"Super Rad Retro Lounge is such a fun addition to Raleigh's bar scene. The entire space is packed with nostalgic energy from the moment you walk in. Neon lights, the sound of pinball machines, and classic arcade music instantly make you feel like you stepped into the 80s and 90s in the best way. The atmosphere and the team are lively, playful, and genuinely unique compared to other spots in Raleigh. It is the kind of place where you plan to stay for one drink and end up playing games for hours. If you are looking for a fun new spot in Raleigh, Super Rad Retro Lounge is definitely worth checking out. Such a cool concept and a great place to relive some arcade nostalgia."
"From head to toe, you can absolutely tell this place was a passion project. Everything from the tabletops to the drink holders to the shot platters are hand made. The machines are from a private collection, meticulously cared for. They have some arcade cabinets I've never seen anywhere else, tons of pinball, flawless air hockey machines, and even custom claw machines! It's a blast, and tokens aren't overpriced like Boxcar. Awesome staff, too. I hesitate to recommend this place. Only because I want it to stay the way it is, because I'll be coming back again and again, and I don't want none of y'all to beat my high score on Tapper. Also, the bathrooms are immaculate (gender neutral), there's really not much I could say needs to be improved."
"Been following this place on Instagram well before it opened and finally made it down! Just as cute in person and definitely the right size for a bar of its type. Bartender was super nice and there were lots of other folks coming in and out as we were there. Very chill on a Wednesday night around 8pm. The Crazy Taxi machine is in great condition and the air hockey machines were so much fun! Planning on making this a spot in our rotation. Looking forward to many more visits!"
"I checked out SuperRad when it first opened and it shocked me how well designed it is. It has something for everything here whether that be old arcade cabinet games, pinball, cocktails or music. The vibe here is was to go down in history as something enjoyable. Highly recommend grabbing some friends, having some themed cocktails and playing to your hearts content."
"Had such an awesome time with the family. Got to show the kid what the games of my time were like. He loved it. Def coming back. Ohhh and if you're checking it out in the winter help yourself to a hot cider! You deserve it."
"What a gem!!! This place is an amazing edition to Raleigh! Good game variety and the games are all in good condition! Gabby was so incredibly helpful and friendly! Highly recommend and I will be back! :)"
"Really enjoy the arcade prices at this place! It lets me grab a good drink and then play for a long time on just a couple dollars. With most arcade games only 1 coin, still having 4 coins for a dollar, and even the pinball games are mostly only 3 coins, when they're typically 4 everywhere else."
"This is very clearly a high-effort operation and it shows. The games are old and meticulously cared for. Awesome staff. Solid drink selection and reasonable prices. We'll be back!"
"Atmosphere is very chill, bartenders are awesome and quick, and the music is great. New Year's Eve is a blast here so far."
"Fresh new spot! Super fresh beers, super fresh air hockey tables, totally decked out and cool staff to boot. I will definitely be coming back here for the future tournaments."
"Nice assortment of classic arcade cabinets and I really like the TVs on live feed over each pinball table. Will come back and drop more tokens for sure!"
"I love love LOVE this place! Such a great collection of arcade cabinets and pinball! Also the drink selection is great and the bartenders are super rad."
"Really fun and affordable, 20 bucks got enough tokens for my dad and I to play pretty much everything for 2 hours, I love this kind of place!"
"Good selection of drinks, and the atmosphere is great! Clean bathrooms, and a singing robot outside!"
"Amazing service and atmosphere!! Steve and Jennifer are an absolute joy!! This is such a cool place!!!!"
