Spent three hours in the arcade and had a great time. Went soon after opening on a holiday. There…read morewere a good number of games (30+?), and reasonable variety (e.g, pacman, zaxxon, 1943, golden ax, street fighter, simpsons, nba jam, some fighting games, a couple of racing games). The space was clean and not too loud, and though a handful of other customers showed up it didn't get crowded. Free play really reduces the frustration that many older games can cause, since I could just keep continuing. I don't know that I would want to return too soon because I beat most of the games I wanted to play, but I do look forward to returning sometime in the future.

I might just have to do a national barcade tour. We were here on Sunday afternoon, so there were…read morepeople everywhere, but I still had a blast. This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

Cidercade is a good option for a big group activity that's (thankfully!) indoors, away from the…read moreHouston heat. I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

Honestly, for a Dave and busters, I was so impressed that they had pasta and I was honestly also…read moresurprised at how good it was. It wasn't the traditional Alfredo with the cream but it wasn't bad! For a place in Texas that isn't known for pasta, I actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it was on par with any real Italian place, but I wouldn't sell it short. We sat by the bar, and there was around 50 people worth of seating by the bar and seats. They have a bunch of screens to watch every game you could think of. Football, soccer and UFC were all being shown. Otherwise, they have the games in the back, and I'm sure you can enjoy for a fun day or a date night. I don't usually go to Dave and busters for food, so I didn't know what they had on their menu. Otherwise, they had very drink you could think of.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.
