Play! Hoboken

Wish I could like this place since it's the closest hobby shop to me but the management needs to really evaluate their relationship with their customers. They jack up prices on everything such as card sleeves ($17 instead of $13) and make you pay $15 just for the privilege of sitting down to play magic commander even if there aren't enough people to actually play. I overheard the manager yelling at an employee for not taking away someone's Gatorade they brought with them. Maybe if they stopped jacking up prices on the drinks they provide and start thinking about their core customer demographic and churn instead of looking at them as cash providing flesh sacks people would consider becoming return customers instead of choosing to play at a beer hall in NJ City. I suggest the managers learn how to cultivate a consumer base instead of complaining about them behind their backs when they don't think anyone is listening.

Love this place! Me and my gf come all the time to shoot pool or maybe play some pinball. Rates are fair and the facility is great, tons of options depending on what you're into. What really makes this place is the staff, always incredibly friendly and accommodating and make your time there really great. Wish I found out about Play! sooner!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we found this place —but I was looking for pinball on my Pinball Map app, and I found it! So far as I can tell, they have the *largest* selection of pinball games in town, and that is something. Barb Wire, Avengers, Last Action Hero, Lost World (1978), Hurricane and Cue Ball Wizard all worked fine, and the whole place (I think?) is pay per hour. We also checked out their extensive board games selection. They have a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks such as Jarritos and red bull, and they had fountain drinks as well. I think I was expecting a straight-up arcade, which this place is not, but there seems to be a bit for everyone, golfers and board game fans, pool players and role playing game/card game players. It’s a nice spot to be inside on a hot day, very reasonably priced…I think more arcade games would have sweetened the deal for me personally.
