We ended up staying 2+ hours and felt like we spent 10 minutes there! I was disappointed that some of the NES games were not working but the pinball was a ton of fun. Affordable as well!

If I’m ever reported as a missing person, you will find me here. This place is amazing, $10 bucks at the door on a Saturday night and they set all the games to ‘free play’. They’ve got a little bit of everything and it’s not overly packed with people so you can actually enjoy yourself. Great selection of beers and good people working there too!

Absolutely loved coming here! If you’re in the area you need to visit. From top to bottom I recommend everything

Such a great place to go and hang out with friends. A mixture of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink to choose from, some fun snacks, and a ton of things ranging from pinball, classic arcade to Xbox and PlayStation games.

On Wednesdays they offer five dollar entry that gets you all the games for free play.

I will absolutely be back there again!!!

Always a great time at Level 256! We go for the pins, but they offer so much more. We don't make it out often but when we do, there is always something new to play. $10/free play. They always have a pretty amazing draft list and I even tried a pre-mixed Old Fashioned that was (to my surprise) pretty good! Luke was super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to play some games and have a drink! Cheers!

For $10, you can play all the games, all day, with the ability to come-and-go as you please. Games are a gamer’s dream, from pinball and arcade, to SNES and Dreamcast games to play, as well.

All machines and video games are set to free play. Employees are helpful and friendly. They also have a fantastic draft beer selection.

Nostalgia galore. For just $10, you get to play all games for an unlimited amount of time and with a wristband that's valid all day. All machines and video games are set to free play. They also have a fantastic selection of beer alongside obviously pinball, arcade, and games from almost every console generation. A must visit place if you are in Asheville.

This place is amazing! I’m obsessed with arcades in general but especially Pinball. This place has 13 pinball machines so fellow pinball lovers get ready! There’s a decent about of other traditional standing arcade cabs but what I think sets this place apart is they also have console video games for just about everything. Seriously, every major game system is there with great game selections. This place also sells beer and wine for those that are 21+; there is no liquor here BUT since you pay a flat rate to play for the day here (only $10) you can legit just walk to the bar next door, have a drink/shot, then come back to resume playing. My favorite part about this place is from 7pm-close, no kids allowed! It’s amazing!

To recap: all games are set to free play, you just pay your $10 to get in/get a wristband. They serve beer & wine. No kids after 7pm.

You gotta check this place out! Everything actually works here like no technical/mechanical issues on any of the games. The employees are super chill and love to tell you a bit of history of whatever game you are playing. Next time I’m back in the area, I will be going here first! Love love love this place!
