If you loved games like Asteroids and Pac-Man in the 1980s, or spent the day playing pinball in the 1970s, you’ll be happy to hear that arcades have made a comeback, and they’re better than ever. This classic arcade bar in Oregon will take you right back to the good old days!
Revisit your childhood at Ground Kontrol, an arcade bar that features tons of retro and modern video and pinball games, as well as a food menu and full bar.
Upstairs, you'll find dozens of pinball games. Choose from old-school classics like Pinball Magic to modern games like Deadpool. No matter which decade your machine originated, you're sure to improve your hand-eye coordination.
While the games may evoke memories of your childhood, playing them here at Ground Kontrol is a different experience as a grown-up. You probably didn't enjoy a video-game themed craft beer while playing Pac-Man in the 1980s, did you?
Enjoy a tasty snack while you're gaming. The menu includes items like nachos, pizza, and hot dogs. If you're feeling like a kid, you can even get a PB&J or grilled cheese.
Kids of all ages are welcome here from noon to 5 p.m. every day; after that, it's gamers 21 and older only until they close at at 2 a.m.. Ground Kontrol is open seven days a week.
