I have heard about this place for years and stopped by for an event for my kid's class. Let me say, it is well worth it for anyone who played arcade games as a kid. Even as an adult, they are just as good. Of course you have to spend a little more than a quarter to play a game but still worth it. From various classic games as Pacman to pinball machines, you'll find a lot of options here. Then there is also a few pool tables to test your skills. Let me not forget there is also a bar that you can order drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Give this place a try. You might just like it. read more

Staff was fairly friendly. Food was average to slightly below average. Floor was sticky near the bar. The golf simulator did not work at all. I guess it's a good place if you have little kids and it's raining outside but other than that, it's pretty much the Temu version of Dave & Busters. read more

My new favorite place! Old school arcade with good food and drinks! It brought me back to 1982. We came here to celebrate and Rubiks did not disappoint. The staff were super friendly! They made us our favorite cocktails and the price was right. Food and drinks for 3 was $50 including tip. My kind of place. The games were mostly 2 tokens We played all kinds of games, Dig dug, Centipede, Pac-Man, Galaga, Frogger, and some shooter games like Time Crisis. They had a whole row of pinball! And they definitely took the advice of a previous Yrlper as there were plenty places to sit!! read more

Very cool when you go inside. Plenty of games and a full bar. My favorite area about this place is the mad hatter which is Alice in wonderland themed. Atmosphere was epic and the music was jamming. There's a couple things on the menu for food wise but it was good. We had nachos in a trash bin with carne Asada and it was pretty bomb. Something to experience while you're in the area. read more

I just left that place due to poor service. We got our first order of drinks right away and got our order taken. After that we didn't see Ivan for a good hour as he was chit chatting with one of the female bartenders who is also bad at her craft. Our order was given to us by the kitchen themselves as Ivan was still talking. I did say excuse me fairly loud to try and get his attention. The music wasn't loud but he kept on chatting away. Once the female bartender left then he started paying attention to the patrons at the bar. I immediately asked to close my tab since I had his attention. I do like the place. We had one amazing bartender, she was blonde and country and very attentive. If you get her you are in for good service. read more

I love this place! The location, space, decor, game options, and servers - I love this place. Had sooo much fun spending a night playing games and drinking. Our server was originally JP, but we ended up losing him. Rubiks is connected to Bueller's which is right next door. Black lights inside with 80s theme - I almost want to work here so I can dress in 80s everyday haha Get your quarters ready and bring some friends - it'll for sure be a night of fun! read more

This place is a 80's-90's haven for anyone looking for safe and fun entertainment for the day or evening. I loved the decor with all of the old movie posters and the classic radio hits from back in the day being played overhead. A friend introduced me to this place and our group spent a couple of hours playing team pac-man and old video games after a long day of work. There are TVs galore in here in case you want to watch 10 games at one time and plenty of libations to choose from if you desire. I was impressed by the sheer number of old-school pinball and original racing games from the 80s they have maintained. They even have new pinball machines with Game of Thrones and Star Wars themes and flashing LED lights. This place provides a nice clean space for your nostalgia to run wild. I only wish there were more of these in other cities! read more

Heard lots of great things and finally made it out. Such a cute and entertaining place. Really plays on your childhood, misc and dj and dance floor were great! read more

Terrible service. Sat at the bar for 15 minutes. No acknowledgement dron the bartenders. Not that they were serving anybody. Eye contact made and still ignored . Moderately crowded. Guess they don't need the business. Might have had a different outcome if I had a dress. Won't be back. May be better if you have a large group. I won't find out though. read more

Went here for the first time and had rude experience just to get in. Haven't gone here in a while until the other day I tried it again and again trouble, the huge man took long looking at my ID bending it and scratching it then asked for my full name and Address which I provided and he said it was wrong!! Then gave it to the other guy looked like a manager or something and did the same until he let me in and gave my ID which was correct on everything. Definitely would not recommend this place!!! read more

I wasn't overly impressed. We have one of these in my hometown and I feel about this one like I do the other one. There's A LOT of pinball machines. A decent amount of the games also don't really work, so you'll have to bug the bartenders for your money back. We played darts and there was a huge debacle with getting my hubby's ID back. Apparently, it was misplaced - But to top it off the bartender tried to hand him someone else's ID. Like seriously? Better check what they hand back to you, it might not be your ID. We left shortly after this issue. read more

For my first time it was quite disappointing. Asked for loaded fries and got "it's because we have a large party" and never got them. The bartender wasn't very attentive and the manager never asked what was up. Don't go when it's "busy" read more

The DJ on Wednesday stinks. I came with my friends on Wednesday for karaoke night and got skipped multiple times. I waited two hours and still have not been chosen to sing. I don't know the DJs name but he has long side burns. Also he chooses only the people he knows. I don't recommend coming here on Wednesdays, the other days idk. read more

