First time to this Cidercade. I've been to a location in Houston before…read more Went on a Monday early afternoon. Great time to go since it was probably at 15% capacity. $12 all you can play is an insane deal. If there was anything like this where I live, I would be ecstatic. All the games I played were fully functional. They have a good mix between rhythm games, old school and new arcade games, and a ton of pinball machines. We got to play pretty much everything we wanted to without waiting with the exception of Jurassic Park and TMNT - those were constantly being used. If you live close by, be thankful these exist! I haven't seen anything like it outside of Texas. If you're in town visiting, plan for a day at Cidercade, ideally on a weekday morning/afternoon.

I'm really writing this to talk about the pizza. It would've been very easy to just offer some subpar pizza because people aren't going to a place like this for fine dining. Instead, this is actually some of the very best pizza in the city. Most of the time I would balk at the idea of paying these prices for pizza but here it is well worth it. As I mentioned, yes, it gets crowded and it's often hard to get to the more popular games, but you can always find something to do.

At 10pm an employee starts the "we're closing in an hour" speech over the PA and then proceeds to make longer, louder and ruder announcements for the next hour basically about how we're all lame for being there on a Sunday night and should just leave already. It was every 10 mins from 10:30 -11:00pm. I didn't really appreciate being bullied to leave while trying to enjoy games of pinball during their hours of operation :( Won't be coming back to this location again.

Very, very cool arcade. Majority rhythm and fighting games. Initial D driving game and DDR as well…read more Interesting tetris as well. Overall a very niche arcade for enthusiasts but the vibe is very cool. Machines are high quality and seem to be in good condition. The place could be cleaner - bathroom has a fight club vibe haha. It's a really smaller interior space so if you're claustrophobic or you're uncomfortable with COVID spacing, probably not the best place to stay for a while, especially if it is packed.

There's no where else to find things like Pop'n Music, and the depths and breadth of Dance Dance Revolution songs on the machine is absolutely unparalleled. Yes, you can easily burn though $20 an hour without trying, but you'll enjoy every minute and feel good about doing it, which is more than you can say about that overpriced single cocktail downtown. I'm already planning my next game day. This place is a treasure.

Pinstack has weekly specials Monday-Friday, 4pm-7pm and the BEST $5 frozen margaritas that will definitely make you feel a little bit prettier! ;)) The food is always made fresh & comes out hot.

The first room/entry is heavy traffic, where most people are dancing (or lack thereof) and also where the bar is. It gets pretty chaotic. If you manage to push through and head to the patio (left), you'll find some breathing room. While the venue leans into an "Asian" theme, it raises the question--are the owners actually Asian? That's where I get the major ick from. As you can guess, it's a hard no.

We got a large table for a group on the main floor and we all ordered a couple rounds of drinks. The vibes were fun, the drinks were strong and prices weren't bad. My favorite was a valentines special called the Jazzmine martini that came with a little lip gummy. It did clear out around 9:30 so that might be the time to go if you want to avoid the crowd. They have a special for $20 unlimited play through the end of February.

My friends recommended going to Blazer tag and billed it as the best laser tag place you've never…read morebeen to. Everything about the place reminded me of a time from decades ago, but in a good way. First, the outside has a painted sculpture of a UFO crashing into the corner of the building. The inside is still run on paper - paper tickets for prizes, paper slips for entry into the arena, and even paper printouts for you final score and statistics. We bought an unlimited pass, intending to play more than two times to get our money's worth. Every game starts with an instructional video that lasts a few minutes. If there are enough people, everyone is split into teams. With fewer people, it is a free for all. The arena itself is massive. They claim they are the largest laser tag arena in Texas. The web description states it is a multi-tiered complex spanning three stories, with bridges and towers. When playing, it felt like there were many places to hide or camp out for a while. It was also physically tiring to move around the whole environment - something I didn't really feel in smaller venues. For scoring, try to tag the gems as much as possible. You'll also want to be aggressive since kills have a much bigger benefit to your score compared to the minor point losses if you die. We played a total of three games and we had more fun when lots of people were playing. One game had a lot of kids from a birthday party. The last one had a variety of people including students and college students. Everyone was pretty friendly and folks were high fiving strangers. Is this experience for everyone? Probably not. But if you want to walk/crouch around for an hour or so while shooting a bunch of people with lasers, it's going to be hard to find a spot more fun than Blazer Tag.

