    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!

    Is it unlimited play with paid admission?

    It is pay to play. On Tuesdays or Mondays it is a flat cover to enter and free play.

    Do you have to be 21 to enter ? I would love to come here with my teenage son.

    Hey Nancy! You do not have to be 21 to enter. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. However, at 11 PM we are 21 and up only. Feel free to bring your son, we have a lot of families that come regularly, especially… Read more

    I've been coming here consistently since July 2023, usually 4 to 6 days a week every single week,…read moreso this place has genuinely been a huge part of my routine and community. My Google review from a year ago gave this place five stars because it truly felt like an amazing space built around dogs, community, and responsible ownership. Looking back at that review now honestly makes the decline even more disappointing, because even just a year ago this place felt completely different in the best way. This place is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and the people who love them. For many members, our dogs are family, and that's why the recent direction of the business has become genuinely heartbreaking and honestly alarming to watch. A growing number of members are becoming deeply uncomfortable with the decision to repeatedly host large rave-style events at a facility specifically designed for dogs. After previous events, there were already serious concerns about the condition of the property afterward, even after professional cleaning crews had supposedly finished. Members and staff still found debris throughout the space and parking lot and many people are now questioning whether any environment used for late-night parties like this can realistically ever be cleaned well enough to guarantee dogs are safe there afterward. Dogs spend their entire time at this facility with their noses on the ground, sniffing turf, licking surfaces, and putting things in their mouths. That is exactly what dogs do. The idea that dangerous substances, residue, pills, or other hazardous materials could potentially be missed during cleanup is terrifying for pet owners. One mistake could have DEVASTATING consequences for someone's dog. The best comparison I can make is this: imagine if a daycare hosted large rave parties at night and then told parents the next morning that everything had been cleaned and was safe again. Most parents would never feel comfortable with that. That is exactly how many dog owners are starting to feel here. What made this weekend especially upsetting was learning that the business was supposed to reopen after the latest event, only for members to then receive notice that the facility would remain closed due to cleanup issues, with uncertainty about reopening even the next day. That only reinforced concerns that these events are creating problems far beyond a normal private party. At the same time, members continue paying premium annual fees while receiving reduced operating hours, less access, ongoing inventory problems at the bar, and repeated closures tied to outside events. Many people joined because this was marketed as a community-centered space focused on dogs, safety and responsible ownership. Lately, it feels like those priorities are no longer coming first. I know several members who are already questioning whether they will renew their memberships because trust in the safety and direction of the business is starting to disappear.

It was so good we had to order the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit too, loaded with two over hard fried eggs, crispy bacon, and American cheese. We finished with the Breakfast Tacos packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar jack, caramelized onion, hatch chile, and sriracha mayo on corn tortillas. I washed it all down with a Barrel Aged Irish Cream Fionn Imperial Porter and Caviar Cowboy Imperial Pastry Stout.

They had zero stouts bottled to go, and only their 8 year old average IPA in cans. It had nothing to do with the beer, but an order of chicken tenders were completely raw as well. they didnt charge us for the even worse replacements, but i wouldnt have paid anyway.
