Definitely a rare gem for the area and just a few minutes from Beaumont. Took four kids ages 6-8, Grandma, and my Wife and I for a little birthday celebration. All of the vintage old-school quarter games like PackMan, Donkey Kong, Centipede, and all of the pinball machines plus more!!! The staff was great, the arcade was clean and all for a reasonable flat rate. Just walk up to any machine and press start and you're ready to go! We'll definitely be back! Thank you Retrovolt Arcade for being close to home!!! read more

Drop what you're doing & go have some fun 1984 high school style! Great place, nice people, super clean. All games in perfect working order, no quarters required. Pay by the hour or all day. Music was great! Danced, laughed & played games for a laid back Sun evening date night with my boo. read more

All the great classics and present pinball and arcade machines at one location. Everything on free play! Great fun for all ages, with the family or with a date. Staff is nice and friendly and they have great music too! read more

What a great place. Ton of games and pinball machines, all extremely well maintained. Staff is friendly, pricing is very fair and Back to the Future was playing on the screen. Pretty cool to step back in to my childhood for a while. read more

This is my first review on Yelp, but after tonight i felt inclined! We heard about this place from a friend just today so we had to come. We had an absolute blast! From the pinball machines and standup arcade games to the music and atmosphere, this place really shines! They might not have all your favorites but if you know your classics you'll certainly be able to find a few to spend your time. $10 gets you an hour, which flew by with all the fun we had, we had to get another! The staff was very friendly and laid back, not hounding you when you time is up but kindly reminding you that you can continue the fun for $10 more. We also had the pleasure to meet the owner who was absolutely friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be running the place! All in all I couldn't be happier with my experience and I can't wait to not only be back, but bring my old man with me! read more

The owner Bob responds to emails promptly. My wife realized that this place was on our way between stops to our next destination. She emailed Bob and he replied quick, When we arrived he gave my wife and i a tour before we paid. They have awesome pinball machines that are well maintained. If we had a problem with anything we let Bob and or his assistant know and they took care of it. Bob maintains his machines and they are in awesome shape! He even showed us the upgraded Elvira and the party monsters pinball that he installed a LED kit into. They don't serve food or drink but have a New York pizza place next door. After paying the entrance fee for a day pass, which is the best value, you get a wristband that allows you to go in and out all day. If you plan to stay over 2 hours get the day pass! We took pictures of our scores for Pindigo app. Bob checked on us a few times and even gave us a recommendation to play NBA fast-break In 2 player mode. That was a blast! He sells great retro merch including shirts etc. When we pass through town I hope to have time to stop again in the future. read more

I had a great time playing the games here. I paid for the all day play and it was totally worth it as I was there for close to eight hours. For a smaller place they had many of my favorite video games such as Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga and Tempest. They have a lot of older and newer pinball machines such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Metallica and Iron Maiden and older ones such as NBA, Game Show, Hook and an NFL one. Overall a good time and I would recommend this place to everyone. If I lived closer, I'd probably be there at least once a month. read more

This place is straight out of the 70's! Love the pinball madness! No complaints. Keep up the great work! Will return. read more

Great price, kids had a blast. They even have lots of stools for the little kids to reach the games. Had dinner at the pizza place next door, great night out with the family. We would go back! read more

See all

teenage son was not as interested as I. These games are a blast from the past and definitely more my era. Nice to see Donkey Kong, Millipede & Pac-Man. The pinball machines were fun too. Great time! read more

I can't share this place enough with everyone I meet , 10 $ an hour for adults and 5$ for kids 10 and under !! ALL GAMES ARE ON FREE PLAY !! NO QUARTERS!! THIS IS A CRAZY DEAL !!! Do you remember how fast you would go through $20 as a kid in 1989 at the arcade? All the games being on Freeplay including pinball gives you the opportunity to get those high scoresyou've always wanted and to beat those games you have always wanted to beat. They always have specials on holidays and charitable events, the owner Bob is an absolute hero and should be recognized as such!! read more

Took my kids a couple of weeks ago and it was really fun an nostalgic of my childhood. They had all the classics my parents taught me and my brother to play so it was fun playing the same games with my own children. read more

We booked a party on a Saturday afternoon for 20 guests. It was my first time here, and I was impressed to say the least. The party room is super cute and everything was set up and ready for us on time. You also get your own private bathroom, which was also super cutely decorated with painted murals. The arcade is on the smaller side, but not so small that we ever needed to wait for a turn on any game. The entire facility was extremely clean! And the staff was so helpful and friendly, checking to see if we needed anything frequently. I will definitely be back and I will be recommending it to friends! read more

This place is awesome, love the $10 deal, it's located next to a pizza place and a bar, perfect for a family night or for a drunken date night. read more

Awesome and local family friendly place. This arcade is 25 mins away from my folks' home in Rialto. It beats driving an hr. and traffic to Pasadena's Neon Retro Arcade, plus parking fees. The arcade is well maintained and ventilated. Service is friendly and great. It's spacious between the rows of game machines. $10 per hr. for playing is perfect, no worrying about coins or card credits. There's seating for non gamers like myself. There's ample parking outside too. read more

