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.
