outdoor tables. Plenty of small outdoor tables unoccupied at 6:30 pm. No host/hostess was present but a couple of waitresses came to start us with drinks. Draft and other beer, wine and alcohol choices were available. Guinness of course. All 3 of us ordered the fish (cod) and chips plate for our dinners. The 2 piece plate $14, the 3 piece plate $17. The large plank fries ( chips) were great. They were cooked crisp and served hot. Excellent, beer-battered and generous-sized, chunky cod pieces. Best fish n chips ever! I didn't check out the restroom. Trivia night was being played. The microphone was difficult to discern. Plenty of ambient noise from the tables and bar stools made it practically impossible to hear the conversations at our small and intimate table. I will return (with earplugs) perhaps to try their Kuby's sourced German plate. Definitely will be back when I crave an excellent fish n chips.

Hopefully this location can get it together, but I think I'll be braving traffic for the Henderson location from now on.

Pulled up to a parking lot in Bishop Arts District which is a good thing in that neighborhood because parking is a beast. I arrived before my group so I could not get a seat started. I waited in the car for 30min for my group to arrive. Once they did, we were seated. There staff were nice and gave us menus while we waited and we took photos in their entrance with the bush wall with angel wings. Once seated inside near the patio, we placed our order. We took note of the mandatory 18% gratuity on all groups of 5 or more at the top of the menus. Our waitress seemed new and had not tried much so she couldn't make recommendations. Our drinks came out first and the food in an appropriate time after. like I said, the drinks and food were delicious and the star of the show! The DJ played good music and definitely had us engaged. The building was up to code but gave me historic vibes were they didn't want to or can't make full renovations but it's a bar/grill and looks like a man decorated and not an interior designer.

They have TVs everywhere inside (both floors) and a huge TV outside as well. The restrooms are clean. They have a lot so that helps especially when it's there's a lot of people-- hate going to places with ONE bathroom. A bunch of seating too- lots of high tops upstairs/downstairs, bunch of tables outside & they have a lot of extra chairs. Service is great. Everyone always checks in to ask how everything's going and drinks/ food don't take too long to come out. I do LOVE their flatbreads. I've tried several flatbreads and they are all super tasty and not too expensive. I did appreciate that when Mexico scored during that first game, the servers brought out a bunch of shots free for everyone to celebrate!
