"Arcade club Bury"

Went to the Arcade club in bury today with 3 kids ages 10,9 and 2 and no one got bored, we was there for 8 hours, lots of comfortable couches for the toddler to have a nap, whilst the older ones played Mario kart etc. food was cheap and tasty, bar was cheap. Staff super friendly and helpful.

"Better than bury black pudding!!"

The amount of quality games in 1 place is awesome! My autistic sons loved it due to the relaxed atmosphere and not just bangin music like at tourist arcades can't rate highly enough and for the price it's a no brainer!! Staff are very friendly and helpful ( loved chatting to jd) and the beer is a quality pint too😀

"Great place"

Great place, great environment.

"Arcade Club - Could be a lot better"

I have visited Arcade club Bury 2 times now once 2 years ago and again this week.
I must say that it was a far better experience 2 years ago than it was this week.
The reasons for my gripes are these:-
1. The toilets are very grim especially later in the day they need new toilets and there is no reason for the state of them its just poor.
2. Very oversubscribed I could not get on anything with the exception of a few ancient games up on the top floor most stuff which was worth playing had people camping on it all the time for hours on end.
3. Seating in the food areas again people not eating just sat waiting for there families mostly parents on phones whilst kids on arcades. If this is going to be the case set up an area for them so they are not stopping people sitting down for meals or put a 1hr time limit on tables.
4. Ventilation it was so hot but again this goes hand in hand with the oversubscription too many people.
5. I understand they need to make money but I wont be returning as I did not feel I got value for money and I initially thought it was cheap but in the end it worked out about £2 per game for the machines I managed to get on and most of them were 10p machines so poor value really.

Finally it was so much better 2 years ago even though the toilets were as bad not half as many people and you could get on games and there was VR which has gone completely now.

"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.
