I was a first timer at player one and it's hard to believe as I always drive by this place. But lately we've been into bar/arcades and this place was recommend. It's an cool spot overall but you'd definitely be bumping into people from "the valley" Then bar is in the main room you walk into and towards the back is the rest of the game machines. They have skeeball, the of Mario kart, pinball machines, air hockey as many others. Overall it's a cool place to hang out, no parking lot, you'd have to find parking on Main Street or neighborhood.

The evening that I came here with the boys, we originally were trying to get some climbing time in. (The climbing gym we chose was renovating and thus really limited in terms of available climbing spaces, which we deemed not worth the cost of entrance.) Instead, we opted for this arcade which was fun but also a lot to take in. I was thinking about the cost effectiveness of spending money to try to win cute prizes versus just going to buy the cute prizes. (It then makes me think about supply chains of such cute prizes and if they are gate-kept or otherwise reserved for arcade businesses. I am now thinking about drop-shippers and how I will never allow myself to fall prey to them again.) Back to my arcade experience, I had the most fun claiming our prizes, as it was interesting trying to balance out the total costs and use our winnings strategically.

I visited player one to see if it would be a good wedding venue. It's honestly a lot of fun, the games are all one dollar and you pay in quarters, the drinks are strong, and the staff is friendly. Service is great too, great place for a date night/1st date/trivia Tuesdays

I love me a good bar-cade! They also carry my favorite marshmallow stout beer, which is a big plus. Once you get inside, you'll notice it's not very large of a place. There's one main room with games and one room for drinks. There's pinball machines, air hockey, basketball, skeeball, DDR, shooting games, Mario kart, and a few other things. It's a fourth of a D&B, without food and without much ventilation. It can get pretty hot in there. It's also quite crowded during Friday and Saturday evenings. There's karaoke, too, which is a big draw for people. The bathrooms are usually filthy. :( Cute mirror, though. Street parking is your best bet in this area. Make sure to pay your meter.

They do public karaoke here on the weekend if you buy a drink. They give you stamp and you can sing all night. All the workers here were super nice and personable. Real great vibe here. The games are great. They take tokens. Bathrooms and the whole arcade is clean. I would definitely come here again. Love the ddr

Such a good time at Player One! This is a no frills barcade that's great for a night out with friends. We went a little on the earlier side of a Saturday night and while it was busy, we didn't have to wait for any games. There are LOADS of options of games to play including a lot of classic favorites like House of the Dead, The Simpsons and DDR! Lots and lots of pinball machines too. They have a machine that will give you quarters so bring cash! The bar here is pretty simple, so don't expect any elaborate cocktail list. Though they do have some fun drink specials! I really appreciate that they have water available and easily accessible. Especially because I was all over the DDR machine and needed some serious hydration that wasn't alcohol. FYI Do not entirely recommend playing DDR after a cocktail but boy did I have fun! Also, I have to express my gratitude for the friendliest bouncer I have ever encountered. Not only was he welcoming, but he gave us the complete rundown of how the games work and the house rules so we knew exactly what to expect walking in. Be sure to check out this awesome barcarde spot right here in the SFV! SO much fun!
