Absolute fun place to chill❣️ the selection of games are on point and the atmosphere is always lively. Amazing time! Great drinks, great entertainment, and a great atmosphere, I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it for a night out with friends!
in love with this arcade spot! $5 entry with unlimited games upstairs. Watching my brother and best friend play smash bros while I set Wrestle mania 13 up on their VHS player! I had a blast here and I will be back
Very cool! Lots of game choices and drink options, really great to see people out enjoying these games. Lots of consoles, pinball machines, arcade cabinets and silly stuff. We played giant block Jenga and we almost hit the ceiling. Any place that's playing a Tarantino/ Robert Rodriguez film in the background while I'm drinking and playing killer instinct is great with me.
We spent a long time deciding where to celebrate Valentine’s Day with friends and chose FreePlay Toronto Retro Arcade Bar — it was absolutely the right decision! We had so much fun playing the arcade machines, tried different games, enjoyed great music, and had a delicious meal. The atmosphere is amazing — fun, cozy, and truly welcoming. A huge thank you to manager Papa and our server Yuka for the warm hospitality and excellent service. We felt right at home! We will definitely be coming back. This was the best place and the best service!
Such a chill experience. Excellent, personable staff. All of my friends had fun, even the non-drinkers. Drink specials were pretty decent and food was not bad at all, great game selection and so much to do, you could spend a long time in here and not get bored, met some nice people as well. Immaculate vibes, everyone here is chill no mean mugging or bad attitude, just there to enjoy - couldn't have picked a better spot to spend the evening at before lock-in season. See you again in May.
