Sometimes you just want to have fun! And sometimes you want to go back to when you were a kid. Blue Ghost Arcade bar is located in Downtown Woodstock. It is easy to locate. It's in a shopping center with several food and other establishments. When I was a teen, I remember going with friends to arcade to hang out and meet boys. Blue Ghost has several classic arcade games like centipede, Tetris, Mario Bros, Super Mario Brothers, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and many more. It has many board games behind the front desk you can get to play at the tables throughout. There are flat screens up front with couches that can be reserved for parties. You pay $15 per person to play all you want until closing. Monthly membership is $60 and don't recall the annual rate. Not bad considering how many quarters I remember pumping into these machines as a kid. Adults and kids are allowed. They have theme nights through the week. The bar has a decent selection for an adult beverage. No food which is the drawback. You can bring outside food in. You can Doordash or have food delivered. I think if they had food be 5 stars for me. The nostalgia from playing so many old games from my teens did it for me. Check it out for a laid back date night. Take the kids and chill out. They do have Xbox and Playstation as well.

"The gaming world is a complete mystery to me! Well, I did play Pac Man and Frogger using big machines at an arcade back in the '80s." Doug Jones I also grew up in the 80's arcades. I still remember the exhilaration of mounting our bikes with a pocket full of quarters and heading to the arcade at the mall. I'll always remember stepping into the electric energy of the lights and sounds of the arcade. Coupled with the opportunity of meeting girls, there was nothing else like it for a fourteen year old. I spent many hours, and many quarters playing Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Galaga, and Centipede. Later on it was Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, and Killer Instinct. Blue Ghost has them all. For $15 you get a wristband and unlimited play all day, even if you leave to take in the rest of downtown Woodstock. With no need for quarters, you can go from game to game, and time really does fly as you challenge yourself on the row of pinball machines and classic games. There is a bar available Monday through Saturday, something we did not have in the 80's. I loved Blue Ghost, and will definitely be back. Thinking about growing a mullet again!

Cool VHS wall, those are really vhs tapes.

For $15 you get an all day play pass. Games range from retro cabinets to a bit more updated ones, pinball machines, and game consoles. Behind the counter were a large library of board games.The team here was really helpful when I asked to get set up on the Nintendo switch. Blue ghost has a chill atmosphere where both kids and adults can enjoy. I tried out the bob omb a gin that was pretty good in addition to a local cider. There's also snacks that you can purchase here. Blue ghost is a cool spot located right outside of downtown Woodstock, great for lounging around with friends, play some Jack box, or just popping in solo dolo for a drink and to get a high score on a pin ball machine. Unrelated idk who ASS is but they got a high score on a lot of games there.

''Modern day arcade'' really is what you can say in short about this place. What more is that they…read morehave a great team that cares about the community and wants to see people come together through game play. Kris and his team are family oriented and has a lot to offer here for the kids or the kid in the adults that just want to play with other grown-ups for a bit in an open, friendly environment! They are in the works of creating more events but very open to feedback as well as suggestions and ideas for events, which is a big thing that I like about this place! Not many businesses the community can call something that they really share like that. Other things that I noticed (as one might in a place like this) is the cleanliness and the organization of the place. They really do keep it presentable and clean which is important to help keep patrons healthy and the germs away! This was something I pointed out and they told me that they keep the place clean as possible on a regular basis. I can get behind this! So, if you are looking for the next memorable birthday bash for your kids, a place for them to play while you have a date of your own, or you just want to check out the latest and greatest games in a laid back environment for a great price, give them a call and check this place out! You heard it from me first. This place has potential to be a highlight in the Kennesaw community!

I would recommend this place to everyone. Plenty of space for all the kids and so many gaming options to choose from. They offer open play time... Parents Night Outs... And so much more.

