Admittedly I was very nervous because I'm not a competitive person and I don't like pressure. I made a reservation for a party of 8 and the staff was so friendly. It ended up just being my group and another birthday party which was really fun. The announcer was very nice and the games were CALM AND EASY. Thank god. Everyone had a fun time & enjoyed themselves.

They have 3 rooms to choose from depending on the difficulty level and the number of people in each group. We opted for Blue's Arena, which is best suited for 2-4 first-time players. There's a small locker area where you can store your belongings during the game. The hour we booked for was divided into 2 sessions. Each session features a different game with about 10-12 levels each. If you fail a level, no worries because you can always repeat it. You can also take a short break in between the sessions, which we definitely did because it was quite a good workout session.

The Ultimate Father-Son Rescue Mission: Knicks, Nachos, and Tears…read more ​The Knicks are in the Finals, MSG is electric, but every sports bar turned us away because my boys aren't 21 yet. Pivot. We marched straight into Dave & Buster's in Times Square, and it was the best executive decision I've ever made. ​We didn't just eat; we conducted a tactical assault on the menu: ​Mountain O' Nachos: A literal geological formation of chicken, queso, guac, and jalapeños. We absolutely demolished it. ​Smokehouse BBQ Ribs & Wings: Fall-off-the-bone honey BBQ pork ribs and buffalo wings. Messy perfection. ​Chicken Alfredo: Seasoned chicken, mushrooms, and creamy linguine. Surprisingly great! ​Naked Wings & Fries: The perfect bar food with a 5-sauce dipping gauntlet. ​Brookie Sundae Tower: Warm, gooey brownie-cookies stacked with ice cream and caramel. My sons' absolute favorite. ​Between commercial breaks, we burned off our 4th-quarter anxiety dominating at Hot Shot Baseball. The atmosphere was electric, and our bartender, Malinda, was an absolute MVP keeping the vibes immaculate. ​Then, the final buzzer sounded. 58 years of heartbreak--OVER. ​I looked at my sons, looked at the strangers next to us, and the tough-guy facade completely shattered. We cried. We wept. I held my boys tight, tears streaming down our faces, blubbering right along with a room full of New Yorkers. ​We spilled out onto the neon-lit streets of Times Square, screaming our lungs out into the night to celebrate the end of the drought. Basketball is just a game, but sharing history, shedding tears, and hugging your kids while the city burns with joy? That is forever. ​NEW YORK FOREVER. WE BACK.

I get there, the young man in the front breaks down the place and the various memberships they offer.

I know, I know...I should've just got the 20.00 one time charge, shit, better than the 30.00 membership that I was foolish enough to get (I swear that website had me gassed)! I was standing there like what if I like it and now I'll have to spend 20 plus an eventual 30. Fuck, ay dios mio, bloodclot!!! Okay, I checked out the first and second levels. Most of the gaming systems have issues: and the remotes are barely functional! Some consoles are not fully configured, and several are not logged into accounts, making proper gameplay impossible. The damn bartender is the one who is supposed to show you how to play the game. He didn't even know what to do and gave a lame ass sorry! The foosball table is entirely unusable, and the pool table is shaky and not steady. The atmosphere is just as bad. The absence of music creates a dull and lifeless atmosphere in the space. The staff appear to be entirely disengaged and unhelpful. I cancelled that damn membership with the quickness and made that boy show me the cancelled part on his screen. Fucking bye forever! Don't waste your time!

Against my better judgment, I decided to give it one more shot and it just confirmed everything I already suspected. Total waste of money, it's not worth it. Most of the gaming systems have issues: the remotes are barely functional, some consoles aren't even fully set up, and a few aren't signed into accounts so you can't even play properly. The foosball table is completely broken, and the pool table is wobbly and unstable. The atmosphere is just as bad. There's no music playing, which makes the entire place feel dull and lifeless. The employees seem completely uninterested and not helpful at all -- whether it's empty or packed, the service and vibe don't get any better. When it's crowded, it's even worse because there's barely any space to move around or enjoy yourself. Bottom line: I won't be coming back.

I would highly recommend BOWLERO for a business team building event. Everything was terrific. Some of the delicious food on the Buffet was barbecued boneless chicken wings, mini spring rolls ,pigs in a blanket, veggie burger sliders, french fries, tater tots, fried cauliflower with Parmesan was yummy and I can't remember the rest of the food but I can definitely tell you everything was delicious. We were each given Arcade Game Cards-like a plastic credit card-and could play the Arcade games for free, by simply swiping our card. I don't know the amount on the card, but I felt like I got to play a lot of games. All in all, this team building event was very nice, and a lot of fun. I appreciated the fact that it was a non-alcoholic event so nobody became stupid. A definite five star time. I'm sorry I don't have any photos to show you.

Luckily we arrived early, but it was a bit upsetting that they couldn't provide an estimate of how long the wait might be, only a list of how long some other groups have currently waited, ranging up to 3 hours, which is a long time to spend wandering around Times Square waiting for a text. I also had some arcade credit from another Groupon, which we used to keep ourselves entertained for about 45 minutes during our wait. We were so happy when we finally got the text that it was our turn to bowl. It was a bit cramped at our area, not having quite enough space for everyone to sit comfortably or easily get from the seats to the bowling area without needing others to shift around.

