This place went above and beyond our expectations. Chris the bartender made some incredible cocktails, such as his rosemary honey bourbon cocktail that was just the right amount of herb and sweetness. Our other favorite was the Cucumber smash, that was so refreshing we had to stop ourselves from ordering more than 2. The place had a great vibe and we can’t wait to go back and play all the arcade games. What a gem!

A wide variety of pinball and arcade games. Not alot of variety of food but could have also been because of the time of night. The attention to detail on the drink was wonderful. It was a bit crowded, but thats because of its popularity

So many fun games (most ~50 cents), perfect for a rainy day. Chris is an awesome bar tender! Try the chicken quesadilla for a snack

Chris the bartender made the best quesadillas, cheap drinks, fun arcade games, and good smiles. Definitely would check out the place if youre looking for something fun to do!

We had time to kill on our last night in Savannah and this was definitely the place. Love so many of these old school games! I had fun playing Pac-Man and Ninja Turtles while my husband and a friend played Street Fighter, Pong and many others! Cool little place! Stop by if you love games!

If Chris isn’t your bartender then just leave lol.. he is the absolute best.. instead of ordering a drink off the menu just tell him to make you something good and I promise you won’t be disappointed.. great service and conversation. Awesome place to drink and just have fun..

Visiting from out of town, Chris and Mag gave the most amazing experience I’ve received at a bar. Fast service you won’t wait over a minute for your drink! First time here I’ll definitely be back (: thank you guys so much for an amazing experience and if you’re in downtown Savannah make sure you stop by!!!!! The games are fun also, a perfect spot to get your favorite drinks and play games with a snack in your hand (:

I had a great experience at the portal it was an extremely unique experience and the bartender Chris makes excellent unique drinks like nothing I’ve had before. It was a great time and me and my girlfriend enjoyed the unique arcade experience tremendously

Strong drinks, awesome staff and skeeball…full stop. (You know that this is a real review and not spam because robots can’t hack skeeball)

Chris is one the best bartenders I have met here in Savannah. He is friendly, funny, and really puts a lot of heart into the cocktails he makes.I highly recommend checking this place out if you want to enjoy a laid back environment with chill people, fun games, and good drinks 🍻

Not bad at all considering you might not find many places with variety of machines & games. Loved variety of pinball machines. Small & kinda cozy. Seems to be an ok hang spot for young folks & older folks who are young at heart. Pool table, air hockey, wide variety of games, some food. & variety of beverages.

Half the games dont work and thw bartender here are rude and lack customer service like you being there is a problem not recommend

We had to kill some time before meeting up with friends in the area and we stumbled in here. We love hitting pinball bars and arcades so we were delighted to find a pinball machine here we havent seen anywhere else. It was like a pinball baseball game. Super cool and a ton of fun to play.

The Portal Arcade, Café, and Bar holds great potential yet lacks in some areas within their operation. First and foremost, I should note that the staff was friendly and quite welcoming, so for me, thats a major plus. However, there were games that werent working and just ate quarters which for an arcade is a big deal. Furthermore, many of the game controls, such as sticks, buttons, and wheels were sticky or greasy which was an inconvenience. Although, its nice to see this place catered to vegans from a look at the menu so theres that. All in all, I dont feel a five star is fitting at the moment for this place however, with a little more effort put into their operation here it could become a something far more unique than it is for Savannah!

Very retro fun place. Due to the storm, we werent able to walk around Savannah so we stopped in the arcade just to get out of our hotel room for a bit. We were not disappointed. The guy at the bar was friendly and it was a nice place to kill some time. I was definitely go back if Im ever in the area again.

The place had a good vibe. Drinking and playing pin ball machine? Epic!

This place was recommended by a local bartender and it did not disappoint. It is definitely a hidden gem. The bartender Chris was very friendly and and treated us like locals. The games were fun and the food and drinks were great!

Pinball machines are awesome and the bartender is great. Parking is difficult right now but still worth it. Kid friendly till about 11pm

Claims kitchen closes at 4AM. Came in BEFORE 3:30AM... Told kitchen is closed. On a FRIDAY night. Do not waste your time. Total carny, rip off spot with FALSE advertisement.THEY LET YOU BRING IN OUTSIDE DRINKS. Witch seems illegal but whatever in this carny town. AVOID.

Chris is a fantastic bartender. He makes excellent mix drinks that are made properly paying attention to the little things. Also, the arcade is pretty awesome.

