    Nice place! I had stopped in a while back, but my son and his friend wanted to play the typical games like at dave and busters so we went there. This time, i was there for my sister's birthday, and we had a blast. This place specializes in the nostalgic games of the 80's and 90's. So pinball machines and classic arcade games. The bar had an awesome selection of cocktails like butter beer and margaritas, as well as a few soju inspired drinks. The staff was great and friendly. I ordered the "cactus juice" drink and tried some of the nachos my sister ordered. They were good in spite of the cheese sauce. I like shredded cheese only. To play the games, it is cash only, as in you need to put dollar bills into the token machine. You can tap/ use cards at the bar for food and drinks.

    Having only been to the Annapolis location, I have to say I am a much bigger fan of this one. But before we talk about GameOn itself, we have to talk about the parking in the lot across the street. It's a mad house over there -- I felt like I was back at Eden Center with all that chaos! I had to park really far away... just be advised of that when in that area of Columbia. So, GameOn... even before stepping inside, I could hear the music and the excitement because they have the bar setup where there's both outdoor and indoor bar seating. I love that! And then I went inside and my buddy who was celebrating his birthday had reserved the table section. It's on the opposite side of the bar, and we were able to order as we liked. It looks like its the case across all the locations, but I remember how small their food menu was about 2 years ago. It's definitely expanded since then. We had wings and pizza at the table that were all fantastic. The cocktail menu may have expanded slightly, but there was already a lot. And they have that infamous shots wheel to spin. From the ingredients, the cocktails do lean on the sweeter side, but it kinda fits the theme, you know? I found the Columbia location to have a much more open feel, and I like that there are two bars. There is a second floor mainly for seating that's cool. The bathrooms were lit with blacklights, and seriously the wall artist / designer is fantastic. This is an easy bar to recommend to anyone, especially gamers. I'll be returning -- especially to try some of the games that were unfortunately broken down (looking at you, DDR)!

    Met up with a group of friends here during the holidays. Cool spots with arcade games, music, drinks and food. Plenty of free nearby parking. They have fun themed drinks and shots at a reasonable price. Tried the sonic blueberry mule which was pretty good. The bartenders were attentive. Bring cash as it needed to get tickets for the games. They also have a small selection of board games to play.

    GameOn Bar+Arcade is definitely the place to be if you just want to hang out with your friends and have a good time playing old school arcades and pinball. I think the big appeal is that the games are really cheap and you have the option of using tokens to pay for your games. Kind of like a throw back when we were kids where we would go to Chuck E Cheese or Time Out in malls when those were big. The nostalgia is real going here. I didn't really order the food here, but I did get drinks. I'd say that the place is busier at the bar section and it does take a bit for you to get your drinks but they do make it fast once they reach to you. The arcade of course is the main highlight. I'm personally a big fan of Dance Dance Revolution, and they had it here. It's not what I remembered but it'll get the job done. They also have fighting games like Street Fighter 2 or Tekken if you're into that. And the pinballs... There was a Godzilla pinball and a Metallica Pinball that was hard to pass up on, those were so cool to play. What else can I say about this place? I think it's popular on weekend nights and I'll say that it's better if you go on weekdays when it's not so packed !

    Came here to try it out. There were many people in this space. Not a lot of places to sit inside but a good amount of space outside. I had a cider that was mango and peach but I expected apple. Guess I should have read. I didn't enjoy that beer. And I thought it was rather expensive. The drink menu was very fun I must admit. So maybe I'll come back to try out a few more drinks. The general vibe was cool. Games were about 1$ per play. The bartenders seemed to not be very engaged but it was so many people who could not even here yourself think. I'm gonna try again to see if I really like it.

    This place is so cute and full of so many memory games from when I was a kid! We came in to get a drink while waiting for a reservation at a nearby restaurant. We had never been so didn't know what to expect, but in looking around they had so many games! To include my old past time fave PacMan. We will definitely be back to try out the gaming, but it was nice grabbing and drink and watching a part of the Ravens game at the bar.

