It's a fun and nostalgic bar in a pretty chill part of the Arts District. The arcade rotation is a well thought out selection of hits and there's a ton of pinball.
The outdoor area is an awesome place to hang. I kiiinda wish the music wasn't up so much on off nights.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chauncey R.Los Angeles, CA3133711Mar 23, 2024
A little too crowded for my tastes. Cool retro games BUT expect people to be hovering way too close for comfort behind you as they wait for you to finish.
Wait for the bar on a Saturday night is ridiculous. It took way too long to order.
If you like arcade games and beer, I think there are other, less chaotic places to try out.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Mar 10, 2024
Went on a Saturday night around 9pm. Place was crowded but we were able to get in without waiting. It's a fun bar and very nostalgic as an 80s baby. I feel like the tokens are reasonably priced. We didn't really have to wait long for any of the games. I like that they have an outdoor area if you want to get fresh air. That's different from many other bars.
The drinks were ok. I tried the kill screen, dr Mario, princes peach and t&c. I couldn't really taste the peach in process peach. Dr Mario was good if you like mezcal. I think I liked kill screen the best with just a bit of kick from the jalapeno. They don't list all their cocktail options on the wall so don't forget to access their online menu using the QR code. The bar got really busy towards the end of the night but the bartenders were really patient.
I didn't use the restroom but my friend said it was clean.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 14, 2024
Nothing more nostalgic for the millennial in me like a good old arcade bar. This place gets crowded at night, but early in the day is easy playing. Trade in some cash for tokens and you have the options to play video games or pinball. They serve cocktails and beers as well. Good service, clean, and well-kept!

I would come here all the time before Covid! Need to go back this place was so cool and the video games brought back so many memories! Love the patio outside

Awesome place! By far the best selection of arcade games and pinball machines anywhere in the LA area. Great service, ambiance is on point, reasonably priced drinks and games. Will be coming here regularly.

I went here a few weeks ago. It was my first time. It is a good spot for date night, friends, or group gathering. I saw a few birthday celebrations. There's a bar inside the main game lounge. No cover, do have your id ready. There's another room that is all pin ball machines which I loved. Drinks were good and there are little trays/holders by the games to hold your drinks. it was a bit crowded on a Saturday night. There's an outdoor seating area with a cool mural of Chun Li and Blanca from street fighter; drinks aren't allowed in that area but on the other side they are. I had a lot of fun and I can't wait to go back!

I have been here a few times now with family friends and while it's not someplace I'd think to go myself I always have a good time.
Drinks are relatively cheap and the outdoor area between the two game rooms is nice and private on a warm afternoon. Quiet enough to sit and chat with friends.
The bouncers at the door are a bit intense considering this is an arcade bar. I know this is not a great area but both times they were a bit aggressive!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 3142352342Sep 26, 2023
Take me back to 1982...
So much nostalgia! This place has a bunch of oldschool arcade games and another dedicated room just for pinball games. Everything I remember from my childhood is all here and operated by tokens. From TNMT, The Simpsons, Bust a Move, to of course Street Fighter II - you're going to load up on tokens and be here all night long.
You can't beat the combo of retro games and drinks. With an outdoor area to chill, this place has a great vibe.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Sep 13, 2023
Cool barcade for date nights or simple hangout with friends. Lots of good classic arcade games. The other room is full of pinball games! Full bar with fast and friendly service.
Parking is a hit and miss. Luckily, when I went last time, we found parking right across the street from the entrance!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 2
