With a name like GameWorks you’d think this is just another large arcade center but you’d be surprised that dumping quarters in a machine isn’t the only activity in the area. Just like Chuck E. Cheese’s back in the day, there is a restaurant area and there are numerous events for you to avail of. Consider some of the following listed below:
Eat and Drink
Just like the aforementioned Chuck E. Cheese’s, GameWorks has a large area for food and drinks. The food they offer is relatively affordable, especially if you’re coming in as a large group. You’ll find affordable pizzas, chicken wings, French fries, chicken tenders, egg rolls, burgers and all sorts of salads.
Bar
Believe it or not but there is a bar as well. They are a little strict to ensure they don’t accidentally hand out beer to minors and they also monitor the guests to ensure an adult doesn’t give a minor anything either. Still, for the adults this is a perfect way of getting a little wasted before spending time on the arcades. It makes for a very interesting match of Street Fighter IV.
Neon Bowling Lounge
Video games aren’t the only activities here. There are laser gun arenas and basketball rings but the best choice for a group is to play at the neon bowling lounge, which comes with a large video screen and a good selection of music. Food and drinks are also served at the lounge.
E-Gaming Tournaments
If you’re one of the best in a particular game then GameWorks is the place to go because the establishments do hold regular e-gaming tournaments. These could range from simple high score competitions for the more arcade titles like Dance Dance Revolution or Beatmania to full-on tournaments for Leagues of Legends, Tekken and more.
Rebates and discounts
There are multiple ways to get discounts, free drinks, and even cash-back promos. This particularly counts for large groups that come in at once so if you’re planning a group outing for your class or family then this is the place to pick since you will get your money’s worth and then some.
Overall, you can’t expect fine dining at GameWorks but if you’re looking for an affordable, satisfying and fun place for a large group of people then you can’t go wrong here. The game selection is wide and varied, the food hits all the right corners and there are more than just video games to keep you busy.
