Rent the Whole Arcade for your CELEBRATION
All-original vintage machines, all-day play, and BYOB flexibility for your group.
Step Into East Texas Retro Gaming
All-original vintage machines open for daily play and private parties
Old School Arcade Room curates an all-original vintage arcade collection with authentic NES consoles on grandma's couch, pinball machines, air hockey, billiards, and laser disc fighting and racing games across every corner of the space. That collection draws families, competitive players, and nostalgic adults alike to Tyler for all-day play on Saturdays and private party rentals Monday through Friday—complete with a free slice of pizza and a drink with Saturday admission!
Whether you're chasing a personal best on a cabinet you played as a kid or introducing your children to the tactile satisfaction of a joystick and buttons, the pay-once-play-all model removes the quarter hunt and keeps you focused on the game. Kids 12 and under enter for $15, adults for $20, and children 3 and under join free with an adult, giving your group unlimited access to every machine from open to close.
Old School Arcade Room keeps the vibe relaxed with BYOB flexibility, no tab fees, and on-site snacks, sodas, and water so you can play, relax, and repeat without stepping offsite. Saturday nights get busy throughout the region, and the retro lounge offers a breather between rounds when you need one.

Here's what makes the experience work for families and friend groups:
All-day play on every arcade cabinet, pinball machine, pool table, and air hockey table once you pay at the door

Just left! What a hidden gem in Tyler, I cannot say enough good things, we brought our son for day out and we had such a blast, the staff was so attentive, a super safe environment we loved security walking around and checking in. The guy at the desk was interactive and attentive made us super comfortable. Any game imaginable, and the pinball machines!! Unmatched!!! As a 90s kid this place is awesome!!! Cannot wait to come back and trying to convince our son to have his birthday here! The air hockey and pool tables are an added bonus, you can come/go as you please. Great idea, great people, hope this stays around here for awhile! Thanks for having us!

Super cool with arcade games from the 80s. Atari games, pac man, the simpsons, ninja turles, galaga and a ton of pinball games! The area where you can play like your at home is cool and can play nintendo and super Nintendo. The attendant was really cool and even said we can bring chairs over from the other area so my kids can reach the arcade games. When finding the place was kind of weird because it's connected to a pawn shop but its shares the same building. I was confused because I saw the front area and saw the Arcade paintings but had to call and find out where parking was. They share the same parking as the pawn shop and building. The entrance is in the front after your park. Will come back again 😊 Thanks for bringing me back to a glimpse of my childhood.

Extremely well kept machines and the staff are incredibly polite and a joy to be around. Tyler has needed a place like this for a long time as a kid I always wished Tyler had an arcade like this and now we finally do. If you haven’t tried hanging out here what are you waiting for! Super fun place to bring a bunch of friends, or your family. 😌👍

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My husband and I were visiting from out of state and saw this place and instantly had to stop. It has ALL the old games my dad grew up playing, told me endless stories about, and taught me how to play. I never have been in an arcade that had all the original game cabinets for me to play on. I felt like I stepped back in time here and got to see how it felt to be a kid in 80s/90s. NOSTALGIC!

We just celebrated our daughter’s 13th birthday there. Very accommodating and friendly staff. They offer a better rate for birthday parties with 3 hours of play. They have a large table available for your food, drinks and cake. Lots of old school arcade games as well as 2 pool tables. Everyone had a blast! Highly recommend for a birthday party!

Vintage Treasures and Community Roots
Old School Arcade Room stands apart by committing to all-original vintage machines rather than emulation or reproduction hardware, preserving the weight of the controls, the glow of the CRT, and the sound design that defined each era. That authenticity resonates with players who remember feeding quarters into these same cabinets decades ago and with newcomers discovering why these games earned their reputation. Plan the perfect birthday party or private event, or just hang out like the good ol' days—either approach finds its home here.
The arcade opens at 8 AM Monday through Friday and 9 AM Saturday, accommodating early risers and weekend crowds with equal hospitality. The retro lounge gives guests a comfortable place to relax, grab a drink or snack, and recharge between games.
Call to book your private event, walk in Saturday for open play, or ask about vintage treasures available for purchase at our sister shop next door.
