Arcades, VR & Gaming in Glasgow

Right in the centre, VR Simulators has you strapping into a headset for real circuit racing, sold as a single sprint or a full grand prix, and it suits ages 10 to 15. Boom Battle Bar is close by too, with axe throwing, crazy golf and augmented reality darts from £5, though kids are cleared off by 7pm and the cocktails come out for the grown-ups after that. For something quieter, R-CADE has over 300 tabletop games covering four decades of video game history. If you want an evening without children, Golf Fang is 18+ only, from £40, with neon crazy golf, AR darts and karaoke near the Hydro. Boom Battle Bar is the one to pick if ages vary in your group, since it runs games and food before the evening switch to adults. VR Simulators needs booking ahead, and R-CADE is the cheapest way to fill an hour if you just want to wander and play.
