We took a spontaneous trip to Continues Arcade in Alexandria, Virginia! Founded by Allan Brooks and Doug Bauer, this incredible spot features an amazing collection of fully operational, vintage arcade machines and classic consoles—and best of all, there are no annoying ticket redemption games to deal with.


We even got access to the secret Polybius back room, which is packed with rare gaming history and memorabilia like the Nintendo Virtual Boy, classic Gameboys, and Gamecubes. To top it all off, we tried their delicious, gaming-themed menu. If you are in the DC or Virginia area, this is a must-visit destination for any gamer!
