Free Play Bar & Arcade

Information

******************************
NOW OPEN AS OF JULY 9TH
******************************

There are two DDR cabs here: Extreme Pro, and bootleg DDR 2014. Extreme Pro is a first generation cab, pads are foam modded. 2014 cab I'm assuming is a Betson cab, since it has SN2 designs all over the cab.

There is also a Pump Prime1 cab, FX design. Very good condition considering how old it is.

Most of the other games are 1970s - 1990s arcade games, with some early 2000s stuff in there as well. All machines are on free play so you can play as much as you want.

****You must be 21+ (and have a valid photo ID) to enter.****

$10 admission

For parking, there is street parking, which is free after 6pm in certain spots (Friendship Street), otherwise $1.25 per hour

DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT IF THERE IS NO ATTENDANT THERE. They have been locking the parking lot lately, even if there are cars parked inside it. Always park on the street if you're unsure.

Monthly DDR 2014 tournaments are held here, check out New England Rhythm Games on facebook for more info: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1491444717534679
