    I love round one! I feel like I always catch something on the claws, and their games have pretty fair ticket payouts. It's definitely one of my favorite places to go, and my two year old loves it too! The service at the bar/when getting snacks could be a lot better; I've been the only person standing up there for 10 minutes without getting service before. Also, if you're thinking about renting a room for a birthday party I suggest not doing that. We spent a lot to rent a room for a couple hours and it was impossible to do cake, presents, and play games. I'd suggest going somewhere else, like Fujis, and then coming here afterwards.

    Having been to Round 1's in Japan, the US versions are a lot different. Japan's one are busy and buzzing with people & located in busy areas with plenty of foot traffic. This location is by the shopping center and that was quite void of foot traffic. This visit was busier than past visits, probably because it was Spring Break week and also an evening visit. There were people bowling and a number of people playing games---quite busy for a weeknight. There are a variety of machines, the rows claw machines are most in the front as you walk in and the other arcade games are in the back--rhythm/musical instrument games, dancing type games, basketball, driving, air hockey. It's definitely busier towards the back than the rows and rows of claw games. We spent most of our time playing the rhythm games, so there were no tickets to win or redeem and I cannot comment on that experience nor can I comment about the food. The place was bright, well lit and easy to navigate throughout the game center. All in all I had a good time and my visit was positive. It's a great place just to have some fun.

    I attended a post-conference happy hour and networking event at Round1 Eugene last weekend. It's been a very long time since I've visited any fun zone establishments like this, but the conference provided the perfect excuse to let loose and have some fun. We were immediately confronted with chaos in the food service area when we checked in for the happy hour. Diners are required to place their order at a kiosk, then wait for their number to be called. However, two of the three kiosks were out of order resulting in unnecessary confusion and a lengthy line. There were unfortunately problems on the game floor as well. A high percentage of the games were out of service, creating higher demand for popular attractions. As is customary with family fun centers, each of the games award patrons electronic tickets or physical tokens and cards that can be redeemed for prizes in the gift shop. Perhaps the most frustrating problem encountered at Round1 is that there is only one kiosk to redeem rewards, which results is an inordinate wait time to complete the necessary transaction. I was determined to collect my rewards, so I waited over 45 minutes as the three people in front of me each cashed out. The kiosk jammed up three times during the wait, and each time an attendant was called. It seems Round1 has cut corners in every way possible, as well as disincentivized patrons from redeeming their rewards. Their staff are overworked due to being constantly beckoned by unhappy customers frustrated by the the entire process. I wasn't a happy customer, I was surrounded by other unhappy customers, and I don't see how this chaotic system is sustainable. Visit Round1 at your own risk.

    Their Gitadora setup is awesome!

    Contrary to many of the negatives, I suppose the combination of my timing (early mornings/afternoons) and my few targets while on vacation enabled optimal fun times on my end. Before ending up at the Gitadora section, I took a stroll around to scope out the area for full vibe check. I've been to my local one here in Tukwila, WA pretty often so I'm likely comparing it to that. First off, many small & subtle details I like better. The lighting design plus a rather brighter carpet helps exude a pleasantly ambient lit floor area contrasted against the dark ceiling. This helps illuminate all the eye-level eye-candy, if you get my drift. The bathrooms were super clean, as well, which makes Tukwila look embarrassing. The dining & bowling areas were low-key, airy and seemed nice. Now ending up at my final destination: Gitadora. Yooo, dude! Again, I can't help it but this puts Tukwila to shame. Tukwila is good but this is _really_ good. Both the guitar & drum games have extra "bells & whistles" for that closer to stage/studio feeling. Great sound, too. I had a short vacation in town last month and this was one of my favorite spots, even if just 1-2 hours and a nice walk from downtown, to boot. Thumbs up! Cheers.

    Sonic all stars Basketball arcade game

    I really enjoy round1 as a late night place for activities. There claw machines, arcade machines, bowling, pool, ping pong, food, and dessert. The best value attraction for me is the sonic all stars machine which lets you play up to 4 stages of basketball if you're good at it. Over 2 minutes of basketball for about 6 or 7 credits. Staff to help get my card was seamless with not too long of a wait in line. Pros: - fun games - late hours - cheap ice cream - variety in activities Cons: - pricey games - occasional broken machine

    Here are some dirty carpet stains pretty nasty
    Matthew F.

