    Cheap fun drinks, amazing pink starburst shot. Great mocktails with gushers. Fun names of the…read moredrinks too, nice employees. Lots of gaming options and some of them are free! Super cool pinball area and a few claw machines. A pizza spot in the back of the bar that is really popular. Had an amazing time here, even as a non arcade or gamer type person!

    I came here on a first date recently and thought it was such a wonderful idea for doing just that…read more I love arcades and games in general, I'm super competitive! That said, it missed the mark a little. For starters, the A/C wasn't working in most of the space. The main bar area was cool-ish, but the rest of the place was so ungodly hot that I couldn't stand being inside. When the sun finally went down we kept going to the back patio to cool off in between games. And that leads me to the games... there were several that were "out of order" that we were so excited to play. Some of the video games on the wall with consoles weren't working well and shorting out. Some games had buttons that stuck and caused us not to be able to fully play the game. The basketball game wasn't keeping score. There were too many instances like this for me to count. It was a bummer. On the flip side, the drinks were affordable and they have a Borgata Pizza in the back. I didn't grab a slice, but my date did and he said it was good. The staff was also super friendly. There's several other arcades in Columbus that I would go back to before heading here again. I think with some basic upkeep this spot would be an all around winner.

    This is a tough review for me because clearly this is a locally owned small business who cares…read moreabout the quality of their guests experiences. I did not have a good experience but I'm confident that these issues can and will be resolved. So with optimism, I share this review. I was looking for a unique daddy date for my 3rd child who thanks to Covid(sucks) has missed out on two birthday parties(20% of his birthdays). I saw a Groupon that allowed you to play for several hours for cheap. My son(10) called to verify what games were available and was told "we have all of the major titles". That's also when I realized that kids don't make phone calls. It was like learning to drive for him. I digress. When we arrived there was a special even better than the Groupon so I bought 30 hours or so for future visits. The staff was kind and at our request gave a tour. The problem began when we tried to play. There were fewer titles than we expected and we couldn't get logged in. Technical problems are to be expected but after 20 minutes, the staff member said "it's been doing this all day"....Oof. You knew about the issue when I called earlier... Additionally, and this makes sense, we needed logins for the games themselves. Which we don't have. 45 minutes in we had played a couple of rounds of a first person shooter that we were wildly outmatched in. And it was the only game we could get logged in to. My son was a trooper. Each time it became evident the game he wanted wasn't working he would say "let's try this one dad" and unfortunately, no go. Eventually I had to pull the plug and scramble to find something else. Full refund and bailed. That one experience was brutal. But I just don't think that it's conducive of the typical experience. If you are an avid gamer in the genres they have, with your logins, on a good server day. You will have a 4-5 star day I'll bet my bottom dollar. Alas, not us. Alas, not us.

    Nice to see some LAN centers/cyber cafe back in Columbus. Facility is very spacious and clean…read more Super friendly staff and the systems are all respectable with GTX 1060 video cards. Food area looks good too. I didn't have a chance to try and of the air fried dishes, but I can say that the Orange Creme bubble tea was very legit. $7 an hour to rent a system, or higher price points at a discount for 6+ hours. Nice to know hours roll over between visits so you're not buying fresh if you didn't use all your credits up on a previous visit.

    For my 1100th review, I am going to write about my amazing experience at Level One Bar+ Arcade!…read more I promised my brother a surprise during our trip to Columbus, OH if he passed his insurance agents license. He passed, so I took him to Level One Bar+ Arcade. I did it to have some brother bonding time. Its been years since either one of us had stepped into an arcade and really spent hours playing in one. Some of our fondest memories together occurred while playing video games and in video arcades. Thus, it was wonderful to relive those moments together and create new memories at another video arcade. Really cool place, ambience definitely is a cool classical arcade that just happens to have a bar inside. Tons of games here! You can find all the classics, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, etc. Talk about memories... i remember playing Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat at arcades when I was in grade school. I got go relive memories when I played X-Men the Arcade Game, a game I beat at an arcade when I was in middle school. The only disappointment was with Rampage. I jumped for joy when I saw it! I loved playing as either George, Ralph, or Lizzie as gigantic monsters devouring the worlds population and destroying cities when i was younger! Alas! It was not operable! My years away from playing video games showed my rusty skills. I used to be a beast in games, i did alright but man have my skills deteriorated since college. Again, we played for hours, and had a great time together. We did not spend a lot of money, all non-pinball games are free. We also did play some pinball games like The Walking Dead, and You Only Live Twice. Level One Bar+ Arcade made our last night in Columbus, a wonderful night. I definitely recommend coming here!

    Had a little time to spare before our movie started, so we stopped in for a drink and to play some…read moregames. They have so many awesome pinball machines! Almost all of the arcade games are free play (get yourself something at the bar ofc), but some of the bigger games and all the pinball machines take coinage. They have both an ATM and change machine on site. There's skee ball and some TVs on the wall too for sportsball games. It can be a bit chaotic and feel less like a barcade when big families come in, but that can't be helped on a Saturday afternoon lol It's a cool spot for gamers and the bartender was nice. Go and have some fun!

I ordered boneless honey barbecue wings and ranch. The wings were amazing. Fries came with it and they were also really good. Celery also comes with the meal. Got a Dr. Pepper which was also super good like always. Service was nice, I got seated pretty quickly and ordered. Food came in under 10 minutes definitely. Ambiance is nice. They have a lot of screens playing football and other games. Music is really loud. Haven't tried out the games yet but I'm sure they'll be fun like other arcades. I don't know how this place has a 2.8 star rating. This isn't 2.8 star food.

    My family came here for the first time in a long time and had a horrible experience unfortunately…read more We really enjoy arcades and understand that they come with waiting, spills, loud kids, etc etc... but our problem came with the staff both at the dining section and arcade section of this establishment. Our waitress was super rude throughout and blamed us (??) for being given an outdated menu. Whatever. We spent time in the arcade area and when the little kids were ready to buy some candy, we had another bad experience checking out (or trying to). The woman in front of us was taking forever and no one ever came to help us check out. We asked if there was anyone to help us or if they could take a break from her and help us for a second. No luck. Ended up leaving after waiting 15 minutes for a few pieces of candy. I have experience working as a cashier and usually am understanding... but the situation they have going on there staff-wise is lacking. (Also... a lady stealing peoples cards??)
