    Great place for kids, ok place for adults. It's a typical arcade setting; everything is slightly rundown, sticky and a bit grimy. One adult perk is the "bar", where you can get bottled or canned beer, wine or cider.

    However, it was a lot of fun! Most games were a quarter, fifty cents while newer or more interactive games are a dollar per player.

    If in Tacoma again and I needed to kill some time, I'd come back to play the Jurassic Park game for sure!

    I have been a fan of this place for a couple years at this point and my boyfriend I became pretty regular until I moved. That being said, I miss it SO MUCH.

    It is such a cool and chill place to hang out for a night! I would give it a 5/5 but the beer is a little pricey  OTHERWISE, the staff is super chill, the games are fun and and on the weekends they have a live DJ which makes the experience just that much more lively. It is 21+ after 9 but it's definitely a kid friendly place during the day which makes it that much more awesome. It's versatile! Whenever I visit, Josh and I are sure to stop in

    Great place!!

    Awesome games, updated with new titles, pretty well maintained arcade games.

    They make pizza and have a huge selection of Beer, local, domestic, everything you can imagine. Candy, chips and other snack also. Past 9 on Friday and it's 21 and over. They have a DJ and fog machine.
    Nice selection of original 80's games. Check it out.

    Pretty epic spot to hang out and you won't be paying 2-3$ to play every time like some other places. Have a birthday party or get together.

    Will be back many times!! I'd recommend for anyone.

    LOVE this place!

    If you're competitive, give it a go. Great date night place! Have beer in bottles, not tap. But good enough.

    Awesome arcade whether you're taking the kids out, having a night out with the homies or going out on a date!

    Dorky's is located across the street from The Forum & Keys on Main (both amazing spots) in Tacoma. It has pinball machines for days, air hockey, claw machines and them classic games. Did I mention they have pizza? And a bar?! It's lit!

    Beer + games = good times!

    They check IDs after 9pm so adults only at this point. It gets packed on weekends but not too packed. Drinks are cheap too! Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for something to do this weekend.
