Diversions Game Room — Local services in San Antonio

I was hangin’ out with my son and we were trying to find something to do after lunch and guess what. Yelp didn’t let us down!

He wanted to play arcade games, but it was on a weekend afternoon and I don't go to those huge chain places full of screaming kids, trampolines, bowling, and everything else under one roof. Diversions is NOTHING like those places. Only a few kids in there and they were a bit older, so it wasn’t a mad house. There were no tantrums thrown (by me or the kids) and it was very clean.

We were in there for an hour and a half and only spent $20 total (that’s because of our MAD arcade game skillz – we are really THAT good LOL).

Really good selection of arcade games, a few older ones and a lot of recent ones. NOTE: it’s cash only, so make sure you come prepared. The games seem to average about 3 tokens but some of the bigger dual player games are 4 tokens and air hokey is 6 tokens (see picture for token prices). Every single game we played worked, so that’s a definite plus.

They have plenty of those crane games, for those who dig that. No food but they do have a few sodas, bottled water and Gatorade for purchase.

I couldn’t find ANYTHING wrong with this place and trust me, I tried to (just as you do on a first date). It was clean, everything worked, and the staff member was friendly.

Do yourself a favor and show this locally owned business some love – you will be happy you did. It...

Okay, I grew up going to arcades so visiting diversions game room is nostalgic for me. I we do enjoy visiting Diversions. They have a wide variety of classic games as well as some new ones. for example, I was surprised the other day when I went in and I saw a new version of the Ninja Turtles video game. that has to be one of my favorite arcade games ever! with regards to older games you got everything from Time Crisis to Pac-Man. oh and I almost forgot to mention they have this really awesome Walking Dead game. It's brand new and really fun to play. I also appreciate the fact that you get bonus tokens for spending more cash in the token machine. So spending 5 or $10 actually gets you more than $5 or $10 worth of tokens. Divergence is a great place to take your kids to play or it can also be a place that you go on a date. Personally, I've always gone there with my girlfriend as part of our date night we'll go out somewhere to eat and then go over to diversions to play video games. it is a family-friendly place without over-indexing on being child-centric. Meaning it doesn't feel like it's just a place for kids nor does it feel like it's just a place for adults they managed to strike a good balance between those things.I strongly recommend that you visit diversions. If you like video games and you miss the days when arcades were popular, then you're going to want to check...

My favorite place in SA. One of my favorite arcades, throw it up there with Add a Ball and Jupiter. No pinball but it is hard to find pinball in Texas. Gotta go to the West Coast for some good pinball places. Games are reasonable and tokens only. Token machine is always full. Discounts for big bills. Throw in a $20 and extra tokens pop out. Nice variety of games, claw machine, real prizes. I mean real nice stuff for the prizes (PlayStations, Switch, iPhones, Headphones, and CANDY!!!).

The attendants are very kind, polite, professional. Great guys! Not in your face but always there to help. Those guys are professionals, always keeping the machines running, bathrooms squeaky clean, tokens and prizes stocked. Honestly, those guys who run Diversions are the best in the arcade biz. I always feel welcome and safe. Thanks dudes!!! :-)

They have excellent hours, open late till 2am. No they don't have booze. Yes its gotta family vibe, but your in SA. If you want to get wasted and graffiti the bathroom lol, go to LA... This is SA, best be on your best behavior :-)

With that said, if you ever want to challenge me in a game of Street Fighter... I'm always at that machine whenever I swing thru SA.

I have only one question Are you a RYU, KEN, or AKUMA? Me... I'm all 3, just depends...
