Cidercade Fort Worth
Cidercade bills itself as the best arcade in Fort Worth. We have been to a few arcades in the metroplex and we agree, this is our favorite.
The parking lot for the arcade is located directly across the street. There were about 40 spots, but they were all full when we arrived. Street parking is also available if you can parallel park.
The bright decorations are welcoming and carry on throughout the arcade. Once inside the foyer, you are greeted by a friendly cashier who takes your entrance fee of $10 per person plus tax.
You walk through the second set of double doors and are greeted by a large bar to your left and a separate group seating area to the right. Shuffleboard and many arcade games are available straight away and there are large hallways leading farther forward to the left and right.
We went through the left hallway and found a small room with skeeball and several sit down arcade games. Continuing through the hallway opens up into the very large main room that has arcade games, pinball, pool tables, air hockey, and a fooseball table. At the far side of the room there are several seating areas, another bar, and you can see the artesian brick ovens for the pizzas.
Cidercade’s menu has pizzas, salads, and desserts. They offer all you can drink fountain drinks for $4 each. They brew their own hard ciders and have a wide variety available. You order all your food and beverages at the bar. When you order pizza, it takes about 15 minutes to make and they serve it hot from the window marked with your name.
If the weather is nice you can eat in the outdoor courtyard. There are several tables that have little swings or hammock chairs for you to chill out in. The courtyard can also be used as a passthrough to the final small room filled with more arcade games and is connected back to the front room.
The arcade is family friendly before 8 PM. After that time they limit the building to 21+.
We all had a great time for several hours for a reasonable price. The outing cost us about $60. We will absolutely be back again.
