B.R.I. Taproom & Arcade

Video game bar. That's all you need to know. Bartender was friendly and fun and we had a great time drinking different beers and playing pinball. There is a machine to get quarters for games. No food but plenty of choices nearby. A great DJ Sid Riddle was there today. If you are looking for arcade games and beer this is your spot.

Went on date night there We both had a drink n played games Was a nice vibe n enjoyed it 1.00 per game play

Such a fun spot to meet up with friends or make new friends. You've got your pinball, arcade games, and a bar. You'll see people socializing, drinking great beers, and busting some new high scores. It's a nice spot to let loose and just enjoy yourself. Would come back for sure. Games run on quarters. Closed Mondays. Now with great televisions setup.

Great place on Main Street in Mesa. They have a great variety of beers (and they're not all IPAs for once). Tons of old pinball and arcade games. Kid and adult friendly but kids need to be out by 7 pm. 80s music like The Cure playing the whole time. What could be better?

Great place for a date night or just to hang out. They don't serve food, but encourage you to patronize the restaurants nearby and allow you to bring it in. The pinball machines are $1 and the other games cost a quarter. We come every week! Thanks for coming to Mesa!

Such a great place to come and play a great variety of the games from our youth. Started off with pairing a Mango Fox trot Cider Corps cider with pretzels we brought with us from down the street at The Salted Knot. Then we played loads of games on the Black Knight pinball game. Such a fun afternoon! Would totally recommend!

Not what it once was… you will find a cool pinball/arcade spot, but what used to be the real Beer Research Institute is gone… 1 beer left on tap from the brewery as of today 9/17. All other beers from outside the staple. No longer offering their own beers (48 OG, boom box, etc). If you’re looking for an arcade spot, still good for that. If you are looking for local specific unique brews, not that great. There are 2-3 better places right down the street for that.
