Definitely a fun place to go back in time. The arcade machines really make it a different bar experience. They really have some gems for beer on tap that i liked. Personally my friends and I enjoyed the huge connect four game in the outside patio. We took pictures in the barbie box (of course) and not only to play but it was fun seeing all the old school games. It was kinda like being in a museum where they serve beer. The only thing i was concerned about was the amount of people they let in at one time. It was difficult to walk around the bar much less get to the bar. It's new so i definitely understand the large crowds but if you've never been there the long lines might scare you away. Nevertheless go try it! read more

This place was awesome! Drinks were a good price and the bartenders were attentive. The games are also pretty cheap, most of them only being a quarter. read more

The night I went to rubrics it made me feel like I was 14 years old. They have a hip bar and all of the games are 1/4. You can't beat a game for a quarter. They also have a comedy club connected to the restaurant if you need some laughs. I found the appetizers in there to be delightful and the comedy cracked my ribs. I can't wait to get back to rubrics. read more

I LOVE LOVE this place. If you like pin ball and arcade games this is your place! If you like drinking this is your place. If you like great pizza this is your place.

If you have little ones come on Sundays from 12-6 and have them see the games you used to play back in the day. Check out Rubiks, you won't regret it. So many picture stations too. You just have to come and see for yourself! read more

RAD - Goose beer and mule! Ummm! - Sports Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Fun place for date night. The drinks and service or magnificent. However, a lot of the games do not work or are not properly calibrated. Great place for selfies and nostalgia, however! read more

I'm reaching an age where reflection on my life weighs heavily on my daily thought and its places like Rubix Arcade Bar that capitalizes on that. It was only a matter of time before speciality lanes were carved out of the Dave & Busters model of gaming and guzzling. Air hockey and ales. Boss battles and beer. I'll stop there. Anyways, it's a specialty bar that hooks in the nostalgic soul with games of yore. Old arcade games riddle the walls and you can play then while you get hammered. The layout is really beneficial to the large crowd atmosphere that comes here on weekends and I gave them a great rating partially on the fact they had Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Try it if you're not familiar. Cool place and much more appealing then another bar in El Paso pushing a similar niche. Definitely worth a return. read more

Went to Rubik's on a Wednesday night for karaoke with friends. For a busy Wednesday night, bar service was attentive, coming over every 15 - 20 minutes or so, asking if we were good on drinks. Karaoke started around 10:30. Wish it would start a little earlier. 10:30 is pushing it past my bedtime, especially on a Wednesday. Overall, a fun bar for El Paso. read more

This place was something else! I went in as I wandered by with a friend on a friday night. The place was bouncing with energy and certainly had a younger vibe (I'd say college or shortly there after is the real target demo) but my old butt was still pretty welcome. Bar service was pretty good, especially in light of the crowd, although I'm not shy about bellying up. The music is blasting so don't expect great conversation, but that doesn't mean it can't be had. I found that the specialty drink (whatever it was) that I ordered was pretty much a sugar bomb and I would have been much better off without it. Additionally the prices are pretty high across the board. That said I had a great time and would stop back in if I was in the area. read more

I finally came in to check this place out! It was fun, they have a ton of video games, pinball games and the music was Awesome! I had high hopes for this place it it was great. I had the sour patch squishee and it was good. It's like going to your childhood playing games but now with booze so it's a lot better.the only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating was because the service was a little blah. I only saw my server twice, once for my original drink then to pay, I had to flag down two different servers to get a drink because he was more interested in talking to the bartender. But besides that I am going back!!!! I'll post more pics next time! read more

I went to Rubiks for the first time this weekend. I was excited to try an arcade bar. The first thing upon arrival that anyone will notice is the ambience of the place. The theme of this place is retro. There are posters and images of iconic 80s album covers on the wall. There are video monitors and screens projecting music videos adding some nostalgia to the place. On one side of the wall they have pinball machines that look fun and are fun. On the other side, along with all over the place, they have arcade games. They have games ranging from Mario Bros. to Mortal Kombat. There is a change machine just in case you don't have some. The drinks I tried were the Lady in Pink, which was delicious. It was a combination of strawberry lemonade with some vodka. It was garnished with a cherry. I had two =) on my second glass it seemed like there was more vodka than lemonade. I also had an Eeyore which had ginger beer and some other things....I'm not that much of a liquor connoisseur. I tried the pulp fiction which is a spicy drink that was garnished with a slice of jalapeno. It was interesting nonetheless. In conclusion, this is a great place to hang out with friends to have a few drinks and play some retro video games. The ambience is great. I give this place a 4.5/5. I will definitely be coming back and wish the business much luck. read more

