The Circuit Arcade - Richmond

Came here a couple years ago and had the best time. Went tonight and was literally sad to see how downhill it has gone. Dirty and 60-70% of games not working. The idea of it is so fun and it has so much potential, but I worry at this rate it’s going to close soon. Ended up giving our tokens away because it wasn’t worth staying. Super bummed. I hope they can turn it around.

I remember this place being amazing and a lot of fun (almost couldn't get to games bc there were so many people) just a few years ago. Came back in Oct 2023 and half the games don't function. They'll eat your coins but don't actually work. Staff doesn't seem to care and no one seems to really want to upkeep what was a really fun place for people to come to. It's tragic and I won't come back until I hear it's got better management.

Horrible. Most games don't work. Staff is apathetic. Cool concept especially pay by the ounce beer, but apparently zero investment from the ownership group has ruined it. It's on a downward spiral and needs new management badly. Don't waste your time or money.

Honestly one of the most poorly maintained businesses I've ever encountered. I'm flabbergasted it is even open. 60% of the games are completely powered off and many of the others are broken in obvious ways (eats tokens, broken controllers, shutdown mid-game). Even half of the beer taps don't work. Please, save your money and avoid.

It's a really neat place with a lot of potential, but I think we might have been there on an off night. A lot of the machines weren't working and others had some control issues (loose joysticks, unresponsive buttons, loose steering wheels, etc) from age. The lineup of games is impressive. The beer wall is pretty nice but they weren't offering any food the night we were there. With fewer machine issues and food available, this place would easily be 5 stars.