Love this arcade! So fun. You pay per hour (reasonable price). They have a variety of games to choose from. They do not have food but there is an amazing pizza place right next door. The only reason why it gets 4stars is because I wish there was more seating ! read more

This place popped up on my FB feed one day and next thing I knew I took the hour long drive to check it out. Great place, cool vibe and owner was super chill. Lots of older games of the 80s and a dozen+ pinball games as well. Several "current" Stern titles such as Godzilla, Stranger Things, Avengers just to name a few. Will defiantly be back! Arcades like this are a dying breed so I'm do my part to keep it alive read more

Fun time!!!! Did an hour. Next time buy an all day pass!catch lunch at the pizza placevlll.:6? I'll

This place is great! My 7 year old son Loved it! He has fun with a group of friends! We will be back soon!!

I brought my boyfriend here on a surprise date and we both absolutely loved it, so many of our favorites to play. You lose track of time with all the great selections! I recommend this place. The staff was great and I can't wait to go back! Thank you for such a memorable experience!! read more

Kids had a great time playing the retro games. Ss well as my husband and I. The guy working the counter was great we got an all day pass and spent a few hours there went to eat and came back. Free play after purchasing passes. So no mom can i have more $$. Great for a getaway read more

Went with my son and we had a blast, he now has a love for pinball just like his mama. The staff/owner are super friendly, they play great music and the selection is endless, I could played Pac-Man all night. I think it's so cool to have a place like this in our community to Share a little of my childhood with my kids. We will defiantly be back. read more

Absolutely incredible! this place has the finest collection of arcades and pinballs open to the public i have ever seen. the arcades are beautifully restored and fully operational. the pinball selection is top notch, all with amazing lighting customized by the owners. this place is the result of meticulous attention to detail and love for the games. i highly recommend this place to anyone looking to escape for a few hours and immerse themselves in something that is so meaningful and pure to gaming. the new store front building is painted in amazing thematicallly correct designs, and the 80s music pumps throughout the facility. warm friendly environment and absolutely thrilling games provide the perfect environment to hone your gaming skills and appreciate the classics. I will keep coming back, and i encourage all to give this place a shot, you will not regret it. read more

Honestly, a great place to come and have fun. Easy $10/hr for gameplay, and let's be honest, you can blow through a lot of games in that time. Fun and friendly staff, too. Love this place! read more

This place is amazing!!! Great staff! Great collection of games (especially pinball!!). We came all the way from Huntington Beach to play!! And it was WORTH IT!!!!! Great fun for all ages!! The pizza next door is delicious too!! read more

Hey people on Yelp this is the best place on earth do not come here on Monday but I love the game that they put in their retro vault and many more fun so you should bring your friends and family if you live in Redlands good for you read more

I did grow up during the coin op era of late 70's/80's...they cover a bit of every era and have a good selection of pinball..IMHO the pinball is where it's at..I love video games too and dug on alot of the classics...the $10/hr....thats a big maybe..I hear ya it's probably quite the undertaking maintaining the machines..labor of love for sure...but to get a constant $10/hr for coin op games???...I hope you guys can tweak it in a way so that fee can be reduced...I could make 3$ last longer at a Dave and Busters...but thats not hating..just alot of $$$...you pay less for Disneyland per Hour at that rate. read more

Love living a few minutes away. Every game I've ever loved growing up. In between some really good restaurants. Love this place I'll be back over and over again. How much do I need to write to make it a review? Just keeps saying my review is too short! read more

Great Place, I went there last night for the first time. All of the machines are in excellent condition. You can tell the owner and the staff really care about what they do. The place is quite amazing its kind of like going back in time to when arcades were everywhere, but its better. It has that perfect blend modernity and retro. read more

My boyfriend and I got the opportunity to stumble across this hidden gem and boiiii I'm so glad we did. You pay by the hour or can choose from an all day pass. We ended up with purchasing the all day pass, glad we did because we spent three hours straight playing some of the most classic games of all times. Glad this place exist and I will definitely keep on coming by and supporting! read more

This place is great to take a step back into the 80's. Tons of classic games and pin ball machines. I like that you pay a flat fee rather than paying for each game. 7year old son did not want to leave. read more

This Old School arcade is the BEST! if you really like the 80s games they also have pinball machines to its lit. It cost $10 dollars to play per hour with bunch of excitement! The service here is great they always make sure the games and pinball machines work. So I will come back again. read more

Kudos to these guys to bring in some classic arcade/pinball machines for a little "turn back the clock" fun. I took my 12 year old grandson and he loved it. Lots of variety arcades to play and all in one place. You pay per hour for all free play on the machines so no running out of card money or dealing with coins. At $10 hour seems pretty reasonable and they have a second hour at discount. The place is very clean kept and the owners are very nice. With this place so new and location right next door to a well known pizza place I hope they do well. read more

Great place to take the family!! My kids had a great time. The staff and owner are friendly, it is clean. Not overpriced. Family pricing available. Will definitely be returning. read more

This was the best maintained "all you can play" arcade I've been too. Well maintained machines, good variety. Highly recommend.

