"This place is a lot of fun! Great pizza and hot dogs, great ciders, wide selection of arcade games. There were a surprising number of Japanese rhythm games, which was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint is that the restrooms needed some attention basically the entire time we were there, which was a few hours."

"Cidercade is a TON of fun with a lot of experiences for everyone to enjoy. There are so many games and game types- definitely worth visiting with a bunch of people. We’re not fans of cider- we sampled a few but did not like it the best. That being said, a lot of patrons kept the bar busy! There are limited food options- they have a variety of pizza with a couple of salads and a couple of sides. We tried the nachos & the chicken roll-up which was delicious! I wish there was a selection of beers or hard liquor so we could enjoy a little more."
