While I enjoyed this end of Fremont versus the touristy area, Insert Coins was a "bleh" experience for me. Personally, I think the arcade game idea was cool...but it wasn't integrated into the rest of the bar atmosphere or decor at all. The games were just...there. Line up against the wall and a standard square bar for drinks in the middle. Seemed as though someone bought a bar that shut down and threw some arcade games in to capitalize on the novelty and nostalgia.
Didn't totally work for me, plus I thought the drinks were pretty pricey compared to others in that walking area.
What did me in was when I asked for a water...$3. I asked for tap water and they said "no, we can only sell you bottled water." Not only is that environmentally unfriendly, but it is a load of crap and a scheme on customers to take more of their money. Yes, you are in business to make a profit...but find another way than customers trying to stay hydrated while having a good time OR by providing a drink for their DD.
