Cidercade is a unique and exciting destination for both kids and adults looking to have a fun and memorable experience. General Manager Sean Dockery shared some insights into what makes Cidercade stand out from other entertainment venues.
Describing Cidercade to someone who has never been, Dockery explained that guests pay a flat fee of $12 for a day pass, granting them unlimited access to a wide variety of arcade games. Unlike traditional arcades that require quarters or game cards, Cidercade offers a hassle-free experience where players can simply walk up to any game and start playing. The arcade boasts hundreds of games, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, Cidercade serves Bishop Cider hard ciders on tap, with rotating flavors to keep things interesting. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, soda is also available, along with delicious artisan pizza and smoked wings to satisfy any cravings.
The idea to combine cider with an arcade originated from Bishop Cider Company, the owners of Cidercade. The concept was initially conceived as a way to attract visitors to the original Bishop Cider tasting room and introduce them to the brand’s ciders. The founders, who were avid fans of arcade games, saw the potential to create a unique and engaging experience by combining cider with classic arcade entertainment. What started as a simple marketing strategy evolved into a successful venture, leading to the establishment of multiple Cidercade locations across Texas.
Cidercade operates from 10 a.m. to midnight every day, offering a family-friendly environment for guests of all ages during the day. However, starting at 9 p.m., the venue transitions to an 18+ only policy, providing adults with a more mature arcade experience in the evenings. This dual approach allows families to enjoy quality time together during the day, while adults can unwind and have a blast in a kid-free setting at night.
