    Outdoor area at Halloween
    Michaela V.

    Genuinely one of our favorite spots in Nashville. Every time we have someone visiting from out of town we recommend a visit here. It truly feels like taking a step back in time, and a place to connect outside of the realm of social media. With old style arcade games, backyard fun like giant jenga, fun bar food and drinks you truly can find something for everyone. The staff is always very kind and it will remain a staple in our rotation.

    It was a pretty cool place! It's one of those arcade bars with a ton of pinball machines. I was there for NYE which was ok, but a bit overpriced for what you got. The part that annoyed me is that the video games were free, but not the pinballs. Those should have been included! We ordered food and drinks as well. Those were solid except the nachos. The workers were nice! In all, this place was good. Not great, but good enough!

    Okay this place is purely AWESOME!! My favorite game is Tekken but I found out about Tapper and I'm addicted. The staff is super nice and helpful. It's hard to not have a great time here!!

    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 !!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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… 

    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!

    What's better than an amazing dinner, with a hot date, who is now your fiance? Having a nightcap at…read morea bomb bar next door! We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

    I've lived in Nashville for a decade but I finally made it to Patterson House! I stopped in for…read moresome drinks and a snack before a concert and it lived up to the hype! I sat at the bar and had one of their seasonal cocktails as well as a manhattan. The bartender, Skye, (who is amazing btw!) took great care of me and even offered me a taste of a spirit behind the bar for a recommended cocktail. The entire experience is worth the price point. I recommend taking a ride share and walking to your venue on a nice evening. I'm glad the Voorhees building is being restored. I'll be back to try their burger!
