This makes stopping by the arcade even more fun since you can compete against friends with a classic tiki cocktail in your hand.
Downtown Flavortown’s Retro Arcade

Here are some games that are popular at Downtown Flavortown:

- Shooting Games: Grab your weapon and team up with friends in shooting games like Space Invaders and Raw Thrills.

Games like the crane games have various prizes that you can play to win. Some crane games have fun, cute prizes like stuffed animals while others have high-end prizes like bluetooth headphones and gaming systems. You can also earn more tickets that you can redeem for prizes at the end of your stay.
Redeem Points for Prizes
You won’t need quarters to play arcade games at Downtown Flavortown since each game takes a game card. This means you can fill up your card with as many G-Bucks (Downtown Flavortown’s card currency) as you like and refill it when necessary.
One great aspect about these game cards is that it also accrues points that you earn from certain games. At the end of your visit these points can be redeemed for prizes like candy, electronics, and toys.
Have a Drink While You Hit the Arcade
What makes Downtown Flavortown the ultimate arcade and bar in Pigeon Forge is that you can enjoy a drink while you play games with friends. It has a full service bar, so everyone will find something they enjoy, but it’s especially known for its classic tiki cocktails. Here are some of the tiki cocktails that stand out:
- Pina Colada: This is a classic, but for those who aren’t familiar, this cocktail is made of light rum and mixed with coconut, pineapple, and lime to make a refreshing, juicy, and smooth cocktail.
- Blue Hawaii: This vibrant cocktail gets its blue tint from blue curacao, and also uses rum and vodka for its base. Add some lemon and pineapple juices and you get this juicy cocktail.
- Planter’s Punch: This cocktail uses two types of rum, Jamaican and light gold, and is balanced using lime, bitters, and pomegranate.
- Port Light: An outlier of the tiki cocktails since it uses bourbon instead of the standard rum, but the passion fruit, pomegranate, and lime juice make it just as light and refreshing as the rest.
- Saturn: Another tiki cocktail for those who aren’t fond of rum, this cocktail uses gin, falernum (a spicy liquor), passion fruit, lime, and orgeat (an almond syrup).
Tiki Mugs You Can Take Home
Enjoy your tiki cocktail out of a Joe Vitale designed tiki mug that you can take home. There are four to choose from, each with their own unique design that will make you want to collect all four. They’re a great decoration to have around the house, a fun cup to drink from, and a great conversation piece. After all, it shows you went to Guy Fieri’s arcade and bar in Pigeon Forge!
Margaritas and Moonshines
In addition to the menu of tiki cocktails, there’s also a menu of moonshines and margaritas of various flavors curated by Guy. These cocktails play with various flavors to match multiple pallets, from spicy to fruity:
- Santo Strawberry Margarita: This margarita uses Santo Blanco Tequila and strawberries for a fruity and juicy type of margarita.
- Caliente Margarita: For those who like a little heat, this margarita uses jalapeño and cilantro for a fruity yet cool and refreshing cocktail.
- Pineapple Habanero Margarita: This is not for the faint of heart since it uses habanero for heat but also uses pineapple to balance out the heat with some sweetness.
- Ole Smoky Peach Tea: Using Ole Smoky’s Peach Moonshine and peach sweet tea, this moonshine cocktail is one of the most refreshing beverages you can get. With a little lemon and mint, drinking this cocktail will make you feel like you’re sitting on one of those wrap around porches on a hot day.
- Guy’s Heatwave Mule: Another cocktail that balances spice and fruit, this take on a mule cocktail uses habanero whisky and ginger beer for spice, and mango and passionfruit for a fruity layer.
Other Signature Cocktails and Drinks
If the drink menu so far hasn’t caught you, that’s okay, there’s still plenty of other offerings from the Downtown Flavortown bar. Some of Guy’s favorite cocktails include:
- Flavortown Long Island: A long island cocktail that is elevated with house-made sour mix and four different liquors for a flavor that is just as refreshing as it is layered.
- Guy’s Famous BBQ Bloody Mary: This cocktail uses Guy’s house-made bloody mary mix containing some of his signature sauces and comes with accoutrement like beef jerky, pickled veggies, and candied bacon.
- Guy’s Dillicious Cucumber Gin Fizz: For something refreshing and unique at the ultimate arcade and bar in Pigeon Forge, you may be drawn to this take on the classic gin fizz. This makes a light cocktail even lighter and more complex with cucumber, dill, a cucumber simple syrup, and the addition of the herbaceous liquor Aquavit.
In addition to these cocktails you can find domestic beers on draft or in bottles, like Bud Light, Budweiser, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra, Yuengling, Angry Orchard, Blue Moon, PBR, and O’douls. You can also find Imports like Dos XX, Modelo, Guinness, Heineken, Stella Artois, and Sam Adams, and all bottled beers can come in beer buckets of five.
There are also seasonal wines available, coke products and Bubbling Bowls, which are cocktails served in a fishbowl perfect for sharing.
Duckpin Bowling at Downtown Flavortown
As if the arcade and drinks weren’t already good enough reasons to stop by Downtown Flavortown, it also has an experience that you may be interested in giving a try: Duckpin Bowling.
Like the classic game of bowling, duckpin bowling uses a ball and pins, but the ball is smaller than traditional bowling and doesn’t have holes, so you roll it simply by holding it in your hand. The pins are also smaller, but that doesn’t make it any easier.
Since the ball and pins are small, this game is great for kids, for beginners, and for those who may have had a couple of Pina Coladas or Bloody Maries. You and your friends can reserve a lane, sit down to some cocktails and snacks, and enjoy a couple hours of bowling. This is a special experience that makes Downtown Flavortown the ultimate arcade and bar in Pigeon Forge.
Grab a Bite While You Play
Before or after some arcade games, or while you sit down to some duckpin bowling, you can enjoy a full dinner or order some snacks. This arcade and bar in Pigeon Forge also has a full menu that features many of Guy’s signature dishes. I mean, if you’re drinking and you’re burning calories bowling or playing arcade games, isn’t it responsible to put something in your belly?
Guy’s menu has multiple options for all kinds of appetites, but some of the best we need the world to know about are:
- Trash Can Nachos: Say what you will, but nachos out of a trash can can be delicious, especially when you have your option of Nashville Hot Chicken, Cheeseburger, or Motley Que Pulled Pork. These nachos are a trademark Guy Fieri creation and come as a towering mound of nachos served with the respective fixings.
- Wings: Probably one of the best friends of a cocktail, beer, or even Coke is a plate of crispy wings covered in your favorite sauce. The hard part is choosing which sauce is your favorite, the classic Buffalo, the Spicy Sriracha, or the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ.
- Smothered Phat Fries: Fries covered in “low-n-slow” cooked pork and beef chili, and then topped with pico de gallo, sour cream, bacon, and crispy onions.
The menu also contains salads like the Big Bite Caesar, Burgers like the Bacon Mac-N-Cheese Burger, entrees like the American Royal Ribs, woodstone pizza like The GUYfied Meat Pizza, milkshakes, and desserts like the Celebration Sundae.
You don’t need to celebrate a birthday or anything to order that. I mean, you could just celebrate beating your friend at Super Bikes 3. Yeah, that’ll show ‘em. But if you decide to be a gracious winner, it’s big enough for two. I mean, they’re still your friend.
