On this roadtrip I initially didn't plan to stay at Stockholm but I somewhere on the internet read about this place and just couldn't resist to check it out. Spoiler: It is absolutely worth it.
At the entrance you will only see a few flipper machines, many pool / Billard tables and a bar, but if you walk in further there are literally dozens of really awesome arcade machines. You will find everything from racing arcades to dance arcades and shooter arcades as well as music arcades and more. Some of them are in Japanese (or Chinese) but most of the time there's instructions on the machines.
Many if not most of the arcades are able to be played with one but also with two persons, so it is a really good opportunity to bring a friend along or just play with some random person and have fun together. Really nice way to get to know people actually.
In this arcade hall you have to insert coins into each machine, you can buy them via cash or also via card inside near the bar. The machines themselves are also in good condition and the time I was there they were also properly cleaned.
Next time I am staying in Stockholm i will definitely come again to this place because it is such a hidden gem,...

Definitely the best array I've seen of arcade games and Japanese imports, bundles of fun with friends with plenty of choice. It's not just all rhythm games (Which I am personally terrible at). Had one issue with a Bishi Bashi Game where a button got stuck but didn't cause any major issues affecting every game that I played.
Make sure to bring cash for the tokens, there's a rather hefty c.40% markup if you buy tokens with a card, I'd suggest 10 tokens would certainly last an hour or two with friends and you may even have a couple left for a future visit.
By far the most fun I've had at an arcade since visiting Saint Petersburg and playing ones back in the days of the USSR! Also, a much better atmosphere than Las Vegas in Soho, London. That place is in the catacombs of a mini casino!
This venue is also wheelchair accessible though some games would be dependent on your own...
