What it is

The venue leans into its circus aesthetic — neon, noise, and a cheerful competitive energy — and doubles as a party and functions space, with specific packages for kids' parties and teen celebrations. Families have noted the arcade time is generous enough to let children properly explore before settling in to eat.

It suits primary-school-aged kids and older particularly well, and the mix of activities means a group can split up and reconvene without anyone running out of things to do.

Great place to pass a few hours. If you have kids, the machines that provide tickets to exchange for a prize making buying a card for the games worth it. Some machines pay out a lot more tickets than others. Food is very good, recommended the pizza. There are 10 pin alleys if that is your thing and they have ramps for youngsters to use

Walked into this place to have a look to me it seemed too dark needs proper lighting. Overall it was nicely layed out. We wanted to have a game of bowling but was too tired and didn’t want to wait in line.

A really fun place with lots of fun for kids big and small! I've had the cocktails on previous visits and they are epic. The cauliflower tacos on this visit were absolutely delicious and the kids meal was good value. We got the package deal with bowling, games and food credit which made for a good value day out. Staff are very helpful and lots of variety in the arcade games and prizes. Only downside is the overstimulation from all the lights and noise after a couple of hours which my daughter finds challenging, so we don't go that often but besides that it's a great place and very well run.

We recently celebrated a birthday at Archie Brothers Newmarket and just wanted to say a big thank you to the amazing staff. Everyone was so friendly and professional, especially staff at the bar who helped with orders, found plates for a surprise cake, and made everything run smoothly. Had great experience.
