Ace’s Breakaway and Play

Stopped in here on a random Sunday afternoon wandering around Pittsburgh. While the shop wasn’t too crowded due to the rainy weather outside, the staff was friendly and not over-​bearing as they let us wander around checking out the variety of arcade games, pinball machines, and carnival-​style games (skeeball, etc.)
I would recommend you to bring cash (small bills preferably) in order to get change from the machine to play the games. These are great old-​school arcade games (donkey kong, pacman, etc) as well as many pinball machines as well as skeeball. I will say that your money will last here far longer than it would at a comparable type venue like Dave and Busters or Chuck E Cheese. A couple quarters here, a few there, and we had passed over an hour of time. And we even had coupons to trade in for prizes at the end!
I will say that while it may not look like much, if you manage your expectations this can be a great little hangout spot to pass the time, have some fun, feed your competitive spirit, and not break the bank.
