It was a really great night. Myself and my roommate traveled from the Dells on her birthday. We were captivated by the pinball machines. The only reason I would not give five stars is that I told the bartender that the soap and paper towel dispenser were both empty. She thanked us for telling her and did nothing about it. Im glad I didnt do more than pee.
A fun, hip bar with pinball machines and vintage arcade games. The owners and staff are all extremely friendly.
Very friendly service. Tons of fun arcade games and pinball machines, both retro and new. Great prices, too!
This. Place. Is. Dope!! When you walk in you think youre in a solid arcade, and then theres more!!! The place is deep and theres more arcade games in the back with an extra bar. Great games. Classic and new. Wish i was closer to frequent more often. Dope movie posters and comics cover the walls. Tournaments and more..
A bit limited with games but overall a fun place.
Neat place to try once. Music was loud, not great for a group of people. Unique idea, glad we checked it out.
Fun environment! Something different to do instead of just sitting on a bar stool.
Super fun environment! I will be back!
This a little hidden gem downtown Appleton lots of arcade games and awesome video game based drinks, so much fun!!
A very unique place. The plethora of games is amazing as there are a variety of titles. This establishment fulfills the unique niche of fun and entertainment. Wonderful service exhibited by staff members. Will come again.
Had fun playing my childhood games with my friends while drinking and meeting new people:-)
Have only been to this bar twice, and both times I had a great experience! Wonderful staff and people make the place a friendly environment. This place is officially my favorite place to visit downtown. I now am going to visit here often. I couldnt be any happier knowing we have a fantastic arcade in the area.
Last night was my 21st birthday. The bartender was super nice and helped me find drinks I would like. They gave me tips about the different types of drinks out there, and ways to handle my hangover this morning. They made my birthday fun and safe. All of my friends, and boyfriend, who went agree.
Bartenders are super chill and so many fun games to play. Princess Leia is bomb af
This place is awesome! The staff is friendly, the games are great, and overall it was a good time. They definitely have a good selection of pinball machines and a ton of great nostalgic arcade games.
An amazing place with amazing bartenders. I cant wait to go back. First time there and we brought our buddy from out of state. He loves it. It was so much fun we where there three times that day!
Its a fun place to hang out. The drinks are kind of expensive. The second controller for guitar hero was broken.
Fun bar with friendly service and an outstanding variety of arcade games.
This place is so awesome. Always have fun when I go. Love the pinball.U should consider trying to open one up in Green Bay
Great atmosphere and friendly staff!! The games are a delightful blast from the past.
Love the atmosphere, love the bartenders, love the pinball, love the arcade games, love the drinks, dont love the limited seating. Best arcade bar in the valley by far!
This is easily one of the best bars Ive been to in a long time. The concept is phenomenal, and if you have a bit of a nerdy side its even better. Would recommend.
This is totally worth a stop!!! This place has everything an old school game could want. All the retro games are offered at a nostalgic price and the consoles are a in good condition. The bar is full service and provides a good variety of libations. The pinball games cost two coins, but all are in very good working condition and worth the extra currency. Being an adult venue makes it feel like you can be your unique, nerdy self. Having change on hand makes the parking situation easier and, if you follow the website recommendation for the YMCA parking, have it ready! There is other parking available that accepts debit/credit cards on the back streets though.
Very laid back atmosphere. Always nice to sip a drink and play some games and forget about the real world and having conversation! Just go with your friends or s/o, sip a drink and take it easyPretty good amount of room. About 9 pinball machines and maybe 30 arcade games. Enough games with enough room without feeling cramped.
Fun place for adults to play on a rainy Sunday.
Always a great time! Love all the pinball oh and of course SPACE INVADERS! Also fun staff and great drink options.
This place is awesome. Ive usually been disappointed by arcades in the last couple decades but this place is the real deal. They have an all ages morning on the first Saturday of each month. Take your kids to see what real games are like!
Love this place! Manitowoc needs a pinball pub just like this...until then Ill just have to make the occasional trip to get my pinball fix! Great, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders with good drink menu and great selection of local cold brews. Classic video games too. Machines seem clean and well maintained and different ones are switched out periodically. The newest and best pinball versions to try out. Cant wait to get back. They had a 2 for 1 token special when i visited...just wish i didnt have to bother the bartender for tokens. Maybe a token machine some day? Just a thought.. friendly people..cool place.
Awesome place! Pinball and a good amount of classic arcade games! It would be nice to have a time on the weekends to bring the kiddos to play
Arcade and much more for kids by day. PARTY spot for adults who love games by night! Very Good idea. I just wonder if they named it after that movie ready player one.
Fantastic staff, awesome game selection, killer pinball lineup, plentiful domestic and craft selection along with full bar. I have seen plenty of barcades, this one does it right!