    GameOn is such a cute and nostalgic spot--perfect for a date or just a fun hangout with friends. From skeeball and pinball machines to a basketball hoop race, the place is filled with games that instantly transported me back to my childhood. It's the kind of place that reminds you how fun simple, old-school games can be. Each game costs about a dollar, which feels like a steal these days for something this entertaining. There's also a bar on site, so you can sip a drink while playing, which adds a fun adult twist to the arcade vibe. The decor is awesome too--playful and colorful, with neon-lit bathrooms that are actually a highlight (yes, really!). If you're looking for a laid-back, feel-good activity that doesn't break the bank, GameOn is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

    My favorite bar in Columbia hands down! What can I say besides I'm obsessed with game on! It gives a whole new meaning to hanging out with friends or whoever while enjoying drinks and games! The bar tenders are also very personable and chill and are gamers too! It's a whole vibe out here! The food is so freaking good! The fried pickles and burger is my to go to! I feel like the cocktails are a little over priced but they're hand crafted and I can't get enough of that delicious butterbeer! Yum! Or the sonic slush with Malibu and vodka! I come here often and I feel valued as a customer. So this place gets a 5/5 without questioning! Check out their fed hill location, it's like a club in there!

    2.28.25 Had a fun time playing the arcade basketball. I beat three of my husband's relatives. This bar/arcade is located in the Merriweather District. It's alongside Banditos and Clove and Cardamom. They have a bar and refreshments. I didn't look at the menu, but I believe my hubby's relatives ordered wings. This venue is not as big as Dave and Buster's, but it has a nice vibe and they play great music. A very fun atmosphere.

    if it wasn't for this review, I would've never known there was Pinball at this arcade. Many arcades DO NOT have Pinball.

    stranger Things part one Initial gameplay Skill shot: Aim for the roving light when it lands on the second drop target from the right. Hitting it can lead to the left scoop for a large point bonus (MXV). Start modes: Hit any of the four main shots (left orbit, left ramp, right ramp, right orbit) three times to start a mode. Light ball locks: During a ball save, shoot the two "light lock" targets to the side of the left ramp. This allows you to lock balls via the left ramp to start multiball. Start multiball: Lock three balls to start Telekinesis Multiball. After collecting five jackpots, the left eject shot will light for a super jackpot.

    Small than I expected but super fun and nostalgic. Decent bar food. Solid music. Super nice staff and quick service.

    Such a Vibe!!!!! I stumbled upon this bar/restaurant/game spot after visiting Merriweather Pavilion which is across the street. I'm so glad I did! It turned out to be such a great experience, and I had an amazingly fun time. The two bartenders, both named Sydney, were fantastic--super welcoming, fun, and attentive. They took the time to listen to my order, checked on me often, and made absolutely delicious drinks. Not only were the drinks great, but the food exceeded my expectations. I ordered a large pizza, which even came with free game tokens (a fun bonus), and the chicken wings were incredible--some of the best I've had in the area! I have to mention there $5 shot wheel (see pics). That was super exchange a fun addition to the spot. The highlight of the night was the old-school arcade games. There's a bunch of them, and they made for such a fun and nostalgic experience. This place really has it all--great drinks, great food, great music, and a great vibe. I'll definitely be coming back a few times a month to hang out with friends, play games, and enjoy some drinks. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area--you won't be disappointed!

There is the caveat that I ordered carry-out instead of dining in this time and it was a much more seamless process. I placed my order on their website (which is powered by Toast) and it was ready perfectly in time with my designated pickup time. My order came out ready and hot and all the pizzas and garlic bread came out great. In retrospect, I don't know that I would've ordered the garlic bread because I was expecting more of a garlic breadstick situation instead of a sauceless cheese pizza, but that's more of my own fault for not looking at any pictures first. All in all, it was a much more positive experience and I appreciate the management for working so hard to fix any road bumps in service.

We seated ourselves and the server came over promptly to take our drink orders while we perused the menu. The offerings are simple - a few appetizers, salads, and a wide variety of personal sized pizzas with numerous topping combinations. Our drinks arrived quickly we placed our order. My friend tried one of their craft beer offerings, Black Dog, listed as an Irish Stout, and mentioned it was good, but probably not memorable, lacking a depth and smoothness when compared to the classic Guiness, but drinkable and for a local product it was better than most craft brewery attempts at stout varieties.   We chose to split a Caesar's salad and chose the Spinach Pizza and Dog Pound Pizza for our main course. As we waited, numerous other staff came by to check on us verging on the edge of being annoying. While friendly in their approach, it seemed like a bit of overkill considering we had our drinks and were waiting for our pizzas. The place was less than half full, so they were probably just trying to be attentive and friendly. The salad and Dog Pound Pizza arrived soon after but there was no sign of my Spinach Pizza. If you'd like the salad before the pizza, I'd suggest you let them know in advance. After a few minutes we mentioned it to one of the servers checking on us, they went to check and returned saying it would be another 5 minutes or so - I think they forgot when they put the order into the kitchen.   The salad portion was quite large and was quite good for a Caesar salad and frankly, better than a lot of fancier establishments, plus there was enough for leftovers. We were a little disappointed with the pizzas themselves. The toppings were plentiful, maybe to a fault, and tasty but there was something lacking. For a specialty pizza place I would have expected a better crust - for both pizzas it was a bit soggy and difficult to lift off the plate for a proper bite. We ended up eating with a fork. Heartier appetites would finish the individually sized pizzas, but we had enough to take home for lunch the next day.   The atmosphere is sports bar like; the service prompt, courteous, and maybe a bit over-attentive; the portions and toppings generous; the price is extremely fair - a decent choice if you're in the neighborhood, but not quite a foodie destination establishment unless perhaps you're a beer enthusiast.

