Game On in Columbia, MD
There is literally a concert venue in columbia that has been there since the 60s lol
and that was the only place until this year
Yeah and ticket prices are through the roof, Columbia needs affordable attractions for younger crowds. I’d rather go somewhere in Columbia than have to drive in Baltimore for a bar with a dance floor
this was my first thought too. Cost 4 dollars to play 1 full game of NFL Blitz Arcade.
Honestly I’ve never been, they’ve done a shit job marketing I don’t even know what or where it is. Nobody in Columbia advertises unless it’s politicians or Smallcakes
$60 ticket isn't exactly through the roof
Thats only open half the year lol
I went last Friday and it was hopping! Staff was friendly, hope it continues because it was actually something for my friends to go out and do in Columbia on a weekend night!
I walked by it last Friday too and it was PACKED! I went there about two months ago for my birthday and had a great time, the beer was good, the food was extremely mid but the wings were at least passable. The games were solid and the staff was AWESOME, one of the machines ate my coins and the staff member gave us a bunch of free credits + a bunch of extra tokens for the trouble. This is how you business!
Compare game and drink prices between here and crabtowne USA, GameOn is a ripoff
Compare the shithole that is Glen Burnie with newly constructed Merriweather District.
Not sure about the food but game prices were cheap. A lot of the games let us play for a while. We didnt eat food at the time.
Review:
Cool atmosphere. Had cartoons on instead of sports, and the menu options are sci-fi references. Great service, the drinks were good but a bit expensive. Games vary from $0.50 to $1.00. Great for a retro arcade enthusiast. I mostly stayed on the pinball machines because that's my jam, but they have a decent selection.
What about it?
Thought it was good . Wanted to share
its a cool spot, for sure. Just not "affordable/inexpensive" You definitely pay for the experience.
That wasn’t my goal of the post.
We went there on a night where you got double the tokens and that was pretty dope. It was probs a Wednesday or something like that.
We really enjoy it 😊
I love this place! In a town that only cares about parents and school-age children, Columbia desperately needed a place that caters to the 20-somethings.
