Customer Reviews
Headquarters Beercade has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 4058 reviews on Google
Beware the hardcore pinball enthusiasts that frequent the place because the games are free---they can be aggressive and competitive. The pizza we got was really not great. Drinks are a bit pricey to compensate for the free games. But the games are fun and this is indeed the biggest free arcade in town and the drinks themselves aren't bad.
A very fun bar with an arcade. They have pinball machines and old arcade games from my younger days. You order your drinks/cocktails from the bar area. I had a blast here and would definitely go back. Its a fun atmosphere and we went early enough that it wasn't too busy yet
Its like a big arcade with over 100 pin ball machine and games, they have some good craft beer on tap. Games are free to play. Good looked good but didn't have any. Staff friendly
really chill spot filled with arcade games that are free. It wasn’t packed on a Saturday night which gave us space to try out a lot of the games that were there.
To go order paid on 11/9/25 at 7:20pm. Ordered a jalapeño burger & fries. Long black curly hair found in my fries. This is the second time it’s happened.
We have always loved this place because of the wide variety of arcade games that are all FREE to play. And, now we have even more special memories because of the top-notch service when we hosted a private party. Our hosts and servers were incredible. We did not have time to ask for anything, since it was as though they anticipated our every need. The food was delicious and the drink package was so worth it. I would highly recommend for any private event that you are hoping to be well-served and have a good time!
I rented out the entire space for my company's holiday party. It was completely decorated everywhere for the holidays, which made it very festive. I had not been to see the inside before booking this since I was managing remotely. Due to this I had a lot of questions and additions that the staff had no problem helping me with. Colleen and Lauren were absolutely incredible to work with for the event and for the day of. They made my life and job so much easier by giving me staff to help check-in, coordinate a dj and coat check, and everything else that I didn't have to source or manage myself. I felt very well taken care of through the whole process. I will absolutely consider hosting another holiday event or party at Headquarters Beercade. The employees loved the games and it meant there was something for everyone. Shoutout to the amazing staff that worked our event. Appreciate the hospitality and spirit you gave the team.