    I love this place. You can do just about anything that your heart desires. You could sing in a room with your friends to hit songs and karaoke the night away. You could also bowl until your arm falls off. You want some alcoholic adult drinks well, they offer plenty. They're pretty damn expensive, but hey, when you're out things usually are Help is pretty good at counters for food and beverage, but could be a little better little bit more attentive little bit more engaging smile More maybe but I'll still come back here. This is a great place for fun with my kids. One thing I've noticed here over the last couple visits is their carpet is getting very disgusting. I mean like level breaking violation disgusting are some.

    Their rhythm game section is the best in my opinion, having acclaimed games such as Sound Vortex, Project Diva, and the latest Dance Dance Revolution.

Food is good(a little pricey) We tried 4 pizzas, breadsticks, romaine house salad, mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, and fries. Everything was good and came with dipping sauces without having to ask. The arcade area definitely needs some repair. A lot of the games weren't working at all, or appeared to be working but would just take your credit and then not work. Laser tag was closed, which was a little disappointing since we saw an ad for a laser tag deal on Thursday's. Mini golf was fun! Not any special theme or anything, but the course is fun and I would do it again. We heard an employee say "if you're in the building we won't kick you out" and that was indeed true. They let us finish our round of mini golf(that we started way to late) and didn't say a word.

We had racked up over 200 tickets playing skee ball, basketball, etc. So far we were enjoying ourselves. We played the coin drop game and were able to push over a tower and get several bonuses and racked up over 500 tickets on the drop alone plus another 200 or so in bonuses. We checked our ticket balance and it hadn't registered any of the tickets from the coin drop. I went to a worker there who told us since we had no "proof" of that many tickets that she couldn't justify giving us the full amount. She only gave us a partial credit (way less than half of what we were owed). Who knew we needed to record ourselves winning so many tickets to "prove" we weren't liars?! We still had money left on our arcade card and had been planning to order dinner there, but the whole experience soured us from patronizing them any further and we left. We aren't sure we will return to spend the rest of our credit on the arcade card, or redeem tickets we had accrued (minus a few hundred). It was just very disrespectful.

    Big City Gaming and Home Team Kitchen- 4 stars…read more Big City Gaming is a Sports Bar in Eugene. I went here on the 4th of July which is hella less annoying than 4th of July in the Mission in SF aka my hood. So my beloved Lotus Garden aka vegan Chinese food that is fab that I would frequent in the day when in lived in Eugene was closed on the 4th despite their website saying they were open and walked there to find out they only are currently doing take out. Damn like Kendrick Lamar So I walk back to Big City Gaming and the friendly bartender tells me that they have an all vegetarian menu even though it isn't pure veg aka they have non veg too. It's all good baby, baby. I am starving after walking heaps in the hard sun like Eddie Vedder. So I get some water and check out the all veg menu. Upon the bartender's suggestion I go with the jackfruit tacos. They were quite alright aka two corn tortillas filled with generous portions of fajita style grilled jackfruit, topped with cabbage, pico de gallo and our signature avocado crema sauce sprinkled with queso fresco. I decided to add vegan crema and non-dairy cheese for a buck. It hit the spot. I did feel like a fish out of water with all the screens showing baseball as basketball is my jam. I am a huge Warriors fan and sad we lost Donte yet he is going to the Knicks. Cool atmosphere with screens for sports and games such as shooting basketballs in the hoop etc. Recommended for sports night!

I've been…read morehere a few times when I was home; once upon a time there was a woman organizing a ladies game night and I went to it a few times, lots of fun. They have several tables set up in the back for folks to play games from the store's collection, or you can bring your own and play. They do have a good store collection if you're looking for something to try, or you can buy something off the shelf and give it a whirl! I was here once with someone who was looking for some novelty version of a Catan or something and the guy seemed a little snooty about it... or maybe it was Tixket to Ride? Anyway it might not be a game he plays but he works in a game shop so it would make sense to know about upcoming releases, and not say that it's not something he's interested in so he doesn't know. Board gamers can be snobby, but TTR is good and though it's not my #1 fave (that's Grand Austria Hotel), it's fun. They do have a really good selection of games here; I picked up my copy of Splendor here, as well as the Lanterns: The Emperor's Gifts expansion, and they have many of the standards like Brass, Catan, Carcassone, Dixit, and so on. I think but don't know if they buy used games, so give them a call if you have them. This store is actually the small one from my understanding. Their flagship is in Medford, which I haven't been to, but I think that's also where their distribution arm is as well. I have Kickstarted a LOT of games and it's always cool to see it's coming from Funagain; feels like supporting a hometown/near hometown business. Parking can be difficult here depending upon the time of day, events happening at the store, and events happening in the neighborhood. Luckily the LTD station isn't too far away so that is a solid transportation alternative.
