Hooligans Family Fun, now widely known as Hooligans Arcade, commenced operations in Alabaster, Alabama, in the early 2020s. Located at 519 1st St SW, the venue initially offered a hybrid entertainment experience that included both arcade games and an indoor 9-hole black light miniature golf course. Over time, in response to community engagement and to optimize its space, Hooligans transitioned to a dedicated arcade, solidifying its role as a prominent entertainment destination in the region.
Today, Hooligans Arcade stands as one of Alabama’s largest retro-style arcades, featuring a rotating collection of over 100 classic and modern coin-operated video games and a substantial selection of pinball machines. It operates on a free-play model, providing unlimited access to its diverse array of games, which includes titles such as Pac-Man, Galaga, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and rare imports like “Irritating Maze” and Initial D Arcade Stage 8. Beyond gaming, Hooligans fosters a community atmosphere by offering a concessions area and a bar, serving snacks, sodas, beer, and wine, making it a versatile hub for families, friends, and adult patrons seeking recreational activities and social interaction.
