Awards

Why Level One Bar + Arcade why was this picked

Level One Bar + Arcade is the adult arcade-bar pick: cabinets, pinball, drinks, and a room that feels closer to a neighborhood hang than a family entertainment center. We use it when the group wants games without a ticket package or party room. It is a stretch for young kids, which is fine. Check hours because weekday opens run later than the big suburban floors.

  • Classic cabinets and pinball in a bar setting
  • Adult-leaning hang without party-package friction
  • Worthington edge location on Hutchinson Avenue

Know before you go

Level One Bar + Arcade is the Worthington-area game bar we use for pinball, cabinets, and a full bar without a cover charge. Classic and modern machines run free-to-play or low credit cost depending on the bank; the drink list carries the late window. It suits 21+ nights and casual groups who want arcade noise with a booth for food.

Hours are Monday through Thursday 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., Friday 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., Saturday 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Park in the Hutchinson Avenue lot near Worthington. Event buyouts go through the venue form rather than OpenTable. See the ranking on our best entertainment venues list if you are choosing between arcade bars.