The arena they have is state of the art, the equipment has always been clean each time. They have a great point system in which stats are taken, on efficiency, who got the most points and who lead the entire party. Even if you are waiting for your game they have a decent selection of food and they also have an arcade. The arcade is perfect because it still has a variety of games. I love blazer tag and recommend it for small and large parties.

When we walked up to the doors they were locked even though the sign says they open at 2pm , it was 2:30pm. A woman walked up & unlocked the doors for us, I just thought maybe it was for safety since it is located in a busy area. But no one was inside just her no other workers or people, it didn't smell like food or popcorn. Even though there was a machine.Very odd so not sure if they sell food or not. Good thing we had eaten before we went! So we pay for the baby to play in the jungle gym which was a very reasonable $5 maybe & $3 for mom to go in with him, she sold us a pair of socks for the baby $3, not bad at all. Even though he only went in once it's very dark and not too appealing. To play the arcade games you put $ on a reloadable card. The games go by points so each point is a quarter. There was plenty of seating area plenty of chairs & tables but just no people! :( I was kind of surprised for it being a Friday afternoon & summer time, no school for the kids. My grand baby immediately runs to the arcade games and they had lot's of toddler friendly rides for him which were all around 3 to 4 points. As we explored the other games I noticed a few broken ones, then as I really took a good look more & more were broken or missing parts. Even the air hockey was broken. I understand a few here & there but no it was a lot, I'm glad I didn't have my teenagers because they didn't have many options for that age group. The neighborhood it's located in is pretty rough so maybe parents just let their kids tear up the place over the years:( Not too sure but I really feel bad for this company. My toddler grandson enjoyed himself, it was pretty reasonable priceI would definitely take him back to play games if it stays in business.

Very nice place to spend a few hours with the kids…read more We took our 3 grandkids here recently to spend a few hours away from TV and electronics. It's a fairly reasonable place to go on hot summer afternoon. The kids spent an hour running around a large playscape. It always makes me pleased to see them come back to the table nice and sweaty for a drink. We got a pizza which wasn't too bad and a hot dog which he ate all of, so it must have been pretty good too. Then they got to play games and win coupons for "prizes". They each went through a $10 "game card" pretty quickly, but got to pick things they wanted. Although this place isn't squeaky clean, the staff were exceptionally nice. It wasn't terribly packed either, which is great for places like this. During the last 45 minutes unfortunately there was one little girl who was able to scream so loud (and frequently) that I jumped almost every time she let out one of her frequent squeals of joy. Can't blame that on anyone but the parents though and it's rare they'd do anything about it at a place like this.

We opted for a package that included an hour of bowling, food & drinks for the kids, and a $10 arcade game gift card per child. This package was pretty affordable at $18 per child. They have add one such as goody bags and food/drink options for adults. We added a couple food platters for adults and the goody bags. Pros: - Affordable and convenient - low stress - kids had an absolute blast Cons: - Overall service was very average and slow. Inexperienced party host staff. - Room wasn't set up / ready until bowling was nearly done. - Upon arriving at the venue we learned that they didn't have goody bags available that day. This was disappointing because I would've expected a heads up at least one day in advance so that we can make other arrangements. They did provide an extra $10 on each child's game card to make up for it, which was nice.

Horrible party venue for kids. The staff was 15 min late to start the party even though we were on…read moretheir clock and had a time limit to adhere too. They said that was normal . Our food came in 15 min increments. So we started off with one pizza then the second and third pizza came out 15 min apart. This meant no one got to eat all at once which is really weird . The staff was then late to take us to Lazer tag and told us we might have to skip it all together because our party host arrived 3 min late to the game even though it was part of the package we paid for and not our fault our party host was dragging her butt. After hearing every excuse in the world including having a "manager" basically shush me and act like I was being unreasonable for demanding they stick to the party plan and stop being late to everything. After all this we ended up having to stay an hour and a half later than we had planned to experience everything we paid for and half the kids had to leave by that time which was really upsetting. They have no respect for your time they just want your money and once they have it you're no longer important. They had the nerve to give us a 1 hour of bowling for free gift card (to make it up ) while they gave us a $475 bill and wanted a tip. As if we are ever going back. This is after hearing "we have other people besides you to attend to what do you expect us to do we can't fix everything". Like I'm supposed to pay for a party package and not expect to get everything I paid for because they have more than one party . Just lazy !!! They have ZERO accountability, not one person really gave a damn. It was more like a burden to have to work. The whole place is going down hill and the restrooms are beyond filthy. The food is atrocious and even when we had to wait came out cold. Never had such a trashy worthless waste of money experience in my life as I did at this place. This isn't an opinion it's what happened.
