This little place was perfect for a small birthday party. They have old school arcade games and not just digital.

Great fun when it started out. Games were fresh and bright! Fast forward and I visited for the first time in a couple years. The place: Now it seems dull and dingy. The bright is gone replaced by chain smoking hipsters out front holding the door open so you can't escape the stench anywhere inside! The floor is sticky and bits of whatever have been swept under the games. There is a bar smell (stale spilled beer) that a really strong in places. I know it's a bar, but the focus is the games, right? The Restrooms: My GF who is pretty tough, refused to use them and held out till we got back to CC BBQ. The Games: 6 out of 10 we wanted to play wouldn't even take a quarter. 2 other swallowed them happily but wouldn't register. We stuck to the pinball at 4x the cost, but at least they worked. Many of the old school games were in pretty rough shape. The sticks/knobs were loose and the buttons stuck or barely registered. Makes for a laugh at times when you are playing 2P, but it's not why I visited. Like many others the bartender marginalized us (we weren't drinking like her friends were.. yes, there was an obvious friendliness between them because she wouldn't ask them to move so we could play!) and blamed service that obviously didn't happen as several other reviews state. The Crowd: Several people seemed very annoyed that I was making them move so that I could play a favorite game that had been poorly placed so that we both were in each others way. Their loud, drunken attitude and the stink in the corner made us feel that this wasn't the place to stay long. Overall: I miss my video games and the fun they provide. I was looking forward to an evening playing them again. I was disappointed and will have to look for a really good reason to loose quarters and clean the sticky off my shoes. Sadly, I will stop recommending this place to friends and visitors to WS that love retro video games as much as I do.

Yep, doggos are always welcome at Reboot! Our owner even brings his husky puppy in regularly. We provide water for the pups, and there's a large grassy area across the street with waste bins for when they need to go.

They clean games in between players. And masks are required when not drinking. Felt safe.