I always enjoy playing old pinball and arcade games. I was happy to find all machines working. I couldnt play several machines well due to glare. Not sure if it was lighting or evening sun but i think it was lighting.

This place was *fine*.Starting with the good - there are a lot pinball games and a lot of the classics - Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and even a couple of skeeball machines. The food was surprisingly delicious.Now the Not so good - When we ordered a sandwich and a quesadilla my husband asked if there were any sides. We were told it comes with a side of salsa. $26 for just a sandwich and a quesadilla. There was one buy behind the counter who seemed like he would rather be anywhere else It was SUPER hot in there. There was also a homeless man playing pool with just the cue ball and yelling to himself. Bartenders were perfectly aware of this and walked over to him three times, though I dont know if anything was ever said, but we were the 3rd couple to leave because of his monopoly on the table and his stench.Weve been to other arcades like Fun Spot in New Hampshire and The Pinball Museum in Asheville, NC and really expected more.

This place is awesome. Classic pin all machines and games. Kids should leave about 11-1130, but really fun. Bar is pretty cheap, really fun place for a night out.

The service and quesodilla were amazing the bartender on shift Chris was excellent at tending to me, he stop the cleaning that he was doing and severed me with deliverance and dedication making me feel at home and heard great place to play pool and a fun arcade

First time here and Chris the bartender was by far the best bartender I’ve ever encountered!! He was quick with drinks and had great conversation and Definitely made me want to come back next time I’m in town!

Had the shawarma wrap and it was amazing. Great atmosphere with cool old school games thats open late and had awesome food. Best late night spot in savannah.

If you like a game room filled with old video games like pin ball and the racing car games then this is the fun room for you!!

Very friendly staff. My friends and I had a great time.

Its a great place to feel the nostalgia of playing in the arcades. Most of the games are pinball machines but you still have that feeling of being in the 80s and 90s all ove again.

Interesting arcade in downtown Savannah and similar to other old school arcades popping up around the U.S. which is nice. Since I didn’t spend more than about 15 minutes here my review is not as thorough as others might be. A solid selection of games overall and decent prices for them. The one exception was the baseball game shown here. This was a staple of my childhood and I can recall playing dozens of times. I wish the price was a little lower here as $1 for three outs seems relatively step compared to other options, though it is somewhat understandable as it has a range of physical components requiring upkeep. Overall the place is still worth going to.

Fun classic games to play. You need your own quarters. Definitely plan ahead. 4 stars for the change machine always being broken. I guess they dont need money from guests? Interesting.

A few are out of service but still a lot of fun machines still available.

So much fun! Went late at night and it had a great vibe! The staff were upbeat, enthusiastic, and fun! Made me an awesome coffee beverage and service was great. Great arcade games and beverages. My husband and I had a blast playing Gauntlet for hours. :-) Open until at least 2am.

Great place to relax, have a drink and play some games! Great experience!

Fun place with some great pinball machines. The bartenders had great specials going on for cheap drinks and we were able to drink and play pinball for over an hour for $12. Can’t beat that at all. My only wish would be that skeeball was a bit cheaper. $1 per play is a tad bit too expensive. Great times and will come back.

Fun time when the games work. Unfortunately it seems like 50% are broken.

This place is great everytime

Really enjoyed it, quite a few machines down but always happy to see an arcade nowadays

The prices are good but this place feels old and dirty everywhere. The bar drinks were kind of gross too.

I love it there they have the best hot dogs and my favorite drinks its a good place to just chill and hang out at for a good time rather youre with family friends or on a date

Very fun place, great atmosphere, drinks are wonderful and the food was amazing.

Killer barstaff and awesome pinball selection! Original pong game changed my life.

Way overpriced arcade overall. But a fun experience for drinks and games.

We had an amazing time!!! They let our service dog in!! Drinks amazing and games did not disappoint!! Highly recommend!

Awesome place. Many arcade machines to choose from. I will come here often.

This place is awesome!!good drinks fun atmosphere still use quarters!! We had a blast!!

Dont go here. I had loved the staff including Jeff and Tia to the point I went to them when I thought I had been drugged in Oct 2019. In response their staff, Tyler called the Savannah PD and banned me - without any paperwork for 6 months. They are absolutely not a safe place for anything. I always am about helping out small businesses but I dont let other people get hurt either. Theyre owner should be ashamed of her staff.

