Stopped by Aftershock on a recent trip to Madison and had a great time…read more Full disclosure: I want 4 things from a classic barcade: + Pinball + Pacman + Frogger + Solid drinks Aftershock delivered! They're listed in the Wisconsin Old Fashioned passport, so we were able to get bogo old fashioned cocktails. We opted for bourbon and were pleased when she offered us any bourbon they stock (as we had expected with the deal, to only be offered rail). They're a barcade so it's not like they have an expansive bourbon list but we were pleased to be able to get Woodford. Our cocktails were beautifully made in the Wisconsin style (except with bourbon not brandy). They were everything a Wisconsin old fashioned ought to be and more. We played some pinball, pacman, and frogger and had a blast. If I were to make one tiny suggestion, it would be to have more strategically placed tables--we were constantly trying to find somewhere to put our drinks while playing. They do have some tables to sit at (as well as the bar itself) and after we were done with video games we enjoyed a couple games of cribbage while finishing up our cocktails. Get to it!

Overall, it was a fun and stress free outing for the whole family and a great option when you are looking for activities everyone can enjoy.

Worst burger ever! I ordered the Dave Double Cheeseburger. According to the menu description and…read morephoto it's two smashed burger patties with two pieces of cheese. What I received was a thick, fatty nasty single patty that wasn't smashed. It was low quality meat. I've had frozen bubba burgers from the grocery store that tasted better than this. I ate less than half of it. The only reason I didn't leave a 1-star score is because our waitress was great and was working hard.

Our waitress was kind and attentive, the drinks we ordered were delicious, and our food was equally as good. The one big con is it is very loud inside, but honestly that is to be expected. I didn't love the level of sound, but I knew it was normal for a Dave & Busters so I chose to power thru. My husband and I also decided to play some games, which was a fun time as well. We hadn't been to a Dave's & Busters in like 7 years, so even though it is overall "overpriced" it was a special treat to go so we just went for it anyway. We enjoyed our time here, but probably won't come back for a while. See y'all in 7 years lol.

It's rare these days to see such variety in one spot, and their prices for both drinks and rentals are completely reasonable. My friends and I hung out for hours and got great service from the staff and had an overall fantastic time. This is the hidden gem that needs to be less hidden, highly recommend a visit. They have Magic the Gathering casual commander games on Thursdays, a discord, VR simulators, and excellent long hours. Finca and JDs are next door too for some delicious food to sustain the long sessions in addition to snacks onsite. Grab a few friends and definitely check them out! 10/10

It's a fairly large building with multiple spaces including the bar area, a table area and multiple game areas. They've got the classic arcade games I love like Ms. Pacman, Burger Time, and Dig Dug as well as a bunch of pinball machines and even skeet ball. The video games are only a quarter. Drinks are very reasonable and there are many beers and cocktails to choose from. This is a fun place to kick back and relax with friends and play some of your old favorites.

The equipment was well-maintained and very fun to play. However, the experience went downhill at the claw machines. They felt like a total scam! The claw had almost zero grip on the plushies. We watched several prizes slip through the prongs every single time. It was very frustrating for the kids. To make matters worse, the ticket prices were way too high. We burned through our credits much faster than expected. It is hard to enjoy the day when you feel overcharged. I hope the management looks into better pricing soon!
