    This was a pretty cool retro arcade bar that had games ranging between $.50 to a dollar per play. They had a lot of pinballs and old school games. It's cash for the game tokens so be sure to have cash on hand or you'll need to use the atm on site. It was a fun time and would check it out if you enjoy the retro vibes!

    My boyfriend made a reservation for 3 people for trivia night. When we arrived and told them we had a reservation, we were told to sit anywhere. This was a bit confusing because at our usual trivia spot a reservation means having a specific table reserved. Maybe a reservation isn't required here? We arrived slightly before 7, but our server didn't come to our table until 15 minutes after, just after happy hour ended. She apologized for not serving us immediately because they were understaffed, which I understood. I asked her if we could still get happy hour because we arrived before 7, but she told us no because the computer would register it as after. I really hoped they had a way to override this and give it to us anyway (some restaurants do), but I'll give myself more time to catch happy hour next time. The atmosphere was overstimulating. The music was still played loud while the trivia questions were being read, and the arcade games added to the noise. It would've been better if they turned the music down or off at least while the questions were being read. The trivia host was kinda condescending, but I heard this was a guest host, so it's not always the same. Despite everything above, I had a good time and enjoyed my mango-man drink! I love fruity drinks and I can definitely see myself getting it again. My boyfriend enjoyed mine so much that he got one for himself too. We were in last place at the first half but finished 2nd after wagering all our points on the last question LOL. I think there's still room for improvement, but it was still a fun time and I will return! Especially because we now have $ to spend from our prize :)

    What a cool little retro-meets-modern joint! I went here for a work event, but I'd never heard of it and was pleasantly surprised! Take a look at all the cool stuff, and the food and service are really great too! We had catered wings, Mac-n-cheese, and various cookies, which were all yummy! I

    Big shout out to pixels!! We had a party of 30+ for a 60th birthday. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our whole time there. The food was delicious. We had a wonderful time.

    Philanthropic restaurant who supports our sons' little league. Visit on a Saturday afternoon earned 4/5 overall. Some challenges with parking and 1 waitress for the entire second floor (she was hustling though). My sons were with me and enjoyed the old school video games while we waited (a long time) for food and drinks. Good variety of beverages. Food menu had surprising number of options; prices on par w Ghent area dives. Hot chicken sandwich was better than expected, though I envisioned more than 5 macaroni noodles when I read the description. Tots looked good but found to be meh.

    Need I say more!! If Galaga is here--it MUST be cool!

    Simply put, this place is friggin' cool! Wow! I was catapulted back to the early 80's and my love of dropping quarter after quarter in a video game returned. If you EVER played it as a kid, trust me--that game is sitting in this two level bar. It's so coo!

    So, this is a very fun place. Felt like about 1/4 of the games were down. Kind of sad. But they still had a good selection and we had a good time. Apparently the trick is to not go on a Sunday afternoon/evening, if you want to try the food, they were 86 on a lot of things. However, what was available was pretty good. They staff was super friendly and the drinks were good. And this particular Sunday was slow and kind of quiet, so it was very relaxing. So maybe Sunday is the time to go. It is very easy to blow a chunk of change here. Each game is between 0.25 - 1.00, with all the good ones being 0.75 - 1.00. However, with the pinball machines, if you feed 2.00 in at once, you get 3 plays, which is good for me, I love pinball. Skiball machine is on a timer, and really low to the ground, wish they would raise it up about a foot, for my backs sake. kinda sucks having to beat the timer, but still fun. Overall 2 drinks, 2 apps, 2 meals and a lot of game play (about $20 worth) came out to about $90, not including tip. Our bartender, downstairs, was great, she got better than the 20%. I give 4 stars for the games and 3 stars for the food. Maybe if I was able to get some of the things I ordered I'd give it a 4. Maybe. We ordered 4 things, one of which was the nachos, it literally had 4 jalapeño slices and 3 tomatoes cubes on it. And looks like someone got over zealous scooping the black beans. Cheese was nothing to write home about either. But overall I'd go back for the games and the drinks, it was good time to play all the fun games from the childhood. I rank my decisions to eat / visit somewhere again as: 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it, I would rather go hungry. 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options are open and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go

    This was my first visit here. Very nostalgic place. Perfect casual date night spot. Variety of pinball machines to classics like Frogger, Pac-Man, Mrs Pac-Man, Galactica, Centipede, Mortal Kombat, air hockey, and many more. We tried the Philly loaded tots. They were decent. The tots were cooked perfectly, grilled onions, and a delicious cheese sauce. Real steak was used but needed to be cut into smaller chunks. It seemed like a steak that was cut into thirds. The cocktails are what's keeping this from 5 stars. The flavors didn't go well together. The other cocktail was Jaegermeister based with ginger beer. Had a black licorice taste. I would return!

    Arcarde games galore!

    Is it family friendly?

    We went in the day time on Saturday and there was a ton of younger children there. Ages from as young as five. They were having fun! Not sure about the night vibe though.

    Is there any space to reserve for a private party?

    Considering they occupy 2 floors and have al fresco seating, I would say yes, they have the space. But I'm not confident they actually reserve for private parties. It'd be best to confirm with Pixels directly. JV

    Fun idea, but execution needs work!!…read more I visited Circuit Social expecting a lively experience, but it didn't quite meet expectations. The concept is interesting, but some games were not working properly, and the overall setup felt a bit disorganized. The space looks nice, but it got crowded quickly, making it hard to enjoy the activities. Drinks were average for the price, and service was slow during peak times.

