The Clawcade

Christina Moat opened The Clawcade in 2024 as the South Bay's first arcade built entirely around claw machines. The room runs about 1,200 square feet under 12-foot ceilings, with more than 20 machines stocked with plush prizes that get swapped out regularly. Large and medium claws take one token per play; the mini machines give two tries for the same token, and winnings can be traded up for bigger prizes on the spot. It's set up for birthday parties and private events as much as a walk-in game.
