Games are so unique and well chosen, staff is friendly and helpful, and Serena was the best bartender :) she is so sweet and made our night that much better with a delicious Ube slushie! Thank you Arcade Monsters!
I went Friday and Saturday night. It was so much fun my son wanted to go back. I didn’t have a problem with it. I had fun too. The unlimited games are golden. I wish they had more cool places like this.
10/10 experience. We celebrated my son’s 10th birthday here & everyone had such a great time. Even the parents! Staff was so helpful and attentive. Our party reservation room was on the second floor, and security walked our arriving guests to the room every time which I really appreciated. You cannot bring in your own food (besides dessert) but honestly ordering the food here made the party stress free and easy. We ordered the whole pizzas and they were made so quickly. Loved the individually plastic sealed water cups, especially for the kids. Adults just purchased beer or other drinks as needed. Again, I HIGHLY recommend this place. I wish I got the names of the staff who assisted us because they were truly so sweet & helpful. Thank you again to the Arcade Monsters staff who assisted us during our party. ❤️
This is my second time returning to San Diego, I’d never been to Arcade monsters. Typically most arcades have boring games and are usually small. When I stepped in I was not expecting the varieties of games and how massive this place is. I was able to play super smash bros and I hadn’t played that in forever. Brought back some awesome memories! So worth it! Staff is amazing and friendly ! Thank you everyone at Arcade monsters!
This place is really great, especially considering the price you pay — it's unlimited and all-you-can-play with no time limit. It’s a two-story arcade filled with games; while most are older titles, it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy some time. The music can be a bit loud, and the venue might get crowded at times. Seating options are limited, with only a few small tables available. Although there is an elevator, I wouldn’t consider this place wheelchair accessible. They also have a bar offering food, drinks, and alcohol. The dress code is very relaxed, suitable even if you have little ones. Overall, it’s a good place to spend hours indoors.
