We really enjoyed the food! Service was a bit lacking but friendly. While it was very noisy, it's an arcade. What else would I expect? It was fun reliving the 1980s with the games & also finding most were still a quarter.

Amazing all over. Food on menu is unique and delicious. I got pulled pork tacos and the meat was tender and juicy and the topping was perfect. I loved it and all the arcade games were awesome and the bar was great. Definitely a repeat

We had a great time here for our kids' birthday party! The food was tasty, the party room is nice and private, and there are a ton of games to choose from! Probably my only complaint is that the downstairs is inconvenient to access for those of us with disabilities. Still, we had a great time, and when one of the games ate our tokens, staff immediately made it right. Highly recommended for a night out with friends or family!

I really hate to give such a low review. If it wasn’t for my love of arcades and the vibe of a childhood long past, I’d rated it even lower. I love the old games and the nostalgia. It’s actually set up nicely and has a great vibe. The complaints come with the maintenance here. Multiple games not working. (Taking money, controls not functioning properly, or machines just off completely). I feel like this place has all of the potential to be something great. However, these old machines have to be maintained better and it wouldn’t hurt to add a few newer games in the mix. In comparison with other arcade like venues in Indiana and Louisville, Recbar 812 is behind. The nostalgia is definitely there but what’s the point if the purpose of the establishment isn’t functional as it should be. The food is decent but not the best. The menu needs a revamp and the games repaired. Other than that the potential is there. This is a place 70s, 80s, and maybe even some 90s babies can appreciate. The young kids not so much and that’s a reason to add a few modern games in. With the other competitors around this place falls short for a place to take your children.

Had a great time with friends and family. The recbar is a great place to play various arcade games. The customer service and waitress was very friendly. The Napoleon tater tots we ordered had good flavor, however they were cold and most were rock hard / over cooked. This means that they overcooked the tater tots so at some point they were piping hot, but just sat waiting for a long period of time. Aesthetically they are pleasing, but need improvement.

When we first visited all of the games were actually a quarter. Flash forward two years and most games are $1.00 with lots of them not working and taking your money. That being said, the food was tasty, a tad bit pricey, but interesting flavors. They also have a full bar and drink specials. It does have lots of TVs for watching sports and other stuff. It's a place I would go again, just be prepared for the price.
