    How FUN is this place!? Friends brought food they got down the street, I got food from the truck in the parking lot with friendly folks (note: they do not speak English so I got to practice my Spanish!) Going inside, I expected a bar with a few games, but it was like a time warp and wall to wall games....old school, my-time games (arcade, pin-ball, skeeball, table video games - there's also air hockey and foosball)....! I ordered a flight of beers, the Lemon Waves, the most expensive thing - Cheap Songs I (which is a sour and I did NOT like it, I don't like sours, so there's that, but I gave it to my friend - she loved it)... Also got the Honey something and the Green Bench lager. My favorite, hands down, was the Lemon Waves! Well, it's a Hefeweizen, so no wonder. We ate our food, we played games - started with Galaga (my all-time fave), and shared a $5.25 token pot (little cup with 22 tokens), Frogger, skeeball, Donkey Kong, the Elvira pin-ball machine (cuz she's the sexiest of them all and I got 11M points!)... The bartender, Rob was nice, helpful, attentive, funny... We had a great experience here and I'd come back in a heartbeat!

    Stopped in this past weekend with my 11 year old son to play some retro video games. We have been to the Replay Museum a few times and enjoy it, but games are always broken when we go in there. So, we decided to try LP. I wasn't sure if kids were allowed at first, but after a quick online search, I found something that said kids were allowed with parents until 9pm. We also took advantage of the $8 Play All Day offer they were running. The inside is very much a pub-style establishment, but with fun arcade-themed decorations. The bathroom was very clean, which was a nice surprise. The bartender, who we purchased our wristbands and swag from, was very welcoming and friendly. I grew up in the neighborhood and we had a pleasant conversation about all the changes over the years. LP has a list of video games and pinball machines on their website, and it appeared to reflect what they actually had. All machines were in working order, which was great considering many of them were 35+ years old. My son loves pinball, so we spent a lot of time at those machines as well. They were mostly modern machines. I also noticed drink stands next to each machine to help prevent damage from liquids. The food truck was closed while we were there (it was storming outside), so we couldn't sample any of the food (that's why I'm only giving it Four Stars). But overall, my son and I had a great time. Will definitely go back again.

    Lowry Parcade opened right when my boyfriend and I started dating. It is basically the history of us and everything they celebrate another anniversary we are so happy for them. Rob, the owner, is so humble and is very friendly with all his customers. Wide array of games, challenging trivia on Tuesdays, and the best the brew master is just a couple great things this location has to offer. Can't wait to see the continued success of Lowry. Forever a parcader.

    Cool little spot! They have classic games, bartenders were nice. Lots of craft beer from different breweries, something for everyone!

    Lowery Parcade was probably one of my favorite stops on our recent trip to Tampa. We had a big day at the theme parks and wanted a place to chill, have a few beers, and play arcade games. We actually lucked out coming on a Monday night because all the arcade and pinball games are unlimited play for $5. It is a bummer we got there later in the evening; regardless, we played until last call and had a great time. The staff are friendly, and the beer was delicious. We ordered the 12oz North Coast Old Rasputin Nitro Stout ($6.00) & 16oz Civil Society Beach Access American Lager ($7). The food looks good; unfortunately, we did not get to try any this time around. However, on my next visit, I look forward to ordering their pulled pork with honey bourbon sauce ($10) and smoked wings rubbed then fried ($10). All-in-all, Lowery Parcade is great place to get away from reality for a while, have a few beers with friends and enjoy some fun gaming. If you have never been here before and live in Tampa, you are missing out; I highly recommend checking them out.

    We had so much fun on a Monday, free play for all of the games. These retro games really were a throwback and the 90s and early 2000s music. They also had gaming consoles like sega, Nintendo and X- box games. Skeeball, air hockey, Taito and tons of pinball machines. Great selection of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

    This is a fun place for gamers and non gamers. It's an easy place for a causal date or good place for older kids. I think kids can be there until 9 or so. They have quite a few arcade cabinet games and also quite a few pinball machines. Also skeeball, air hockey and bubble hockey. We had 3 adults and a 13 year old with us. Everyone had a great time. They have a pretty extensive beer selection and usually a food truck outside. They have many "free play" night for a straight fee and even karaoke. It's a nice place in the neighborhood to hang that's not just a bar.