I love it here. The staff is friendly and the owners are smart. The selection of games consist of arcade classics & pin ball. It’s a lot of fun! The selection of games is very good. Also, the first Saturday of every month you can bring your kids (it’s a kid friendly zone during that time). I am really glad Player 2 is in Appleton! I’d give it more stars if I could. Can’t say enough positive about this place!
Games are well taken care of. Lots of old classics and mix of more recent games with a Switch and N64 for good measure. Price per game is very reasonable, $10 will get you far. Prices of drinks seemed reasonable.
Love love love. Game selection is spot on, something for literally everyone. The decor is insane and will knock you back a few decades. Fun theme signature drinks and shots. Pinball pinball pinball! We were there from 9p-12am on a Saturday night, there was such a fun vibe, and so many different age groups and personalities. It didnt feel like the normal Ave. crowed. And might sound weird, but the bathrooms were really nice for being a bar...on the ave... Seriously. Lastly, the staff was all amazing, sweet, helpful, a lot of fun. This will be a weekly visit for us.
Best bar in Appleton. Tons of classic gamed, new pinball machines, great drink selection. Great atmosphere takes you back to your youth.
Great place to relax and unwind. Great deals!!! Nick is a great bartender!!!! Real friendly!!!!
I like the selection of pinball and cabinets. Houdini! XFlare Arcadia out!
Really fun bat, get tokens for the arcade machines at the bar, and the specialty drinks are SO yummy. My favorite was the Princess Peach (OJ, peach schnapps, mango rum, and grenadine)
The experience is all around a fantastic one. The people, games, and bar tenders are great! I like going here for the camaraderie from the bar tenders, fun times meeting others, and the old school Mario bros. Games. :D
This was one of the most fun places I have been to in this area. Drinks were a good price, tokens were cheap for games, and the staff was excellent. I usually only have one drink but I had enjoyed my time so much I had way more than that. Keep on doing what youre doing Player 2! You guys are awesome!
This was an awesome experience. When you walked in you felt comfortable right away. There are many bars around Appleton that you do not feel that way when you walk in. No one judged you as you walked in. There was a vast selection of games. It was our first time there and we spent about two hours there and could have stayed longer if our internal bed time clocks didnt click in. I definitely recommend this Arcade Bar.
Great bar when it’s not packed. Which is like always. So that speaks to its success in the area. I love the drink options the gaming aspect and the bartenders are all very pleasant and prompt! Again I just prefer to be there when it’s a little less chaotic.
Lots of old arcade and pinball games! There was even a spot with a Switch and people were playing Mario Kart. Had a really good time here, looking forward to going again!
Honestly the coolest place ever. A nerds paradise.
Always a good time, they have a great selection of games and a good atmosphere. It is usually pretty crowded and sometimes difficult to maneuver because of all the machines. There are definitely game hogs from time to time so it takes a while to get to your favorite game but that isnt on the place. Definitely go when the coins for 2 for 1.
Saturday morning with the kids was fun! If you like it quiet go right at 9 because it gets busy fast!
Honestly, arcade bars are amazing. For those of us who dont need journey playing 24/7 to have fun this is the place to be. Get down with some awesome arcade games and just have fun. Go alone or with a group. Good beer, mixed drinks but plan on it being busy during the weekend. Oh and save your tokens!!!
Very attentive bar tender. Friendly clientele. Nice atmosphere even though Im not a gamer.
This place is very fun.
Great place. Cheap games. Beer and good music! Love it.
I love it! All of the games that i played actually worked. The selection of canned cider was so good. Not one machine ate my money and the selection of old school games was great. I could actually hear the Rock Band game enough to rock out. Ok, Im rambling now. Too much drinking amd too much fun!
Machines occasionally eat tokens and some of the controls are in serious need of repair or replacement. But most of them work as intended, and there is a good selection of classics and more recent games as well as a ton of pinball machines. All around a good place to spend your Saturday night.
Very affordable, staff is friendly, very fun place at any time.
Epic nostalgia blast in the face. I saw games in there that instantly brought me bach to my childhood. I was never good at them, but damn, I loved playing them. Front part of the bar seemed less crowded even though thats where the main bar is. Back part of bar where most of the games were was 5he most crowded with a small bar. Loved the walkway with the comic book covers. Great place. Cant wait to go back.
Love this place. 1st Saturday of the month is family friendly (other times is only 21+). The owner and workers are so nice, well maintained machines and so.much fun!
Super fun! We came for the Saturday morning family time and it was a blast! Kids were kept busy and we got to play tons of games for a reasonable price.
This a great place lots of old arcade games from the 80s and 90s its is a blast to go with friends or just by your self
Love it come here almost every wensday for double coin night
Awesome place! Definitely will return & recommend
Bartender was very friendly and helpful. Drinks where not over the top expensive.
