REVIEWS OF Free Play Bar Arcade IN Rhode Island

Grant L

Great place to go for a date. Great value and drink prices are good too. They've got everything popular and the ones that I've never even heard of (granted I'm only 23 so I haven't heard of many of them haha). Definitely will be a repeat customer!

Marianne Iarossi

So awesome! We had so much fun killing an hour or two before dinner reservations. Felt like a kid playing all the classic games...but here you do it with a drink in your hand. Flat fee at the door so all the games are unlocked and unlimited. Full bar. Good variety and selection in classic arcade games. Serious fun. Wish I lived closer!

Cassandra Lemay

Best barcade in Providence. Large selection of games, affordable drinks and fun atmosphere. The lounge is off the hook and their DJ is awesome. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Tim Anderson

So many games! Good rotating beer selection on draft plus cans/bottles changing.

Jacob Mariorenzi

Solid experience, drag queens and arcade games is all you can ask for! As far as Providence activities, I would say that free play is among the most fun I've had in a night with relatively low hassle. We went on a Monday for a drag event and I loved it! It's a solid bar experience, with an acceptable selection of alcohol, but the main draw is clearly the events and arcade selection. Overall it's a good night out! I'd recommend stopping by for one of the special events.

Dene Peachey

Great place and no it's not like Dave & Busters. It's a 90's arcade with a bar. You pay a cover and all the games are free play. They have a solid booze selection and great beers on tap, I think they sell pizza too, but the reason I come here is all in the first two sentences. Lots of date night happening on the Friday we were there celebrating my nephews birthday. It's a great time and I would do it again.

Rielly Botsch

DDR, air hockey, lots of pinball and more!! This is an awesome spot. 10$ at the door and unlimited game play all night. Just wish they had some cheaper drinks on the menu♥️

Walter Morgynski

10 cover and some of the games are broken, but it's very fun if you like old arcade games

Michelle M

Great atmosphere at this arcade bar! So many games to choose from that even on a busy Friday night you didn't have to wait to play. It's a steal that for just a $10 cover you have access to free play all of the games, as well as access to the club upstairs if you decide you need a dance break! The beer selection is great and constantly changing. Ill definitely be back with more friends!

Vivian Schirripa

Really cool place in the middle of downtown providence. Arcade selection was nice, and I really like the idea of a free play arcade. It gets rid of the stress of carrying around coins, and of course spending them all too quickly. You pay at the door and that's it. The bar has cocktails, and beer.

Charlotte Boccuzzi

So much fun!

Omar Perez

Great selection of nostalgic arcade games with unlimited play! Bartender had a great attitude and good drinks!

Risk Romer

It's just so much fun . If you're a GenX'er this is like a time capsule, you'll love it!

Justin Pereira

Fantastic atmosphere. Great music. Awesome game selection. The club upstairs is a blast. I've included some pics of the club.

Nathan Snitko

Beyond nostalgia, Freeplay is a good entertainment value. Highly recommended.

Nathan Ramsay

Beer and free arcades. Does life get any better?

Thelma Dennis

Had a Wonderful time

David Bravo

My son and I love this place!

Isidro Pires

Very nostalgic, game free after cover charge drinks on par with downtown prices... would definitely recommend you check it out

Keith Moreau

Awesome place! Every game from my childhood that I could imagine.

Peter Gomes

Awesome time but wouldn't recommend going on weekends. Too crowded especially for disabled people. Overall a great time and great memories!

Aaron Staples

Fantastic place! Cover charge is worth all the games, not really a build up in lines for machines and drinks are well priced. Staff is super friendly!

Andre Ratchford

The environment is nice and the games that are there are all classics from what I have seen. I enjoyed my first time there and will definitely be going back.

Nicholas Garza

How had I never been to this place? Its very cool. $5 gets you in, and then you can play all the videogames and pinball you can stomach. A really wide variety of games, from super old classics to relatively modern shooters. Decent (but pricey) beer selection. Will definitely be returning.

Derek Michael Gray

This place is great. I can't believe how many classic games they have plus a ton of beer options. It's an 80's arcade heaven amd on Sundays kids can go!

