What players say
2025 UPDATE: 4 stars -> 5 stars because they got a brand new taiko cab and how is that not 5 star performance. also, the last time i went it seems like they cleaned the place up Pros: 1. Like the only SDVX cab in NJ and LITERALLY the only newer model taiko cab in north jersey/nyc area.
Been trying to find a Tekken 7 arcade machine for the longest time and I'm glad that this place has it. They have a 1vs1 option or combo mode, overall I spent a lot of coins into this specific machine. It's great :>
This place is a hidden gem. I’m a pinballer and the pins they have were great titles in good and proper working condition. The video games are some classics plus there’s pool tables too.
I love Eight on the Break. It’s the perfect mix of old school vibes meets modern. They have your classics like Ms. PAC Man, Air Hockey, Pinball Machines, and Dance Dance Revolution but they also have arcade games imported from Japan. The Taiko Drum rhythm game is my favorite but I also like the Piano rhythm game.
