Pinky & Clyde's Arcade Bar

I’ve been searching for a place that actually has working pinball machines (Godzilla and Venom, both by Stern), and this place did not disappoint.

Awesome bar and games. Would have been 5 stars but the bartender was wearing a "not my president" (Donald Trump) shirt. He was very nice but totally unacceptable to be wearing that shirt while working. Everyone is allowed their opinion but shouldn't be doing that while working while representing a ... Read more

TL;DR - Fun games. Nicely decorated. Interesting drink selection. Overpriced pinball.. Cramped space.. Ambiguous age policy. Been here twice. I like it ok. Fun games from the 80s and 90s, which only take one token (25 cents), but the pinball costs $1.50, which is ridiculous. So I didn't play pinbal... Read more

TL;DR - Fun games. Nicely decorated. Interesting drink selection. Overpriced pinball.. Cramped space.. Ambiguous age policy. Been here twice. I like it ok. Fun games from the 80s and 90s, which only take one token (25 cents), but the pinball costs $1.50, which is ridiculous. So I didn't play pinball. Tried their version of Ecto Cooler, which was pretty close to the original flavor. Beer and liquor prices are on par with what you'd pay at any other place, so no foul there. Not sure what a "guest fee" is, but they snuck that into my tab without warning. I see other reviewers complaining about a doorman checking ID'S, but when I went in yesterday, there was a literal baby crawling around on the floor, whom I almost tripped over. Seriously, in what world is it ok to let an infant crawl on the floor in a crowded place full of drunk people? Not a big place, and a little cramped -- mostly because of all the games -- which could get bad if it gets busy at night. Decent-sized bar. One table, which could seat about 6 people. Three outdoor tables with ashtrays out front. That's about it for seating. Decorated with toys and posters from the 80s and 90s, which I thought was cool. Plenty to look at. I really do like the atmosphere, for the most part. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back. Show less

Horrible service, Justin is easily the worst employee/bartender I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing! Combine that with the unbelievably overpriced drinks and this place is all around trash if Justin is working. Next time I see him there I’m turning around and gladly spending my money elsew...

Brought my dad here for his birthday and he got to reminisce on all the old games from his childhood. He loved it so much, and I loved bringing him to a place I also enjoy. Not to mention, Claudia. Wherever Claudia is behind a bar, I shall follow like a moth to a flame. The sun to my stars. The Red ... Read more

Delicious, fresh food that complemented the bar's theme perfectly. The game pricing was very reasonable, aside from the pinball machines but I had no problem skipping those and still had a great time.

You'll see complaints about parking (there is free, and more than enough, parking throughout Park Circle!), getting a stamp on the back of your hand (the horror!), overpriced drinks (I have to assume these reviews are from people who haven't been to a bar since before COVID), a "Not my President" sh...

You'll see complaints about parking (there is free, and more than enough, parking throughout Park Circle!), getting a stamp on the back of your hand (the horror!), overpriced drinks (I have to assume these reviews are from people who haven't been to a bar since before COVID), a "Not my President" shirt (sorry that P&C and Park Circle are inclusive, loser), and two negative reviews from the same person (I see you Paul). Don't listen to these negative reviews about this place, it's awesome! The staff is always very welcoming and fast, despite it always being busy. The drinks are very appropriately priced compared to almost any other place in Park Circle (I would even say cheap). The atmosphere is great and the selection of games is even better (with some games getting swapped around every so often, so there is often something new to play). Not to mention Frankie Ramen is an amazing late night or dinner meal. If you want a fun time, fun atmosphere, and great service, all for a cheap price, go to Pinky and Clyde's!! Show less

Man, I had a big long glowing review typed out and Google glitched on me and erased it all 😭. In short, I’d been a regular of Pinky and Clyde’s since their opening up until my out of state move.

Man, I had a big long glowing review typed out and Google glitched on me and erased it all 😭. In short, I’d been a regular of Pinky and Clyde’s since their opening up until my out of state move. I really miss this spot and always make sure I pop in when I’m back in North Charleston. The staff treats each other like family and I feel like I’ve been treated as family as well when I’m there. The nostalgia oozes from the walls and the drink cocktails are delicious. Especially that Sub-Zero! I learned to play Pinball here and now I’m addicted. The food pop ups are amazing as well. I’d say it’s a must visit if you’re in the area! Love Pinky and Clyde’s so dang much! Show less
