Arcade Legacy, a notable entertainment venue in the Cincinnati area, commenced its operations on Memorial Day weekend in 2009, initially known as Arcade Legends, in Fairfield, Ohio. The venture evolved over its early years, moving to a new Fairfield location where it expanded its offerings to include a media store and a stage for live music. A pivotal move saw the arcade establish itself in the Cincinnati Mall, which became a period of significant growth for the business. In 2015, Arcade Legacy further diversified by opening a “Bar Edition” in Northside, catering to a broader audience.
In a move to consolidate its various operations, Arcade Legacy opened its current, extensive location at 2241 Crowne Point Drive in Sharonville on January 6, 2023, combining elements from its previous sites. This establishment serves as a comprehensive classic and modern gaming destination, offering a wide array of arcade games, pinball machines, and dedicated console gaming stations for both retro and current systems. Beyond gaming, the venue features a media store stocked with video games, consoles, and collectibles, alongside a bar and planned restaurant. Arcade Legacy fosters a strong community presence by hosting regular events such as FGC Fight Nights, Magic the Gathering sessions, and pinball tournaments, establishing itself as a significant social and recreational hub for gamers and families across the Cincinnati region.