My husband and I went here after visiting The Rib Hut (which we loved) on Mesa, great place, 80's video games, we are big time Pin Ball players and they have an awesome selection, not a place to bring kids and it still is primarily a Bar, downside: Management needs to keep up with the repairs of the games, 4 different Pin Ball machines were broke down, and from what we were told had been a few days....NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS! Other than that it's a great place, brings back memories. read more

My family planned my whole Mother's day around visiting this place. Based on their website and Yelp they should have been open since we even checked about 4 hours later. But no luck. Also no answer on the phone.Maybe closed down? read more

LOVE the throwback 80's theme here. This bar nails it on nostalgia with all the same details that matter. Came on a Sunday afternoon early enough for I could bring my teenager in with me. At first I thought their website led me astray on their hours because the parking lot was completely empty and the sign on the door said the hours were 3pm-2am. However the website indicates they are open at noon on Sundays and minors are welcome until 7 pm. Glad we got down and checked because they were indeed open. Bartender was friendly and helpful in making my teen a virgin drink. Cocktails were fun and themed and priced fairly. They were a little weak though. All the video games are fun and they had a wide variety, really reminiscent to my childhood arcades. I appreciate the fact that they still run on quarters and most were only one or two. Make sure to check out the neat patio and pose for some fun pictures in their props! read more

Went here on Saturday night and it was cool to see all the old video games. Some I haven't played in a long time like NFL blitz and NBA jam. I will be going back again one day just for the games. read more

I love this place because it brings back old memories and songs from 80's, 90s, and the arcades were the ones we grew up with even if my brothers were older ..I got to play Pac Man. I LIKE the tables and bar set up and employees very friendly. I liked using my quarters to play these games as well. My friends and nephew enjoyed the three hours we spent here. It was an experience you wil never forget. Also there was a guy who made fresh corn tortilla tacos and he had sirloin, pork with chorizo and fish..I took plenty of pictures read more

Get your cool on! Fun for everyone to play, ages 18-70. Play pinball, play old school videogames, play outdoor games on patio. Snap selfies and retro pics. Sports bars and night clubs are not the only place to get a drink and have fun. Think out of the box and have a game night. read more

Awesome vibe!! Karaoke night was my favorite. The arcade is super cheap and if you like a more quiet environment, the back/outside has a pool table and is a bit more relaxed. I was in town from Cali and I'm so glad we came, we had such a great time. read more

Friendly bartenders and good service. Cleverly themed drinks, but aren't that tasty. The few that I had/tried were incredibly to overly sweet and I typically like sweet drinks. Though disappointed...the ambiance, other patrons, and staff made up for it. They have a great location and I had a great time. read more

My husband & I went on Saturday. It was so much fun! They have a lot of old school games as well as good music. They play a variety of music which is nice. Relatively inexpensive as well! Would definitely recommend for a date night! read more

For a barcade, they have a LOT of arcade cabinets that don't work. Some of the pinball machines are missing buttons for the flippers, making them completely useless, and yet they still have them turned on. Not going back. read more

This is my favorite bar here in El Paso. The music is good and the games are fun. Haven't had a chance to try their appetizers. I recommend going when it's halloween! Though I must say that once it starts getting packed you have to make your way to get drinks. Every time I've gone I've had different experiences but all good ones read more

As a kid "born in the 80s, raised in the 90s", Rubiks is one of my favorite places in town. They have just about any game you can think of, and each are priced pretty reasonably to play without breaking the bank. (My change does seem to run out more quickly marathoning through Time Crisis though!) Come with fun-loving friends, have a Talk Nerdy to Me, and relish in some childhood nostalgia! read more

Love the idea of the vintage arcade games. The drinks are great, especially the watermelon chamoy. The bar tenders are really cool as well.

We showed up early and were the only people there. We had free reign over all of the games as well as unparalleled service from the bar tender. Had a great time playing pac man competitions and darts. We had my seven year old nephews in tow and Rubix was surprisingly kid friendly. Will be going back the next time we are in town. read more

Nostalgia!! Sweet Nostalgia!! I was really sad ELP doesn't have a Dave and Busters because I'm a kid at heart. But Rubiks has really eased the pain with their throwback games AND music jams AND decor! We had two of the squishees. All that was missing was someone to say "thank you, come again" when we left the bar to play some games. ;) Will be returning because Shredder is taunting me in my dreams now. read more

I popped in once for an event they were having. The event was garbage honestly, supposed to be for kids, but the arcade itself looks insanely cool! I could see the kid in my husband coming out as he took in all this arcade had to offer. If you're into arcades, definitely check this one out! read more

If I could give it 10 stars I would great place awesome atmosphere cheap games and decent drink prices. Love definitely going back soon.

