Anita T.

Happy 2026! Nice arcade offering with a lot of space and plenty of games. Pros: Seems clean, spacious, and well maintained so far Lots of parking, next door to other businesses like Benihana and Nazareth ice rink Some unique offerings like a mini karaoke room for a decent price Has reasonably grown up food offerings, so it's not like grease trap places like Chuck E. Cheese Cons: Some of the games (eg claw machines) were not the greatest- the big one there seems to have a weak claw or the items are too small. Harder to win than most. Price per game is a bit on the higher side compared to other local arcades but the facility is nice for parties etc.

Took my 5-year-old here and she had a great time. There's a good mix of games, rides, and indoor bumper cars that kept her fully engaged. The space is clean and easy to navigate, and I appreciated that there are arcade games upstairs for adults too. It's a solid spot for a family outing where both kids and adults can have fun. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when it came to explaining how the games and cards work. We didn't feel rushed and were able to move at our own pace, which made the experience more enjoyable. Parking was also convenient, which made the visit smooth from start to finish.

We stopped by for drinks and hang out with friends. They had a live DJ and a bar that offered cocktails and beer. They also have lots of arcade machines. Highly recommended!

Pretty cool place. Games for all ages... video, bowling, pinball... Lots to do. Game prices range from $1-$5. It was fun. They have party rooms. We were guests do I don't know the pricing structure. Lots of parking in the mall.

New found place! We did not expect this place to be this big. First floor is more for kids and the second floor is more for adults. Spacious and a lot of games to offer. And also affordable! All machines are working which is very nice! Prices range from $1.50 to $8 and staff are very friendly! Highly recommend!

Came in on a Thursday in the afternoon during spring break and the place was pretty empty. They have a variety of games that can cater to different crowds - arcade games, ticket games, lots of VR. They even have a mini bowling alley, pool tables, and some type of bumper car. They have food and drinks. The games are pretty expensive - $3 or more. The XRider was $6 a ride. For the cost of games, you get very little tickets and prize selection was basic. Great addition to Bridgepointe but the cost of the games is probably not worth it.

Came here with a premium party package and it was all super well run! Good: - Tons of variety in the experiences offered - I liked the zombie shooter on the roller coaster, and the horror video games - There's a good mix of upscale premium titles and short gambling ones as well as social ones like the connect four basketball game - The party room was set up and ready for us exactly at the time they said - The pizza was so tasty as well as the moz sticks - Service was great, everything was done without us noticing too Bad: - The bumper cars were being charged when we went so we couldn't play Overall would come again, takes you back to being younger

Fun date night location. They have drinks and food available for purchase. My partner and I had a ton of fun and it was pretty cheap considering we spent 2 hours here. We loaded $100 split between two players card and still have more than half at the end of the night. Parking was easy since they are located at the Bridgepointe Plaza. Staff were also really nice and helpful.

We came in after a visit to Lazy Dog to check out the gaming offerings. While not as large as we were expecting, the variety of games was enough to keep us entertained and willing to come in from time to time. They have arcade games, bumper cars and bowling for kids, and simulators. We didn't stay long, maybe 30 mins, and a couple of our party weren't the gaming type, but cost wise it didn't seem too bad for the experience. Pros: Great to have a gaming spot like this in the peninsula, good variety of game offerings Cons: N/A

I think this place is where the ol' arcade used to be at the now-defunct Fashion Island Mall. I spent way too much time in my youth there playing Gauntlet, Contra, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Fun times!

Scott M.

I really enjoyed this place. Very clean, great parking. Food was surprisingly good. Its a good spot to kept the kids entertained for a couple hours.

Game card!! Easy to collect "tickets" here to later exchange for prizes.

