I've visited this arcade 4 times over the last year or so. Great arcade, the biggest in Southern Illinois from what I hear with nearly 100 different unique arcade/pinball machines.
The second time I visited there were 4 or 5 machines that were out of order, but I cant hold this against them because some of these games are over 50 years old and it appears they have a relatively small staff. Normally 95% of the games are operational in my experience.
The Speakeasy arcade has a great, fun atmosphere which might remind some of us of simpler times.
I think its like $15, maybe $20 to enter and all the games are free to play.
They have lots of classics like Pacman and Asteroids, a number of racing games and a great selection of pinball games. I didnt see any fighting games but they do have a pool table as well. read more
