    Loved this arcade, it has and entry fee then all the games are on free play. They have a solid lineup of arcade and pinball machines. The pinball machines are all modern sterns and the arcade games range from modern to classic. There is a bar there, and what looks like good pizza, I can't comment more as I didn't we always, but it looked good. Went here twice on a work trip and loved it.

    Cidercade was so much fun! Great games, great cider, and amazing food. I had the best thin-crust pizza I’ve ever had, plus an incredible freshly made pretzel. Definitely a must-visit in Austin!

    Such a fun place to spend time with family and friends! They have a great selection of classic and old-school arcade games, which makes the atmosphere really nostalgic and entertaining. The food is also a great value — the pizza is only $14, and the unlimited soda refill is just $4 with several options to choose from. It’s a great combination of good prices, fun games, and a family-friendly environment. Definitely a place I would recommend if you’re looking for somewhere casual and fun to hang out, play games, eat, and enjoy time together!

    From person 1. this place sucks because frogger don't work and the pizza mid be better. From person 2. that chicken is stinky and y'all need better games ,because those games boo boo water and why is your floor bumpy? From person 3. Honestly where should I start. This place is just TERRIBLE. Half of the games were down. The pizza was too FLAT and the cheese was NASTY . The drinks were okay but they smelled weird and tasted funny. FROM person 4. this place suck boo boo it was fizza the pizza was sooooooo nasty it was flat I HATE IT THERE AND THEN THE RIST BANDS ARE SO TIGHT LIKE WHAT IN THE WORLD I DON’T KNOW HOW YALL GOT FIVE STARS.

    I'd say worth it for a day's entertainment. Our family of 5 had a really good time playing all of the games (they have old ones, new ones, off brand, and foreign ones). It was a pretty big place, and most of the arcades worked. Found some new favorite ones, too! My son said the inside was too loud and after a while, he grew weary of being inside. It is a sensory overload. The pizza serving is rather small (personal size) but tasted good, the chicken wings were huge, and their ciders were ok, but we are beer drinkers. I did not like the fact that you didn't know what was on tap, and you had to pull up the menu on your phone. Pretty pricey for the size of the cups, too. All you can drink soda from their off brand soda fountain machine in little mouthwash cups for $4!!! The view to the lake was neat with outdoor seating, but July in Texas is too to be outside.

    Overall good experience. Service was friendly at the bar and you can sample the cider if you’re struggling to make a decision. Food was good, although our pager never went off to notify us our food was ready. I didn’t like the wings as the smoke flavor on them was overwhelming. We originally ate outside but then there was a raccoon visitor that was basically begging for food so we retreated inside. Games were cool and there was a great variety. We went in the early evening and there were a lot of families and teens there but it was still enjoyable nothing like Chuck E Cheese. Definitely go after 9 if you want to enjoy it with just adults. We’ll be back!

    Staff here rocks! Always friendly and chill vibes. Great view and a great place for new generations to discover pinball with a lower barrier to entry. Not having to pay per game really helps folks mess around with an analog experience that can be a bit intimidating. Games obviously get a lot of play and gorilla flips, so there are other spots in town if you want to play a specific release that’s shopped more frequently / gets less play. But yeah, lovely folks here. Appreciate y’all!

    A friend and I were in town for vacation and randomly found this place. It’s everything that it builds itself to be. The cider selection was incredible, the pizza was delicious. We had a blast playing all of the arcade games. I wish I had all those quarters back that I wasted in my youth. If you’re like us, you’ll want to get there early and during the school week if possible. From about 10:30 to 1130, we had the place to ourselves.

    My favorite arcade place from now on. Frankly child dream come true. All the classic games you can imagine and for $10? Nicely located on the river bank with great view, makes it better. But the unexpected surprise was the food. Great pizza, wonderful smoked wings. Damm I'm coming again!

    Was visiting Austin recently with my daughter to visit family, and they suggested going here. The pizzas were pretty good and the drinks were awesome. Even though it was a busy day, we were able to play a variety of games. The staff were incredibly polite and friendly and we were impressed overall. We will definitely come back next time we are in town!
