A large selection of cabinets and in excellent condition, it's difficult to believe that some of them are more than forty years old. All controls are clean and fully functional, and there are lots of different game types. Food is excellent quality and very well priced and the restaurant area is clean and well maintained. are really and helpful. Parking is free for users, just register your numberplate at reception. I travelled from Kent to this and wasn't disappointed. Club are the best arcades I've ever visited. Adults and loved it. So many different games. 4 year old loved air hockey, basket ball, dance machine, bowling game and older child loved the Xbox room and driving simulators. Loads of nostagia and classics for adults. Also not to be ignored was the food. Super cheap, super tasty! were all great. Absolutely brilliant. We took ages 16 -10 and all had a time. Food was very nice, pizza, chips, burgers and not over priced. were and were really fun Really - full of from 80s and 90s that I enjoyed when I was a kid - finally completed Aliens with unlimited credits!! Plenty of more modern too, plus Xbox, PS4 and 5, PC stations. Food looked good, and a small selection of Brewdog on draft is fairly unusual for the area - bonus. Well worth a we'll worth the money. There are plenty of old favourites to with a cafe and a well stocked bar. The chilli was very spicy and not for children. Brilliant retro fun for and adults alike. Food is also and reasonably priced 👍 We visited Blackpool last week as a family travelling with two teenagers. As a result, we spent a lot of and a lot of money in the evenings in the arcades along the Promenade. I wanted to try something different and found this hidden gem slightly off the beaten track. I would urge anyone in a similar situation to this - let me tell you why: 🤩 The single biggest difference from every other is that you pay on entry to the attraction. Thereafter, everything (apart from food and drink) is free. 🤩 There is no hidden cost. We never encountered any that weren't free to play. 🤩 A family of two adults and two cost £40. 🤩 There is an option for anyone not choosing to - an admission fee of £6. 🤩 The is open daily from 11am to 11pm - you can for as long as you like. 🤩 The is very secure, with one entrance, allowing older a little more freedom to explore. 🤩 The is huge, with three floors of from every era. 🤩 The has a cafeteria and resteraunt on site. It also sells a limited range of alcohol. 🤩 The are pleasant, with a reassuring security presence. 🤩 The is immaculately clean, well thought out, and the amenities are all accessible. 🤩 There is plenty of nearby parking, ♿ and disabled parking. 🤩 ♿ The entrance is Accessible and there is an internal lift for disabled customers. 🤩 This attraction was not busy at all, with no wait for any of the games. 🤩 🎮 For families with GAMERS, this is the perfect destination. This has a dedicated separate area for PC games, PS5, and Xbox. 🤩 The attraction was atmospheric, full of surprises, and very entertaining for all ages. We spent a few hours here, my gamer son was especially reluctant to leave! This has earned a place on my Top 10 attractions to with older children in Blackpool. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Came 2nd in the Space Invaders competition! 🥈👾 Bagged a silver medal and a cheeky double vodka & coke — not a day/night at all! Thanks for the members are very nice and a place to see in Blackpool without the hustle and bustle. The food here is reasonably priced. Food area is very family oriented and not to mention you can relax on the big oval tables. I really liked the pizzas and lovely latte’s . Nice hot chocolates. It’s not as big as Bury complex but gives you more relaxation to watch and chill when you need it. Absolutely fantastic, loved it here. The selection of were great! was nice and friendly, even managed to get a nice latte and a slice of cake for £5. What a fantastic place to take the pay entry price and all the machines and are free to plus the 8 bit food place is really value too drinks are reasonable aswell you can have a beer n chat to other patents while the have a mint best place on the fylde coast to welcoming a safe to let the have there gaming Had an excellent family day out here. Such value for money as all of the machines are free to once you've paid admission. We were there for about 5 hours. Food and drink is also very cheap with pizzas and burgers being between £3 and £5. cans of pop and some cakes only £1! There is nowhere else in Blackpool where you can get 6-7 hours of entertainment for £32 for one adult and 2 kids. Absolutely fantastic value for money and the range of is excellent. All the classics from the 80s to modern console gaming, and the pinball machines are the final touch of awesome. The are so and helpful. Food and drinks are cheap and quality. Best times to go are the evening sessions. Saturday 5pm til 11pm, by 9 o’clock you basically have the place to yourself. Love, love, love this place. I hope it stays open for good. Brilliant spot to spend a few hours. Good value, being able to keep playing the arcade's as long as you want. They have all the old classic games. Also a fully licensed bar and a restaurant. This place is pretty much heaven. Have just visited for the first but no doubt will be visiting again very soon. The whole look and feel is just spot on and if you remember halls and bowling alleys back in the day you'll feel right at home. Playing on a cabinet with all the sounds and flashing lights going on all around you is just the perfect experience for these - playing them how they were meant to be played! A huge amount to choose from and the manager is really too. I hope this place is here forever, just brilliant...5* Quite simply the best retro in the UK that I've been to. An amazing range of cabinets from older classics to more modern games. I knew it was something special when I sat down to have my (very tasty) burger, looked over and saw Ketsui running a short distance from me. