2 storied retro arcade bar. Nice cozy place. I visited the place on a sunday night and it was $5 entry fees (CASH ONLY). The games on the ground floor were chargeable but the games on the the upper deck were free . There were small tables with retro console and some had games from different consoles. It was fun the bar was decent as well.

Lots of fun! I went at around 6pm so it only costs $5. They could easily charge way more. Not crazy crowds so we got to try every game they had. The GameCubes upstairs was a really nice touch. Go check it out!!

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.

This place is an absolute gem, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! A few of my friends and I celebrated my birthday here. I booked it over email with Sam the manager, who was insanely helpful and accommodating through the whole process. The staff that work here are some fantastic people, special shoutout to Dapo, Julian and Yuki, who were all so personable and welcoming, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and our night seamless, fun and memorable. The games are a lot of fun, a really wide variety with all the vintage classics like Tetris and Mario and a bunch of more modern ones! We had a lot of fun playing shooters like Target: Terror and The House of the Dead 2. The night we visited happened to be their Rock Band night. The DJ was so fun and helpful as most of us were newbies! I had a lot of fun sucking at this game 😂 Everyone also loved the music played throughout the night, lots of nostalgic hits.

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!
