For those looking something to do in Belfast that doesn’t include drinking, this is the place for you. Staff advised it will be fully open around freshers week. We’ve spent a couple hours in here this morning playing the arcade games , board games and it looks like a great place to hang out for a while.

Those photos look like they are using those sillly undersized Arcade1Up units instead of proper arcade machines? That’s a huge disappointment if so.
Me and my brother used to play street fighter in I think cocos in Newcastle, when we’d burn through our change we’d just start kicking fuck out of each other in the area in front of the machine, might see if cunts free, good times 😅
Saw this but had no idea it was free. I expected it to be £15 in or stupid food and drink prices. Hopefully they can keep it open since its run by Queens, cash flow shouldn’t be an issue.

Is Dragonslayers moving to here?
They got time crisis II with the guns
Is this a pay in and that’s it situation? Or does each machine need change?
are the pcs free to play on??
Looks great. I actually build arcade machines for a living and also maintain and repair original hardware from back in the day. All over the place recently working on some amount of machines all over Ireland. Retro gamer for life right here. Street Fighter 2 Alpha is my all time favourite arcade game with Pang being a close second.
Is that the one at the top of Elmwood where The Speakeasy was?
Was there last night very well priced had a big selection of games to play. Food is reasonable for what it is and it does not sell alcohol which i think is great as it means you can chat with your mates over a board game or cards.
Seems like it has alot of potential and I would encourage poeple to go there.
