SNEAK PREVIEW! B Social (Bethlehem PA), 4K arcade walkthrough & tour, July 2024

This past Wednesday, we were invited to a sneak preview soft opening of B Social, a new entertainment experience with attractions for the whole family in Bethlehem, PA. Located at the Saucon Valley Square shopping center on Route 378, they took a space previously occupied by a Regal Cinemas movie theater and gave it a complete overhaul. The new space features dozens of bowling lanes, multiple axe throwing bays, a full-service restaurant and two separate bars, and of course, an arcade with a mix of redemption games, traditional video games, and VR experiences.

B Social is scheduled to have its grand opening on Monday, July 15th, 2024. During our visit on Wednesday's test run, there were admittedly a few rough edges; for example, the first bowling lane we were assigned to wouldn't turn on, and we had to be moved to a different lane. Some of the games in the arcade were either out of service or not yet filled with plushes, and the prize redemption area was still in the process of being filled. And it's clear they were working on getting everything ready for Monday's launch; electricians were outside hooking up the marquee above the entrance, makeshift wooden ramps were in place for people wheeling boxes on hand trucks, and the gigantic video wall above the bar by the bowling lanes was showing static snow for a good chunk of the time.

But aside from these small hiccups (which are absolutely to be expected during a soft opening), we had a great time bowling and playing the games, and the lunch options were absolutely delicious, from smash burgers and salads for the grownups to sliders and grilled cheeses for the kids. And while the arcade is cool, we wouldn't mind seeing a bit more variety in the game selection; perhaps a couple of pinball tables, maybe some retro arcade favorites, or maybe even a dancing game like StepManiaX? Regardless, we're definitely looking forward to coming back in the future once they open up to the general public and get these few kinks ironed out!
