My absolute favorite place to take out of towners when they visit Astoria!!! To describe the place; the easiest way I can, is to say "imagine if the movie set of the 1980's version of "Tron" was an actual place to hang out." Not quite historically accurate, but hopefully you get my point. Extremely ambient and super-dope lighting. Vintage arcade games. Draft beer and ciders. You have to walk down to the side steps of an old warehouse building to even access this place (immediately makes you feel cool). A really great dip-in back by the legendary Polybius arcade game, blanketed in teal overhead lights and shadows from the surrounding machines, that make for a quick and excellent makeout spot. Someone told me that, anyways. Not me. I would never. Ask for the code to access the bathrooms and you will be delighted, if you're a true nerd. read more

So my first impression was this place is really cool inside. You could have some stairs and it's underneath a building. They have drinks and beer, which we ordered a couple of. They have a ton of video games, especially pinball machines, which I love. I was excited to play them, but when I asked the bartender about it, she just explained how to scan a QR code and build an account in order to play them. it's really easy she said. Well, I scanned the code. built an account, created a password..etc. It was time-consuming. After I was done with all of that, I couldn't get the app to work on any of the games and I'm pretty good with technology. I couldn't find the bartender anywhere to ask her for assistance. So we had a beer, but I never got to play any games which I wanted to. Update. The owner response was very quick and I appreciate that in all businesses. They obviously take their business seriously so I added a star for that. I appreciate it. Thank you. read more

I really loved the futuristic feel of this place and definitely the nostalgia. The service was amazing and they were so kind and treated us well. I loved being able to sit down relax and eat some pizza or pretzel bites before I head over to the pinball machines and try to beat my previous high score. The food isn't your fancy restaurant food, it's your typical appetizers and they are super easy to eat. My favorite is the pizza and the pretzel bites with the cheese Their ciders are also to die for. I'm so glad I was able to try through the drinks before I was able to buy the full pint. It made it easier in deciding what you actually would want. Would 100% keep coming back with my friends for some good drinks, and some good pinball. It's epic down there read more

Service was great, bartender was kind and informative. Prices were meh. Mostly reasonable. Glad it was open. We didn't stay long but enjoyed a variety of alcoholic and NON alcoholic beverages which I need and so appreciated the options. It had a notable but small menu for food. Great atmosphere and decor was very space like. Some of the machines are VERY close together and not very chunky person friendly. The walkways are narrow so that's good to keep in mind. All of the games use an app to pay. Which my biggest suggestions would be charging stations or plugs for patrons because we both came in with low battery and would have stayed longer to play but couldn't pay for any more games because our phones died! read more

Galactix - Laserdisc game - Arcades Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

This place is literally a hidden gem. Almost like a hidden speakeasy. I come to Astoria all the time and was not aware of its existence. The theme ingredient and overall vibe is on point. Its got a space balls future bar seen through an 1980s lens. Lots of inside gamer and movie nods thoroughly the place. The service was quick and efficient, I didn't eat the food per se but I did have some complimentary nuts. Pricing was standard. To play games you have to do it through an app which I thought was cool. If you can find it and you have friends who dig the 1980s arcade vibe this is 100% for you. read more

Their front door isn't the most inviting, but if you dare to open it you will immediately launch into hyperspace. Amazing pinball selection, other unique and rare games, an excellent tap list, and a super easy to use payment system. I will absolutely visit again on my next trip to Astoria! read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised that it wasn't busy. It is a fairly small arcade, but still had a good time playing some of the games. There is a bar to the side, but didn't check out what they served. It's definitely something worth checking out if you like arcades and if you're in the area. read more

Hidden in almost an alley on the basement level sits a throwback arcade whose atmosphere feels more futuristic than retro. Great for kids five and older, and I mean older people who like pinball, vintage video games, plenty of taps and drinks of all kinds. I love how they have this app enabled pay system for all the games and again the atmosphere is out of this world. We played hard for almost an hour on $25 bucks and had credits left over. Definitely check this arcade out. read more

This place is home away from home for my husband and I! We love the vibe of arcades, but the aesthetic of this place is such a dream! The music, the lights, it's as if you are in a vaperwave star trek ship in cyberpunk world. Our favorite. read more

Galactix - Arcades Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

I wasnt expecting much here - coming in from the dingy 'alley' outside it belies the space within - boy was I surprised! The attention to detail using lights and props really made this a cool place to visit, like you were in the bar on the Enterprise. Even an impressive sound system (yes i noticed your cleverly hidden subwoofer!). The games are very reasonably priced. I had a ball for just $10. Drinks and limited food reasonable too. The app worked great, I downloaded it before hand and loaded it with some cash. Look up the game number on the machine and find it in the app (the app shows all the games it 'finds' in bluetooth range with the corresponding numbers) The bathroom is - well, wow. lol Its a little cramped in here - if it was full I could see it being uncomfortable. Lots of old favorites here - asteroids, space invaders, 1942. Its about half pinball and half arcade. The pinball games were really fun too. Kids over 5 can attend with their parents. Definitely coming back. read more

