Huge selection of ciders, wines, and other drinks. We got a Margherita Pizza and it was fantastic. Lots of options for games both new and classic, this is a good time for the family. They also have adults-only time during the evenings which is great for those without children or wanting some time with friends.

What an awesome place! We grabbed a couple of pizzas and the unlimited sodas (which were cheaper when prepaid online). We had a great time playing all the different games. Most machines were pretty well-maintained. The air conditioning is on full blast, so it was a perfect way to get out of the summer heat. We visited on a Wednesday, and it wasn't too crowded for most of our visit. We decided to leave once a large group of corporate networkers AND a large group of elementary-aged summer campers came in. My only two cents: Limit the number of large-group reservations so individuals can still enjoy themselves! :)

Fun arcade with a variety of games. Our group was obsessed with playing Killer Queen. I didn't try any of the ciders, but their thin artisan pizzas are yummy. Air conditioning is on full blast, so bring a sweater! It also gets pretty loud inside, but they have seats outside overlooking the river, which are perfect for taking a relaxing break. The parking lot is pretty big and we had no issues finding a spot on a Saturday evening.

Perfect indoor activity for a rainy day or a date (or both)! We came on a Monday night and there was still a good amount of people. It was $12 per person after 8pm and you get a wristband so you can walk in and out. Fun options for games - skeeball, mini basketball, guitar hero, arcade games, hockey pool, pinball. The retro/vintage vibe is always fun! A few of the games were down/not working well but the majority of them worked perfectly fine. There are tons of tables for seating and dining if you choose to do so, and in the outdoors area as well. You can see a view of the boardwalk and river from the back patio. Huge parking lot in the front! Walkable distance to the entrance to the Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk, which would be a fun addition to do before or after.

Unlimited play on 150 games for $12? What's not to like? (except "the 'gourmet' pizza that looked like it was on tortillas and it was an insult to my eyes", according to my wife). A great place for the family, co-workers, friends, or date night. I actually did all four, arriving with my wife and my co-worker friend and her family. Some awesome things they do: they offer $20 for the month. they offer 21+ only at 8pm. they offer select-your-own flights of ciders they have tables for drinks near some games. What I hated (and worth a star deduction): the air hockey, skeeball, and basketball hoops don't keep score. How can I rub it in the faces of those around me I'm the golden god, a five star man, better than everyone, that I'm smart (you're dumb), I'm big (you're little), I'm right (you're wrong), without proper scorekeeping? my personal notes on games: 1. I got high score in Frogger and Super Mario Bros. (look for nez) 2. The games I missed most: crazy climber, pac-land, major havoc, mario tennis, arkanoid, and star wars, plus pinball games like metallica, xenon, space invaders, high speed. It has a great under used patio with river views. they nailed the drinking and playing part- I think they should focus on making it a food destination so people stay for lunch or dinner, but use the patio, like a make-your-own pizza with a monitored wood oven, or cook your own burger, with bocce ball courts or even a dog park and a waterslide and a small Target. as of 4/24: 10-yard fight, 1943, aero fighters, after burner, alien covenant, alien syndrome, altered beast, area 51 maximum force, bad dudes, batman racer, berzerk, big buck world, blades of steel, bubbles, capcom vs snk, centipede, cowboys of moo mesa, crazy taxi, crime fighters, cruisin' blast, dance revolution, dark silhouette silent scope 2, death ball, defender, die hard arcade, domescreen dogfight mach storm, domino man, donkey kong, donkey kong 3, donkey kong jr., dragon spirit, galaga, ghost busters, ghosts n' goblins, gorf, gravitar, guitar hero, hammerin harry, heavy barrel, in the groove, indiana jones, invasion, jack the giant killer, joust, jubeat, jurassic park raw thrills, kick-man, killer queen, instinct k1/k2, klax, kung-fu master, last duel, mai-mai, mappy, mario bros., megaman, mini golf (arcade game), missile command, mortal kombat 3 ultimate, mr. do, mr. driller, ms. pac-man, naughty boy, p.o.w., pac-man battle royale, pengo, point blank 2, police trainer, popeye, punch-out, the punisher, q* bert, r-type, reactor, robocop, robotron, road runner, snow bros, sonic the hedgehog, soul calibur iii, sound voltex, splat, stargate, star wars return of the jedi, street fighter 2, street fighter alpha 3, sunset riders, super zaxxon, tapper, tetris, tekken 5, terminator salvation, time crisis 5, tron, two tigers, v'ball, virtua tennis, vs excitebike, wacca, war: final assault, world series '99, x-men, and zero gunner, plus pinball: avengers: infinity quest, batman, deadpool, godzilla, guns n' roses, jurassic park, kiss, led zeppelin, mandalorian le, monster bash, nascar, ninja turtles, rush, star trek, and stranger things which goes up to 11.

As a cider girly, this was my heaven. No beer/liquor/mixed drinks of any kind. I been to the one in Houston and some if the games are different so it's great that you can learn of different games at each location. We were hanging here until we could get ready for out concert so we spent a comfortable amount of time here. You can taste samples of the flavors which is cool. A try before you buy. This company is exclusively the Bishop Ciders, the company is based in Dallas and the bartender told me they rotate flavors so you aren't bored in taste if you frequent enough. During the day, children are welcome but after 8, adults only! So if you want a more adult atmosphere, come in later or you want your kiddos to have fun, you have the entire day. I hope they bring this in San Antonio. Otherwise, I'll just get my fix by visiting Austin.

This place was my dream bar come true. I a man of simple tastes and ciders and video games are my go to. I'm from Minneapolis, where we have a similar bar/arcade called UpDown so getting to come stop by Cidercade was a very anticipating event of our trip to Austin. The price is right as they say. A small base price just to get in the door, then having 24 different ciders on tap. I couldn't ask for much more. We didn't try the food but definitely tried about half of the ciders. The view from their outdoor area is very stunning with the water and city in the background makes for a relaxing space. As for the games! Holy cow did I get smacked with my childhood all at once. The games are free so once you're in, you're in. I swear I tried to play practically every game I saw. From new to old there's something for everyone. If I heard correctly, it sounds like they ask children to leave around the 8/9 hour? So it would be a great spot for a date night (if I lived in Austin). Thank you cidercade for all the fun! I look forward to another trip south so I can stop by!

Ok, I had fun! Came here for a work thing and I had a really good time. When coming in you have to pay at the door $10 but it's unlimited playing! You pay for any food you want and ciders as well, there is no liquor. We had 3 pizzas, one size thin crust only, and it's about a medium size. They also have wings. As far as ciders, they have sooo many options! I had a Fruit Blast cider and it's about 8% alcohol. I picked this one since it was more hoppy. The pizzas we had were a margarita pizza, Hawaiian, and meat lovers. All very delicious with a melty cheese pull. They had numerous arcade games, pinball machines as well as air hockey, guitar hero and basketball shoots. The VIEWS! This place has outside seating and some tables with swings for seats, so fun! The views are of the city and the new walking bridge alongside lady bird lake. The staff was there for anything you needed and very knowledgeable of the cider selections, so many options can feel overwhelming but they helped by giving samples. I'm eagerly awaiting my next time back!
