Fun place to meet up with friends or even solo. Great variety of games including my personal favorites air hockey and skee ball. Nice outing with kids earlier in the day and then in the evenings 21 and over. Bar inside and pizza truck outside. Plenty of seating indoors and out on the covered deck.

Always loved this place. First time here was back in 2017 I believe and it's just the same as it was before. The crowd is a mixed crowd, everyone is made to feel welcome. Love the live bands and the pizza truck right outside. Never had a terrible time at this place. The bartenders are also really good as well

Tokens can be purchased at our token machines with cash or credit and are equivalent to quarters in value at 25 cents per token. Cheers!

Is there a pool table?

Zach Moose | Jan 19, 2019
Ian Vanderhorst | Jan 20, 2019

Don't understand why people are saying yes to this... It's an arcade, there are video games. No pool table. The closest thing to a pool table they have is air hockey.

Can someone who’s not 21 come here?

Paige Bateman | Jan 19, 2018
Erica L | Jan 20, 2018

It's common to see kids or those under 21 at Boxcar. Sometimes patrons forget kids are near, so it's not guaranteed to be kid appropriate even though it's kid friendly. Their website states that it is strictly 21+ after 9 o'clock.
