One of the few actual pool halls left in the area, and for a reason. This place has lived through the down turn of pool halls and arcades. The table are well maintained, they have a well stocked bar, and an OK food selection. The arcade is getting dated and could use some updates, but overall serves its function. Everyone from the staff I have ever encountered is always pleasant and quick to help!

Home of champions

This is a low key place to shoot with the best. The owner is in the Hall of Fame and they have free group lessons Sat 12-2. Also offer leagues, pool and darts, and great service. Arcade games for kids, great merchandise. Best of all, $$$ tournaments.

I like this place. I've been here many times. They have a good selection of arcade games and pinball machines that are old favorites.

The Sanctum - Welcome to the Pinball Heaven!

The Sanctum

The Sanctum is a pinball arcade, club and cooperative that opened in Meriden, Connecticut in 2014…read more It was founded by friends Jim Swain Jr. and Matt Boschert. The two decided to open their own pinball arcade when they realized that there was barely anywhere to play pinball in Connecticut. Swain and Boschert's goal wasn't just to open a place for recreational pinball gameplay, but also competitive pinball gameplay. Located on the second floor of an old factory building, The Sanctum is run in collaboration with the International Flipper Pinball Association. The name of the arcade is a reference to "entering the Sanctum", a feature on "The Shadow": a pinball machine adaptation of the 1994 film of the same name. The Sanctum is open every Monday night from 7PM to Midnight. It frequently hosts local leagues like the Connecticut, Rhode Island Pinball League (or "CRAP") who train to compete in regional and divisional pinball tournaments. However, customers don't need to be competitive players to gain entry. The Sanctum is open to all players (whether competitive or recreational) regardless of their age or gender. A $20 donation grants guests unlimited freeplay for the entire evening. Although food and beverages aren't served, guests may bring their own. I recently visited The Sanctum during one of their Monday night open houses. From the exterior of the old factory building, it's not obvious at all that there's a pinball arcade inside. After walking up the stairwell, and down a long winding hallway, I finally made my way to the entrance. I arrived shortly after they opened for the evening, and I felt like I was entering some sort of secret pinball speakeasy. I paid the $20 donation fee and began to explore The Sanctum's 50 machines. I was told that the machines get rotated out regularly. There was a good balance of new machines as well as classic ones. A lot of people were there to train for tournaments, but I was only interested in some old fashioned pinball fun. I had a blast! I ended up staying for almost the entire night and I probably tried just about every machine there. Some of my favorites included "Rush", "Alien", "Pulp Fiction", "The Shadow", "King Kong: Myth of Terror Island", "Godzilla" and "Evil Dead". This place is a pinball paradise and I can't wait to return! If you're a serious fan of pinball, then you need to go to the Sanctum!

CT's pinball mecca. Monday night play is a great time - $10 gets you free play from 6:30 to…read moremidnight and they've got an impressive lineup of 40+ games. They've also got pinball leagues which are.... needless today, out of my league. "Hidden gem" is a completely overused term but so appropriate for a wonderful spot like this.

We went here for New Year's Eve and chose this location because you could reserve lanes. Honestly,…read morethey're lucky to get 3 stars because the food saved them from a 2. We got the sampler platter and pizza, both were surprisingly good. Nothing fancy or Michelin-level, but enjoyable. The layout was awkward. The seating is tables and chairs instead of booths, which makes it hard to hang out, and there's no space to store shoes under the table. The tables are staggered, so when we arrived the group next to us was sitting at our table, which caused a domino effect of people swapping seats and walking through each other's space. This made food delivery to your lanes confusing -- instead of asking for lane numbers, staff were basically auctioning off food table to table. The arcade was minimal at best. It was fine, but probably not somewhere we'd rush back to. Spare Time is still better overall, in my opinion.

I like it here they have cosmic bowing and a two game with rental deal before a certain time and…read morethen a unlimited bowl after a certian time so check and plan the times according to what is the best deal for you. I think they redid the place recently because I remember the bar area differentently from theast time I went there and the arcade seems a lot bigger. They have a decent selection of food and an assortment of cocktails. You can order at the bar or waitstaff will come to your lane. I wish they have heavier balls for smaller fingers but it all worked out. I will go again
