Level Up Arcade Bar in Limerick

If you want to play cool arcade games , table tennis, pool etc while having a drink this is the spot

A blend of retro and rhythm games, along with a few others! There are some boardgames there as well. Great atmosphere, perfect for an event or just hanging with friends

I would like to start this review by saying that I'm talking from the perspective of someone who is here purely for the rhythm game cabinets. I have not eaten here and hence gave it a neutral rating postives: Importing rhythm games cabs is very cool and i like to see this happening in ireland. I know no other place in the country that has DDR, Maimai, Wacca, Groove Coaster, and Taiko available to play so props for that. Servers at the bar are nice and friendly. The atmosphere inside is very cool and makes the place really feel like a nice arcade to be in when it's not busy. I also think it is very cool they have multiple board games available to play for free, that's very nice to see and appreciated. Cons: every second time i enter the building the machines i want to play don't function. And when they do function, they fuction. Nothing more, DDR pads are unsensitive and very difficult to play high diffs. Groove coaster is perma offline and is not on sometimes. Wacca doesn't even have it's rim light up and is also offline. Taiko often is missing sticks and drums can be in bad condition depending on when you visit. Maimai is the best option as the game is fully functional and playable except it's offline like everything else here. It is not difficult whatsoever to make these cabs have a server connection either so it's just laziness from my perspective. Maybe the cabs would be in better condition if i didn't see them being used as beer coasters with random drunkards damaging them. Sometimes i do wonder if the owners give care about any of the cabinets. The arcade should be the main attraction here and not an add on. There's literally a bar upstairs like why do you need one downstairs. Being here could be a great experience but it's not. Not when you compare it to other arcades around europe.

great arcade, came here for the rhythm games and enjoyed it a lot! the prices on the arcades are good too