We made a last-minute decision to try for some of the nightly jazz (except Monday) at 18th & 21st on a Friday evening (Oct 2025), hip-ly named for the prohibition amendment and repeal :-) There's a free parking garage right across from the entrance of the building they share with a sister restaurant, Cured. We arrived in the bright seasonally-decorated welcoming lobby about 7:50pm. We ought to have made reservations, but in under 10min, the reception staff took us to the more intimate room towards the back where we were seated at at the bar, which is really what we wanted. When we arrived, the 6pm jazz band had just gone on break, so we felt free to chat with friendly regulars and with the bar staff. They have a changing list of ten craft beers from $6 to $21, plus one $6 non-alcoholic brew. Five of the $14-$35 per-glass vintage wines from their list of 17 are preserved with the "corovin" system that keeps air out, so they are never "corked". We focussed on their list of 11 crafted $13-$22 cocktails plus 5 non-alcoholic ones, all made with quality ingredients, each naming the staff member(s) (and guests) who formulated the recipe! We found Alex's $16 Fernetinez sublimely sweet: of bitter fernet amaro, Frederick-based locally-sourced award-winning McClintock One Last Time gin (exclusive for 18th&21st), smooth Luxardo liqueur, and a sweet vermouth. We loved the aroma and flavor of the classic Smoked Old Fashioned of bourbon from Kentucky's 10th-oldest distillery, Green River, moved to a mild well-rounded sweetness by brown sugar simple syrup, smoked in front of me by Mike (if i remember), with added richness from smoky bitters. They have a creative menu of $30 to $65 entrees, plus salads, small plates, apps, and sides, and they have a changing menu of small plates. We really hadn't planned on eating, but we couldn't resist. The $17 duck bao buns had thin tender filets with a sweet lightly-salty apricot-soy glaze and a tangy crunchy pickled cucumber slaw on a soft folded yeasted slightly-sweet white-flour bun. The $12 pair of fried fresh-tasting oysters were sweet and juicy with a light-flavored crunchy crust. They were so yummy, and easy to enjoy with our cocktails. Rodney Kelly's jazz band was excellent, playing with spirit, joking with each other and the audience, even staging a song or two with a skilled member of the restaurant staff. Afterwards we had brief moments with some of the band members, like an intimate jazz club. Later in the evening, i also had a Turkish Sunset, a Manhattan-variation created in a collaboration among the staff and a guest (Well-done Ozzie!). I love Elijah Craig, and wanted to try their dry toasted rye, with housemade allspice dram syrup, Small Hands grenadine, and bitters. By now, i felt very much at home with the staff, and when i learned that one of them had helped formulate this beverage, i confided that its amazing complexity was, for me, just a touch too dry. Alex (if i remember) considered the ingredients and the target flavors, and added just a touch of a sweet lemony liqueur, perfectly complimenting the recipe's flavors! Real-time crafting goes above and beyond, Thank you! (And when they next update the menu, maybe they'll have a custom option named for me :-)

Magnificent mustard came w pretzel. - Crab Dip - Plentiful, above average. - Frisco Chicken Sandwich - DE-licious !! - Brickoven Pies (Cheese) - A table hit!! - Bayou Burrito - A lot of flavor, great size. - Cheesesteak Eggrolls - The table couldn't get enough of this yumminess!! - Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta - Perfecto!! - Louisiana Red Jambalaya - Whoa! Large portion, flavorful, and very good. - Frisco Burger - Perfecto !! Very good. - Loaded Caesar (Small) - Fresh - Skillet Cookie- So rich, shareable. - Campfire Brownie - Rich in flavor, tasty. - Grand Marnier (Shot) - ** read below ** - Long Island Iced Tea - VERY smooth! Each and everything was great, except a double shot ordered at the table. It was smaller than a single shot. We didn't want to make a scene, so we dealt w it. But never again. Overall, it was a great visit! I look forward to returning to catch sporting events on 1 of the many TV's as well as Happy Hour.