Nigrelli ニグレリMatthew マシュー

Very good value for the money! 10 dollar cover. Free play with no limit. Must be 21 or over to enter. Check at the door.

Matt Bevilacqua

Classic Games and a bar what's not to love?

Joe Doeodc

Arcade was a good time but you have to be a jackass to actually serve that disgusting pizza. Wouldn’t serve it to my pet.

Candace Perreira

This place was way cool and reasonable!! If you love old school arcade games,You will love this place!!Over 100 old school arcade games I had fun!! brought me back man holy nostolgia!!

Louisa Anne

If you like arcade games, are nostalgic for the 80s, or are bored of your usual Saturday night routine--try Free Play. You won’t regret stopping in. Tons of cabinets, from super retro/old-school and also recent favorites that you might find at Dave & Busters. It gets busy, which might impede your ability to spend an hour at your fav game, but it’s big enough that you can always find a new game to play. Bar prices aren’t amazing, and there is a $10 cover at the door, but their location justifies the price I suppose.

Jo Lee

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Every arcade game ever made, a single entrance fee, a hand stamp that I liked having, fresh drinks, and delicious pizza. Easily spent hours with my friends here and will definitely do it again.

Mark FitzSimmons

The bar is waaaaay too expensive. The arcade is a great deal and a great experience

Brian Pimental

Fun. Brings back memories of being a kid with old video games

Jonathan Lopez

Great arcade and drinks are good

Randy Pinkham

Really fun place. Tons of old arcade games.

Michael Downing

Family fun night was great

Sarah Raposo

Plenty to do. Decent drinks and the environment wasn't too loud to hear or have fun.

M Carey

The best place for beating your favorite games you used to play as a kid...while drinking a beer:-)

Jorge Hernandez

First time there n it was great. 80's music n all the sounds of the games. We were there when opened n had fun,chill place. Will go again for sure.

Bret McDaniel

5 bucks at the door then play all the familiar 80s / 90s arcade games and pinball to your hearts content. Money will spent. They have booze and pizza if it already wasn't cool enough.

Mark Morgan

I went for Gayme night on Monday. Go a bit early to play the games but the drag show is a must see! I’ve never been so welcomed, great vibes! There were plenty of games to choose from. Can’t complain for $4.00 cover. I’d like to see them repair some of the games but I don’t know anything about arcade maintenance. The drinks were tasty as well.

Stephen Ola

If you love retro everything from the arcade to the movies they play at the bar then this is the spot,geeks and gamers this is the perfect place

josh harold

Good time. Some of the arcade games are broken but that is to be expected from a bar. Good selection of games.

Lisa W

What a different crowd from The Rooftop... but I like, definitely more chill and the drinks are cheap here! It’s a $10 cover but you get to play unlimited arcade games. They even have a dance floor on the second level that played pretty good music. Big arcade bar theme place. Fun to hang out with some friends.

Jay Wyatt

Great atmosphere, definitely feel like a kid with all the old school games.

Peter Theilig

Resonably priced drinks, fantastic music, and all the old arcade machines you could ever hope to play

Eduardo J López Morin

Amazing place to go and have fun. You can go there with friends and even a random date. If you like old school gaming and chat this is the place. Once you want to do something else you can go upstairs to the dance floor and be crazy for a while.

Tim McCarthy

You know that arcade game you played as a kid at the arcade? The one you'd pump the only ten dollars you had I'm, one quarter at a time? And you always wished you had more money so you could just keep playing and be the arcade champ? Well, now you don't have to worry about money and can play it as much as you want. However, there's so much to play, you won't care about being the arcade champ, you'll only care about playing everything and having a good time with some friends.

Lindsey Goulet

Really fun place to go on a second or third date to have a good time. They have some really interesting/older games but they have all the classics too! With a lot of pac man games, air hockey, and DDR! Bummer it’s 21 plus sometime because I want to bring my younger cousins there.

Errick Nunnally

Fun spot, classic arcade games maintained by a cover fee for entrance. (It was $10 on a Friday, might vary.) Great selection of beers and rec room games too. The Air Hockey tables were a bit ragged, but still fun. Loud! It's not a place for conversations!

