We've come a long way from the era where Dave and Buster's was an exotic experience. These days,…read morethe barcade is a staple of cities and college towns, and this trend saved the American arcade from what seemed like certain death. They're usually dependable for a fun, lighthearted night out, but man oh man did Evansville get especially lucky with theirs. You'd be hard-pressed to find an establishment that takes better care of its pinball machines than High Score Saloon. They look sharp, play beautifully and run the gamut from blue-chip favorites like The Addams Family to quirkier machines like The X-Files. Beyond pinball, you'll spot barcade classics like Donkey Kong and Joust as well as some pleasant surprises, like a TV with Duck Hunt behind the bar. (Can't get too up-close and cheat, now!) High Score Saloon is on the compact side and could be overlooked by passersby due to its lower-level location. They get a lot of mileage out of this space, though. The decor is great and I really dig how their atmosphere is nocturnal and comfortable in equal measure. Some additional taps would be nice, but as it stands, they do a solid job selecting eclectic beers from Evansville and beyond. If you're lucky, there will even be a piece of chalk waiting for you in the bathroom so that you can write on the chalkboard walls. ("R.I.P. SIR BEEF" is a personal go-to for this.) If I still lived in Evansville, this would be my primary bar. As it stands, it's one of my most anticipated stops whenever I'm in town. Press the START button on this joint - you won't regret it.

What a fun place! They have vintage comic books, tons of nostalgic toys (mostly from the 80s), and…read moreother nerdy goodies, but the real draw (for me anyway) is the arcade. It's a largish room filled with old-school arcade consoles. For just five bucks you can play unlimited for an hour. There's also a row of flatscreen TVs set up with old school video game systems like Nintendo, Super Nintendo, etc. and a large collection of games you can play. I don't remember the rates, but it's a similar deal - pay a low flat rate and play unlimited for a certain amount of time. Not sure what they're planning on using it for, but there's also a cool sitting area in the back with a giant TV. Movie screenings perhaps? It sounds like they have some fun events planned, at any rate. Basically this place is like a grown-up version of playing at your coolest friend's house who had all the best games and toys. I had to really, really talk myself out of the talking Pee-wee Herman doll.

Always a fun time. They keep games on rotation and they always work. Fun place to shop for comics…read moretoo.

I have to say, when it comes to getting out with family & kiddos, this place is just about perfect…read more First, you must pay admission to the buffet to get in, which could be inconvenient if you just want to enjoy the games, however I could see how it could get complicated to control who entered for which. That being said, I loved the buffet & had no objections to dining here. Maybe it's just the fatty in me but, I found the buffet to be quite good, especially for the price. They have different buffet prices based on age ranges of young and older children, adults, & seniors. Children 3 & under eat free so that's a big plus! I believe it is somewhere around $10 & some change for adults buffet & a drink. They have a huge salad bar &, being a huge lover of salads, I would totally come here just for that! Along with their salad bar, they also have quite a few different pizzas on the buffet, a baked potato bar, nacho bar, pasta bar, & a dessert bar along with many different soda & drink options as well as slushies. They also have quite a few different dining rooms you can choose to eat your meal in, one being a theater room for kids playing cartoons, another is a sports themed room playing sports, & event rooms for parties. The game area is nice with many different games and I liked how you load money onto a card that you slide at the machines to start the game. Any tickets you win are loaded onto the cards & can later be redeemed in their pretty large prize room, but keep in mind, any of the big prizes cost a ridiculous amount of tickets & would probably cost a fortune to win enough tickets to achieve. The games cost anywhere from 25 cents to $6 depending on what you are wanting to do. They also have bumper cars which are $2.50 & even my 23-year old boyfriend seemed to have fun on them bumping into his 5-year old son. My only complaints have to do with the game area. They have a Frog Hopper ride for the kids in the game area and when we asked the only attendant in the game area if our son could ride it he exclaimed that he was manning the bumper cars and someone else was assigned to that ride. However, we never saw another person. We assumed they might've been on a break but after spending a little over an hour in this area, we never saw anyone else attending to anything in the game area so our kids never did get to ride it. They also had a bungee trampoline, again no one was ever attending it. The lazer tag, closed for renovations. So the biggest attractions, & the bigger reasons we chose to come here from out of town, were not even accessible. My kiddos were very upset, to say the least. But they did enjoy the few games they could play. The prizes were definitely not worth the amount we spent to play the games but the fun had was more than worth the cost of this trip. We will definitely be back. We were here celebrating our 2-year old's birthday & although there was not a lot of things geared towards his age we could tell he enjoyed it & felt like he was doing things. Our 5-year old said he loved this place and wanted to come back for his birthday in a few months so we may be back sooner rather than later! It's not an incredibly huge place but if you're looking for somewhere to enjoy with kids, or if you're just a big kid at heart & love arcade games, this is definitely the place to go! Or, if you just love buffets at a great price, you can't beat it!

Showplace Newburgh has seen some changes over the years--and I think you could say for the better…read moreoverall. I hadn't been here in a number of years, but grew up coming here since it was the closest movie theater to home. The new renovation is a great addition for families with older kids, but as a newcomer the layout is a little confusing -- we didn't tour the new FEC that was added on, just wanted to go see a movie. You buy your movie tickets in the main lobby and only give it to the ticket taker when you go into the cinema area -- the concession stand is now outside that area entirely, and although there's another stand beyond the rope I can't help but wonder if this allows for in-and-out privileges if you want a refill or another snack since that stand was closed on our visit. I would hope so, but it wasn't really clear how the "new" way works for someone used to the old layout. (Maybe that's just me.) The theater itself could use a little updating though honestly, the seats are a little uncomfortable and the armrests aren't moveable so if you're gifted in the hips they're kind of a tight squeeze. As for those complaining about the price -- welcome to the movie business, friends. It's not like Showplace is robbing you any more than AMC or Regal or any other theater chain. If you want cheap, second run movies then go to Showplace South -- but if you're looking for first run, you're going to pay for it.
