    We LOVED this place! What a great place where kids can enjoy AND adults! I love how they have a separate 21 + area but it's so accessible to the game area! We all had so much fun playing games and having some drinks! The games are also reasonably prices so it's not a total rip off like a lot of other places! I appreciated the seating areas as well inside. I only wish it was larger!!!! This place could easier be 4x the size and people would come! It's so nice to have a place where adults can enjoy time with the kids!

    Wow! What a blast! This place has it all. From pinball games to pool, basketball air hockey Pac-Man you name it they got it. Love this place love to eat that they're so welcoming! FULL bar everyone! Bartender was awesome. Made one of the best martinis I've had in a long time. Can't wait to go back with a group of friends and just have fun. Lots of places, sit down and relax and chat with your friends, or if you just wanna go hang out by yourself it's definitely a place to go. Grab your family, but make sure they're not minors!

    Press start is a amazing fun place with all kinds of different arcade machines all the way from Pac-Man to you name it a lot of fun for everybody. I'm sure it's got a game for all they have a bar. This was a great event yelp event toy drive

    Press Start is easily the best pinball arcade in Reno. If you love pinball, this arcade has the best maintained and biggest unique collection of machines that get changed out regularly and always work great. There is also a myriad of old classic arcade games, booths with free NES, Super Nintendo, and Genesis console games as well as your typical air hockey, rod hockey, and basketball shootout. They have an awesome bar with beer happy hours and video games inspired cocktails and are also neighbored with Cluckers with a takeout window built in the entrance if you're hungry. Overall it is a small good old fashioned arcade without ticket games or prizes and great vibes. Only thing I wish is that they were still quarter operated as they recently switched to tokens, but I understand the need for them in this day and age.

    A great pinball set, awesome classic arcade games, and a dope Old School Wrestling bar menu!! Stop buy for a great time and not having to break the bank... excited about the new pizza spot next door

    First time here was great! Very straight forward, use quarters to play the game. $3 fee to use atm, but can always get change from the chicken place nearby. Great selection of new and retro games! Pinball was my favorite and the chicken place nearby was great/ affordable for the big portions, with a few tables located in the arcade and bar. Will go back!

    What a fun experience! There are so many different arcade games, pinball machines, and more to satiate your inner child. My favorite game was the table ones containing classic games like Super Mario Kart. In the back, there's a bar where you can get some drinks to go well with some competitive nights

    Here's why I'm excited to share this review- Press Start has an awesome NA selection of beers and even an NA canned cocktail- a G&T. That's very cool, Press Start Team! Thank you for the consideration and being on the cutting edge.

    Very fun place to hang out and play unlimited arcade games from 4 person Pac-Man, basketball, donkey Kong, and air hockey!

    So many pinball games! Staff is nice and they do serve food next door. If you have children, be aware of the time when they kick them out. They do have a separate bar area but this includes all areas of the venue.

    Donkey kong!!

It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

It was still pretty crowded which was nice to see, so we grabbed a spot at the bar. The bartender was friendly and quick to serve us. We ordered some draft beers, they had a good selection available. We then ordered the Crab and Artichoke skillet as an appetizer, and the Stuffed Avocado salad and Fish and Chips as our entrees. The skillet came out first but shortly after we received our entrees. That was actually a good thing because they were a good compliment to eat all together. It was more than enough food for 2 people and everything was delicious. The stuffed Avocado salad was interesting and it was delicious. The fish and chips were good, the fish was more of a tender which was actually nice because it wasn't greasy. Not sure I would order it again because there are so many other good options on the menu, but it was good. The artichoke and Crab skillet was excellent as well. We both left satisfied and impressed by the overall quality and service, already planning to go back again when the patio opens because they will let you have dogs which is always a big bonus!