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in gaming. I'm so glad places like this exist. As a child I would a lot of these on Blackpool Pier but they have now sadly disappeared. That there are people willing to spend the and effort to keep these machines in working order is really admirable. The cost of entry is very reasonable and they do some food as well. Best day out in a long selection of to for the entrance price but couldn't stay there all night as i got tired of playing the same after 3 hrs This is such a hidden gem, cost my family of 5 just over £40 And we could have easily stayed there all day and played on all the retro and some of the newer Japanese ones too. Was so much fun. We ate at the restaurant inside and it wasn't that expensive either and they do have a menu aswell. Exciting, nostalgic and fun What a brilliant idea !!! we absolutely love The Club, simply pay an admission fee, stay as long as you want on the day/evening, come and go as you please, all are free once admission paid! Hot and cold Food, snacks and refreshments, bar, seating area and toilets are available. There are lots of to choose from and play! I was spoilt for choice, my lads enjoyed it so much they visited more than once whilst we visited Blackpool. Huge variety of to choose from, riding, driving, shooting, dancing, musical, multi player, pinball, puzzles, lots of machines, very impressed with this set up. We will be back. The are all really and helpful too:) thank you for making our exciting, nostalgic and fun 😊 atmosphere, all so and inclusive. There was a gaming competition on for both adults and kids, off to one side of the restaurant if people wanted to participate. Definitely value for money vs paying separately for everything. This is really nice both the building and the atmosphere quality of to play, were really helpful and and was a comfortable place to be. Amazing value for a whole day's entertainment, bar and small cafe/restaurant, free parking, amazing amusements/games. Everything in one building, we go as often as possible. The club is really fun, concept and a huge variety of games! are friendly! The food however is a different story. Cheap catering burgers, frozen, cooked and reheated (they were extremely hard), the ‘pizza fries’ were missing one of the toppings we asked for and the ‘pizza sauce’ was just passata out of a jar, not marinara sauce, it was overly tangy with no seasoning to balance it out. Cheap ingredients and all cooked from frozen. Very disappointing as if you’re heading for an afternoon out I’d likely attend the club again but I’d definitely head somewhere else for food. So cool all the enjoyed our we had food which was really nice and well priced definitely worth a for anyone that loves the arcades 🎮 pay once made it so much more enjoyable will definitely be back. selection of classics. The first thing you think to yourself when you walk up the stairs is oh my god where do I start! We only managed to get there with 4 hours left before closing but they had to kick us out at 8PM closing time! They have an amazing selection of such as Pong, Donkey Kong, The Simpsons, Crisis 2, Daytona USA, Outrun, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat the list goes on and on. They even have modern machines imported from Japan. I would say in the 4 hours I was there I managed to 75% of the and I didn't really spend longer than 10 minutes on any game in order to as many as possible. If you went in at opening you could really take your and get the most out of your visit. I would say about 95% of the machines were fully working. The 5% that weren't ranged from not switched on to the controls feeling a bit worn out. I don't say this to complain as I think having 95% of these old running at one is an impressive achievement. The food was reasonably priced and was pretty decent. It is the greatest I have ever visited in my life by a country mile. If my 10 year old self would have seen club I wouldn't believe my eyes. I really want to the other two branches and I also have a craving for a CRT TV now. 10 out of 10 experience for anyone who likes games. Amazing! Lovely clean venue, second we've been to an club, went to the one in Bury and now Blackpool, this one was smaller in comparison but an all around better building, it was still amazing altogether, lovely staff, answered my enquiries about the amazing canvases and paintings they have on the walls and sold us a beautiful borderlands painting right off the wall at a decent price, definitely worth the value for money, massive thanks to the girls and bloke on reception at the including the security guard and the manager of the establishment, massive credit to the club team, will return again <3 The is a real trip down memory lane. Most machines were working with a few out of order or damaged, but over all the were amazing. We were there hours. The Restaurant was disappointing. They seemed to be having issues all round. Specifically with our food they announced the name of the burger that my son ordered and he politely said it was his whilst I grabbed his sister. When I came back he was two bites in when we realised it was mine, spicy and cheesy. My son is not with spice and is lactose intolerant (my son is also on the spectrum and always quashes his burgers). The reissued my burger fresh but when I received it the burger was hot in the outside and cold in the middle and the chips were hot but hard, like they had been refried due to getting cold, but by this everyone had eaten their food so I didn't bother the again and I was hungry. Like I said, they had many issues today and I was not the only complaint about cold food or wrong orders. If we come again we won't eat there. The Bar, overall prices but was a bit shocked when I ordered a wine, that came in the small bottle I was asked if I wanted a glass with that.. lol.. I'm not really in the habit of necking it out the bottle and the glass handed was wet, hot, steamy, and not rinced properly so after the resterant my expectations were lowered and I just paid and went away. Just assumed if a person orders wine we would need a glass 😊 I would have given full stars if it was just the alone. All your favourite classics are here, along with some gems like Blazing Angels cabinet. It's less crowded than the Bury arcade, and bar/restaurant area is great, with superb pizzas. Every machine was in working order on my visit, which must be a challenge. Top afternoon out, highly recommended.