Galactix - they forgot the R - Arcades Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Fun little arcade tucked underground and filled with awesome arcades! It isn't that big, but it has a great variety of pinball machines and old school. You can get drinks also and there are a couple booths to sit. It wasn't too busy, but all the machines worked and we enjoyed our time. read more

A lot of great touches here -- the warm bar nuts snack, ample taps, cute names and geeky references. The game prices are a little all over the place and the app doesn't work as well as one would like, but it's a great concept that's got a lot of potential. We had fun but mostly the games didn't keep us engaged to stay longer. read more

Love this place so much one of my favorite places of all time. Great place to take your kids for a night out

The arcade and atmosphere are second to none! They top it off with a great drink selection.

Beautifully designed, themed bar. Carefully laid out to make as much use out of a small space as possible. Beer pricing is good/on average. Food limited to rack-style pizza. Lots of thought went into design here. Sadly, the arcade leaves a bit to be desired. 30 machines tightly arranged is not too great for long term play. Drink holders are on machines, but game selection needs tweaking. They need a few more upright classics and one or two more shooters like Area 51 or something. To be honest, they get a pass on game selection because they're new. Selection increases the longer barcades are open. The lack of stars is due to their clunky pay style for gaming. No game accepts quarters. You have to download an app, with a minimum of ten dollars to add to a purse. Phone reception downstairs is spotty, so this gets quirky. Games are minimum 50 cents. This place feels cool inside, so every tourist should give it a shot. Sadly, I saw lots of people leaving because they didnt want the app. read more

Amazing hidden gem bar and arcade in Astoria! Stumbled across this sweet underground spot on our visit, and had a ton of fun! Dozens and dozens of old school arcade and pinball machines in a super cool neon sci-fi themed space. Huge local craft beer and cider selection on tap with friendly staff. For us, the retro two-player sit-down racing games were a big hit. The futuristic spaceship theme is so well done. Coming in from the street, it felt like stepping into a little 80s TRON-like other world! FYI, the phone -app based way to pay for games (quick download) made it pretty seamless to play without handling grubby tokens or coins. 5/5. Wish we had a place like it in our city, and worth a stop for drinks and a memorable, super fun time! read more

Cute little arcade! I really enjoyed the futuristic space decor of the interior. Even the bathroom was cool and remained on the galactic theme. We went on a Sunday evening (around 5-6:00 pm), and we had the place to ourselves for the first couple of minutes. The only thing that was interesting about the place is that the games only accepted payment through an app you have to download on your phone. read more

Galactix - Super Mario Bros. Game - Arcades Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

If you're into pinball, beer/cider and/or Star Wars/Trek, this arcade is for you. Fantastic decor - they did a great job! Good beer selection and good pinball selection. Kids under 13 not allowed and kids must be out after 5 or so. Little hard to find, though. Basically a basement joint in the middle of the block. Had a great time. read more

Killer service, pinball machines need work. Great ciders. How are these machines not liked to Stern ? Such a waste of coins .. I'm mean you have a pinball bar... Most machines need lots of work. The only balanced one was old Star Wars. If the owner gets a bubble level and takes better care of the machines/ this place would blow up. But as it is, the service is better than the gameplay - the atmosphere is cool though . read more

We had a great time playing all the different pinball machines and a couple of video games we used to play on our Nintendos when we were kids. We didn't try any refreshments as we had just had a huge lunch, but it was a great way to spend a bit of time. I was really impressed with the number and quality of the machines! read more

So fun and out of this world! Great selection of beers and a super alternative atmosphere

It's so cool! If I lived in Astoria, I would come here all the time. I wish it were open longer.

Best (SCI-FI) themed place to chill and play some fun pinball game and enjoy some solid Ciders!!! Staff is super friendly. Lots of thought went into the overall vibe of this place. Definitely one of our favorite spots to visit! read more

This is an amazing place that you have to see for yourself. Great beer and cider selection, wonderful ambiance and friendly service staff, it's the best kept secret in Astoria. Go to the fish restaurant nearby, then take a left downstairs. read more

Passing through Astoria for a night, we stumbled on this "sci fi lounge" after dinner and were delighted. Definitely was not expecting to find a retro vapor wave themed arcade and lounge in the middle of this calm, somewhat sleepy port town. It was clean, thoughtfully designed and had some fun surprises like Polybius and The Spectre Files: Deathstalker FMV game. Will definitely make sure to come back next time we're in Astoria. read more

Lots of potential. Amazing attention to detail. Unexpected for a small town of 10,000 like Astoria. Sadly ran out of pizza which is the only food option. (Pizza is from Dominos.) Games were fun and all working! They need more staff and more non-alcoholic drink options. read more