Celia Girard

So much fun! Old school games and free unlimited play on everything! Fun drink menu and good selection.

wrathsin13

Extremely cool bar,enough arcade and pin machines for the crowd bartenders friendly and attentive.

David Allen

Fun stuff. Games I have not played in 30 years. Need to practice more..I will be back.....in fact have been 2 more times since our first try. We keep remembering games and .......yes they have them. Took a whole bunch of friends here for my 50th birthday....as a break....spent 1 hour totally worth it.

Debbie Iafrate

Always fun time..staff so friendly

Shannon Davis

The bar itself is huge but I would highly recommend going on a week night (Monday through Thursday). It gets extremely crowded and game choice becomes limited. Don't go with a large group, as there is nowhere to meet up and talk together. On Saturdays, the upstairs dance lounge opens to play throwbacks and it's a pretty good time!

Daniel W

Great games and a fantastic selection of beer! I still haven't gotten my hands on the 4 way air hockey table.

Alex Bolves

This place is so much fun. So many games from the classics to some newer stuff as well. Go with a group of friends and plan on acting like a kid again. A TON of games packed wall to wall in this place. Staff is always really nice and working hard to get you drinks ASAP. People there are also generally in a good mood and everyone is good about taking turns or moving on if someone is politely waiting to play something behind them.

Fay Silva

I love this place! Free play on arcade games and the bar has some great beer choices

Retro Beaver

This place is awesome. I wide selection of retro games to play and a nice cafe and bar.

Jeff Searles

Love old school games ??? Come here you will have a blast. Have a drink and play pac-man. I'll be back for more myself. All games are free. $5 dollars at the door during the week and $10 during the weekend.

Asma Lazzouni

Honestly such a gem. So many arcade games and pin ball! Best part is the free play. Who cares if you’re paying an arm and a leg for drinks if you get to play as much Mario and street fighter as you want! Worth the trip!

Chris Maury-Harden

Place is amazing. Lots of games from all decades of the arcade. Also features pinball, air hockey, and of course a bar. Cheap too.

Shane Bricault

It's like I'm 14 again!! 5x the size of what was "The Dream Machine" but all the nostalgia of it. Great idea. I hope it is here to stay.

Tim Colp

Dive bar meets old school arcade. Perfect

Michelle Loefstedt

Fun times! Went once on a Monday night and the cover was like $4 for gayme night- there was karaoke and a beautiful drag queen singing some Whitney Houston! It’s busy on most weekend nights and you’ll find yourself waiting for some of the more popular games i.e. Mario Kart, where people hijack the game for like 20 mins (which seems like an eternity when you’re drunk and waiting..) However, if you go during the day right when they open you’ll feel like you have your own personal arcade!

Steve Amedeo

Overall cool place but a bunch of games weren't working

Nick Piscitello

7/20/19 Had a great time first time in the place. Destroyed my friend at Tekken 2 felt pretty good about that to start. Headed upstairs into the club bizarro world and had a great time. The playlist of music was the worst best hip hopish music of the 90's and 2000's. Had to get out there and dance my a** off anyhow. Yeah, I was that guy there tonight. My final and most energetic performance was done to "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys. I'm pretty sure I burned myself into the minds of everyone in that club at least for the rest of the night. I seriously went off. I was completely sober too. There was a very beautiful young lady in a pinkish dress that had all my attention when I wasn't cuttin it to 50 Cent. Anyhow, great place. I dare you to do it bigger than I just did at the Free Arcade tonight.

Michael Grass

Playing DDR while drunk is not only fun but a great way to burn off the calories from drinking.

Michael Arabian

So cool! $5 ($10 on weekends) gets you unlimited game play all night, you cant ask for more. Also there is a 80-90s dance club upstairs which i believe is included in the price.

Francesco Sardoni

Awesome place to be if you love the old and best arcade video games. Fantastic.

Nick Morgan

Go on Mondays, and stay for late night fun. You will not be disappointed. Unless youre not into having fun, in which case, you will be disappointed. Great drinks, great staff, AMAZING selection of free games. Will certainly be dragging everyone I know back here.

