GameCraft Arcade - Southington, Connecticut

good place to go and hang with your friends
gets pretty busy on weekends so we’ve had to wait to use some of the games but it’s more chill during the weekday!
the themed drinks were good, and i like the variety of games there though the place does have a lot of pinball machines.

Gamecraft is my new favorite place!! We were in the area for something else and we were looking for things to do. My boyfriend saw this place on Google and we figured we would give it a try. He had a blast… and to be honest so did I! This place had so many options of games to play. I grew up on Mario kart, super Mario party, and guitar hero but it was really cool to see all the vintage machines. We had a blast playing mortal kombat, Tetris, super Mario world, donkey Kong, frogger, skee ball and astroids. They also had the Cruis’n Exotica (racing games) - I beat my boyfriend every time! He hates playing those with me now. The prices are very reasonable for coins to play games. I have also found a new love for pinball! These machines are so cool! Honestly, the goal was to just hit the ball and I didn’t really know what was happening but I had a blast! I cannot wait to come back to play more pinball lol. Drinks were great! And the bartender, I don’t know his name, but he was so knowledgeable about all games and things they offered. I think the best part was we got to play Mario Kart while having a drink at the bar - that’s a first for us but it was awesome!! Drinks were very good too! This place is about 40 mins from us, but we will for sure be back!

Awesome spot! Great friendly service and an awesome selection of pinball machines and beer. My favorite part was playing Nintendo while sitting at the bar! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in southington.

Decent place with a small collection of retro arcade games, as well as a fairly robust pinball collection. The pinball tables were mostly modern Stern machines, but there were about a half-dozen older tables from the 90s era.

Token prices are very reasonable. We were there during a pinball tournament so most of the tables were occupied a lot of the time, but they didn't use a bunch each round so we were still able to get some games in.

Great place to spend a weekend there to play some retro games. Not only do they have all kind of pinball machines, but a option to play the Switch. I cannot wait to see their new floor soon!

I’ve been going here quite often for years, and never once has this place felt dangerous, cold, uninviting or cramped. The folks here are from all walks of life, ages, backgrounds and cultures. Unlike some other troubling watering holes in town, the crowd here is just looking for a quaint place to hang their hat and meet some new friends.

Enjoy their many modern and classic pinball machines, partake in weekly and monthly tournaments and leagues, play all sorts of arcade games, sit at the bar and watch a movie, sports game or try your hand at some switch games with others at the bar. There’s so much to do here, and no matter when you go, staff is always so friendly and helpful. I’d name my favorite bartenders, but I’d simply be naming the entire staff.

Founded by two brothers with a childhood dream and an unstoppable will, this place echoes the very sentiment its founders had intended it to. Gamers, sports fans, bar hoppers, business people, or just folks who love a good cocktail all pile in and make this place wonderful.

See ya there!

Great selection of different beers and classic arcade games. I might be telling my age, but this brings me back to middle school in high school years. It's nice to play a game, and it does not cost 4 dollars per play. Most of of of the games are .25 or
50 cents .

Again, a great selection of beers and classic arcade games. Not for everyone, but a fun place to come out, have a beer, and play a few games.

Best arcade in New England (yes, that includes Funspot). The machines are well maintained and rotated out frequently. You can come back in a month after a visit and have a whole new experience.
