Coop: most expensive, great for smaller groups, no children past a certain time, food above average, lots of arcade and pinball games (surprising number of pinball machines), plus pool & bowing

Shortys: average prices, better for larger groups, no children, it’s basically 5-star Taco Bell, good mixture of games (bowling, shuffleboard, foosball, bocce)

D&B: above average prices, kids everywhere, prize counter, below average food, it’s a child casino so there’s interesting selection of games

Barcadia: It’s just a bar. No food however it’s on market square and they’ll let you bring in whatever. Good for smaller groups or dates. Cocktails are on the more expensive side (actually more expensive than Fl. 2 and that’s a award winning restaurant inside of the regions only 5 star hotel). It’ll always be Bruggers bagels to me.

Well damn way to lay it out my guy I appreciate the input. I looked into barcadia and there were less than stellar reviews I'll give shorty's a better look when I type it in I get 2 results I'm not sure which is correct (I'm not from the burgh) and D&B was also a thought but thank you for the quick tidbits I'll use them wisely

Imo anywhere but D&B - I’m not saying it’s bad or anything - but it’s basically just a Chuck E. Cheese for parents who have more money.

I wouldn’t want to spend my adult birthday there unless it was something my kid wanted to really go do.

I’m not familiar with Barcadia, but you could also consider Shorty’s, Coop deVille, or Pins Mechanical if you’re looking for other places with games. None of those are really cheap though.
