Checker bar and arcade is one of my personal favorite spots in all of Detroit. With so many different and delicious food options it's a great place to stop for dinner, drinks and fun upstairs in the arcade. The arcade has tons of different options of games. Parking lot was available next to the building. They were 21 and up on Saturday night. But didn't check id's at the door on other days I have been. Great spot to stop!!
Always a great time to visit one of my best breakfast spots. Food is always on point. Service is great even on a busy day they still make sure u are served well. Thanks again. We had the apple walnut stuffed French toast it was amazing, nit too sweet but just enough, the triple triple is absolutely delicious bacon ham sausage cheddar swiss and jack what else could u ask for. It's like heaven in ir mouth and a side order of pancakes. U will leave satisfied. I may go back tomorrow. Thanks again.
This place is cool. Bring cash or change with you to play. Pizza is pretty good. Fun time for a hang out
First thing to know about POP + Offworld Arcade is that it's upstairs from the Checker Bar. There's a great collection of classic arcade machines all fairly well maintained. The space is well lit during the day and I felt completely comfortable bringing my 10 year with for a mid-Sunday visit. The menu consists of pretty classic bar fare including NY style pizza by the slice as well as a few other standouts like the roasted wings. Service was incredibly friendly and we'd gladly go back anytime.
This place is great for date night or quality time with friends. The pizza was delicious and they had great vegan and vegetarian options. In addition to the great food, drinks, and video games, they had karaoke on Thursday night.

Detroit's ultimate spot for craft drinks, classic arcade games, and delicious eats under one roof.