They don’t have a sign! But they say all the best bars are the ones without them! Also they have the best prices on premium liquors and beers that i know of downtown, also Jeff he’s an awesome bartender ! 🤣

The very first dining place my Grandmother and I visited when exploring Savannah. Just on a whim, we were looking for a location to have brunch and of corse, I wanted to check this out. We played some games and ate some delicious foods. Cool experience and one we will never forget.

Nice place, friendly staff and a cool atmosphere with the music, all the arcade and pinball machines. If Im ever in the area again Ill be stopping by : )

Cool arcade games reminiscent of the Ronald Reagan administration. They have the most important speed runner game of all time, Hydrothunder. They also have billiards thats only $1 a game. Stays open late, 4am on some nights so after you get lit at the Tree House you can come here to have a very 6.2 out of 10 experience to end your night, kind of like going to a drive thru dairy queen at 10pm after a college night class. Anyways, the food was absolutely awful. We paid $6 for a hotdog that tasted like it was cooked by a 6 year old in their easy bake oven. Whatever you do, if you are from ireland drinking a couple pints before 10am or a local savannah resident who knows every food and beverage establishment in chatham county...do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT eat the hotdogs.

Had a lot of fun playing old arcade games and having good beer. Will be back!

A lot of the games arent functional/eat quarters and the bartender who was there that night seemed very uninterested in working.

Super old school arcade, you pay with quarters! Lots of game choices, kind of a small space but a fun afternoon experience just off downtown.

This bar/arcade feels like hanging out at your best friend’s house... if your best friend had a ton of fun arcade games, delicious food and mixed drinks. The prices are totally fair and the food is simple and great! The place is one of Savannah’s best kept secrets! Come here!

Cool little hidden spot in Savannah. Definitely lost track of time here but the food and drinks were on point. Obviously there arcade is a big plus... ultimately this place is a cool spot to come hang out and have some fun!

I ordered online a Pastrami Reuben and a California Rush hot sandwich. I also had it delivered. These sandwiches are delicious. I hope to visit this spot soon :)

Some games need work but cool place

My favorite pass time games alcohol and food what could be better

Bartenders dont know how to.make drinks, super dirty, homeless and druggie hangout.

Fun! Safe! Great for the family! Coin operated classic games pinball and more! Good food menu and good beer and drinks.

Kid liked it. Had all sorts of rare vintage pinball machines. I gave him $10 in quarters and he played for about an hour. Cute place...little hole in the wall pretty much🤍

Fun environment but no social distancing what so ever

Where adults and kids can let loose and have fun. Highly recommended

Cool place, drink and play arcade games

Coffee was good and they have various arcade games, a pool table, etc.

Food was great for a late night meal and theres a good bit of arcade games to play for entertainment. Would recommend anyone give this place a visit.

Amazing hot dogs and drinks

Just discovered this place the last time I was in town. I had such a great time!!

Amazing! Plentiful in arcade games, pinball machines, drinks and food! Not to mention the pool table, air hockey, and darts! I completely recommend it to anyone looking for fun with friends and/or family, and is touring the beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia, or other cities around it!

All the games are fun and bar tenders are great I do think the games themselves could be a little cheaper

Whoever was working Sunday, sorry man I forgot your name (which is also another reason it’s a 5 star for me lol) not only is the atmosphere amazing, the bartender was providing the perfectly blended drinks all night. Definitely would recommend.

Pinheads and Panic Flappers dive bar (great prices) with an arcade attached! About 16 pinball machines to dump quarters into! KISS machine got me for 4$ played for 40mins money worth spent!

Oh, man! Talk about a blast from the past.I was a big arcade troll in the 80s, so it was like returning to my childhood briefly.

Sign says kitchen open till 4 but thats a lie

WOW, great food, customer service minded employees. The arcade will just blow you away. They have a Valley bar pool table kept in pristine condition. A great place to hang with friends

I love love this place. Always great service. Even when busy the staff treats you like you are the only one there. The food is amazing and they have even personally made it for me on the holidays . I refuse to spend my money anywhere else because it would be a waste, unless its the owners other bar The Wormhole! You are missing out if you havent tried these bars.

Plenty of great arcade games from our childhood were here and also air hockey and a pool table. Decent selection of pinball machines.The staff were extremely friendly and gave great beer recommendations. I also see that they serve coffee which looked good but I didnt try any. Highly recommend this place as you will have a good time.

