Keystone Mini-Golf & Arcade

Hey pretentious fucks that want the greatest golf course, video games, etc… go somewhere else… and get over yourself.
Those interested (and capable) of enjoying themselves, come here. Yes, it’s not the nicest mini-​golf around, and yes the games are dated. That said, conceptually this place is a fucking rock star. BYO + mini golf + arcade = winning.
To the negative review crap… it’s kind of like going to get hot pot and bitching about it. If your hot pot sucks, you suck.
All the basic ingredients (salt, pepper… booze if you choose) are here to make proper fun… the only thing to be added to the recipe is you. If the stew taste like shit… it just might be you.

went for an event that rented out the entire venue, really fun with some classic arcade games. Cool outdoor patio area, and the best part, BYOB.

These guys are the best. Went for an event the other night and was really impressed with the staff and the facilities. Also the BYOB thing is huge.

We came here this past weekend for my buddy’s bachelor party, this was the first of three stops we made that day. Not a bad little joint. We brought our own coolers of beer and a primo hoagie tray and had the place to ourselves for three hours. We lucked out with the insane warm weather so the outside patio square was nice to hang out in. Inside was a bit on the chilly side, doesn’t feel like they have any heating system in place.
For what it is, the mini golf is fun and somewhat challenging. Video game selection was okay. I think the best part (and a genius idea on their part) was the punching bag machine. Once us guys had a few beers in us, we were pumping money in that game left and right to see who could get the highest score.
Overall not a bad place. Only advice I might offer you would be to come here in daylight, the surrounding neighborhood can get a little dicey.

It first has to be said that this is only the second review I’ve ever written for Unilocal. We had such a wonderful experience at Keystone Mini golf and arcade that I had to spread the word and love for this unique experience. First off, BYOB mini golf? It’s one of those things where you’re saying to yourself, «why didn’t I think of that?!» From the very beginning of planning my sis and I’s birthday, bill and Drew were fantastic. They were extremely receptive to all my emails and questions. The guys always got back to me promptly and never seemed annoyed by my eighth or ninth email. We reserved an open table for our birthday. There was no limit on how many people could come, and we ended up having roughly 25 of our friends grace through their doors. The set up is awesome. The inside was lit up with neon lights and outside was set up with tables and lights as well. The arcade looked great but we didn’t sample that too much. There was another party going on while we were there, as well as other patrons golfing, and we never ran into an issue with space or waiting long for each hole. Regardless if you’re looking for a fun affordable day or night out, head to keystone!

This place kicks all the butt. Went for an event but was meaning to check it out beforehand anyway. All these 1 star reviews are from stuck up d-​bags. You can bring beer with you, the atmosphere is chill, and it is also family friendly. Try to find something that affordable and midway for a couple with a 7 year old who would like to have a drink or two. Then after the mini golf you can enjoy the arcade games, also free play on the juke box. Plus great café’s and little eatery spots in the area. Make a day out of it and don’t go in with a PGA mindset.

I rented this amazing place for my birthday party and boy am I glad that I did! The owners Bill & Drew are super accommodating and answered every one of my annoying emails leading up to our visit. We were able to bring our own food and alcohol which is always a plus and a huge money saver, which I appreciate. As for the golf… the course was super fun. The holes were a great mixture of difficulty. I also liked that 6 (or so) of the holes are outside so it allows you to get some fresh air. After golfing we played some arcade games, ones I noticed/​played were an air hockey table, skee ball, basketball, teenage mutant ninja turtles and a motorcycle racing game. Definitely look into this establishment for a holiday party/​birthday party/​reason to get competitive with your friends!

The worst Mini Golf I have ever played on and I have played on hundreds in tons of cities.
Overpriced for the area $ 12 each person.
Staff was not friendly at all. What made me laugh is the fact that I asked the owner if he had any issues with some of the holes literally not working, meaning the balls would not go in. The space to shoot in was literally not big enough to swing a club. He replied «I have never played on the course». Are you kidding me. How could you build and own the place and not ever play. AWEFUL!
I can go on and on, but honestly its not necessary. This place is a joke,
STAY AWAY

I rented Keystone out for my birthday party and we had a blast. The guys who run the place were fantastic — super accommodating and so nice. The course is set up in an old warehouse. It’s not that big and the holes are all DIY but they did a great job with the space that they had. There’s 9 holes inside, 9 on the back patio with some fire pits. Indoors they also have a bunch of arcade games, skeeball & air hockey. It’s BYOB and we brought our own food. Would definitely come back.

So I love this place. My bf and I have been going there since they first opened about a year ago. Byob is great for a budget friendly night. You don’t have to go just for the mini golf there are also lots of awesome arcade games. The owners are very friendly.

This place sucks. I was going to leave the review at that, but decided to elaborate.
You walk in and think «that’s it?» And then realise after you’ve already paid, «yes this is it». The holes are NOT challenging and a complete bore. Theres no AC. You cant comfortably drink while playing because there is literally one table and one bench.
Its at least comforting that they plan on adding more holes… what you have to look forward to is scattered about in their patio. This place looks like they just dont care. Ie: a work in progress hole with 3 bags of conrete mix on top. This place looks like a pinterest fail meme of a «mini golf course diy».
Yawn.