Upon entering you are thrown back to the good ol' days. This is a mix of 80s and 90s inspired arcade bar. Between the black lights, neon sign, colorful slinkies hanging from the ceilings and artwork it's a fun little place. Theres a bar in the center with pinball machines and arcade games all along the walls. They have all the classic games i.e. Tetris, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger, even Dig Dug. Ok ok I'm geeking out and showing my age. Let me reel it back in. Lol. Dont come here expecting any new age games. This is strictly retro and I for one like that they kept it like that. The music playing was of the same eras and I couldn't help swing my hips while enjoying feeling like a teen again. They even have fun arcade inspired drinks. I tried the Hard candy cocktail which tasted like watermelon Jolly Rancher, very yummy. The beer selection is not as vast as I would've liked but still decent. The prices are affordable which was nice. Bring your cash so you can get quarters. Most games are .25 each. They do have a machine that dispenses quarters for you too. I think we spent about $40 on 4 beers and a cocktail and that included the $20 in quarters. The reason for the 3 stars is because of limited seating. It wouldve been cool if they added lounge seating. Some comfy couches would've been appreciated. Other than the bar stools theres no seating. I would've like to sit and enjoy the music and drinks. Theres also no finger foods. I had seen in photos on yelp food pics but they must've gotten rid of that because there was none. Finger foods or bar food would've been my suggestion. But that only gave us reason to go look for food elsewhere. All in all, I really enjoyed the experience of being catapulted to some of my best years. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I was too busy being a kid that my camera never made it out of my purse. read more

If you want to feel like a kid again, then this is the place! I didn't think I would get so excited about exploring this place. There are so many little details that really made this bar unique. Instead of the same old drinks and hanging out, the arcade really made my drinking experience 10x better. There are old arcade styled games, tire swings, and a giant connect four game that you can play with. There is also a decently sized patio in case you get tired of just being inside. This is a great bar to go to if you want something different then the typical bar. read more

Only reason I give this place a 4 star is because they had a few games that didn't work they didn't have no signs on. They did give me the money back. The wings were super good. Actually fried chicken wings. The bartenders were friendly and nice super helpful. Over all the place was amazing. They have all kinds of retro games I felt like a little kid with a beer in my hand. read more

Super fun atmosphere! Good drinks, and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the music. The mad hatter was great too

Fun place to go in El Paso. 80's music videos and sports on the tv. Almost felt like a bar from "Back to the Future 2" skee ball and lots of pinball machines. I would have busted some moves on the Simon dance floor, but dancing to "Come on Eileen" didn't feel right, lol. Fun place to chill. read more

What can you say about this place? It's definitely one of kind in El Paso. Yes, I am aware of another "similar" barcade out on the east side. But for those that actually know games and pinball machines this place is legit. I've been to some of the best arcades in the nation including Galloping Ghost and Underground Retrocade in the Chicago burbs. The quality of games and pinball machines is right up there with them. Actually, this place has a respectable line up than most other places yet alone in El Paso. There is no other place in El Paso that even comes close to their selection. But don't take my word for it check it out for yourself. I've been there many times. Oh yeah and did I mention almost all games are a quarter? Who doesn't have a few quarters lying around? Anyway, go check out Rubiks Arcade. You won't be disappointed. They have great drinks, fun atmosphere and a true legit arcade with pinball machines. What more could you ask for? Plus their selection keeps growing each month. I can't wait to go back there and play Donkey Kong, Tron and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cowabunga dude!!! read more

The bar is great! The bartenders are courteous and attentive to their customers' needs. There's also some very fun games to play!

Great atmosphere. From the murals on the wall to the 80s music videos playing over the bar and through the sound system. Was pleased to see they now have food. Good food. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich with a mountain of fries. Friends had the wings. Big wings and again a mountain of fries. They loved this place too. Great selection of beer on tap and a friendly crew working the bar. Will be visiting again, guaranteed. read more

Fun. Y'all gotta try this place. They have games like Track and Field, my girlfriend whooped me btw. They have other retro games like Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, Punch Out, a bunch of pinball machines too. And all the games are .25¢! Then...they have a Squishee machine where they basically make adult squishees, so good. Now I know why the Kwiki-mart was such a popular place in Springfield. I didn't get the barteneders name but he and the rest of the staff were on point. Even when you're playing The Walking Dead pinball or something, the staff still checks if you need anything. The music was an 80's and 90's mix and videos playing. I have to admit, it was cool watching Sublime's Santeria video. Memories of when MTV was about music and not pregnant 16yr olds. Great job guys and see y'all soon read more