My family is obsessed with Gama Ride! We've been coming at least once a month since it opened because it's just that much fun. There's truly something for everyone--kids, adults, and all ages in between. My six-year-old sister, who has endless energy, and my 19-year-old sister with Down syndrome both have an absolute blast every time we visit. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Plus, knowing that it's family-owned and operated adds a special touch--you can really feel the care they put into making it a great place for everyone. The attractions are always clean, there's a great variety of games, and the location is super convenient. Our favorite part? The Voice Box! A private karaoke room where we can sing our hearts out--such a unique and fun addition! Gama Ride has become a go-to spot for us, and we can't recommend it enough!

really cool place for adults and littles alike! Took my two toddlers in on a Monday afternoon. I bought a $20 game card and played for about 45 minutes. The games are all brand new and well kept. I saw on-site staff cleaning games in-between uses. The place is larger than I expected! Recommend for a fun night out with the family. they even have bumber cars!

Definitely a good deal, and the service was friendly as well. The food did take a little while to come out, but overall I had a great experience. Lobster Flatbread - The crust was thin, crispy, and delicious. It was also perfectly cheesy!

The restaurant seemed very understaffed, and throughout the two hours we were there, many of the food items stayed empty for long periods without being replenished. Since the buffet was split between two levels, our entire family, including those helping with a newborn, constantly had to go downstairs just to find available food, which was also limited at times. The protein selection felt pretty minimal with mainly prime rib and ham, while most of the buffet consisted of carbs and desserts. On top of that, three of our family members ended up experiencing stomach issues afterward, which we suspect may have come from the chocolate fountain area. We've celebrated Mother's Day here before and were really looking forward to coming back, so it was disappointing to leave feeling let down. Hoping this was just an off day, but sadly we probably won't be choosing Pinstripes again for future Mother's Day celebrations.

Claire was friendly, helpful and responsive throughout the whole process via emails, from beginning to end, and for going above and beyond helping me ease last few concerns I had. I also want to thank the staff from the reserved lanes to the food. Everything was taken care of. The food and sodas came out on time. I was able to bring my own dessert. Everyone loved it! There were plenty of food and desserts left over for my guests to take home. The staff was attentive and accomodating and made my guests feel welcome. Everyone had fun bowling and hanging out.

Fast forward to present day and I took my partner here for the classic bowl experience. We came on a rainy Sunday early afternoon, and was able to snag a lane. It was pretty packed because they had league bowling going on. $5 for shoes, $6.50 per game, per person. We decided to go the hour route and for two people, shoes, 1hr of bowling, it costs $40 total. Honestly, pretty good pricing considering we were able to bowl 4 games since it was only 2 of us. If we had gone the per game route, it would've been $12 more. The lanes were in great shape, they definitely have upgraded their systems since I was here years ago. We had some issues with our lane to start. We picked up the phone near our lane and they were able to fix the problems right away. They had plenty of bowling balls available and they were all neatly organized by size and weight. My bowling scores were atrocious but I still had a great time. Upgraded kitchen to order food, renovated bar area, and arcade, although the new arcade seems dull, what happened to time crisis and a real pop-a-shot basketball game?? Sad but not the end of the world. Overall, Classic is the type of bowling alley I enjoy. No frills, no gimmicks, just a classic bowling alley that transport you back to simpler times. Will definitely be back!

It has that authentic sports bar vibe without trying too hard. TVs going, people locked into games, and just an overall relaxed energy. It feels like a place you can come to regularly, not just once. It didn't feel like a tourist spot at all, more like somewhere locals actually hang out. Food-wise, it's solid bar food done right. Wings, burgers, and the kind of stuff you actually want when you're watching a game or just kicking back. Nothing fancy, but it hits and fits the environment. The drinks were on point too. Good beer selection, solid cocktails, and plenty of options if you're just trying to chill for a while. The setup with TVs and bar games makes it easy to stay longer than you planned. The staff and the crowd both added to the experience. It felt welcoming, people were comfortable, and you don't get that awkward feeling walking into a new place. Only thing to keep in mind is it's very laid back and first come first served. Depending on when you go, you might have to wait or stand around a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a real sports bar with good food, drinks, and a local feel, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.
