Free Play Bar Arcade

Awesome throwback to my youth! It was a lot of fun having come on family day, and seeing the two teenage boys enjoy the old arcade games as (almost) much as I had…back in the day. I really loved being able to progress through some games that I was not able to when having to spend quarters to do so…many years ago. The barkeep made his favorite drink for us which was the pictured whiskey and soda…it was awesome! Try this place for a fun date when it’s 21 and over only…you really can’t go wrong.

Good place to go if you're like me and miss the arcades of the 90s. Good drinks, too. I like their drinks names and how they kept it with the gaming theme. Excellent staff, from the door staff to the floor staff, all are very nice people. They're always rotating games in and out, which I think it's great. It's not just the same games all the time.

I've ended up becoming somewhat of a regular here. Very respectable business with a great game selection, plus passionate staff and ownership. I've only ever been treated kindly here. My play mostly rhythm games, and this place offers a good variety of them, as well as standard retro fare. Drinks are priced fairly and the entry fee is modest for the area, given the upkeep required to keep places like this in business. They have a great selection of Pinball machines as well and do routine maintenance on all of their equipment, but do note that you need to be 21 to enter, even if you don't drink. The place itself is large but not open concept, which makes it feel more like an old school arcade, as you traverse a circular route around the place and keep finding new machines. They also periodically cycle out some machines for new ones which keeps things fresh. If you're in Worcester and even remotely like games, this is a must-see cornerstone of city nightlife here.

Recommended by a friend while I was in the area as I'm a pretty big arcade head, not disappointed. Great selection of classic arcades, all working order and crisp and snappy. Atmosphere was fantastic, felt like 90s vibes for adults. Decent selection of pinball cabinets. If you have $7 to burn I highly suggest stopping in. The bartender was very chill, too. ~~Extra~~ Games I remember if looking for something specific Rhythm games: Pump it up pro - no card scan, no access to full menu (speed mod etc) at the time I played, pads in great condition otherwise DDR Extreme - screen a bit dim, no other issues, pad in great condition, marvelous window is on SDVX - Right knob a little sus, great otherwise Chunitha - No issues Jubeat - Looked ok, didn't play Pinball: Guns and Roses - OOC/non-operational Scared Stiff - Ball sticks quite a bit in upper track, have to shake pretty hard to release it a few times Lord of the Rings - Flippers don't match, not really an issue though Terminator Rocky and Bullwinkle Outrun Who Dunnit Funhouse Ghostbusters Attack from Mars Pirates of the Caribbean Addams Family Classics: Burgertime Sinistar Galaga Galaxian Toobin' Dig-dug Joust Robotron Super Mario Bros 3 Snes vision with super tennis, super Mario world, F-zero Castlevania Dragon quest - very quiet, screen dim, fun though!

Very fun place for that video gamer. They have all sorts of retro games. A room of pinball machines (my favorite) and ski ball. The serve pizza and have a large choice of beers and liquor. They even carry local brewers products. Price has gone up to $12, but you can't beat one price and play as much as you want. It does get a.little crowded sometimes but people tend to be respectful of each other's space. Arcade games, air hockey, pinball, ski ball, and great music list from the 80's,90's and early 2000's
