Asheville, North Carolina has long drawn visitors with its Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop, its dense craft beverage and food scene, and a downtown core built around preserved early-20th-century architecture. Grove Arcade sits at the center of all of that — at 1 Page Avenue, just off Pack Square — as one of the most photographed indoor corridors in the city and a popular stop on any Asheville walking tour.
The RetroArcade.com directory classifies Grove Arcade as an arcade venue, but the public record on file is best understood as covering the building itself: a multi-story indoor arcade (in the architectural sense of the word) lined with independent shops, food counters, and service tenants. For visitors planning a trip around gaming specifically, that distinction is worth holding onto before they arrive.
What follows is a straightforward directory page drawn strictly from the listing data on file. Where the data is thin — and for this venue, several of the usual review and machine-detail fields are blank — the gaps will be flagged rather than filled with guesses.

The Scene
The Grove Arcade entry in the directory does not include a review synthesis, a highlights feed, or a published analysis of the venue’s gaming setup. None of those fields were populated at the time of writing, and the gap is worth flagging rather than improvising around.
What the record does show is encouraging for a casual stop: an Asheville address with consistent daytime hours across every day of the week and a 4.4-star average built up across 853 reviews — a high enough volume that the rating reflects sustained visitor traffic rather than a handful of enthusiastic early posts. The full slate of citywide gaming options, including purpose-built arcades and pinball destinations in and around Asheville, can be cross-referenced through the RetroArcade.com arcade map and arcade finder.
Games & Machines
Without a homepage analysis or operator-supplied machine list to work from, no cabinet lineup or pinball count will be invented for Grove Arcade. As an arcade-classified entry in the directory, the implied draw is whatever amusement and gaming equipment operates on-site — but specifics such as manufacturers, redemption formats, console banks, or tournament setups are not part of the public record on file.
For visitors who specifically want a known-quantity gaming experience in downtown Asheville, the directory points to a few neighbors worth comparing. Level 256 Classic Arcade Bar and Asheville Retrocade both sit a short drive from Grove Arcade as purpose-built gaming venues and are likely a closer match for travelers chasing classic cabinets and modern pinball. Their listings include hours, ratings, and machine details that this Grove Arcade entry does not.
Visiting
Grove Arcade is at 1 Page Avenue in downtown Asheville, just off Pack Square and within easy walking distance of most of the city’s central hotels and restaurants. The building’s own website is grovearcade.com for any event or tenant-specific questions, and the directory phone line for general inquiries is +1 828-252-7799.
Hours are remarkably consistent: 9AM to 7PM Monday through Saturday, with a slightly shorter 10AM to 5PM window on Sunday. That puts a typical weekday drop-in well within reach for almost any visitor itinerary. Age policy, food and beverage notes, cover charges, and private-event booking details are not part of the public record on file, so calling ahead is the right move if any of those matter for the visit.
The building itself is worth a wander even for visitors whose main interest is gaming: the directory also lists Hello Sugar’s Asheville Grove Arcade Brazilian Wax and Sugar Salon among its same-city venues, reflecting the wider mix of retail, food, and service tenants inside the complex. For more gaming destinations within walking distance or a short drive, browse the full Asheville arcade directory through the arcade finder.
