The area
Address
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.

- Angela A16 contributionsDrinks and games!What a hidden gem in Prague! We only knew about this bar due to Honest Guides on YouTube and we're so glad we went. There are a good range of drinks, we had beers and cocktails, for a good price. There are a good range of arcade games, most are 10czk and there is a machine to change notes into coins so you can play. There are coat hangers and lots of tables so you can relax in between games. We loved it here!Visited March 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten March 14, 2023
- Vivienne RLondon, United Kingdom58 contributionsAn awesome experience for pinball fans!We’re huge pinball fans from the UK with a keen interest in playing and repairing machines, who came on a couples’ break to Prague. Finding the Joystick Arcade Bar was a delight as it has a great selection of pinball machines, including some more rarely-seen titles, for about 20kr (70p) a game. The bar itself has an edgy underground vibe with retro arcade graffiti. A limited selection of beer and slightly more expensive than other places, but - as this is Prague - the beer is good.Visited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten August 30, 2023
- BacardiMan66Marple, United Kingdom386 contributionsGreat fun with quality cheap beerSpent around 90mins here playing all the pinball machines which were from the late 90s early 2000. Cost was about 35p a go. Beer was about 2 quid a pint. Cash only. It does look a bit seedy at night going down the alleyway, but I felt very safe (as I did all over prague). Yes, the toilets are not good, but not all places are perfect. Worth a visitVisited August 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 2, 2023

We looked for something to do on an evening somewhere close and found this bar. It has a very nice concept. It was cool going back in time and playing with all the old arcade games from our childhood. It has a very good vibe to it, I would recommend anyone who's looking for a bar in Prague to go by this one.

this place is the just great place to hang out, have some good local beers for not tourist prices but most importantly playing all of the arcade games is too much fun ! Its not only about your childhood memmories (Mortal Kombat or Baywatch themed machines) but also for super competitive and goofy playing the car races, you can go crazy ! So once you are super fed up with all the touristy crowded places or pubs where they try to rip off every tourist, get here and have some time for yourself with tons of fun !

Good selection of arcade games would be nice to see a few more greats though.
Good atmosphere and service. Bring lots of change if you want to play the games. They’re cheap but coins are a must.
Good beer too!

A little difficult to find, in a mall and down a stairwell, it’s a really fun little bar. Lots of vintage arcade machines, including Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat and Time Crisis. Hours of fun, we went back for a second evening after enjoying our first trip so much. Drinks aren’t overpriced and reasonable selection.

The place is a bit hidden from the main street along in an alley. However, as soon as you reach it will be a place where you would go around and see video games and tell yourself 'oh my gosh, I played that when I was younger or so'.
It's a bar so mostly all drinks no snacks.
Nice place to hang out for some fun with friends. One time visit.

Tricky to find, this bar was a great place to stop for an hour for a giggle and a pint. Hidden in a shopping center it seems strange walking down a corridor of closed shops with only a old security guard around to then go down some steel steps into the dark. At this point my wife even said "I don't like how this feels" but that all changes at the bottom of those same steps.
Arcade gold awaits - Scud racer, Time Cop, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, pin ball machines, dance machines, ps2 and wii-u consoles and more PLUS a bar with "locals pricing". (Prague tends to have "locals" bar prices and "tourists" bar prices, this is the cheaper option).
If you're on a stag-do, a boozy weekend or just a tourist - this place is worth a look, just don't turn back at the top of the stairs.

If you like arcade games and/or pinball this is the place for you!
Great selection of classic games, at only 10czk per play.
Staff was friendly, and the beer good.
Only negative is that they do not take credit/debit cards, cash only.

I mean seriously. Great beer, drinks and humongous selection of flippers and arcades. Go on have a go and try to trash our Popeye score!

Nice and friendly bar, hidden in the city center. Very good beer, colorful selection of arcade games and pinball machines, frequent events like pub quizzes and Mario Kart or pinball tournaments. Family and dog-friendly. Great place to hang out with friends, even better to play the games with them. Awesome way to get rid of all your change. One of a kind experience.

Hi, children are welcome! We are non-smoking bar, opening at 4PM, you can find some games for free there and we have a good selection of non-alcoholic lemonades ;-) Nearest metro station is Mustek, exit to Jindřišská street. Then find a yellow sign that reads "Jindřišská pasáž" and we are in the back of the pasage. Patrik
