About Retroids Arcade Bar

Retroids Arcade Bar is a nostalgic arcade bar in the heart of Worcester. Featuring craft beer, soft drinks, original arcade gaming, pinball, it's a must-visit for gaming fans young and old. We also cater for events with the option for private hire parties.

On a day to day basis, we operate 'pay per play' - £1 for all games. We run free play ticketed events every month or so, and more often in school holidays - you can buy tickets in advance on our website, one ticket gives you access ALL DAY and all machines are then free to play!

Parking/Public Transport

Worcester is ideally located between junctions 6 and 7 of the M5. The city has a number of car parks. For more information, visit: www.worcester.gov.uk/parking

Worcester's original and best arcade bar!

Two floors of arcade heaven.

A mix of retro and new pinball and arcades means there's something for everyone, with consoles free to play anytime.

Combined with a passion for craft beer and ales, we have a fully stocked licensed bar, changing cocktail menus, coffee and snacks, so we're great fun for all the family.

We operate on a pay per play basis so you can spend as much or as little as you'd like. We run regular free play, ticketed events where you can come and play all day for one entry fee.

Family run, independent business

Walking into Retroids is like taking a step back to the 80s and 90s. See if you can spot some of your favourite childhood memorabilia on the walls!

Parents love having a drink and playing on the games of their childhood, while kids love all the different games available - classic and new!

We are passionate about gaming and love seeing families enjoying the ever-changing games on our floor.

Snacks, sweets & slushies!

Kids love seeing all the older games which are totally different to their handheld, online devices.
