Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely superb! Visited recently with my 12 and 14 year olds and we all had a great time. We last visited 3 years ago and there were loads of new machines this time round, with the old classics a... See more

I loved this place so much. Best selection of retro arcades I have ever seen. It was hugely entertaining for me, but also for my kids aged 12 and 8. The food (pizzas, burgers, hit dogs etc) are pret... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

outstanding in every way

i've been to both arcade clubs in bury and leeds several times now: i live quite far away from both, but it's well worth the drive to either! it's really cheap for the amount of stuff there - you only have to pay an entry price, and then all the games inside are free to play for the whole day. parking on-site is free too.

the atmosphere in arcade club was amazing and i felt really excited the entire day, i wasn't bored for a moment. the amount of machines means that people are distributed pretty evenly and that you don't have to wait long (if at all) to get on the machine you want.
there were no problems with the machines as far as i could tell (only one was out of order, and this was awaiting replacement parts). the machines were clean, in great condition and clearly very well looked after, and they had loads of obscure ones usually only available in arcades in japan.
the staff were extremely friendly and clearly very passionate about the arcade and showed genuine interest and enthusiasm while i was playing on the vr in leeds, haha. both arcades had seating areas and offered food/drink at low, affordable prices.

the only advice i would give if visiting bury (i'm not sure if this applies to leeds aswell as it's a newer building and i last visited in the winter) was that it inevitably gets pretty warm in the arcade later in the day as it gets a bit busy and obviously there are a lot of machines on at once, and while they do have air conditioning i suggest wearing light clothes if visiting in the warmer months.
you can tell how much of the money they make goes straight back into the arcade, it's always nice to see a place that really truly cares about people's enjoyment rather than just making a profit. overall, well worth the relatively cheap entry cost (and long drive, in my case) any day, great fun for both kids and adults. i only wish i lived closer!

We went to the Arcade Club in Bury for…

We went to the Arcade Club in Bury for my Boyfriend's birthday. Quite cheap entry considering the amount of free to play games that was in the three floors. A large selection and kept us entertained for hours and hours. The food was nice enough and relatively cheap, we would definitely come here again!!

If Tyler Durden opened an Arcade

Excellent place. I have been many times.
Great atmosphere. Feels like you're in a secret underground club, all dark and neon painted walls.
Set in a old Lancashire Mill on multiple floors. They have games for everyone, old original upright arcade machines, pinball to modern VR, PC's and consoles. They have a large selection of Japanese imports too.

The customers are like minded and the staff are friendly and seem like gamers themselves.
Prices seem expensive to get in but it's well worth it. Every game is on Free Play. Even the brand new arcade machine are on Free Play.
Food and drinks are great and the prices really good too. They have a selection of bottled beer's.
Recommend for families throughout the day and groups of mates in the evenings until late.
I've also visited the Arcade Club in Leeds which is the same as Bury but Leeds is in a new building rather than a Old Mill.

Multiple floors of gaming from retro

Multiple floors of gaming from retro, arcade style, every console, pinball, gaming pcs, vr. You pay at the door to get in which is about £12 currently then all games are free to play. plus hot food pizzas, burgers etc, drinks inc alcohol and snacks all very low price. Friday night are adults only too. And there is an escape room next door. Free parking on site. Recommended to everyone.
