I had such a great time at Game Arena in Columbus! The atmosphere is clean, vibrant, and perfectly set up for an awesome gaming session. The racing game setup was definitely a highlight—super immersive and a blast to play. Beyond the games, the food is surprisingly great! You have to try the tofu burritos from TaKorea inside—flavorful, hearty, and a perfect gaming fuel. The bar selection, including the excellent draft beer options, really rounds out the experience. What truly makes this place shine, though, is the team. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, making everyone feel welcome. If you're looking for a top-tier gaming lounge with great eats and drinks, Game Arena is the place!

Our experience using 2 PC systems + buying $50+ in food & drinks: - Both our PC systems were riddled with system errors, crashes and non-installed games. - Fixing our PCs took a combined 30+ minutes to repair. - Bartending staff was unengaged. - Kind gaming staff, always wanting to help and watching the floor actively. - Food was enjoyable and came out quick. - Console gaming is probably a plus, but the PC software is buggy. All in all; probably not coming back. Cool concept tho, and maybe with a different system it’ll be better.

Came back and got the Bulgogi and Kimchi quesadilla again. Always great. The bartender was great at her job and the bar area in general spawned plenty of chatter about games with everyone seated there. The atmosphere here is incredible

If you're in the columbus area, this is pretty slick! My brother knows some people in the business, and he brought me here and man, it's a great place to bring a few friends for a while. They have a bar with different all sorts of stuff you wouldn't really see playing on the TVs at different bars. Great atmosphere with like at least 70 Pcs set up. They have a couple racing Sims a handful of xbox/PS/nintendo consoles and a an outdoor patio that's in like a chill alley with a nice ambiance at night. Great place to meet new people. A couple bathrooms and one that's like a "family bathroom" with more privacy. On God 10/10 will go again

First time coming in and definitely glad we stopped by to check it out. The prices for the game times and food are both really good. We really enjoyed our meal, and the float really good too. More geared towards PC gamers but im sure their console collection will grow with time. The staff was super helpful and welcoming. And it was very chill and not crowded on a Wednesday night. Will come back again