Becka Carroll

Only a $5 cover on weekdays ($10 on weekends) with tons of unlimited games. Great bar staff and drinks. Always a fun time and there's nothing else like it in Providence!

Douglas Goepfert

All the favorites, nicely restored and well maintained.

Matty Thrash

Great place, so many games it's hard to know where to start! The deal to get in is crazy cheap for the amount of arcade games.

Gloria Ribeiro

This is a cheap and entertaining. I just wish it was 18 and older. Definitely going back.

Timothy Killilea

For me, summering in the Hamptons meant going to the working class New Hampshire coastal town called Hampton Beach. The strip had at least three arcades that people could play skeeball, pinball, and the latest iteration of sports, shooting, and video games all the while standing up. Now, that same feel of the old school arcade has found its way in the back part of a building on Pine Street in Downtown Providence. Free Play Bar Arcade has collected some of my most favorite games and combined it with one of the best beer, wine, and liquor selections around. Seriously, I was excited to hear about the new gluten free drinks and tequilas they had. The only food they serve is traditional pizzas, gluten allergic people should avoid this. And, did I mention the games? Paying a cover fee gets you all the free play you like, from Time Crisis 3 to The Simpsons to X-Men, you'll have something to enjoy. I do have to say that, since they are old games, there are some issues with the functionality of the arcade games. Time Crisis 3 has an issue where the light gun sensor in the video screen does not work, leaving bad guys still alive and not jumping like a gymnast after getting hit by a teeny bullet. Wolverine in X-Men may not be able to always perform the attack function because the button didn't work, either that, or he is struggling as a pacifist in the mutant civil rights action against Sentinels. But, I digress, Free Play Bar Arcade is not to be missed. Bring

AtriumXP AtriumXP

Excellent club to pass some time and hang out with friends! Most of the games work perfectly (some have minor issues, like a couple of the guns on shooters are heavily worn but usable). The downstairs floor layout is a bit treacherous if you've been drinking (a d you should be). Only major gripe I had is the Skeeball machines don't properly track scores, making them largely pointless. Good drinks menu, limited food options. The dance party upstairs is a lot of fun, even if you don't dance. Coat check is available inside, for a small fee.

David Burgess

Fun place to go and have a great time. Retro machines were awesome. Only issue was quite a few of them had button issues or joysticks we're not working correctly.

Tyler Glode

Awesome concept. Pay a cover, free arcade games all night. Drinks are reasonably priced and they have frequent events.

Michael Donegan

Can't say enough good things about this place! They have some arcades I haven't seen or played since I was a kid in the late 80's / early 90's. The bar is a little pricey but for the inexpensive cover and free-to-play games, it's very worth it! Loved spending a few hours here!!

Scott Phothisane

This place is great! It's a $10 cover to get in, some night its $5, but even then everything is on free play. The drink are priced very well. Only slight problem is some of the games need a little tune up

Tom's Thrifty Life

If you haven't been here and you live in Rhode Island: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? This place lives up to the hype, it has every game you would want to play under the sun including the infamous Star Wars Vector Arcade cabinet. Wow just wow, full bar lots of options; staff was pleasant; place was clean and well operated. Cover was only 4 bucks, and that's a steal during the week(I think the price goes up during the weekend.) If I still lived in RI I'd be hitting this spot up very frequently, a must go!

Jon Chavez

This place is downright awesome!! The pizza is good and cheap ($9 at the time of writing this.) $5 during the week, $10 on Fri and Sat but unlimited game play once your in the door. All the games I loved when I was younger (no I am NOT revealing my age, lol) but this place brings back the kid in me. That is if the kid could play unlimited games, eat pizza and drink beer. I just went last night and am already excited to be returning tonight. I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer. Ready player one.

Michael Buglione

$10 cover but highly worth it. Every cabinet is free play. They have wall to wall cabinets and because of this there is always a cabinet available for someone to play. They have everything from Dance Dance Revolution to time crisis and House of the Dead, and classics such as Q-bert, Donkey Kong, Pacman, and Galaga. The only downside of it is because of the amount of cabinets in there it does get a bit toasty inside, and the layout makes it difficult to get around if you've had a few to drink. All in all a great place to spend a night with friends, or to have fun with someone special.