    Loved this place! Such a cool spot to grab some drinks and play old school games. I recommend checking their schedule and going on one of their "$5 open play" because it was a Big Bang for our buck since we got to play all the games

    This place has so much potential. Just not quite 5 star yet. This is our first time here so we went up to the bar and got a drink. They have a nice selection of drinks and the bartender was very polite on answering my questions about the place. They have about 30 classic arcade machines, 15 pinball machines, an air hockey table, and a foosball table. I liked their variety of classic arcade games, from fighting games to shooting games. My favorite that night was Tetris and the Jurassic park game. We were sad there's no DDR, although that's been very hard to find now days. I was also hoping they have KillerQueen. I didn't like that some games cost more than 1 token and some machines ate my tokens. This place was cramped, they just need a bigger place.

    First time here and it won't be the last! A great place for a low-key date night or to just hang out with friends. Lowry has a great selection of craft beers, meade, cider and wine. They don't serve food, but there's a food truck on site (8 Bit Bytes). The staff was very friendly and let us try a couple of the beers before committing to a full glass. They have almost all the old school arcade games I grew up playing, as well as several pinball machines and a single skee-ball machine. The machines only take tokens, which you can purchase from the staff. Overall, a fun time!

    I was searching online for something fun for my teen son and I to do together, when I stumbled upon Lowry Parcade. My son is also Autistic with fairly limited interests, and video games and Pokemon rate the highest and strongest in those interests. Today's video games are just out of my league with their 4 toggles, 8 buttons, 2 triggers and 2 paddles per controller. So I was excited to be able to show my son some games from "my time" and connect with him thru an activity that he would enjoy. And boy, this place did not disappoint! So even tho this is a bar, minors are allowed until 11 p.m. They have specials every night of the week, and Monday is free game play night. So we chose to check it out on a Monday. While they do say it's only a limited amount of machines set to free play, there wasn't very many free games. Only one pinball machine was set to free and a few arcade games. But, their prices are really great honestly. We played for 2 hours on $15, and we only played a couple free games. I'm not a fan of beer, but I really enjoyed their pear cider. My son got their rootbeer on tap, and said he really liked it. He got a kick out of sitting at the bar with me, drinking "beers" and playing Supersmash Brothers together. Bartenders were really nice. The atmosphere was relaxed and we even got to pet some fellow patrons dogs. What a great time!

    This is my kind of hangout. Laid back, a really good cider on tap, friendly people, and tons of video and pinball games to play. It's so fun to be able to drink and play games. They conveniently have tables set up all around the games, so it's easy to put your drink on one of those instead of the actual game. Plus, you don't have to dig around for change either - they can give you tokens at the bar, and they also have a token machine that takes cash. I probably played more than my fair share of skee ball, but I also lost at Tales from the Crypt pinball, Donkey Kong, and some car game. While they don't serve food, I heard they frequently have food trucks. With plenty of parking, great selection of beers and ciders, and many games to be played, this might be my new favorite local's bar.

    I would go here all the time if I lived closer. We discovered this place on a Brew Bus tour and I am so glad it was one of the stops. I grew up going to arcades and this has the feel of an arcade from the 80s/90s but also the good beer of now. Pinball and Ms Pacman are what I like to play the most, and you will find several pinball machines here as well as a Ms Pacman. Other classic games include Asteroids, Donkey Kong and I believe I saw Tron. They also have gaming machines for people to play using a big screen. If you want to sit down and chill out, there is seating out front and they have a food truck there as well (maybe not all the time but they did that night.) One thing I love about this place is they have skinny little tables next to the machines so you can put your beverage down instead of having to put on the floor and risk someone bumping into it. I think this would be a great place to go on a date or with friends.

The inside is smaller than I anticipated it to be, but I enjoyed it. Made it seem homier. I was surprised to see the large outdoor seating area, which seems great for larger groups! Food: The wings are absolutely amazing. We ordered the 10 wings, plain, with hot and mild sauce and blue cheese on the side. The wings were so perfectly seasoned and almost reminded me of the wings on a rotisserie chicken, nicely smoked. We also got a plain cheese pizza pie, 18''. It came out fresh, hot, and the cheese and sauce had great flavor. It does have a thicker chewier crust. Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper, and garlic powder are available to add on top. There were a lot of fun pizza options/ combos and we'll be back to try the more interesting flavors. I'm also interested in trying the garlic parmesan wings. The nice thing about smaller joints like this is that the food comes out quick and so fresh! No food is sitting around when the kitchen is so close to the main dining area. Drinks: They have such a large variey of canned craft beers, ipa's, seltzers, and even non-alcoholic beers. There were also 6 different draft beers. I sipped on some Surfside's, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Tampa Export gold lager. It was a very light and crisp beer.

For this style of pizza, I'd definitely recommend getting something with sausage. The sausage was easily the best part for me, and this style of pizza really complemented the sausage they used. The crust had a little bit of a spongy texture which makes it a very filling pizza.
