Great place for a rain day with the family. Game prices are reasonable and no tickets for junk. This place is better than a bar because the games give you entertainment.

You can tell they are new and still figuring everything out, so go with an open mind. If you are looking for a place to play some classic games at inexpensive prices, get a cheap beer, maybe watch a bit of the ncaa finals, this is is your place. Bartender made her own drink for me and was quite tasty. I was also very happy with the variety of games. They have: pool tables, dart boards, skeetball, and all sorts of classic arcade games, as well as a few casino type machines. Only thing they were missing was a basketball hoop game. But maybe that will be the next addition. Biggest tip: if bringing your kids go earlier in the day, and go with an open mind no matter what.

Great place to be at. The owner is extremely friendly and nice. And their willing to make any kind of drink. Yall should totally come try the Irish trash can. Its really good. I asked if they could make it. This is my favorite place so far to be at and I dont go out at all.

We had our 8 year old Sons birthday party at Pixels. I wanted to make sure that I wrote out a stellar review since the party and the accommodations were amazing. The owner met us right away as we arrived. Helped us with tables and chairs and the layout of the party. He was always there asking if everything was good and if we needed anything. We had over 20 children in attendance, and they all had a blast. Zero complaints from anyone:) Would recommend Pixels to anyone who asks!

Staff is friendly, drinks are fairly priced and the food selection is a good mix of finger foods. Games are cheap and theres almost always a pool table or dart board open. Love coming here

Went in early for my daughters birthday. Great service even though she was by herself. Games brought back a sense of nostalgia for the older people in the party. Only reason not a 5 star was some menu items not available.

This place is so perfect for adults to go have fun and have some drinks. My husband and I came here and spent 10 dollars playing games and had a great time for 2 hours! This is exactly what Oshkosh needs! Definitely will be regulars here! I highly suggest coming here and giving this place a try! Best arcade ever and ADULT ONLY adults deserve to have fun too!!

Rob is a fantastic business owner. Pixels holds live tournaments and other fun events. They also serve food and drinks. You have to check it out!

Was super fun. Wasn’t like fun set or places like that no ticket games the way it should remain. Less of a kids place and more of a teen and adult place games are rightly priced spent 10 dollars there for a hour and a half of fun with my wife! Exactly what Oshkosh needed! Hopefully more arcade games to come.

If you like old school arcade games its awesome... Visited several times the first was probably the best, the 3rd there was tournaments going on with darts and pool so it kinda detracted the over all theme we were shooting for Arcade Fun and Good times However; its got the best of both Arcade and bar games so its a blast! Id like to see some old gaming posters or some more old school gaming throwback decor, but thats just me. This place is still a win win.

Really enjoyed it. Some of the machines were having issues and it seems like theyre still trying to work out some kinks. Good location to watch sports and hang out, and if you have kids they can play games at the same time.

Brought my kids here on a Saturday afternoon. Most of the games were blocked by men and their belongings who were playing pool. Fryer was down so no food available. Atmosphere is a bar atmosphere. Not family friendly at all. Very disappointed.

Could do with a bit more organization, and it doesnt quite have its own identity yet. Charming bartenders (a Friday night), but they also held a conversation well. I see it flourishing if it doesnt implode

Rob is a great person and very sociable owner and the games bring back memories. For those who havent came to see it stop on in and have some family fun

Great place for families during the day. Fun for adults who miss the old pinball and video games. Very clean. Good bar food as well.

Review №21

Dig it. Good selection. Two of the three pinballs get hung up frequently. Acceptable because the family Guy machine has serious miles on it. bright and clean. Maybe dark later at night? Please turn up the sound on crazy taxi and fix the hanging brake pedal, its my favorite game!

Great place! Can actually play games for 25 cents. There are multiple quarter games as well. Had a blast for $20

I am 36 years old, and I have been in Oshkosh for almost 8 years. Out of all the businesses I have been to, this one has been the least professional. The owner is constantly running out of alcohol and food. I actually heard the owner judge women off their weight and looks. This is so wrong as a business, and I will not support it whatsoever.

This is a pretty cool place. Its closer to 3.5 stars than 3. They just opened so they are still working everything out it feels like. They have a handful of newer games along with classic, vintage arcade machines. They have 3 pinballs machines that are 50 cents to a dollar to play. They use quarters here instead of tokens so you wont find any 2 for 1 specials. The staff is pretty great and walks around if you need anything. I was asked if I wanted anything to drink after being inside about 2 minutes so that was pretty cool. Ill check it out again in a few weeks to see if they got things running smoother. If you need a place in Oshkosh to burn some quarters and want to play some classic games along with newer games and drink beer while doing it. Make it this place.

Place was a bit jank kids running around after the cut off. It was pretty bright for an arcade, cigarette buts all over the entryway, prices on games were random. I could look past alot of it but the kids everywhere is a bummer also the games were not well taken care of a pint of beer was 4.50 and lastly the pool tables are set up with nowhere to sit so all the players were all over the arcade cabs with their pool gear and drinks

Staff was incredibly rude and only seemed interested in giving attention to their friends at the bar. Game selection is ok but not great. Do yourself a favor and drive to Appleton and go to player 2, its significantly better.

Never again. After reading reviews of the opening weekend stating that children were everywhere even though it was past their time, I expected that the time would be enforced this week. Walked in an hour after the over 21 rule and was surrounded by children. Not only that, but it seemed like a very regular crowd who stared you down the entire time if you werent one of them. Us nerds dont really enjoy being stared at..... we just want to play old school arcade cabinets, not be stared at or bumped into by 100 children.

I have gone to this bar twice to make sure that my first experience wasnt just a fluke. Turns out my second experience was even worse than the first. HORRIBLE staff, they are totally rude and act like your inconveniencing them by asking for a beer. No beer list available either time, and games are really overpriced. Atmosphere is very stale and unexciting. I will NEVER return here again.

Review №33

Came in on a Tuesday... Not busy. Asked for a beer list bar tender said that they didnt have one. Asked me what type of beer I liked and I said Ipa, she pulls out a lakefront and says does this work? I was thinking thats all they had so I ordered it. After being asked to walk around the bar to sign for my card, I noticed that my favorite IPA was on tap and never offered because there is no beer list. They say they are a sports bar...13 TVs there is only one on and its not even the Brewers game... Even though they have advertisements all over the bar for Brewers specials. So much potential, but man they got a lot of work to do! Yes last Tuesday.

Review №48

I’ve been there twice now; once when it was first opened and three weeks after. At first the place had a good impression and was a bit openly spaced but when I came back for the second time, they added more things such as a ski ball machine, and made the place way better spaced. I have to say the arcade is amazing and tons of fun, they also have a dollar to quarters machine. Lastly I want to address the children issue and I don’t see why people are complaining about it because the bar and pool tables are seperate from the machine’s and I find it rediculous that people would find having children there offensive at later times.

This has too be the only arcade that dont seem too want kids there. Its an adult manchild drunk videogame bar. Not for kids.Was having a good time with my husband until a bunch of non sense happend.Ended up calling the police because they refused too give my car keys back...even after the police had told them to do so.Had staff claim too be off duty officers and they held my kids from me witch the police told me was kidnapping.I thought this was a bar-cade. Was told no kids would be allowed after 6pm.But after 3 hours of fun with my kids we wanted food to find out the place was NOT SERVING FOOD. Of course your going too have people get drunk...we advise everybody else too read the other reviews and go too player 2 in appleton instead.I was drinking making video game friends at the bar and my children were playing at the arcade. Machines stole quarters froze quite alot overall experience was complete disaster and would not recommend taking your kids.