    I came across their Tuesday crab cake special and had enough time to also make HH so how could I…read morenot. How could anyone not!? I decided upon their Escape Pina Colada Sour after Juan gave me a sample when he noticed my hesitancy and I agreed I could down a glass since it didn't taste like an actual beer after sipping lol I asked for a menu after some time had passed and after I tried scanning the QR code on the bar multiple times (don't do that. It's for the actual woodworker/carpenter lol) I saw their Tuesday special online but it wasn't mentioned on the menu so I asked and was informed it was only for the restaurant side (Frisco). I was confused because when I walked in on the Frisco side I asked the bartender about the brewery side since I knew I'd have to sample something before committing and was informed to go through the restroom door to reach it on the other side. I made sure to ask if I could also order food from over there as well and was informed I could. No worries though, Juan took care of me and was able to place the order for me. I was about to be bad and order fries but he recommended their parmesan risotto instead and I thought, of course! Then, I remembered they offered seasonal veggies and asked about it and to my happy surprise was informed they had bok choy or brussels sprouts! Either would be yummy so I quickly agreed. This is definitely a local's spot. Many people came in and were known my first names so I felt comforted by that. They're was also a manager on the phone figuring out a mishap with their POS system as well which made me feel like they were on their stuff. Highly appreciated plus he quickly picked up my keys when I dropped them also so I didn't have to get down from my seat. Speaking to a girlies heart The light was low so my pics show that and when I attempted to correct it, it just wasn't it lol. I enjoyed the bok choy and couldn't make out the flavors but they didn't take away from the slight pepperiness of it and the stalk still had it's crunch. But my crab cake was tasty. I don't know if i can get on board with the inside but being crazy hot. The one I had the day prior wasn't hot inside either and I don't want it deep fried . . . . . Hmmmmm, small I start a crab cake tour I've been awaiting this journey . . . . I shall! So this is officially stop No. 2 Crab cake was seasoned well. Not too much seasoning and not bland. The outside was covered with jumbo lump clusters and the color on the broil was perfect. Fresh parsley throughout and cocktail sauce was given but I wasn't going to take away from their version. Was it MD crab? I'm not sure but I feel like if it was, it would have been advertised as such. Still good and I'd order again. I can see myself coming back after work to take advantage of their HH many times in the future.

    We'll have to come back and try this place again on a night where they aren't swamped... We tried…read moreOversea on "R&B Night" and it was an epic fail. When we arrived, there were only a few people there and we were able to get a drink order in right away and they brought it to our table fairly quickly. But then the crown arrived and there were lines 10 people deep just to get an order in. Food (which we didn't order) was a nightmare; there were people's orders behind the bar for over 30 minutes just getting cold because they were too busy to figure out where the people were and no one was coming up to check on their orders. I waited in line for over half an hour just to close my tab. I'd recommend paying with each order... The drinks were not bad - the spirits (which are not made there) are decent, but are primarily mixers. They do sell bottles, but I didn't get any (granted I am a whiskey snob...). The music was WAY too loud and the DJ was just awful - he had zero personality whatsoever. My adult kids were the ones who wanted to bail, not us! Hope the next time is better...

    Date: Thursday, October 23rd, 2025 Time: around 5:45pm…read moreParty of: 3 *Lychee Lush ($9) *Oasium Gin Fizz ($9) *Mocktail ($7) *Single Malt Whiskey Old Fashion ($15) - Yes Smoke ($3) *Matcha Lover ($15) *Korean Espressotini ($16) *Red Bull ($5) *Chicken Karage ($9) *Takoyaki - 6 ($9) *Oversea Bourbon ($50) *Single Malt Whiskey ($60) *Tax ($17.94) We wanted to check out a distillery while in Maryland. This was conveniently located, so we decided to drop by. It's a huge space and not that many people were here, so we easily just grabbed a table. Turned out it was also trivia night. We did not officially play, but there was only one person competing, so we kinda helped out. The vibe here is akin to converted warehouse. But with spots for IG photo ops and such. We made it during happy hour, so I tried the lychee lush. Very sweet and kinda weak. Not really my thing. I did get the matcha drink next and asked if they could make it extra stiff. It was much better. Fun place to chill. And my friend liked their alcohol so much, he bought the two bottles listed above. REVIEW #3893
