My roommate and I just moved to Dayton here recently and today was our first time out since moving here. We stopped at another local bar but decided to leave because it wasn’t our vibe. From the moment we stepped in “hole in the wall” we felt nothing but positivity. The bartender was great (Kelly I think??) and so was the other staff!!! Overall 10/10 experience. Great music and even better drinks. We definitely have found our new go to spot!

Looking for a fun spot to play some amazing free games, listen to some good music, have some nice patio time, and some great drinks? Look no further.This is one of my go to spots on a Saturday afternoon with nothing to do. It is pretty quiet with not a lot of folks in the shop so you have free reign over the games. They also usually have a movie playin as well. I love the Gamer theme to the bar and the Mario world 1-1 on the bar top.For fro-fro frilly drinks try the Pink Dragon. I love me some Pink Dragons. Also ask about the Queen of Hearts.

I always love going out and to this bar in particular.. the drinks are well prepared, the bartenders are knowledgeable enough in their mixology, the prices are a bit high but its all about location location location.... try their drink Washington Apple it was impressive... CHEERS!!!

Qualifying this review to note the night we went there was a DJ in this tiny space. Small space, not many serious games, emphasis does not seem to be on games at all. We in-and-outted without playing as the crowd was sort of hanging out trying to dance in the back of the place. Might be fun but was not for anyone there for the games.

I was pleasantly surprised by this bar. Nice selection of arcade and console games. I loved that they had the Jackbox party pack game open for everyone to play. Beer selection was okay, but the games more than make up for it.

Amazing bar for nostalgic gamers. They have consoles with 2 player games. Wall to wall arcade games, friendly staff (easy on the eyes too). Drinks are reasonably priced and with a good selection. The crowd is super trendy. You WILL have fun.

Fun arcade bar in oregon district. All the arcade games are free to play without any coins required. They also have some game systems (i think N64 and NES emulator?) in the front of the bar so you can play some smash brothers or mario kart. Drinks are pretty standard, nothing fancy, cheap. Bar is pretty packed on weekends and a nice chill place to hang out on weeknights.

Great spot. Size and vibe reminds me of NYC bars. Lively with music, games, and diverse crowd. Small outdoor space for smokers or to cool off. Ill definitely be back to rage latenight next time Im in Dayton.

Real chill, you get a hodgepodge of folks coming in. Wednesdays are Quiplash nights, pretty much video game version of Cards Against Humanity. Music varies and DJs are open to suggestions. Drink specials vary month to month, and the bartenders are super friendly.

Solid bar to go to in the Oregon District. Free arcade games to play, typical bar prices (not bad) and great location. I enjoy starting the night at Toxic next door, come to Hole in the Wall, then go to Century Bar. Overall a pretty standard bar, arcade games give it a boost.

Back area past the bar had an overbearing urine smell impossible to ignore. Their pull and focus on arcade machines was lost when we found out most of them were broken. Other than that, friendly bartender, service was quick.

Weird place. A lot of arcade games and local beets which is nice, but its absurdly small and has a ten dollar minimum. Not a very enjoyable experience, but I feel like it couldve been

Used to be great but not really crowded mostly. No cover so thats nice. Not totally horrible like neds or newcomers. Video games are fun but takes forever to get a drink and crowded and no food and staffs subpar

A great barcade in the area. The drinks are fairly priced. It can get packed for a small place. Theres also a good selection of arcade games in the back and if youre not into that theres games outside like janga.

Review №36

A good selection of beers, but not many on tap. Cheap drinks, nerdy video game decor, and arcade games lining the walls. It gets pretty packed on weekends, so be prepared to possibly queue outside if they are at capacity or to have to fight your way through the crowd if you manage to get in.

Bit inconsistent at sizing drinks. Ive been here 3 times and have had different sizes of the same drink each time for the same price.Decent selection of arcade but need more for a Barcade, decent music but it can get packed quickly on weekend nights.

Decent place. 1/3 of machines seemed to be broken or not working but the staff was really cool.

You can quickly get a drink when you run into your ex girlfriends, even in a crowded night, and go to the patio and watch somebody else run into their ex girlfriend... and talk about it over a talk old style. Its not the bars fault, but its the bar that helps you confront your demons. Your whorish evil demons. Free arcade games too!

Its definitely a hole in the wall but the the atmosphere is everything youre looking for. Throwback music on constant rotation, neon lights, games to play all night long, and cheap specials.
