Claw City — Local services in Portland

Fun and Unique Claw Machine Arcade!

Claw City is a great spot for anyone who loves claw machines or is just looking for something fun to do. We discovered it through YouTube and Instagram and decided to check it out. The experience did not disappoint—we had a blast playing the claw machines and even won a few plushies!

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. When we were struggling to win a few plushies, they went out of their way to rearrange the toys, giving us a better chance at success. I’ve never seen an arcade prioritize helping customers win like that, and it was such a pleasant surprise.

The claw machines themselves were very clean and worked perfectly every time. A cool feature they offer is the ability to tap the button again to make the claw grip slightly harder, increasing your chances of winning. While the arcade was on the smaller side, with only a couple dozen claw machines and a few other games (like a racing machine and a water spray game), the quality and variety of claw machines met my expectations.

The atmosphere was classic arcade vibes—neon lights, music, and fun decor. Their ceiling was filled with rubber ducks, which tied into their duck-themed branding and added a unique touch.

Pricing was fair, and it was super easy to get and reload a game card. For what we spent, we definitely got our money’s worth in plushies. Another great perk is the ability to exchange smaller plushies for bigger ones or trade them for tickets to redeem at the prize counter.

I’d recommend Claw City as a fun stop if you’re in the area and want to win some plushies without spending a fortune. While the arcade could benefit from expanding its size, it’s still a great destination for claw machine enthusiasts. I’d definitely return if I was nearby and in the mood...

If you’re looking for a place that’s bursting with excitement, Claw City is it! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric. The lights, the sounds, the thrill of the claw machines—it was like stepping into an arcade dream! 🕹️✨

We had SO much fun trying our luck (and skill!) at the various machines. There’s something seriously satisfying about grabbing a prize and watching it drop perfectly into the chute. The variety of games and prizes was impressive, and everything was super clean and well-maintained.

The staff were awesome too—friendly, helpful, and just as excited as we were. Whether you’re going solo, with friends, or bringing the whole family, Claw City is a guaranteed good time.

Can’t wait to come back and win even more prizes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, adrenaline-pumping...

Please be so wary of this place! The machines are owned by different companies but anything by Funtastic Arcade LLC must be avoided at all costs. Feel free to look them up but the Golden House machine does not actually work at all and charges you $5. Then, they continue to make additional charges even if you do not try using the machine again. Some people have been charged $75 over a single attempt. I had to cancel my card entirely as the company only has an email address and will not respond but continued to charge me. I was able to stop another person from using the machine, but they really should be removed for everyone's safety. The machines not owned by them did work and were not scams, so I hate to knock the entire place....