A great BYO mini golf right in the city! While the indoor space was not huge, the holes were playful and challenging! Had a blast and we’d definitely come back. Low key and an excellent place to go with friends for some entertainment!

Very fun spot to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night. The golf course is nothing spectacular, but bring a few beers and some friends and you’ll have a great time.

I’m kind of on the fence about this place. Basically, there are a large room with 8 holes of mini golf that are not too challenging. The 9^th is the ball return. The thing that makes this course a challenge is that the lighting is so dark, someone could commit a strangling and someone at a nearby hole could be completely unaware. Also it is hard to see the course or the balls.
This is a boring half course and probably not worth the $ 9 admission. Maybe in the winter, having it indoors could make it somewhere to do outdoor activities indoors but I would not return for the golfing.
The reason I am on the fence is because in addition to the crappy golf course they also have a small arcade. You can come here and play in the old school games without having to pay the admission fee. Don’t judge me but my favorite game is Police Trainer and this is one of the games I have.
One other factor is that they are a BYO. If you’re inclined to get your drink on while mini golfing and playing old school arcade games this might be an okay place.
One last note: from outside it looks like a warehouse and totally sketchy. The statue of the dude and his dog will assure you you’re in the right place.

I recently hosted an event at Keystone and it was a fantastic evening. There were still some components coming together (on my end) as event time loomed but Bill & Drew rolled with everything and graciously assisted myself and my guests, providing extra lighting where necessary, extension cords, and other event saving helpers-​freeing me up to emcee and host and not panic. A unique and novel venue for a party, no question.
As far as a spot to hang out, it;s a fun place even if you’re like me and not proficient in video games/​mini golf. Especially when there is a food truck on premises. The courtyard space is large enough to relax and be social if you wish to duck away from the action inside.
Looking forward to spending another evening there soon!

I had been to keystone once before for a party and thought it was a super neat space so I booked the place for my husband’s surprise party. The guys that owned the place seemed really laid back which I appreciated being low maintenance myself.
i rented the space from 8 – 10 with the understanding that if people wanted to hang out after 10 they would have to pay for their own mini golf. the guys that owned the place spent the party eating my doughnuts and sucking helium from my balloons. i didn’t really care about that during the party– everyone was having fun.
**at exactly 10:00 though they sent a party attendee over to tell me they were planning on charging me extra. That was #1– not the arrangement and #2– they should have been the ones to have that conversation with me. When i went to question them they pretty rudely said they guessed that people could hang out but everything had to be cleaned up/​put away. I guess they were talking about the leftover cupcakes because i had minimal decorations. as i cleaned and consolidated food they proceeded to use the photo booth themselves (the one that i paid for –for MY party) apparently they were taking their xmas card photo. i also walked outside to find one of the dudes taking 2 Mexican cokes. he only asked if it was ok when he saw that i saw him…
my main problem was either run a professional venue with clear rental expectations or be low key and laid back (ie not a ball buster about time).
overall, the party was a success and the place is still a really neat space but i would NEVER book another party there.

Was really fun mini golf. Also, some of the best arcade games! Byob option is great, wish they had something for food.
This would be an amazing place to rent out for a party!

A cute little 9-​hole indoor mini golf place in Old Kensington. This place was tons of fun, and a great switch-​up from the usual bar scene. The holes were pretty challenging and the area was pretty spacious for our group of 8 people. The one major perk about this place is that it’s BYOB! And after you’re done with mini golf, you can just hang out on the patio for free or play the few arcade games that they have. A great cheap evening out!

This is a cool mini golf course in the area of Old Kensington. It is a decent size nine course for only nine bucks on the weekend. I love the fact that it was BYOB, so bring your favorite brews! After a game of mini golf, play a few arcade games! I swear they had a modded Ms. Pac Man game there. It does suck that when it is hot you will be sweating buckets since there is no A/​C. I do hope this place succeeds and will be part of Philly for a long time.

This place absolutely RIPS!!! Decent sized, 9 hole mini-​golf course that is challenging and fun. If you get a hole-​in-​one on the 9^th then you win a free game. It seems like Keystone was able to collect a bunch of old/​vintage putt-​putt obstacles, which gives the course a really cool look.
The arcade is moderately sized, but they have all the games you’d want: Pac-​Man, basketball, pinball, and a shuffle bowling table, to name a few. ATM, jukebox, and change machine on premises.
The first time I went, Butter Truck (grilled cheese food truck) was parked out front. The second time I went, Shifty Tacos were out back selling food. I’m not sure if this is a routine arrangement but they do sell snacks and sodas inside.
On top of everything I’ve already mentioned, the two guys running the place seem like they really care about providing a fun spot for people of all ages. I’ll definitely be back.
