9029 Research Blvd #100, Austin, TX 78758, USA Get directions
Tucked into a North Austin strip mall off Research Boulevard, Arcade UFO is a small, after-dark spot beloved by Austin's fighting-game community, where rows of Japanese-style candy cabinets host regulars trading rounds in titles like Street Fighter and Tekken. The evening-only hours and tight-knit crowd give it more of a neighborhood game-room feel than a flashy entertainment complex, so come ready to put your quarters up and learn the local etiquette.

Austin
Alamo Drafthouse's Mueller location keeps the chain's signature formula intact: you order food and craft cocktails right from your seat, delivered quietly mid-film, while a strict no-talking, no-texting policy keeps the room focused on the screen. Beyond first-run releases, it's worth checking the calendar for themed screenings, quote-alongs, and the pre-show reels of vintage clips that Alamo curates instead of commercials.
Austin
On Austin's busy 6th Street, Esther's Follies stages a long-running musical-comedy revue blending political satire, sketch comedy, and live magic, with a glass backdrop that opens onto the sidewalk so passersby on the street become part of the show. Expect topical, irreverent humor and a vaudeville spirit—and note that performances run later in the week, so check the schedule before you go.
Pflugerville
Just off I-35 in Pflugerville, Austin's packs go-karts, bowling lanes, mini golf, batting cages, and a sprawling arcade under one roof, with a bar and grill to regroup between rounds. It's the kind of all-in-one spot families and groups land on for a rainy afternoon or a birthday, where you can bounce from the track to the lanes without ever moving the car.
