Tucked away in the high-mountain town of Davis, West Virginia, Toothache Arcade has quickly become a vibrant local hotspot since opening its doors at 340 William Avenue in 2025. This independent arcade brings a blast of bright, pixelated energy to Tucker County, perfectly complementing the town’s eclectic mix of breweries, artisan shops, and outdoor recreation. It serves as a welcoming community hub where both locals and visitors wrapping up a day of hiking or skiing in Canaan Valley can gather to unwind.
The arcade sets itself apart with a refreshingly modern “free-play” format designed to maximize pure entertainment. Instead of hunting for loose quarters or dealing with plastic tokens, players simply pay once at the door for hourly or full-day passes, granting unlimited access to every single cabinet in the building. It’s an approach that takes the stress out of the experience, allowing gamers to focus entirely on chasing high scores and enjoying the camaraderie of a classic arcade atmosphere.
True to its playful name, Toothache Arcade bills itself as a place where the fun is “cavity-forming.” The floor features a carefully curated mix of retro classics that stir up deep nostalgia alongside newer indie titles that offer fresh challenges. With a pricing model that scales up to an all-day “Sugar Rush” pass, it offers an affordable, endlessly repeatable hangout spot that adds a unique slice of nightlife and indoor recreation to the mountain town scene.