My nephew's birthday was held here and I must say it was a wonderful first-time visit experience…read more Not sure if it was because of the upcoming holiday but for a Saturday afternoon just before Thanksgiving this place was soooooo quiet which probably made this visit even better. Located just off Mansell and next door to Sam's Club, parking was a breeze and the only issue we had was due to built up traffic from Sam's Club when we were leaving. There was plenty of space for the kiddos to have the time of their life with bowling, laser tag, and arcade games. There's an obstacle course as well but I did not see anyone on it. I liked that there were two huge separate spaces for bowling and the graphics for the kiddos bowling time was festive and they had bumpers and this cute little dinosaur assist that they could use to push the bowling ball down and they loved it. The arcade space was huge and there were a ton of options for all ages. Unfortunately a lot of the games were not working so we ended up playing a lot of the same game multiple times. For those who win enough "tickets" there's a huge "Winner's Circle" room to select the prize(s) of your choice. The kiddos also played laser tag and had a complete blast! There's a huge restaurant space and pizza spot inside but both were closed at the time. The bar area was nice and there were a good people hanging around there watching games. There a big open space for those celebrating birthdays but no private rooms that I could see so while there were several parties happening at the same time, there were moments of chaos between kids from different groups being in the same space and the tables for each groups being in pretty close proximity. The person who was assigned to our group did her best to manage our large party but she was handling everything (food, drinks, taking any additional orders) on her own. Overall a really good experience andddd I really appreciated how clean the space was including the bathrooms!

I usually have a good time going to Main Event and we enjoyed their $40 for $20 game card special…read moreas well as the Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays this time. However, this location really missed the mark all around. The bowling and games in particular are not well-maintained. - Food: We ordered the cheese stuffed crust pizza but they later told us the kitchen had run out (even though it was 6:30pm at the beginning of the week). The seasonal fruit that came with the kids meal was a very meager portion of 2 tiny watermelon pieces. - Bowling: They initially gave us Lane 5 but the right bumper was stuck in the up position. The worst part was that they admitted they knew that it was broken. On top of that, just a short while later, they gave the same lane to a new group!! I couldn't believe it. They reassigned us to Lane 6, which also had a broken bumper (half of the left bumper was gone). - Games: many of the games were broken and we wasted game points on them. The VR headset kept getting loose when we tried to put it in the tightest position. The basketball game to the very right didn't register points. The soccer game was not working at all. The bouncing tile game was missing tiles. One of the large basketball games got the balls stuck in the net. Overall, I would not recommend this location and would try to avoid it if I could.

Of the 5 visits this summer, 4 of them have required calling for support on the bumpers, most often resulting in having to change lanes, even after mentioning as we were booking a lane that we need one that has working bumpers. I get this - it's an older facility, and I've watched grown men hurl bowling balls at the bumpers for kicks and giggles, but the basic attitude of the workers here has been difficult. The actual techs try to keep things working, and when one is actually on staff while we are there they get things going pretty quickly. If one is not on staff, though, the majority of workers report they just started, and based on how often I see new faces there I don't think that's an excuse. For whatever reasons, this location struggles to retain staff. I get it: it's a bowling alley, but apparently whoever runs this bowling alley is not hiring and/or training adequately. We typically make an evening out of our visits with food and often games as well, which is why I'm a little surprised that no real effort is made to retain us as patrons. At this point, I might as well just drive to the closer Cherokee Lanes and save a few cents on gas for the same lack of quality. ______________ In the wee hours of the morning after I posted this review, a third-party, off-shore account "replied" to my review, leaving a broken link to something called momo. The name and picture match someone listed for Stars and Strikes on LinkedIn but had the boilerplate language of a copy and paste. This is consistent with what we have experienced in Woodstock - a company that is not investing in hiring and training locally or handling complaints with honesty and accuracy.

I can't believe it has taken me this long to come to this place. This review is only for the movie…read moretheater. First off, there are no assigned seats so if you buy your tickets ahead of time online, you are just getting a general admission ticket and paying a fee. I waited until we arrived to buy them from the guy behind the concession stand to save on the fees. We still got great seats as we weren't even there that early for our 4pm showtime. The seats recline and are nice, including the option for heat. The concessions are very affordable and aren't as much of a mark up as other theaters. The popcorn comes with free refills! The staff was super friendly and the lobby has a few arcade games. We'll be back!

I arrived around noon on a Saturday and my ticket was only $9 (including tax). However, the inside of the theater needed more maintenance. The seats had stains and the floor had a bunch of food all over it. I'd come back if I were in the area but I hope they give the theaters more TLC.