Went on a Sunday, only five of us in there and they stayed open til 2am. Friendly staff. A nice place to hang out with friends or a first date!
Went here for my buddys bachelor party. I enjoyed playing the old arcade games that we grew up with.dear owner saw your reply but have no way to contact you.
Great games, great atmosphere. The owners do an amazing job of keeping up with maintenance ok n their machines. So happy to have a place like this in the fox valley area. Their Wednesday and Sunday specials are amazing. PLUS! They play old school movies that will make you feel young again!
The bartender was very accommodating.Fun place.
It really cool. Me think I have fun there. You and friend should go and play. Enjoy
This place is super fun. It looks like they have drink specials every day and also alot of games as well. The tokens are decently priced too. I will be coming back often now and the pinball machines stole the show. (Besides guitar hero).
Neat little find. Good drinks and great classics to play. Love the atmosphere
No better way to re-live the nostalgia of my childhood than by drinking Coors Lights and playing by myself at an arcade. Some things will never change.
Great staff, great deals. Fun place to go to with friends. Decent selection of classic games. I would personally like to see a better beer selection but thats probably not what theyre going for. Sometimes games go down but theyre probably older than some of the clientele so thats understandable and staff is generous with reimbursement when you report a broken machine.
Bartender was very friendly. Great atmosphere. 2 for 1 tokens on Wednesdays was awesome. Was my first time coming. Amazing selection of games. Was a blast for all of us to play. House Cocktails were great. Definitely recommend the Blue Bomber. You will not be disappointed with this place!
Player 2 has some of the most kind, cating and helpful staff i have ever met! The drinks they have are amazing and they have an amazing variety of arcade games and pinball games to play! I really reccomend this place!
I love arcade games. Theres a good selection of classic arcade games, pinball, and even a big screen with a Nintendo 64 set up with a decent selection of games to play. They have good drink specials almost every day. Great beer selection too, both on tap and bottled. My wife and I could stand there and play pinball for hours. I always seem to come away with tokens that keep me going back
Games are awesome, cocktails are tasty.
Met the fine owners(husband and wife) at Midwest Gaming Classic. Great people and have a cool business! Excited for their new additions they are talking about adding to the arcade floor!
Pretty good, enjoyed the arcade games. personally would like to add more pinball machines as i did not care for the wait time. the staff were wonderful and the specialty drinks were fun and worked well with the theme. it can get a bit crowded and you will be able to smell that walking in but overall, it was a pretty fun and enjoyable time. would definitely come again.
Its cool once. Not really worth the hype. Heavy metal music plays loud constantly. To get to the back room you have to walk by the bathrooms that smell awful. No where to really sit except at the bar. Can easily play all the games youd want to play for $5 and leave. Not somewhere to hang out all night.
Great place, wish the prices were more reasonable on the games...the bartender made us a chocolate shot that was out of this world!
Great prices, great selection of arcade games
This is the best barcade in the area and the specials really make it worth it to go. They already have tons of pinball machines but there is part of me that hopes one day they have a whole room lined with them.
Lots of fun, great place to stop if your in the area
I was visiting a friend and she decided we spend the evening here. I love frequenting arcade bars but theres something special about this one. I appreciated the 80s films playing on the tvs and the film posters on the walls were great. There was a decent selection of beers and I was happy that they offered full pizzas (just the frozen kind, but that played to the theme of the bar in my opinion). There is a decent selection of games and people were happy to play with anyone and take turns at the more popular games. I would probably hang out at this bar often if I lived in the area.
The game selection pretty good but a little maintenance could go a long way. A majority of the fighting games are unplayable due to the condition of the sticks, and plenty of other games need some cap kits thrown at the monitors. Overall I like the place because of the environment, game selection, and prices but the lack of upkeep is really disappointing.
Awesome Bar! Great games! Awesome draft taps! Affordable drinks. Great atmosphere! Friendly Staff! The only problem is they are within walking distance of my house- I will be there far too much!
Always phenomenal time! Good bartenders, always attentive. Nice drinks available, the games never cease to amaze and entertain. Not my first visit and certainly not my last!!
Was there this morning with my kids awesome that you guys do that they loved it already talking about when are we going there again!! The cereal idea was great made me feel like I was a kid love it and thanks for letting the kids enjoy!!
Love this bar. The games are fun. Pinball is super fun and now they have 8 different pinball games. The beer is good and atmosphere is relaxed.
Such a blast! My wife and I love going here. The prices are very reasonable and they have a great variety of games! Not to mention Mario kart 64 and Golden eye tournaments. Cant recommend it enough
I liked the idea of this bar but it was pretty crowded! The machines take up a lot of room and once this place fills up its pretty cramped. This building is too skinny for what its being used for. The bartender was attentive and there were plenty of games to play, and at only 25 cents a play we were here for over an hour and only spent $5!