Danielle Martin

One cost to get in and all games are free. 5$ weekdays, $10 fridays and Saturdays. So many old school video games from Donkey Kong, Super Mario brothers, Qubert. Walls of pinball machines, air hockey and ski ball. 80's and 90's music playing, and movies on the TV. They also have a full bar, and pizza. Great!

Frank B

This place is freaking awesome. $10 cover gets you unlimited play on 100's of games that you miss and love. Drink selection is on point and is reasonably priced. Great for anyone 21 to dead. Check it out, you really should. Games you miss, love, and some that you haven't even heard of. Dancing too, and it's not a sausage fest. Love it.

Jay Curtis

Great time if you love classic arcade games! Watch your step!

ken g

The Free Play Bar Arcade is a great place if you like enjoy arcade style video games. The 10$ cover covers your play for the whole night. You can just hit th button and continue on with the carnage with out fumbling to put more quarts in. the atmosphere was a very chill one and i can't wait to visit the free play bar arcade.

George Eglesfield

Worth the $10 entry fee. Drinks and reasonably priced. Very wide selection of arcade games to olay. Something for everyone

Janice Sanchez

Awesome! This is such a unique place it is a bar, a vintage arcade place, and a night club (on the 2nd floor) all in one. And all for $10 entry. And they free pour your drinks so they give you a good amount of alcohol which is always a good thing! It is a little less than half of Colosseum renovated. It does get packed and people park at games since it is free to play so they can hog a game all night if they want. But there are so many games it doesn't make it too big a deal.

billdelri

Retro video games, lots of fun. Average drink prices. Be careful of steps inside the bar. All three of us stumbled more than once and we were not drinking. If you love video games and pinball, stop by and relive memories and fun.

Sonia Oh

This place is so cool! Had a great time.

Adam Lerner

Really enjoyed this 80’s throwback. It reminded me of when I was younger at the arcade, now even better because I can drink. So much better than Dave and busters. The neighborhood is fine, we heard a few people say the area is dangerous but it’s not at all.

Samantha Private

The games were a lot of fun, the staff was very pleasant, I like the bartenders they were patient, polite, and accommodating, the clientele were not big drinkers, polite people, the drinks were about average in price. I cant wait to go again.

Jaidev Dalvi

The best place to hangout and play games on a weekend! I like air hockey particularly!

Ronny James

Huge assortment of Arcade fun. Brought my 30 year old son. He cut his teeth on this scene. Of course adding pizza and beer only makes it a Mecca for anyone old enough to remember a fist of quarters and pinball machines!

David Matthew Brown

Fun place to have a good time.

Axel Ringwood

Oh hey, this is DGAF... Or at least it used to be. I'm wicked happy with what they've done to the place, it used to be a club but not it's a spacious barcade. In true fashion to this location I started the night off with a drink and dancing, just this time it was DDR and not a live DJ... With the same music

RiCkY

Dope place to chill with fam and friends

Kyle Bromley

Awesome little place that really takes you back! An arcade that gives you the best of the 70s - 2000s and has a full liquor bar!!

Kyra White

So much fun! Went here with several coworkers and we all had a great time. Bartender was awesome and gave the ladies a free shot!

Jimmi Underhill

Great place. Reasonable prices for drinks and all you can play old school games!!!

Steve

Only complaint please put speed chip in ms pacman.great place

Justine Lavoie

Great experience! All you can play for $10 and cheap drinks with a dance party! What could be better!

Shivani Patel

It gets crowded on the weekends, but the best spot in town

Adam Robertson

My only complaint would be that they open at 5. Great hangout spot.

SugarFree Productions dba

31 yesterday plus, free to play games after a modest cover charge, my college age son and I had a blast playing vintage games

Christian Torres

One of my new favorite places to hang out. $10 entry, all games are free. They also have a bar. Great dark underground feel to it. Props to the folks who put this place together.

