Reboot Arcade & Bar

⭐️5/5 drink variety and prices. ⭐️5/5 staff was VERY NICE but wish there was one more to help out that night ⭐️3/5 bout 70% of the games were working. Witch isnt bad ,hope more work next time . I've been a local for years, and Reboot has always been one of my favorite places to hang out with friends or my significant other. As someone who loves retro arcade games and pinball more than drinking, it's always been a great spot. On my visit a couple of nights ago, I was excited to see what looked like a new area and an updated payment system. Unfortunately, quite a few games were out of order. Only a handful of the pinball machines were working, and the basketball and skee-ball games also seemed to be down. I know these machines require a lot of maintenance, so I understand, but it was still disappointing. The arcade also felt a little messy and sticky in a few places, though it looked like there was only one employee working, so I don't blame them for not being able to keep up with everything. The drinks were still fairly priced, and I love the rotating selection. I'll definitely be back because I've always enjoyed Reboot. I just hope to see more of the games up and running next t

Definitely one of the coolest bars around. If you like playing pinball and arcade games while drinking in a cool atmosphere, this is the spot for you. They have some of the most current pinball tables out right now. Perfect for parties or date night.

I’ve seen many versions of Reboot over the years, and it remains an amazing place. I remember my first time walking into the building, so many years ago. I probably texted 50+ pictures to every person in my contacts list, raving about how cool this place was. The neon lights, the consoles everywhere. The fact that instead of sports on all of the TVs, I was looking at video games being played in real-time by all of the people in the room around me. It was amazing. Do I disagree with the recent more accessible, mainstream direction of the bar? Sure... but it is technically a barcade and not just my personal nerdy hangout 😂😂😂. Several things remain true from my very biased opinion... (one that still misses the "island" of classic gaming consoles, the VR room, and the formerly planned VR/AR expansion area.) 1. Ambiance: This place is beautiful. I’ve been to quite a number of barcades, and finding anything else like this in Tampa Bay is simply not possible. There is a level of pride and nerdiness that exudes from the building; it screams "this place feels like home" whenever I walk through the door. 2. Friendliness: The staff, through all its variations, has always been great. From t

I’ve been going to Reboot for the better part of the last 3 years since moving to the area. I can say without a doubt that the staff at this place is top notch, friendly and treat you like family; and the owners are truly great people!that I would call friends . They always have new games coming in and out. Their drink selection is amazing and rotates as well.

I’ve been coming to reboot for almost 3 years now and I have nothing but good memories and things to say about this barcade, they have more pinball machines then what you see in my picture, literally ANY game you want to play even group ones like Mario kart or Mario party can be played here, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff is always friendly and accommodating and definitely do NOT ignore you, I’ve never had to wait more then 5 mins to get a drink at the bar! In conclusion I love reboot and tell anyone and everyone I know about this wonderful place Oh yeah ANDDDD the bathrooms are always super clean and well stocked..that’s hard to find in bars most days
