This place is dope. Saw it online didn’t think much of it, but popped in as it was on our route. It’s very niche and cool, welli needs more spots like this. Not a rip of either just $2 a pop and games can last a decent while if you’re sweaty. Good place to kill time and the machines are very cool. If you’re rich you can buy them lol
Unexpectedly awesome! Found by coincidence and ended up staying far to long. Somehow this gem might be my highlight of Wellington! The owner seems to genuinely love what he does. He’s a top bloke who will accommodate and make your visit worth while. 10/10
There is such a great feel at this place. Back to old fashioned fun with a touch of nostalgia, for all of us who miss simpler times. The venue would be a great option for a reunion of friends, or company work do. The host is excellent, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. This is a valuable addition to Wellington’s entertainment scene.
First thing first, a big shout out to the owner of this great place. 👍 I did a amazing job. This place is where Retro Pinball meets the future of Pinball. I was so surprised 😮 with the beautiful interior design and the great atmosphere. The eye 👁 for detail and quality 👌 is of another level 👌 💯 👏. The choice of different arcade Pinball machines was for me impressive and I place a would really recommend to anyone who loves to play a game of Pinball. So I would share this experience with friends and family. Cheers
Love this place! Good prices and lots of fun, I hope they can stay in business. We went midday on a Monday and almost had the entire place to ourselves. The games are a lot of fun and easy to get a hang of. I'd recommend this place, great with friends.