One of my favorite bars in the Savannah downtown area. Games, food, drinks whats not to love....oh yeah, tall boy Tuesdays!! Bartenders are friendly and attentive. Ask for Jeff if hes in there he will take care of you.

More games then most. Well maintained games w good food and drinks

Great time! Food was good. People were great. Drinks were WELL made :) and the arcade was lots of fun. Bring cash! To get change for the games.

Really great place! The arcade games are super affordable (everything we tried was either 50 cents or $1). The cranberry mint mojito is legit, and they even have a vegan section on the menu. Highly recommend!

Fun place to hang out. I think the games are a bit over priced which is why I am only giving 4 stars. This is really their loss because we would have stayed longer and drank/ate more if the games were not $1 per play. The staff was nice and the coffee mixed drink we made up was AMAZING!

Love Mateo and the golden eye shot. The food is so good and the deviled eggs shouldnt be missed.

Great place to go and play some games. Also try the food, its pretty good. New favorite is the jalapeno popper dog.

This place okay simply put. It can get cramped easily due to layout. Most the games seem to work. Some better than others. I wouldnt suggest this place for pool. Has one table an non of the sticks had tips. Prices are well, they reflect the area. So it can get pricey quickly for food/drinks. Overall, not a bad place, or a great one.

Jeff is an awesome bartender and an awesome dude. Great games, great prices for drinks. Super chill atmosphere and a great place to kick back and have some fun. Definitely recommend! Go see Jeff and play some games!

Fun Spot I go there quite frequently friendly staff

Five stars for keeping Dance Dance Revolution alive! This place is a gem. Good mix of old and new machines that are fairly priced. Pinball, Time Crisis 2, air hockey, solo skee ball, driving games, did I mention DDR? They also serve booze here (it is Savannah). The place seems to keep a small crowd of locals. I look forward to visiting whenever Im in town.

This place was great! Stopped in after a long day of driving; they were one of few places open with food past midnight. The staff were friendly, and the deviled eggs were fun and delicious. Will be visiting again the next time Im in Savannah

I went there this weekend and had a blast some of those games were apart of my childhood

Moved to town on Thursday, this was one of the first places I walked into. ITS MY FAVE PLACE IN TOWN NOW! Been there 3 times in 5 days. Great Atmos, great people, great games, great drinks. See you there!

Decent drinks (nothing on draft made me kinda sad though). Fun games, but not sure why some games are .50 - $1.00 per game. There was no way to get quarters (machine broken). He food smelled pretty good though.

First the good:All of the food I tried was very good. The drinks were cheap. The service was good. There is a good selection of old arcade games from the early 2000s to the 1980s. They also have pinball, ski ball, air hockey, and pool.Now for the bad:The games cost $.50-$1/credit. This is pretty high for some games like Ms. Pacman. A few of the game machines have a dollar reader. Many accept quarters only. The night we went, the atm was down, so my wife had to go somewhere else to bring back money. The quarter machine was down, so we got $2 in quarters from the bartenders. When we needed more quarters, the bartenders were out of quarters. We were unable to play the games. The Portal needs to figure out a better way to handle paying for games like 1) installing more dollar readers, 2) ensuring more than one change/token machine is on site and functional, or 3) upgrading to card readers on all machines.

Pinball tables were in great condition but the day I was there they ran out of dollars for change. Made for some awkward transactions. Glad I brought a pocket full of quarters. Couldnt try the food due to the money problems. And they were out of their deviled eggs.

Not only is this an Arcade it a Bar that serves Food at a great price. Ive had their BBQ Chicken sandwich and BBQ Brisket the times Ive visited and it was really good. The Crew is very friendly and helpful if you needed help or had a question.

I love coming to The Portal! They’ve got great food, drinks, and coffee! Jeff and Téa are amazing bartenders. You definitely have to check this place out.

Accidentally stumbled upon this place and immediately I was taken back to my childhood. I hadnt seen or been to an arcade in years. This place is fun and has a wide assortment of arcade game, pinball machines, pool tables, and various other amusements. Have fun inside!

Please lower your delivery fee on Uber eats. I love your food but I cannot order because my meal goes from 10$ to 20$ when I order delivery. Love your food!

Cool spot, good hang. Not a ton of games, but a real spot. Excellent pinball selection, and locals will cheer you on in air hockey. Ask to see the secret room for a couple rare machines.
