EightyOne Arcade Bar — Restaurant in Sioux Falls Township

Changing my rating & review as this last visit was not what I am used to at what is one of my favorite places to go downtown because of all the gaming options. I noticed the game card dispenser when I got my tokens so I asked the guys working if they all needed the reloadable but annoying to have to remember game cards now & was told just the new games did, the vintage type games still took quarters. Great, until you find out that games like multi player games like Pac-Man or one of the oldest arcade items there is, Pinball are not on the list of quarter games. When something was said to the staff they offered no apologies or explanation, just blank rude stares. My whole group left shortly thereafter unable to play any of the games we went there to play & with pockets full of quarters still. This card system change is fairly new I know because it wasn't like that the last time I went so the staff can't be that exhausted in informing customers about it & even if you are, come on guys the customers don't know until you inform...

Absolutely horrible service today. Was literally first table in tonight, time stamped receipt of 5:01pm. At 5:25pm a table that got there 15 mins after us got their food which I could see was what I ordered. Asked bartender if I still had food coming, he flippantly said yes..10 minutes later someone who came in to get food to go got their order. Pointed out to bartender we had LITERALLY been their first. Finally, 5 mins later he just blamed kitched and said I dont know why they sent them out of order? If two tables order the same thing 15 minutes apart, how would the second table ever get theirs first? Bush league to blame kitchen. Not worth more than 30 minute wait for error he would not admit to. Did have to order another drink since the wait was so long. Great sales tactic....

I really liked the place when it first opened and it was a great addition to Harrisburg as there really is nothing to do and driving into Sioux Falls to do something gets old. Most of the old arcades are only a quarter so a five or ten dollar bill goes a long way. I hadn't been in for a while and was pleasantly surprised during my last visit that he has now added pinball machines. I would have been happy with just one old one but there are several including a new Deadpool machine and an awesome Hobbit machine with a TV screen in it. The owner seems like a cool guy and you can tell he has a real passion for gaming which is evident in the space he's created. It's a great place to spend a few hours and we'll worth the drive if your from...
