      This place was absolutely awesome.

      When we arrived, the games were all free- and they were insanely fun and beautiful! There are a ton of games to choose from and we pretty much could play any without having to wait. A lot of multiplayer too which is fun with friends.

      Eventually there was a live coding show where someone was changing the lighting and other properties of the projected screen on stage.so cool!

      Eventually there was live music that you had to pay for, and my group was heading out soon so we decided not to attend. They had everyone leave the gaming area and chill by the bar who was not paying for a ticket to the show- I think the tickets were 10$ and if I had the time I would've totally stayed.

      There were also some games in the bar area that were fun.

      The place itself is sick, the people are kind and welcoming, and the drinks were fun.

      Will 100% go back if I'm in the area- in fact, I would make the hour commute just for this place.

      This place was so cool! I'm used to arcades like this having a super nerdy theme -- which I saw a lot of. But it was that nerd vibe combined with grunge which I wasn't expecting! There's plenty to do -- there's a bar, a back patio area, and plenty of unfamiliar (to me) games to play. There's a big separate room with plenty of cabinets, but they were also somewhat scattered about. The cabinet room also had a stage where a DJ was setting up, and I hear bands play there too.

      Some of the games I played included Hair Nah, Dye Breaker, KungFu Kickball and Armed & Gelatinous -- my sister kicked my butt BAD in that last one. Hair Nah is definitely making a statement, and with the motion controls, it might be triggering for some, but it's SO educational. Dye Breaker & KungFu Kickball were my favorites, and the latter is apparently on Switch.

      The bar is also fully stocked -- and if you aren't drinking, there's a self-serve water station at the end of it. I really enjoyed myself at this arcade bar, and I was SHOCKED that all the games are free. With places like that there's usually at least a cover. Amazing that these indie developers all get exposure through this awesome venue. I'm eager to return some time!

      Alberto asked me to come here as it has a music stage and there is live music frequently, there are also Arcade games to play.

      Alberto makes the best drinks to accommodate all likes. I enjoyed the Super Shirley 64 so much, that I shared the pic and info. with my close ones right away, is a must do. Soft drink and left me wanting to go back for more. He can also make different drinks for those who like a more strong and less fruity taste. Worth to try it for a local fun night out.

      Love the vibes here, everyone's super chill and fun to play an arcade game with. There's Dj's and games you can play like Mario kart on a projector. (Depending on the day ofc) the bartenders are attentive despite having a lot of people on them.
      This is my new go to bar! I come here for the games, the music, the vibes, everything.

      I only ordered a beer here in the ~1 hour I was here, so my experience is limited. Being at this bar with my not-very-tasty-too-sour-and-not-cold-enough beer and the weird lights and the not-my-style-music accompanied by a poor-social-skills-having-rude-elderly-adjacent-looking-but-only-30-something-years-old man I was sitting next to who was trying to talk my head off while ogling every breathing being nearby left me with no choice.

      I paid, left the beer mostly full, went home around 9:00pm, worked remotely for a bit, got ready for bed, and went to sleep promptly before 11:00pm.

      Wonderville was the best! The games were so cool and our bartender Roberto was super nice and friendly. Perfect place that's SO worth the trip. I can't wait to go back!

      Love Wonderville! The first time I came here with friends I knew I'll be back. The atmosphere is solid - it's the free arcade games for me + the drinks (not free lol). My friend recently performed here! And I love how they have a stage for music/performances. Truly my type of vibe and every neighborhood needs a wonderville. Will be back !

      I went here on a Tuesday for date night. There was no one there at 7pm LOL. It didn't get poppin until 8ish but this place is an absolute GEM.

      The variety of arcade games was a gamers paradise. I'd recommend getting a drink during happy hour then heading to the arcade to play some games. You didn't even need coins all the games were free! (Be sure to donate via Venmo.) The best one is the keyboard typing game. Forgot the name of it but at the end you can take a photo. Super cute.

      They do different events each day so make sure you pick a day they have something fun. Tuesday was Drag Show and it was incredible. Comedy, dancing, singing performances. I'd recommend bringing cash so you can tip the performers. Overall, had a blast. Would recommend for a fun date or girls night out.

      I was here for an Event this past weekend and I was very impressed from the moment that I arrived.
      The place for starters has amazing vibes.. A room full of free video games and a crowd that was excited to play them..
      When the event started with the music and the night party crowd everyone meshed perfectly and the bar and event crowd all enjoyed the many DJs spinning that night..
      This place has an awesome staff and the venue has 2 big rooms plus a very nice backyard..
      The place got extremely crowded but the talented bartenders handled it with ease.
      This is a great venue for anyone to enjoy with their fabulous atmosphere and amazing staff.

      The games are a great time and so are the events! They're both really varied and it's a great place to rest and relax either way
