Time Out Arcade in Ames offers an impressive selection of pinball machines and classic arcade games including a dedicated purpose built star wars room. Staff seemed attentive and happy. The retro decor immerses you in 80s and 90s nostalgia. Their karaoke nights are lively and well-attended. With affordable drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a fantastic spot for both gamers and music enthusiasts. Don't miss if you are in town.

The front side of the bar has darts and karaoke, lots of seating and a huge bar. The beer selection and drinks are great. They also do cool events like music bingo and Bob Ross painting night. The back is an 80's/90's arcade with retro video games, skee ball, pool table, pop a shot and modern pinball machines. They have app style food that fixed fresh when it's ordered and tasty. There are tv's everywhere that are showing the Gen X videos that correspond to the music you're hearing, or they have a classic movie on (Ghostbusters, Goonies, etc...). This is a really fun, locally owned business!

This is my favorite bar in Ames. The bars I’ve been to in campus town are incredibly loud to the point where you can barely have a conversation and they only play songs that were popular 5-8 years ago. At TimeOut there is so much to do!! the games are affordable and the karaoke is so much fun. The Karaoke competitions feel like a live show with entertaining judges. They also play a variety of music old and new along with music videos to watch while you sip your drinks If you are feeling overstimulated they have a quieter Tim Burton themed room in the back with booths and soft music for ambiance. Seriously such an underrated bar. If you’re a little nerdy like me you need to try this place!!

Can definitely tell you it's really nice here. There's fun, themed drinks. There's a counter where it looks like you can buy some retro figures, games, and a whole N64! (Correct me if I'm making assumptions!) Karaoke was a blast to listen to, and it's awesome having a bunch of retro games combined with some "modern" ones. As a heads up, some folks might find it overstimulating on nights like karaoke night, BUT in my opinion it's a good kind of overstimulating, and I won't dock points for a good atmosphere. It's absolutely worth a visit, if anything, for the games.

I just went here for the first time, the atmosphere was very chill but extremely fun at the same time. They have plenty of arcade games to play (most of them cost 50 cents per play), and the video game themed drinks are so cool. The Bill and Ted wall is also very cool, I wish I had one of my own I'm definitely going to be coming back regularly.

I'm not sure why I never stopped here. I love the place! The retro arcade and much more. The food was delicious. They do have a grumpy chef but kill it with the food. Great atmosphere, i can also bring my kids and enjoy a game night. Until 7pm of course

We had a great team outing at Time Out today. Who doesn't love a little friendly competition over skee ball, mario kart 64, dance dance revolution, or high score on Galaga!?! Lance & Chris are awesome hosts!

Was alot of fun. Had a great time plating games and few drinks
