    Relive your childhood arcade days but now with an elevated twist. Indoors there are more arcade games and pinball machines than one can count. Outdoor lawn and table games are plentiful in the back courtyard. Excellent bar service with a wide selection of beers on tap, cocktail and food menu options also available. Easily enjoy the open and receptive atmosphere alone or with a group. Venue open to the public, but anyone under 21 is $10 admission. 21+ only after 8PM daily.

    This arcade is definitely tucked away- I feel if you didn't know it was here I'm not sure you could find it. The place was very spacious and brightly lit and the staff were friendly. we did visit on a karaoke night and I will say it was much too loud- the speaker was blaring so that if you were playing any of the consoles near the front you couldn't talk and would walk away with a ringing in your ears. The pinball machines were very modern and they had a huge selection. They also have a couple free machines near the back and the fighting game ended up being our favorite. One of the games took a coin and didn't play so we went to customer service and they gave us another one to comp it. Great customer service!

    Super cool! priced very fair, such a hidden gem. Unlimited arcade games and $1 = 1 token for pinball if you choose to do it. Very family friendly or even just a fun date night.

    Joust!!

    Oh my gosh!! I'm back in the 80s... but supersized with food and drink!! Games with a joystick are free and pinball and others are a dollar!! I couldn't be happier with my experience here !! They even have an outside area with all the outside games you would expect and igloos ! So impressed, having a great time and highly recommend!! Folks here are super friendly and helpful!! Service is amazing !!

    Lots of pinball games

    We went during the day on weekend which seemed more chill. It is a cool place especially if you like video games and pinball. Also there is a am out area if you prefer to play some corn hole. The food is good. Friendly atmosphere.

    Game terminal is a cool spot to stop at for a good time with friends and family! Inside is full of different themed pinball machines with almost any show or character you can think of. It was neat seeing all of the old school games and imagining back in the day how lively arcades were. There's a few other arcade games like racing and shooting games but it's mostly just pinball machines. They have an outdoor area, unfortunately we didn't go outside because it was warm but it looks like they had corn hole and other outdoor games for people to play. They also have two indoor bars with drink and food options. Again, we really just went there to check it out and play a few games but the little we experienced was a fun time! A bit overpriced for each game but it's really the vibe that you're paying for. We had a good experience!

    What a fun experience! I've been to several bar-cades around the country and this one is definitely towards the top! They have a great variety of free games located in the middle of the arcade with plenty of awesome classics mixed in there! We were greeted when we first walked in by friendly staff who explained the layout and mapped out the facility. The pinball machines and a few of the newer games require tokens, but they aren't very expensive to play. Out back they also have corn hole, ping pong, giant Jenga, connect 4, and cool snow globes to reserve for a group! This is a great place to host an event or just to hang out for a few hours while in town!

    I've been to plenty of bar-arcades over the years but Game Terminal blows them ALL away! Located in a quiet industrial area outside of downtown Nashville, you'll spy a couple of searchlights in front, lighting up the sky. The warehouse type building feels a bit mysterious with minimal signage, you walk up the ramp, open the double-doors and wow! They card you up front for a 21+ wristband and it's time to play! Game Terminal has a couple of bars for bevvies and then just imagine the biggest, largest number pf arcade games you can imagine. If you're a pinball lover, I think they have over 200 tables, tokens are needed to play! And they are clean, maintained, and in great condition. It seems like every single type of retro 80s arcade cabinet can be found here and even better, it's all free play for the video games at Game Terminal! It's $10 for those under 21, I gather they make most of their money off of the pinball games and drinks. Game Terminal also has an outdoors gaming area with cornhole and some lawn games along with covered seating on a patio, phew! The ambiance here is lively and noisy, they pump dance music throughout the interior space, you can't help but have fun at Game Terminal. From the number of games, to the decor, and the cost of playing here, I can't imagine a better bar-arcade in the country. If I find it, I'll let you know!

    First time coming here, husband and I wanted to do something different for date night. This definitely has some nostalgic games like super mario. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich as well with fries, the good not only was good but it came out piping hot. The tables are first come first serve unless you reserve an area. You order and pay at the bar and get you good in this other little area to the side when it's ready. If you don't drink they also have mocktails. We didn't know what to expect but we had a good time. They also have games outside but it was too hot to go out there. Oh, if you're under 21 you gotta be out by 8. I will definitely come back.

    Ask the Community - Game Terminal

    Is there any parking nearby?

    Yes, I would say it probably has between 50 & 80 spaces directly in front of it. The busiest I've seen it there was still designated parking, and I believe if it was a lot busier you could park on the street somewhat. It's a place I wouldn't worry… Read more

    Do they have an ATM and do they accept debit/credit cards?

    Both

    Do they kick out anyone under 21 at 8pm?

    Yes they do!

I loved the DJ on the second floor, and I'm still impressed that they have two bars--we didn't even make it upstairs the first time we came. I'm definitely coming back to check out the rooftop next time, especially since it was pretty cold during this event and I didn't get the full experience. The games are a blast, the drinks are great, and the pizza... wow. So good! I grabbed mine to go, and it was still amazing the next day for lunch, super fresh and still full of flavor. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and genuinely kind. Already excited for my next visit!

You pay for tokens (not expensive) and get to choose from 80+ nostalgic arcade games like Pac-Man, Street Fighter, Galaga...all the classics. They also have Mario Kart on Nintendo 64 (no tokens needed!), plus skee-ball, basketball hoops, pinball, and more. The staff makes Up-Down even better. Everyone greeted us with smiles, and the bar staff and bouncer went above and beyond to help me track down my lost phone (thanks again!!). There are two levels (each with its own bar), and the upstairs, dog-friendly patio has cabanas with fireplaces. It's also in the perfect spot for hopping to other great bars nearby. This place is 10/10: cheap beer, fun games, and an all-around solid night out!

Laser tag area was large enough to keep them engaged without being overwhelming. Nice variety of arcade games. The party room we had was spacious, well decorated and the boys loved the huge screen tv to watch their favorite anime show while eating their pizza. Everything including the bathrooms was clean and hand sanitizer was available. The party package we chose included laser tag games, arcade game card for each guest, card with extra credits for the VIP birthday person, pizza, drinks, plates, forks, napkins. They did allow us to bring in a cooler with extra cold drinks and cupcakes. Staff were super friendly and responsive. They worked with us to figure out the best flow for our group as far as coordinating our laser tag games and pizza/cake. Had 2 last minute guests that they helped us seamlessly add on to our package. Boys had a great time. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Checking in for a birthday party I just assume you walk right into the party room you were invited to. The setup of the cool lights entrance to the laser tag room to get your gear. Was pretty cool. The kids get to run around in the dark. A way to burn your energy and 2 hours of play. While waiting for the kids to play they had a few options of arcade games and the claw machine that seems like it was a tease. But overall if you ever run out of ideas or where to throw a birthday. I guess here a great option to get some fun.
