UPDATE: We have been waiting to update you guys with BIG NEWS (aka - Opening date). As some of you may know we were shooting for the end of February to be back up and running at the new location. Currently it does not look like that will be the case. We are having to push out our date to "TBD". Lots of you guys have told us that you appreciate very much what we do and what we are bringing to our community. We know we have a great product at a very fair price that won't break the bank for families and/or friends to come and have some fun together with a unique throwback experience. We have cultivated a good following with what we do and are so grateful for and to all our past, present and future customers. We want to keep bringing the experience to our community but in an even better way if possible. That is why we set up a Go Fund Me a few weeks back. Sadly the Go Fund Me has not shown the kind of support we were hoping for as of yet. We see all around us here in our area that local businesses are closing up left and right for whatever the reasons. We definitely do not want to follow that trend. We can only do it if folks come out, participate and support. We hope to see all you wonderful folks soon in the new location and can't wait to make some new memories together. Just fyi here is our Go Fund Me Link: https://gofund.me/27aa5d533

Hey everyone out there we here at The Playback Venue & Arcade have made it to this side of 2026 and are eager to see all you guys and gals out there come out to have some Retro Gaming Fun with your family and friends here with us. We are wanting to continue the vibe we had at the old location but add to it also to make it something that is truly unique. We will be updating you guys here on Facebook as we get closer to our opening date. We have the best customers and friends and hope everyone feels like they are a part of what we are creating.

THE PLAYBACK VENUE & ARCADE would like to wish everyone out there a very safe, happy and prosperous New Year. We are grateful for both the ups and the downs of 2025 and for being able to bring to reality a dream that has long been on our minds. We see that it is putting much needed smiles on kids of all ages faces and bringing joy to folks hearts. We want to do way more of that in 2026 so CHEERS to what is to come this year and may God be with us all as we step out in faith to tread on all the fear that may come to battle us. .......with God ALL things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

BIG NEWS ALERT!!! First off we would like to send out an EXTREMELY BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has booked parties and who have just come out to have some family fun and soak in the vibe at The Playback Venue & Arcade. We are beyond grateful for those who have contributed to our establishment in any way shape or form. It is so cool to see that the fruition of our idea has resonated with so many kids and adults alike. We have had so many great experiences at our current location so it is bitter sweet to announce that we will no longer be open at the 108 Cozzi Circle location. Our apologies to anyone who was not able to experience the festivities there. We do have good news ahead. We will be moving to a new location in the near future. In doing so we believe that it will clear up some of the issues we continued to have at that location. We think the new location will greatly expand our visibility to the public, allow for more games and even have a private party room. Stay tuned and keep checking our facebook for updates and info for the upcoming events. For any questions, concerns or for future bookings please give us a call at 361-655-0837.
