Belfast
What it’s like
Free-to-enter arcade and gaming spot in Belfast where you pay per game rather than for the door.
This is a gaming venue first and foremost, arcades and VR are the whole point of coming, and getting through the door costs nothing. You pay as you go on whatever catches your eye instead of a flat entry fee, which suits a short visit as easily as a long one.
There's a café on site, so you can grab a coffee between rounds rather than having to plan a separate stop, and it's dog friendly if the walk takes you past on a Saturday. Wifi's there too, handy if you want to check scores or just kill time waiting your turn.
It opens Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm, and there's no booking link listed, so this reads as a turn-up-and-play kind of place rather than one where you need to reserve a slot. That's one less thing to organise on a weekend, though if you've got a specific game or machine in mind, going early in the window is probably your best bet before it gets busy.