Greg Nowicki

Inexpensive way to have some fun And they have real pinball machines!

Nate Marks

Cover was 10$ to get in. Exceptional game and pinball selection. The dj that night did an awesome job of remixing the finest if 80s music. The bartenders made wonderful cocktails and they even dressed like the bad karate students from the Karate Kid movie. This was an exceptional shout out to the arcades of the 80s and a nostalgic experience for a 36 year old that misses those days. Brilliant concept, artsy hip city, very much enjoyed.

Mary Maloney

Good games, though some were having problems working right. The drink selection was wonderful and the pizzas we're decent. The lights were very distracting to me, but I know my friends said it reminded them of arcades they went to as children. Somewhat loud but great music choices.

Pennie Bates

So much fun and memories (I'm a lady from the eighties ) I'll be back, with reinforcements! LOL

Michael Weiner

Please fix your joy sticks and buttons. Many games dont work right. A few pinball machines flappers were broken. Some games flicker because of the base of the club music. How can you play when the screen flashes....

Kelly Wood

Such a chill place to remember my good ole days of playing arcade games with the now added benefit of enjoying a frosty beer. Door fee is awesome for the hours you can enjoy there. Bringing everyone/anyone I know whenever available. Such a great time!

Todd Bowes

A wide range of games and a fun atmosphere. Easy to kill a few hours here!

Stephanie Nolan

Drinks are a little pricey but games are free so it evens out. 4 player air hockey is awesome!

Charlotte Ramdeen

Love this place. Best Bar-arcade in Rhode Island. Great selection of local spirits! Also the new Pac -Man and DDR Supernova 1 and 2 are guilty pleasures!

Mike Benway

Huge selection of games (pinball, arcade, ski-ball and air-hockey) carefully curated by passionate collector/owner over the course of a decade. Consistently charming and helpful staff. Great, thoughtful draft beer rotation. Yummy thin crust pizza. Nicely laid out for an adventurous vibe. And a fantastic bargain on admission for unlimited play. Makes for my regular weekly routine evenings' escape from reality! Best in the country I have seen so far. Feel very lucky to have these folks as neighbors.

John Minor

My new favorite bar in Providence! Great beer selection and an incredible selection of classic games. They have some great pinball machines too that I haven't seen in years. It's pretty crowded in Saturday nights so if you want a more mellow experience I suggest going midweek when they open.

Jordan Rogowski

Full stop the best arcade I’ve ever been to and it’s not even close. It’s $10 at the door but once you’re in it’s unlimited free plays. Of everything. And my god is the selection immense. Every game from your childhood that you could want to play is here plus some newer stuff to go with it. There’s four-way air hockey, tons of pinball, shooting games, racing games, Mario games, everything. Add to all of that a good beer selection and you have just an absolute treasure of an establishment. People of Providence — protect this place at all costs.

Shawn Morgynski

Lots of fun games! had a great night during the fire thingy whatever it's called (I am from Philly and my husband is from everywhere in New England.). Gots to to play lots of video games and my husband played one racing game with me. he was going first and I was going second - so I sped up and smashed him off the road and then I won! Lot's of fun I recommend this place!

Taylor Laramee

$10 cover for unlimited arcade games. Great bar with even better pizza!

Zachary Solitro

Awesome place to hang out and have some old school fun without the screaming and whining of kids or young teens. Everyone I've met is laid back and respectful. Would recommend anyone who wants to enjoy reliving the arcade days while having a beer.

Nicole Tillery

I've been recommending this place to people non-stop since going. A huge variety of fun games. Add drinks and some food, what more could you want?

toa jemyi

This place is amazing and just $5 to get in please visit this place. Plus they have a 6 player X-Men arcade.

Nathaniel Nelson

Very good selection of games. They even have dragon slayer and that old dnd arcade game

Kurt Elfstrom

Awesome. Had all you classic arcade games with booze!

