There are few things that get my nostalgia motors running faster than an arcade. I grew up at a time when there was one in most malls and shopping centers, and I have no idea just how many quarters I spent trying to beat the final boss in X-Men. Now there are a lot fewer arcades than there used to be, but those that remain are often a lot more than just a collection of games. That’s definitely the case for SpareMe Bowl & Arcade, the best arcade in Iowa City. A state-of-the-art place that combines vintage video games and pinball with a sleek modern bowling alley, it’s an all-ages destination with one more big surprise up its sleeve – it’s actually a pretty elite dining destination, as well! Read on to discover why this unique arcade concept is your ticket to a perfect night out!
