Such an amazing place to go!. We.met some friends here and booked tickets for 2 days to explore the 4 floors of.fun on offer. First impressions from outside were a bit mixed as it doesn't look like anything special with little to no advertising its presence, but once you walk in those unassuming doors... wow!! The floors are split into different themes from retro to modern, Japanese rhythm games to pinball tables and is far bigger than you'd expect. We took time to just look around on the first day and spent the second intensively gaming. Of special note.is the top floor, full of original arcade machines from Defender to Mortal Kombat, Centipede to Street Fighter Alpha. It was the biggest flood with the most machines and, although busy, there was always a machine or 5 available to play. The 3rd floor was pretty amazing with rhythm games and a separate room full of AstroCity machines and stools to sit on. In the main room were plenty of pinball tables and a Twitch area with PC's ready setup. Second floor held more modern machines including a very large Mission Impossible 5 setup which you stand at and play. Further in was a load of consoles including an Xbox ring and leather sofas for playing. There were a few Carnival Fair style ticket machines here too, all set to free play just for entertainment value Bottom floor has a mix of games but included a Pac Man Battle Royal alongside an old 4 player Warlords cocktail table. A couple of modern pinball machines and some fairground games rounded this off nicely. Everything is free to play and SIA doormen are on hand to assist with any trouble so feel confident in being safe. The licensed bars on each floor and the cafe at the top rounded this off perfectly and made this the best weekend holiday I've had in years

To the point, we like it here, we like it here a lot. The kids like it, the adults like it and for the price of a family ticket, its good very good value. They have some surprising good set ups, ie, big screen TVs for FIFA, Mario Kart etc. They have a "ring of XBox" set up for kids who cannot get enough Roblox/Minecraft at home, they have retro games for the adults on the top floor, eg, button smashers! They have some gems of a machines hiding across all the floors and I find myself getting addicted to some random machine that brings back floods of memories from yesteryear. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare as it is quite limited, it is a bit of luck if someone is leaving as you get there. We have been here several times before. In the summer and when its busy, it can get uncomfortably stuffy inside, particularly on the 4th floor. Sad as it sounds, you need to be dressed for it! There were a few rowdy kids around on our visit, but it is half term. They do have security going round, so they do have an eye on things. All in all a good half day trip for us

Absolutely loved our visit to Bury Arcade Club today. It was our friends sons birthday and what a great day it was. Ryan in particular was a pleasure to talk to and very friendly. The entry price was reasonable and the food was very nice and not expensive. We could sit in the cafe area and let the kids go play on the games with no worries. Would absolutely recommend.

Absolutely great time here! We went for my birthday early this year, and even though it was a Saturday (book weekends in advance as it’s gets full!) we still managed to play with everything we wanted to play, multiple times. Food prices are really reasonable, the wait being a little longer as it was a busy day, so that’s understandable. Can’t wait to get back soon when I have the chance!

Everything you want. But so much more Cant recommend enough. We spent 300 pounds with travel lodge( 1.8miles away) and drive from milton keynes ( friend came from littlehampton) so a lot of driving to manchester. It really must be best arcade in europe without doubt. Im 52 so i remember all the 80s games. It teally delivers. Old & new. And also has new machines.

I’ve been several times and it has always been great. Went again over Christmas period and decided it’s time to leave a 5-star review. The choice of games is huge. If like me you were a kid of the late 80s and early 90s you will love it. Practically every game you could name is available. But there’s far more than that. Pinball, Basketball ball games, pool tables, Modern releases, consoles and an assortment of Japanese oddities offer something for everyone. It wasn’t that busy yesterday (Friday 29th) compared to how it can be. As the earlier review mentioned , there was a wait for the food but at the end of the day it’s not a restaurant. The only recommendation I’d have is during school holidays I’d open an extra day (Wednesday) to take the ease off the number of families who attend during those weeks. But if you’re going purely to experience arcade games, both old and new, it’s excellent.

More games than you can imagine, we stayed here 5 hours and could have easily stayed longer. The food was really nice and very cheap. The toilets were clean and all the games were included in the price on entry. This was such a good day out, we travelled almost 3 hours to get there and would happily do it again.

Visited here as a family on Sunday with 2 kids, aged 6 and 8. It's easy to find and parking is round the back. Plenty of parking and entrance is also handily on this side too. There are 4 floors packed with various types and ages of arcade machines, modern games consoles and pinball machines. You really can spend all day here. We had a great time and I was worried it may be too busy but we weren't waiting around too long for a go on a machine. It did get really busy at 1-3pm and I would urge the owners not to spoil this place by letting too many walk in extras in once capacity is filled. My only other criticism is the cafe, it's difficult to get a table at peak times but I appreciate they don't have the capacity to expand this. Prices are very fair. We actually nipped out to KFC 5mins walk down the road. All in all a great day and the kids were gutted to leave. We will be back again.

Good food, drinks and games. Only negative is being told “no drinks on machines”, yet no tables to accommodate people drinking. Dont really fancy having my drink on the floor all night :) Please invest in tables if you are going to put this rule in place. Thankyou

Forgot to say yesterday. You cannot take your own food or drinks into the venues. However once you have paid the entrance fee you can exit whenever you want and return by showing staff your wrist band. Perfect if you want to know exactly how much your day out will cost as you can take a picnic! Possibly combine an arcade visit with a trip to the beach with your picnic!! Perfect if you need or want to budget your day out. If you decide to eat in the arcade the food is very reasonably priced. If you can please support the venue by eating at the arcade. Do Check before you travel as opening times can vary but from what I can tell they are open Thursday / Friday and all weekend. Do check yourself though,please