David Rutkin

$10 cover and decent priced drinks. Games were so much fun though you have to remember that most of these games are antiques so sometimes they are not the most responsive. Over all such a fun time and great way to lose track of time with the vintage games and movies on the TV's

Meghan Ricci

Drinks are extremely expensive. I'd rather pay more to get in and have cheaper drinks

Kyle Stephens

Amazing place! The fact that it is open until 1 am on weeknights is amazing. The staff are friendly, there is a HUGE selection of games (great mix of classics and ones you've likely never heard of) and the mixed drinks are interesting concoctions. All you have to do is pay the cover and all games are unlimited play (hence the name FREEplay). Highly recommend.

Dave Lang

Great game selection and atmosphere! This is truly an incredible place for an affordable price!

James Frechette

Great volume and variety of classic games. Even on a busy Friday night still plenty of accessible games with a group of 4 to enjoy. Cover was $20. Decent bar selection. Great night out with friends. Most games were functioning pretty well. Skee ball and air hockey were nice additions to classic cabinet style games from 80s and 90s.

Ryan Casey

It can get crowded, but the games are all in great shape and their drink prices aren't as high as even other bars in the area. Overall, it's a fun evening

Samantha Jones

Absolutely one of the best places to visit in Providence

J M

Nice spot! First time here over the last weekend and I loved it. Pay a cover and then all the games are free play. Had lots of old school titles that i haven't played since I was a kid. Even. Had some air hockey that was alot of fun. Will def be back.

Ian Kowza

I had a blast. This was so fun. It was the perfect way to end our pub crawl.

Katie Larsh

I feel like a kid again!!!! If you have $5 in your pocket, go to Freeplay and relive your childhood! Every game is endlessly free, which is great when you're terrible at arcade games and constantly run out of lives! Fantastic bar service and selection. Didn't check out the food, but I will the next time!!! Bring a date or bring your friends... You won't be disappointed!

Jason Linden

Neat idea for a bar. $10 cover fee, but then some games were not working.

Brandon Allen

free play is awesome. definitely stop in if you love old video games and booze.

Robert Tobin

Free arcade games, club atmosphere upstairs, what's not to love? Great place for a fun outgoing first date. Xz

karlie sundberg

Their was no one on it at 9pm a little early but they have a dance floor. A dance floor on the second floor. Girl squad next week.

Dana lizotte

So much fun. Really brought me back in time, plus good craft beer selection

Raliegh Green

They had all the old school games

Steveskii Stoneballs

Took me Back in Time ! Loved it. Great concept. Will definitely be back !

Jaimee Dorsey

Arcade and bar there's nothing better

Chelsea G

Such good games, good beer, it's got air hockey (important!!) And I can't wait to try the new dance space upstairs!!!

Alex Ortega Jr

Just like my local coin op back home, a fun place to come and just let loose for a little bit. 10 bucks got you unlimited game play and beer is actually decently priced inside. Has all the original arcade games from the 80's and 90's so for younger folk you may not remember but it was going down memory lane for me.

Muna DeathWatcher

Awesome place easily spent 3 hours and only $5 would go again and again.

Star Mik

Really great retro bar and club highly recommended for anyone and everyone

Robert Hird

Good drinks, awesome games, makes you want to go back. Side note, don't forget to close your tab, they will lose your credit card. Not even mad though the place is fun enough they get a pass.

Chris Leduc

This place is awesome. If you love old arcade games this is the place to go with friends to have a good night out!! Everything is free play!! 21+ only so you don't have to worry about little kids running around and what not. They do card you at the door just so you know. And they accept cards as payment if you don't have cash on you.

Out of all the places I've been to in Providence, this is by far the best. Plenty of choices. They're always growing and adding new games.

Dawn Roux

So much fun at this place. They have all the games you could imagine, plus a bar to boot. Great time to be had!!

David Bunch

Great selection of games, some of the sticks on the machines need some maintenance, DDR machines also not very well maintained.

Ken Horn

Loads of classic arcade and pinball machines all set for free play - just pay a $5 cover fee. Good selection of beers and some pretty good pizza. This place is great!

We had a fantastic time ! Makes you feel 17 again ! The bartenders are really friendly and fast, the drinks are good and very reasonable on prices, loved the music, can't wait to go back !!
