We have been to this location SO many times! Sometimes we just go as a couple and sometimes bring the kids. It is THE best hour that you will have. The staff is always friendly and are always around if you need help. In fact, sometimes they know you need help before you do. I highly recommend this place. Since quarantine began, I don’t know how many times we’ve looked at eachother and said “I miss VR”. I cannot wait to go back once we are able! I honestly cannot say enough great things about this place. PS Arizona Sunshine is the best game :)
2. Bad Axe Throwing

5.0 based on 6 reviews
Bad Axe Throwing Waterloo is our newest and most innovative location. Our newest venue is more akin to a high-end bar than an industrail axe throwing facility. We're conveniently located on Weber St N, and within walking distance to Conestoga College. We are right behind Games on Tap and Wild Wings. Our Waterloo location has a full bar with over a dozen types of beers and wines to choose from. Not to mention that we have a special partnership with Wild Wings where orders can be placed from our facility and received within 15-20 minutes at no extra charge to you. Our location is within walking distance to many student residential housing and a few minutes from The University of Waterloo & Laurier University. Book an event today!

Did this for the first time with a group of family/friends, and it ended up being sooo much fun! None of us had ever done it before and our coach was great at teaching us techniques and he was also really fun, joked with us, had us play games and put us on teams against eachother...he made sure we were always having a good time throughout the evening! The building was also nice, new and clean. There’s a wing place right upstairs if you want food (the wings are just ok but it’s the closest) and you can bring the food right down and eat it in there. They also sell drinks. It was a great night out and we will definitely return!

I had no idea PinUp existed until I went there as part of a work function. That night in October it was fairly busy with a big student crowd due tfor it's proximity to the University. I only stayed for an hour, then I had to leave to catch my ride. I vowed to return. Finally had the opportunity to visit again a few days before Christmas. Had a great time playing the over 12 pins and dozen or so cabinet video games, and 3 Skee Ball games. The crowd on a Saturday afternoon includes more families with small kids. The games are in good repair. The Pinball sélection is outstanding. Deadpool, AC/DC, Star Trek, Star Wars, Metallica, Super Mario, Iron Maiden, Guardians of the Galaxy, several old electro mechanical pins. All you can play for only $5...that's right, $5. I smelled something good wile I was playing so I asked for a menu and ordered a Burger and Fries from the Frat Burger menu. It was great. Had a beer too, great selection of canned beer. Young lady holding down the bar was nice and friendly. Fun place to spend a couple hours. Can't beat the price. Be sure to buy some drinks and/or food to support this awesome business. Highly recommend Pin Up Arcade.
