Enjoyed hours of playing retro games, I was like a little kid at Xmas time. Sat in the bar area to take a few minutes off and ordered a drink or two, the staff were very friendly & the entry price was value for money. My next visit to Blackpool i will definitely be calling back to the arcade club, absolutely loved it.
Good fun, lots of classic machines and new ones to try. Food is good and reasonable prices. A fun way to spend an afternoon or evening with friends or family.
Oh what a joy this place is! If, like me, you find modern arcades chock full of grabbers and gamblers then this is for you. I loved the trip back to my youth with the rows and rows of vintage machines - Turtles, Simpsons and R-Type in particular - and will be going back there ASAP. Highly recommend this heady hit of nostalgic feels. What a find!
Wow what a find; have not stopped telling people about this place since we visited. One price; all machines free! Also there is a room full of games consoles (Xbox, PlayStation). Like a casino for kids; we entered in the daylight and left in the dark. As long as you keep your wristband on you can come and go all day!
We all loved it here and can't wait to go back. A reasonably priced day out too. No food or drink is allowed to be brought into the building but there's a bar\cafe that sells food and drinks that don't break the bank and are tasty too. Parking is free too. It's pretty loud if you're sensitive to noise so maybe bring some ear plugs.

I went to Arcade Club in Blackpool a couple of weeks ago and the place is really good and has alot of arcades from the 80s to the 90s games such as the classic pacman, street fighter 2 and also Japanese arcade machines also it has console and PC gaming. I've been to Bury and Leeds arcade club before and this arcade club in Blackpool is the smallest one out of the 3 much less arcades compare to the one in Bury and Leeds. The other good thing is it has its own family restaurant area good for a family day out.

The entry fee is £16.
£1 cheaper than the one in Bury and Leeds. Smaller and less arcades compare the one in Bury.

Good experience and you can stay as long as you want until it closes.
Blown away by this place. After having heard good things and seen lots of advertising on social media and on banners into Blackpool I thought it was time to bring our 12 year old daughter who is mad into games. From seeing the info on the website, the imagery online and the ease of access to all info required I felt stress free coming down. From a business owner myself, I can see a lot of work has been done creating a polished product that’s consistent from the initial look of the brand down to the actual physical business itself!

Plenty of parking when you arrived and well marked out. The team on the front desk were friendly and enthusiastic (Andy I think he was called). The pricing is spot on for something like this encouraging you to get a monthly pass. The sheer amount and variety of games on offer was incredible. After 3 hours we still hadn’t got through half of what was available. I was loving the classics from my childhood like house of the dead and golden ace whilst my daughter was enjoying the rhythm games that were really modern.

I have to admit the attention to detail right the way through really impressed me. The pictures on the wall, the decoration, names of some of the pizzas, even the toilet seats had video games on them.

Can’t fault anything apart from not being as good as I used to be at some of the games but that’s down to me. We’ll be back!
What a truly excellent place.
Second visit in as many years.
My old self and my 13 year old daughter had a whale of a time.
Can't believe I got to play Super Sprint and Gauntlet oh oh oh and Golden Axe and Time Crisis 2 again, all on F2P.

The food is very reasonably priced and good quality and theres a bar! (I'm Scottish what do want?)

Told the bar dude they need to get that Brew Dog arcade made stuff in 😂😂

Seriously though, don't hesitate. Just go.
It's the doggies danglies!!

See you as soon as I can be back.

(I won 2 pints I'll be back)
