Do you remember the days when gaming felt like a community experience? Back when video games first took the world by storm, kids had to head to the nearest arcade with a bag of quarters to play their favorites. As more and more gamers opt to play by themselves in the comfort of their own home these days, gaming has become more solitary. However, there are still a few arcades out there that are trying to keep the old spirit of gaming alive. This vintage arcade is located in Midtown Reno and it’s a haven for anybody who considers themselves a video game nerd. Bring your spare change and check this place out. It’s a blast and you don’t want to miss it!

From the outside, Press Start appears to be like any other neighborhood bar. However, upon stepping inside you'll be whisked into a world of nostalgia. This vintage arcade and bar is a trendy new spot that any video game enthusiast will want to check out.
