Joysticks Is A Bar Arcade In Mississippi And It’s An Adult Playground Come To Life

The only thing better than an arcade is an arcade that serves alcohol! This concept might sound too good to be true, but it exists – and you’ll find it at Joysticks. With arcade games, cocktails, and great grub, it’s like an adult playground come to life.

It’s all fun and games…and cocktails at Joysticks in Oxford.

Opened in December 2021, it’s the most recent addition to the Highland Court Shopping Center.

A combo restaurant, bar, and arcade, it’s got everything you could want in one place.

The game selection isn’t huge, but it is varied.

A true blast from the past, Joysticks is home to pinball machines as well as some vintage video games.

There’s also a pool table as well as a few dart boards.

Great games aren’t all Joysticks has going for it, though. It also boasts a menu filled with drool-worthy eats.

The tasty array includes classic pub grub, such as wings, loaded nachos, fries, and onion rings.

It’s not all apps, though. The menu features heartier options, too, like burgers, flat breads, and sandwiches.

And, of course, there’s a full bar that serves up an impressive mix of beers as well as cocktails.

Between the games and fare, it’s safe to say that Joysticks is winning!