i love this place, because i get to drink hang out with friends and play my favorite arcade games. You can spend hours here and not notice. Great atmosphere, great music, good times. not much more i can say read more

I went to this bar for the first time this passed weekend. Drinks were overpriced (5.50 for a Stella!!) and it took us waiting, staring at the bartenders for 10 minutes to finally get served. The arcade idea is cool but not worth going for overpriced drinks & then having to pay for games. There are other arcade bars that are cheaper & have free games (funkmeyers). Also, there was hardly any tables/chairs to sit down & talk with a small group of people. I don't know, just not my kind of bar maybe. Wouldn't recommend. Won't be going back. read more

They have drinks and a whole bunch of different arcades. I like that the patio area has a giant connect 4. My only issue is that the controls on some of the arcades are not super responsive. I lost to Glass Joe on Punch Out which is kind of embarrassing. read more

Nice place but got turned off when manager was yelling at his employees in front of us, it made it a bit uncomfortable.

First time in El Paso Came here on a Friday. It's a cool vibe. Games, booze and a DJ. Alot of kids But then again this is an arcade. So kids came in all ages. The female staff was cool for the most part. A lot of the male staff from what I saw were drinking on the job but this is a bar hopefully that wasn't the reason for the poor customer service. They had all kinds of classics arcades from PAC man to ninja turtles. Non smoking but they had an outside patio for that. All in all Good music, cheap beer, good times... 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 cool decorations for holidays and go all out for Halloween.. on Sundays you can bring your kids.. I loveeee this place. read more

By far one the coolest bars I've ever been to! It totally caters to the late 80s early 90s generations (25-34 crowd). It was honestly like reliving my childhood except alcohol was involved! Every single arcade game you can imagine from PacMan, Mortal Combat, Simpsons, Terminatros, Duck Hunt, Etc. Plus pinball machines too, some older like Kiss and Indiana Jones and new ones like Walking Dead. They also have some wickedly clever drinks some with pop rocks, gummy bears, and my favorite a Chamoy margarita! Sweet and spicy. Prices are also pretty good for drinks and the arcade games are only 25 cents like the old days! They plan old school MTV music videos, everything is 80s neon, they even have a Barbie box to take pics in, tire swings, giant tick tack toe, and a seesaw! Wish we had a bar like this in VA! read more

First time coming to this bar Feb 20,2015 and I was not disappointed. They have great drinks friendly staff and awesome games that will take you back to your childhood! Also they play great music read more

This place is awesome! The atmosphere brought me back to the arcades of my childhood and with an adult kick. I played games that I had completely forgotten about. The drinks have names that are fun and the way security covers the area lets you relax. The mix of young adults and the more refined (lol) mesh well! I will continue to go here! read more

Came here for the first time this weekend. I gotta say the concept is great! The arcade selection is amazing. If you love retro arcade games and pinball then this is your stop. If you're a girl and are not into gaming no worries their specialty drinks are amazing. They also have a ton of cool spots to take pictures at. If you're there check out the patio. I've never seen anything like it. I would really recommend this place to anyone bringing people from out of town, friends looking to hang out and even a date. You all have to try it! read more

I come from out of town and have always enjoyed going for the games for the past 3 years. Tonight I decided to invite my mom (65 years old). I carry my ID since I look younger than 30. However my mom didn't have her ID and the worker won't let her in without an ID. I speak to the manager and her reason is because of the TABC doesn't allow people in a bar without ID or even an expired ID and If the TABC come they would get a fine if anyone didn't have an ID(even though they are obviously NOT A MINOR). I have taken the TABC certificate class a while ago and knew that wAs a bogus reason. But just in case I was wrong I decided to look at it before putting my foot in my mouth. So upon reading it I was right! And I looked at your FAQ and your establishment doesn't require ALL ages to bring a photo ID. Your manager doesn't know what she is talking about and should actually READ TABC Age Verification / Checking IDs. Overall my mother, 65, was not allowed in!! Very disappointed. And I refuse to go back to your location and be told lies by your manager and having your worker with a shirt that says security try to intimidate me and my mother for speaking with the manger. FYI "State Law Texas state law does not require that a person over 21 provide any identification to purchase alcohol in Texas. There is nothing in the law that declares specific forms of ID as "valid" for an alcohol purchase. However, a person who sells a minor an alcoholic beverage does NOT commit an offense if the minor falsely represents himself to be 21 years old or older by displaying an apparently valid proof of identification that:" I guess my mom looks dang good!! read more

Really nice place to hangout, or go for some gaming. If your not drinking you can still have a good time. If you do not have change the staff is nice enough to give you change for the machines. This place is very clean, including restrooms. Some days certain games are pending maintenance. read more