My boyfriend and I have visited 3 times prior to me leaving this review and each time we've had issues with the tap room card readers. The advertised price per fluid ounce isn't tabulated correctly on their systems and we've been overpriced each visit. We've brought the issue up to the staff before and one of our drinks were comped but overall not a great fix if you were to bring a large group or have more than 1 or 2 beverages. Game play was good in my opinion, unless you are a fan of pinball. Respectable selection but the gameplay is subpar. Most of the machines are missing lights or key switches to story modes. Also, pinabll being $1.00 per play with some of them having no ball save and high scores required for free play. There was a decent selection of games to choose from and about 8 or 9 pinball machines which attracted us there to begin with. Most of the games are $1 to play minus ski ball for $0.25 per play. We've never tried the food but each time we've gone we have seen people enjoying a plate or two. Cleanliness: overall the arcade area is pretty clean no major problems but the restrooms were a bit subpar in my opinion. The attached photo was taken 39 min after opening and there were zyn pouches and toilet paper on the stall floor. With the amount of people present at the time I think it was safe to say the restroom was not properly cleaned the evening prior. We'll continue to visit due to the purely due to the lack of arcades in the area but I probably won't put my card down for a bar tab again.

The restroom felt abandoned, floor was wet with ZERO caution signs or warnings . Btw the person that actually did clean the restroom was the sole person that actually gave a damn cuz I seen them in the office doing other work. There are 100 children of varying ages all crammed in the same section and the "staff" are sitting on the benches on their phones hire people who actually give a damn about safety or shut tf down before someone gets seriously hurt and I know nobody is paying attention because when I walked up the ramp to get my young ones for immediate departure, I had my shoes on.. nobody stopped me.. crazy what y'all got going on here.. do not come here!

I have had a…read morebirthday party there and have attended for various events but I'd like to make note that their machines are outdated, overpriced, and constantly breaking. We've been to other locations and they have way more to offer. The "prizes" are SHEIN quality. Their employees are helpful but need to clean better. Every table or area we took a break at was dirty and we came during a slow time so it was not busy at all. The bathrooms were so nasty that I had to go out to the mall to take my little to use the restroom. We don't normally eat here during our morning visits so I can't say much on their food or drinks. Overall, if it wasn't for the kids asking to stop by I would never frequent this location. We now tend to go across the street to the small crane arcade afterwords to at least get some bang for our bucks.

While I think she…read moredid her best and was very kind, she was still only one person. 2.We did the stack n play 1030-1230 party and we never received the chocolate syrup, strawberries, or whip cream(I was told it was still frozen and she did bring out a small plate after I asked with what she could gather from the frozen whip cream) we should have had pancakes, syrup, chocolate syrup, whip cream, sprinkles, strawberries, and Oreo crumbles per the website. 3.The drink containers were not filled until after the kids had already eaten and were asking for a beverage. 4. I kept the children at the table because the food was to be served at 1045 but was not served until 1100 which made it more difficult for us to stay on schedule. 5. The "unlimited" green games was very unfortunate as the amount of green games was extremely minimal. I was very shocked at how little games were actually green. It would be very nice if after the $10 is spent that the kids could still play any game but just not receive tickets. That truly limited them and was such a bummer. 6. Multiple cards (to include my birthday boys bracelet) stopped working even for green games. While they worked to fix this it took away even more of their playing time which was very frustrating. The employees also wanted to know which kid and which games specifically thinking it was a game issue so that too took time to work through. 7. The gratuity auto placed on the receipt is not just on food but also on the cost of the game cards which is strange. In addition it is not listed as gratuity but something else which had I not prepared for that ahead of time I would have missed this entirely. 8. I ordered 3 platters (grapes/strawberries/cheese) and bacon (but this was per person pricing of a side) it would be very nice if you offered some sides options in addition to the two pancakes per person for this breakfast party. The other times have so many options and this one I had to piece together to feel complete. Over all the host for our party was very kind and worked her best for us I feel. But there were multiple unfortunate frustrations for us which was a bummer.

Despite a lot of guests bowling at once, wait times were reasonable and the lanes had comfortable seating areas for everyone to relax between turns. Apex has a gigantic arcade, axe throwing, bumper cars, an immersive dark ride, escape rooms, high-speed go-kart racing, Hologate VR, laser tag, mini golf, pool tables, a ropes course, and even sports simulators!

Our only issue was when we went to the floor with the escape room to purchase tickets the person who helped us let us know what time the next escape and axe throwing session were and then we asked if we could do the minigolf course before the escape room. She said yes and charged us for it. Originally we had asked for 2 separate checks since we were with friends. But she just did it on one check and split the cost. She gave us only on receipt for it. When we went to the mini golf course there was a wait of about 8-9 people just for the first hole because of how over filled it was with kids. Kids just running around everywhere. We went back and just asked for a refund for the mini golf and we would just wait for the escape room since we didn't realize it was that packed with kids in there. We only had 25 minutes to kill and the first hole alone would take us those 25 minutes. The same person did the refund BUT she didn't tell us it would not be a refund but put it on two apex gift cards to use as credit....... She did not communicate this to us at all. She just said here you go and handed us those cards. I asked what is this and she said your refund.... That is not a refund that's like store credit. And we wouldn't have minded that if she just communicated it was non refundable.

We paid for a game of the VR experience which came with a choice of 5/6 different scenarios. We chose the prison which was recommended by the worker who was helping us. The controls weren't explained in depth so it was a learning experience. There were multiple times where we stepped out of the circle due to trying to figure out the mechanics.

There wasn't a display for pricing but we were told what the cost would be, I believe pricing should be displayed especially when entertainment is involved. I ended up checking in on the yelp app and got a coupon for doing so which was 15% off I believe.

Isn't somewhere I'd run back to experience again but I'm sure kids will enjoy the experience nonetheless.
