“In my opinion, its focus on retro gaming creates a nostalgic and social atmosphere, unusual for Amsterdam. The location across from Sarphati Park is ideal, but light sleepers might want a room away from street noise. I think its commitment to being pet-friendly and having unique gaming events sets it apart.”