Frames never disappoints, but Adam behind the bar is truly the reason this place feels like home…read more I've known him for about 5 years now and every single time I come in, he's on point. He never forgets my drink order, always makes sure everyone is taken care of, and somehow remembers EVERYONE'S order like it's second nature.

Adam is not just an amazing bartender, he's an amazing human being. If you're going to Frames, make sure you stop by the front bar and see Adam. People like him are rare and definitely deserve recognition. Thank you for always making every visit a great one!

To be fair, still prefer the booze, but health first. We got a package where we had two hours of bowling and a bit of karaoke. We got caesar salad, pigs in a blanket, nachos, and chicken tenders. All was good except the nachos. Skip it. After a game of bowling, some of us stayed and did some karaoke. Personally think this is a good place to bowl, sing, and do other things like pingpong and pool, but the location is not ideal. Port authority gets really sketchy after dark. Would not go out of my way seeking this place out.

Adults can re-live their childhood memories while sipping cocktails. There is no cover charge, but all video game machines require non-refundable tokens. If you are planning to play for a while, purchase many coins because they will disappear fast. A majority of the games require 2-3 tokens. In order to be admitted entry, a photo ID is required. The bouncers at the door will inspect your bags for weapons and water bottles. Even bottled water isn't allowed into the bar, which is not fair because I always carry water while walking through the city. #barcade #barcadechelsea

Food was good when the correct items came. On another note, we wanted to cut a cake and they charged us 5$ per plate to cut the cake. Ridiculous honestly. This is a drag if you want to bring a group of people with you. Tried to reach out for a private event and there were so many rules including minimum of 10 people, we had 8... so it's not very friendly for bigger groups and if you want to cut a cake at the establishment, they make it too complicated when you just want to hang out with friends, play games, eat and celebrate. What a drag, we came all the way from Connecticut, we much more preferred the one in New Haven.

First, there is a record store on the first and second level, with tons of inventory from across the decades. I spent most of my time in the sorta-speakeasy-ish bar. Dark, retro. Drinks are pretty basic, but they have fun themes that go along with their karaoke setups. Bartenders were super nice and fun to talk to. The best part is I hit happy hour at just the right time and all my drinks were half price! They have a TON of karaoke rooms that you can rent out singularly or as a group. Prices vary, but you can hit karaoke happy hour and rent out a short time for yourself if you're just wanting to have some fun solo. Themes include superheroes, jazz, sunset blvd, the playboy room, adult movies of the 70s. There is something for everyone. It's off Times Square in midtown, so I don't hit this neighborhood often, but if you're in the area for a show, a great spot to grab a drink and kill some time before or after.

With the understanding that I'm definitely not the target demo for this place, this could have been…read moreworse. I came here for a work event in honor of a colleague's last day (who I suspect is VERY much the target demo) a few Tuesdays ago. My understanding is that we booked a 6pm to 8pm time slot, featuring an open bar - a cheaper open bar with house spirits, which is certainly what I would have emphasized to whomever had to review the bill later - and...ping pong. K-Town is only a few blocks from where we work, but it's JUST far enough where I rarely walk through it, and it also wasn't a huge destination when I was in college further downtown a little over 20 years ago. Seems edgy from my walks, particularly some of the divey restaurants, but there's probably a reason this might have literally been my debut in the neighborhood. Like nearby Five Iron Golf (and I'm guessing a lot of businesses in this area), Space Ping Pong requires you to go into a generic building lobby and take an elevator up to the actual establishment. I really don't remember this being a thing in literally any other NYC neighborhood but I'm open to feedback. There were employees downstairs - I think more so on behalf of the building overall versus specific businesses - that managed the influx of people and got them quickly onto the elevator and ultimately their destination. It was very blue in there. Space has a definite arcade/Dave & Busters vibe but also a legit bar, so you're getting some edgy, dim lighting to match. I had to deal with potential NJ Transit drama (a day that ends in a y, am I right?) so i only stayed for about 45 minutes. In that time, I did enjoy two refreshing tequila/grapefruits from the open bar, as well as several informal ping pong matches. On the booze front, these weren't particularly strong, which I didn't really care about, especially since it was a Tuesday and I wasn't trying to get into too much mischief. They tasted pleasant enough, and given that a lot of the alcohol here in terms of both spirits and cocktails was very obviously geared toward barely legal young pups (the menu massively gave off Hoboken) it was a marginal win for me. There was a food menu as well that I heard mixed things about after the fact, but I didn't sample the wares so who can say? That also looked like pretty generic bar food for what it's worth. I imagine people are coming for the ping pong primarily, not the refreshments. The ping pong? Also fine. I would suggest that the areas where the ping pong tables are have at least slightly better lighting. I'm not going to claim that the dim party lights played a hand in my ping pong mediocrity, but it WAS a little tough to see some of the lines on the table (which I'm sure have sophisticated names I'm unaware of). Just slightly brighter - you don't need medical examiner room vibes or anything. Also similar to bowling and its equivalent bumpers on the sides, maybe something to more easily catch or capture the errant ping pong balls? They DO have an employee or two pretty regularly going around with this scooper/sucker thing (I think they have this in golf too) but we had a lot of instances of ping pong balls ending up under tables or rolling off somewhere into the abyss. Debatable though; that's arguably part of the game and I don't think anyone's experience here markedly suffered as a result of a stray ball, especially given that there were tons of available ones to grab when the need presented itself. I didn't mind this. All respect to Space Ping Pong, I'm probably hitting up one of the restaurants next time I'm in the area.
