FAQ

Pixels is a retro arcade featuring over 40 arcade games, pinball machines & a multiplayer console gaming lounge, With the exception of a few premium pinball machines (which are an additional purchase) all of our other games are set to FreePlay (FreePlay = no quarters or tokens needed, just pay the admission first and you're all set!).

You can always enjoy a drink and play our board or card games, or catch the big game on TV, totally free.

Check our numerous weekly events on the Events page.

At Pixels Arcade Taproom we create a fun and immersive gaming experience that brings people together, old-school style. We feature a selection of local craft beers, wine & non-alcoholic beverages as well as brick-oven pizzas, burgers, salads, appetizers & other bites for your enjoyment.

YES! Some important things to consider:

* All-ages hours are from opening until 8 PM each day with one exception, Wednesday Night Family Night, where our under 21 guests can stay until closing (10 PM). Please note: children under the age of 12 require at least one parent or guardian.

* As we are a retro arcade we specialize in older arcade game titles, pinball, and more. Many of these machines are sensitive and some are over 40 years old. We encourage you to monitor your children and ask them to be kind and respectful to the games so that all may enjoy them.

* There are no diaper changing stations in Pixels.

* NO PETS. Service animals are permitted.

No. However, if you wish to consume alcoholic beverages, you MUST have a valid ID. Valid ID includes a valid state drivers license or identification card, military ID, or a valid passport or passport card. Photos of an ID on a phone are not acceptable, although the official DMV license app is valid. Please remember to have your physical ID on you!

Our arcade uses the "free play" model where you simply walk up to a game, press the start button, and begin playing. Choose One Hour for $12 Mon-Thur ($15 Fri-Sun) OR a Day Pass (no time limit) for $16 Mon-Thur ($19 Fri-Sun). This includes all the video games, our console gaming lounge and many of our pinball machines. See a list of games here. Please note that, while we do have a number of free to play pinball machines, we also have some premium machines which are additional purchase.

We offer a variety of items including brick oven pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers like buffalo wings, garlic fries, and more. We also have boxes of “movie theater” candy, chips and other snacks. Outside food is not permitted except for birthday cakes or cupcakes.

We offer a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at Pixels, with many craft beer options from local brewing houses Pond Farm, Original Pattern, Cooperage, Henhouse and more. We carry hard ciders and hard seltzers. We also serve a number of N/A options including coffee drinks, gourmet sodas, ginger beer, N/A beers like Athletic, Best Day, etc.

Best of all we have a SELF-POUR DRAFT SYSTEM where you can pour your own draft beer and cider! Simply obtain a special digital wristband from a host, which is linked to your tab, and begin pouring (a host will show you how). You pay only for what you pour; most pints fall between $7.50-9.00 depending on the beer or cider you select.

We’re glad you asked!

THURSDAY features OUT OF TOUCH KARAOKE (beginning Sept 10 from 7-9p).

The first FRIDAY of each month we hold a special costume/cosplay DJ party called FANTASY FRIDAYS (beginning Friday Sept 4). Check our Events page for the theme of the month! Fantasy Fridays are from 9-midnight. Rotating DJs will bring the sizzle; dig through your closet, get out that costume and come play Halloween with us every month! Pre-purchasing your ticket is highly recommended as space may be limited.

FRIDAYS and SUNDAYS we feature CONSOLE GAMING TOURNAMENTS for a number of different titles like Fortnite, Super Smash Bros, Tekken, etc. This takes place over two days, with a 21+ tournament held on Fridays and a Youth tournament (up to 21) held on Sundays (beginning Friday Sept 11 from 7-10p for 21+ and Sunday Sept 13 from 3-6p for Youth). See our Events page for the game title we will have a tournament for, for each given week. Tournament entry is a DayPass purchase plus $5.

We also frequently hold THEMED PARTIES so check our Events page for details on this.

So that we may make Pixels a pleasant experience for all guests, and to ensure that we do not max out our capacity limit, we can only rent up to two tables per party for a maximum total of 20 people per party (in other words, two tables of 10). As we need to ensure that we are properly staffed a final headcount must be provided at least 24 hours prior your party. Last minute additions of guests are not permitted. Any additional guests beyond the stated table size (ex: Table for 8) will be charged the standard admission rate for the party duration ($16 Mon-Thur, $19 Fri-Sun). Parties greater than 20 guests must arrange for a private event rental as we cannot support multiple table rentals. The number of table party guests includes the total guest count for that table type, regardless of whether the guest chooses to play games or not. Table rental parties are good for 2 hours total from time of entry (1 hour 45 minutes minutes of table rental time and 2 hours overall time in the arcade), as we often have other parties scheduled and must have time to clean the space for the next party. If you would like to rent a second table please indicate that in the notes during the checkout process, and we will charge you for that the day of the event. One exception to the above 2 hour policy: you may extend your party time by renting a second table after your first table rental. Finally, there are no limitations to a private event rental (i.e. renting the entire arcade); bear in mind our  maximum guest count is 60. Questions? Feel free to drop us a line.

If you must cancel your Table Rental or Private Event Rental we offer the following options:

1. You may move the reservation to a different day for no additional charge.

2. If moving the reservation to different day is not possible we require notification to pixelsarcadetaproom@gmail.com no less than 24 hours prior to an event for table rentals or 7 days prior to a private event rental (renting the entire arcade). Cancellations done within this time frame will receive a full refund. Cancellations not made within the above stated time frame will forfeit 20% of the purchase price of a Table Rental party package or the initial deposit of a Private Event Rental.