This place is super fun and have all the arcade games from the 80s and 90s to keep you busy for hours. The atmosphere was super retro and and fun they had places to take pics like a giant Barbie box that you can stand inside. And a giant mural of Bravia and butthead on the wall they offer some funky frozen drinks inside or you can go next door to the bar and get a craft beer or mixed drink and Ferris buellers dive bar. The place makes you feel like you just walked into the 80s or 90s. read more

When I was a kid, growing up in a small community on the Oregon coast, video games were all the rage. The home systems like Atari and Sega were just coming out with their first platform games, hot on the heels of 'pong'. There were some serious full-size stand games being churned out from Japan, and the video arcade was born. My hometown arcade was called Earthport and I could only get there if my mom was going to the mall...I could tag along, she would give me a dollar and I could try my luck on DigDug or Donkey Kong. Spending an hour or two playing and watching others play video games were good times, indeed. Sadly, the death of the arcade came with the development of the modern home gaming console and more Internet gaming. Fewer and fewer arcades were able to survive without their legions of loyal gamers. Today, there are only a few examples of video arcades that I can tell you about: the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas NV, Pinballz in Austin, and Rubiks in El Paso. Rubiks is open 3p-2a daily, has a full bar and good music. It also has the largest assortment of pinball and full-size arcade games in the southwest. In fact, there is a big 'challenge board' that displays a bunch of 'to beat' scores for various pinball games along with their cash bounty...so, you beat the score, you get the cash! This is a GREAT place to kill a few hours, challenge your friends to a game of Tron, Donkey Kong or Galaga...and there are many other examples of great 80's/90's games for you to sink your teeth into and remember what it feels like to lose a pocketful of quarters and have nothing to show for it but carpal tunnel syndrome and a couple of new high scores...and walk out with an ear to ear grin, feeling like you invested a couple of hours to blow off some steam, already planning your next return to this adult playground. And I'm already itching to go back! read more

RAD - Awesome video game/pinball bar - Sports Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great place to let loose & take you back to the old days. Be spontaneous & try it once.

A+ for the theme and feel of this bar. Rocking music and old arcade games and pinball as far as the eye can see (under black light, of course.) I'm pretty sure all the games from my youth are living here, in a bar in El Paso. From Dig Dug to Galaga to Mortal Combat. Inky problem? I don't think the games are maintained well. I had a couple of quarters eaten and some of the buttons were, well, hard to push. (Like sticky?) I still had a helluva time. Drinks were strong and the music was good. read more

The beer price wasn't bad. Friendly staff. Need to come a bit buzzed tho. Eerie 90s feel to it.

This is a great spot! I love old school video games, and there is an abundance of them here--including favorites such as Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. Lots of pinball machines, a full bar in the middle, an overall great spot to hang out and spend some time for a 'lil while. Definitely recommend for a fun evening out. read more

Pros : great drink prices (Tron was $4), DJ played great 80s and 90s music, bartenders were great and attentive even despite being busy on a Friday night! Cons : like previous reviews, place does smell like vomit the second you walk on the door . And 50% of games don't work or take your money. Think they'd fix that by now. Overall we had a blast! read more

Great selection of games. For the 80's lover. Beware--not all games work and will take your money (table top Pac Man). read more

So I went to this arcade bar and thought it was really cool never knew Arcades had bars now which is sweet. I thought the music could have been better because they were playing alot of oldies (Michael Jackson, Prince, Green Day, ect.). Later on that night I would say around 10pm the DJ came out and took over and the whole Arcade and Bar experience was alot better. Great spot to catch up with friends, drink, and it wasn't that crowded at all. I assume not alot of people know about this place. read more

Rubik's is a pretty cool arcade bar. The atmosphere is fun. The place is packed with new and vintage arcade games as well as tons of pin ball machines. They always have interesting decorations for holidays and go all out for Halloween decorations. I typically go in on Wednesday nights for karaoke night. I've been here a few times on the weekend when it's much more crowded. The service is always quick. The bartenders have always been very friendly. Rubik's is different from the other bars around Mesa and a great change of pace. read more

Fun place! Reminds me of childhood! From the slushie drinks (adult version ), the giant barbie and GI Joe boxes, the arcade games. It's a 80's to 90's child's dream place. You could spend hours here alone, with a group, on a date, etc. And there is a new bar called Buellers connected next door which you can get more adult drinks at and play bar games. read more

This arcade bar was just o.k. to me.. I went here for the first time on Saturday. They have plenty of arcade games as other reviewers have mentioned. However, the bartenders weren't very attentive to guest, however they were friendly whenever they were able to talk to take my order, so there's that. My vodka and redbull tasted like there was way more redbull than vodka, I'm not sure if I got what I was paying for. I used the restroom here and the toilet lid was falling off the hinge and going to the side. Overall, it's an okay bar if you're looking for something to try but I wouldn't make it a priority to go back to this place. There is plenty of games to keep ya occupied while drinking weak alcoholic beverages. read more
