I had a great time at Arcain in Liverpool. They have 3 floors of arcade, console and PC gaming also hockey and snooker table all free to play.
To get in the entrance of arcain you have to get inside the pub next door 🚪 and the entrance is just at the right where you first step inside the pub.
At first I couldn't find it but had to ask a staff inside the pub to point me to the entrance of arcains.
The entrance fee is £18 its worth the price as you get unlimited gaming fun.
The absolute best arcade I have ever been too! When we first went I was a bit took back by the entry price but when we quickly realised that pays for staying as long as you want and unlimited plays on any arcade machine, it was not a problem and deemed entry was well worth the price of admission!
Three floors filled to the brim of various old and new arcade games is an absolute treat and while some definitely show their age, such as Time Crisis 3 having burn in, it is still fun to play.
There are consoles and PC's also set up with a variety of games and option for LAN party games too.
Drinks are available on the second and third floor which is handy as it does get warm in there.

Great value for money at £18 entry compared to going to a typical arcade where it's £1-2 a game.
I'm not sure what the score is if your just taking a child in, but not playing the games yourself.
There were a few broken games that were signed as not working; some other games were damaged, and this prevented full enjoyment of the game, but it's easy enough to find something else to play.
Refreshments are available that cater to all age groups.
Cleanliness isn't the greatest, but it's by no means bad.
It's a great place to go for a bit of nostalgic gaming.
Took our son for his birthday, thought it was pricey at first but ended up spending 5 hours here so got our money's worth.
Food was top quality and really tasty, We had burgers, pizza and toasties, all very good and reasonably priced.
Loads of choices of arcade machines, consoles and PC's
We first visited last summer and made a return visit as we find it to be great value for money. Everything was working and the kids enjoyed playing on the new machines! Staff here are really friendly and provide a good service. Food was also spot on and well priced. Looking forward to next time!
Fantastic place. Friendly staff great place to start a night out. They have it spot on with the prices, entry fee then all games on free play.
Made the mistake of taking our youngest two as would have been better just adults.
Age 2 and 3 was too young really as you cant fully enjoy the gaming. Nonetheless a fantastic night out.
Will be revisiting soon.
A really cool and large gaming arcade with three floors of retro gaming with the top floor being the most surprising and amazing floor! We spent hours at this place and still did not manage to complete every game. It's definitely a must visit especially for the experience. This place is perfect for a birthday day out or party. We didn't have any drinks or snacks from here but can definitely say it's worth a visit even for just adults who want to game and try out the different arcade machines.
If you like video games and arcades you need to visit this place!Plenty of variety N64, dreamcast, PS4, mega drive, switch, etc it has so much to play with only an entrance fee. I really enjoyed it and the kids had hours of fun!
Great way to spend the day with the family. Four hours passed in a blink of an eye! ArCains has three floors of gaming, ranging from the much loved arcade games of the 80's and 90's to more modern versions. Also, the third floor has video console and PCs. Arcades also has a number of bars to buy refreshments and a café for food. We really enjoyed our day there and would definitely go back.
Took the kids yesterday for my daughter's 13th birthday and they had the best time! Honestly the best games arcade we've ever been to. I walk with a stick (39 with legs that act like they're 100 🙄) so the stairs were a bit of a struggle, but even that couldn't dampen the fun we had. Each of the 3 floors has loads to do and kept everyone entertained for hours- I loved the Simpsons game, which took me right back to my childhood :)Soft drinks were decently priced (no idea on alcohol prices). All the staff were so lovely and helpful, one even offered to help me carry drinks if I needed assistance. Noise level wasn't bad at all either- youngest child (8) uses ear defenders due to sound sensory issues and he only had to pop them on once or twice which was fantastic. All in all, we'd 100% recommend going and will definitely be back, thought it was fantastic for the entry price too :) Thank you so much for a fabulous day.
