Be warned, you should be ready to play video games the only time you're going to play video games. Going to play some good chains but unfortunately it's a bit lackluster in the base, as in their sound system seems a bit struggle. The service here is fantastic, the video games are fun. The car just seems to be waiting for a banger beat with a bit more Bass.

This place has a cool vibe and would have been fun if there were more than two of us — we aren’t really arcade people. But we had great food and the service was good. The place definitely has a laid back vibe compared to most spots in this area. No dresses required here! The food made up for any vibe issue.

Went here and had a good time playing games. I liked that they had a few mocktails on the menu as well as alcohol.

Greta Bar is perfect for groups, it has a great energy and a fun crowd! The basement turns into a dance floor, which made the night even better. Arcade games were a bit pricey (we loaded 140 points and played around 6–8 games), so I suggest going on a Sunday for the $5/hour unlimited games. Beers and cocktails were reasonably priced, and the overall vibe was lively and well-designed. Definitely a good time!

I went here for a company party on a Saturday evening. Great time. Service was great. Lots of games to play. Pinball is downstairs. Plenty of tvs to stay updated on the hockey playoffs. Was not a big fan of the music, but I'm not 20 years old, so it's probably stuff the younger kids like. I would definitely recommend this place for a company gathering. Drinks were a bit pricey, but again, as someone who rarely goes downtown to the bars, the prices are most likely the same. Good times here.
