Apologies if this has been asked many times before, I am planning a pilgrimage to Arcade Club and have never been to either, how does Leeds compared to Bury, is it worth skipping Leeds and going straight to Bury (is it much bigger)?

Also interested in any info from members. Might be heading up there at the weekend. Leeds is half hour less travelling for me and it looks like there might actually be enough parking there! Is Leeds well stocked with the 80's classics? They don't really have a game list that I can find on the arcade club web site, they only show 12 tiles under, 'Available in Leeds' and when you click on those it tells you which floor they're on in Bury!

I would say, have a look at the walkthrough videos on YouTube for both venues.

I've only been to Bury before, and its excellent, if you get there early enough you should get parking no issues.

Leeds is brilliant and there's loads of classics there as well as modern stuff/consoles/pinball etc etc. Way more stuff than you can feasibly properly take in and play in a day.

Bury is even better and since they have added the new floor is even more jaw dropping. So much stuff there it's just incredible.

Both have something for everyone and more, but for me Bury definitely has more of a grungy arcade vibe and is the better venue with more of everything including bars.

It's worth noting that there is only one fairly small bar/food area tucked away in the corner on the ground floor at Leeds, whereas there is a separate bar and seating area on each of the 3 floors at Bury making it a much better venue to socialise.

For the sake of an extra half an hour drive it's without doubt worth going to the Bury one over Leeds in my opinion.

I'm coincidentally at a meeting 8 miles away from Bury on Friday, that made my mind up for me and I can't wait to go!
Well that's a no brainer then. You'll have an awesome time.

Thought the same...would be even considering having the meeting AT ArcadeClub

I got back late last night, what an awesome place this is. Would have liked a posher restaurant, but I can't fault the food, atmosphere or anything about it. Awesome, Leeds next!

And soon, Blackpool!

Leeds AC is a 10 min walk for me, but I still prefer the overall vibe of the Bury one, I need to get myself down to check out the new floor
