First, Richmond loves to day drink. Second, there are TONS of service industry people, students, nurses etc that don't work your standard 9-5 who don't get a chance to come with your current hours. (People who are likely to promote your business to others) Third, it's so congested I want to leave within the hour making it unlikely for me to spend a lot of money or buy food... and fourth, I just want to enjoy it more which is hard when it's as packed as a night club. I'm just trying to play a game without elbowing someone or feeling hot air on my neck. I'd rather wait in a line to get in than wait the entire time I'm inside.
they were open since then I've found less pinball machines in proper working order. Every visit the continue to progress worse. I get the fact
Basically, I'm really glad this bar finally exists in my city.
With that said, the products are nothing without great service and pricing to stay competitive. The, Circuit - Arcade Bar, doesn't fall short on all of this neither. The pricing is good for everything (please don't raise it!) and customer service is stupendous. Employees there are very kind and never hesitated to help me. Great job team and don't stop what you're doing!
they've made & hire someone to keep up on they're maintenance
I've been to retro gaming bars before, and this is the best one by far. Disclaimer: my review may share unintentional similarities with other reviews, but only because it's true and would be a crime to not mention!
Everything you can imagine from the concept - one part great beers on a wall of pay-by-the ounce card-accessed taps, and one part every arcade machine from my thirty-six years of growing up in malls and bowling alleys! I literally can't name a game I'd want that they don't have, and while some of the games are just as expensive as ever, most are a quarter or two (Street Fighter is one token, it was never that cheap when it came out!) Another home run in Scott's Addition - don't miss!
I loved this place when I first visited. My first visit was the second day
Also, hopefully you guys can fix the bathroom stalls before they fall down and hurt someone. It's an hour and a Lowes trip, the stalls shouldn't wave like that!
In conclusion, excellent place for a variety of reasons and plenty of reasons to pay them a visit. My only advice: keep adding games and don't lower your great level of service!
Can't wait for it to slow down or you to extend your hours!
this place is very busy but when the shut down on Monday why not have machines serviced? The employees are very attentive & work hard to make patrons happy so I will give up 2 stars which I feel is generous considering beer is never cold enough & pinball machines are in need of servicing. Hopefully management will take some of the enormous profits
So, how is this place exactly? Well, the place is comfortable. Like a older cozy house, that just happens to house a big selection of alcoholic drinks (largely beer) for the ficklest of tongues, and many great retro games for the most nostalgic of gamers. There is food too, but I got carried away with playing that I forgot to eat.
Great spot and something totally different for the area! I don't think business will slow down either and with that being said I wish the hours were earlier/longer or that another store opens elsewhere.
This is the bar I always wanted to be here in Richmond. A very high quality arcade, and even though the place was absolutely packed on a Friday night, I never had to wait long to play one of my favorite games. Tokens seem to be really reasonably priced, and I didn't mind the line to get them when I didn't have to wait in another line for the rest of the night. Drinks are very reasonably priced, and the self-service system works great. Haven't tried the food yet.
