Frankie’s of Raleigh is a video arcade venue in Durham, North Carolina, operating out of an address on Fun Park Drive. While the venue’s name carries a Raleigh reference, the directory record places the location within Durham’s city limits, putting it squarely inside the Triangle region of North Carolina. The venue is categorized as a dedicated video arcade, suggesting a floor built around the machines themselves rather than around a broader entertainment mix.
With thousands of Google reviews and a strong average rating, Frankie’s has built a recognizable presence among regional arcade-goers. Visitors coming from Raleigh, Chapel Hill, or elsewhere in the Triangle can reach the venue along the I-540 corridor, and the extended Saturday hours make it well suited to weekend gaming sessions that stretch late into the night.