Cool place to go play some old school arcade games. I threw my sons bday party here and the kids had a blast. The owners and staff were really friendly and helpful. I definitely will be returning. read more

I did not have the distinct honor of growing up during the Golden Years of the American Arcade (late Seventies-mid Eighties). I actually grew up during the Nineties when the American Arcade began a slow, painful descent into non-existence. During that particular decade, with each passing year, pinball machines became less and less prevalent and the classic single or multiplayer arcade consoles were giving way to more technologically advanced ticket-based games. "Arcades" as I grew up knowing them became more like bars and restaurants that just happened to feature one or two arcade cabinets, nary a pinball machine to be found. This slow change was inevitable, as Arcades became less and less meaningful with the advancement of home console gaming. While I personally didn't have a problem with home gaming becoming the new trend, I began to miss the excitement of going out to an Arcade and spending a couple of hours (and significantly more quarters) playing pinball, facing off against a friend in Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter, or gathering three other players together to grind our way through The Simpsons. A couple of years ago, I went to an amusement park that featured the Gold Standard of Arcades when I was much younger than I am right now. I went with a couple of friends to celebrate a birthday, but I instead wound up attending a funeral. The inside of the Arcade reeked of mold thanks to the water dripping from the ceiling, several of the machines didn't work due to a combination of water damage and pure neglect, and nearly all of the employees on duty that day looked absolutely morbid. I was so disheartened by what I saw that I had to leave my group of friends for a few minutes so as not to lower the morale of the birthday celebration. I began to sob uncontrollably at the idea that the American Arcade had finally, and irrevocably, died, never to emerge again. On Friday, July 21st, like Lazarus rising from the grave, Retrovolt arose and showed me how wrong I was. Although I didn't actually count, I'd imagine that there were approximately fifty machines in the building, about a third of which were pinball machines. I started playing pinball machines right off the bat, playing about six in the first few minutes. The ball got stuck on several machines, and when I pointed it out, they were immediately fixed, the lone exception being the Pac-Man/Ms. Pac Man table, which had to be physically opened (the ball had got caught on a magnetic portion of the board). At one point, a ball got stuck on the Monday Night Football 20th Anniversary table, and when one of the associates helped me release the ball, it immediately went down the center lane and I lost that particular play. I noticed the associate got a little tense when this happened, as he was likely expecting me to give him an earful over the matter, but he relaxed when I started laughing. This leads me to point out something very specific about Retrovolt Arcade: the machines, while well-maintained, are older machines, and are therefore capable of various issues and malfunctions. I personally only had three issues with the machines, and they were taken care of in a fair amount of time, and there were many other machines to choose from while I waited. I was shocked at how easily people moved from one machine to the next. In my experience, most people tend to cling to a machine and play through it the entire time they're there, stubbornly refusing to yield the machine to any newcomers. This never transpired at Retrovolt, even with the children that were present, so that made the experience all the more worthwhile. The music selection at Retrovolt is absolutely fantastic. Drawing almost exclusively from music from the Seventies and Eighties, Retrovolt Arcade felt like a time machine taking me back to that fabled Golden Era of Arcades that I was unfortunate to not experience, since I was born in '87. In one particular twenty minute stretch, I heard ABBA, Bruce Springsteen, .38 Special, and Fleetwood Mac. As a Classic Rock Junkie, the presence of these artists over the speakers got me so amped up that I wasn't even annoyed or frustrated when I made a mistake. The soundtrack fueled me so much that I eventually posted the top three high scores on Dig-Dug (look for the initials "DRF" when you go, if they're still there). I cannot possibly recommend this place any more emphatically. Although Retrovolt Arcade could definitely improve with an expansion, what they offer in their current incarnation is a fantastic treat. With a reasonable price ($10 per hour), unlimited free play on all machines, and a great staff, Retrovolt Retrovolt Arcade offers nearly everything that a fan of old school Arcades could possibly love. You simply must go when the opportunity presents itself. Bravo! read more

Thought I'd try this place with my girlfriend as a different kind of date night. Was not disappointed in the slightest. From the 80's soundtrack blasting to the old arcade cabinets I haven't seen in ages, it was a blast! The guy at the register was super cool with us. Not a single bad thing to say about this place. Will be back very soon! read more

Today I brought my son and his best friend to this lovely arcade, it was very nostalgic made me feel like I was in a 80's time capsule, while you were in the arcade you truly felt like you were in a different era, it was wonderful, very colorful, beautiful, extremely neat art surrounding the whole arcade, great 80's music playing , the lights were dimmed perfectly so you could enjoy all the colors of the games. They had very nice pinball machines and lots of arcade games to enjoy. The cost was great as well, $10 each player for an hour, no coins necessary, or you can play for $5 for a half hour. They have soda for sale, and right next door there is a pizza house, sushi, and very nice cafe. This is a great place to spend time in. One more thing there is a giant display screen you could see your games being played on which was super cool. Kind staff. read more

This place is awesome! Straight back to the 80's! Staff is friendly and all the machines were in great working order. I took my 2 boys and for 10 bucks each, we got an hour of free play. They loved it and I spent all my time on pinball. We will definitely be back! read more
