      Emporium Arcade Bar delivers a high-energy, neon-soaked experience that perfectly blends nostalgia with modern nightlife. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with glowing arcade cabinets, massive projection screens playing anime and retro visuals, and a soundtrack that keeps the vibe buzzing without overwhelming conversation. The bar program is impressive, offering a wide range of craft beers on tap, classic cocktails, and easygoing drinks that suit long gaming sessions. What really sets Emporium apart is its sheer scale—multiple levels, a mezzanine, and plenty of room to move without feeling cramped, even on busy nights. Classic arcade games, pinball machines, billiards, and interactive digital games create constant movement and energy throughout the space. The lighting design is immersive, with purples, blues, and pinks reflecting off graffiti-style murals and architectural curves. Staff members are efficient and friendly, keeping lines moving despite the crowd. It’s a social space where strangers bond over games, pool matches, and shared nostalgia. Whether you’re here for casual drinks or a full night out, Emporium feels intentional, playful, and visually striking. Overall, it’s an ideal destination for groups, dates, or anyone looking for something more dynamic than a standard bar.

      Super cool old school arcade games pinball another cool games there's a bar inside so you can get whatever you want to drink. The night we went the Niners were playing the Seahawks so they had it on a big screen with the stage. I think they also have DJs there on certain nights. But super cool

      Visited on a Friday night around 10pm. Easy to get in, was carded at the door. Im over 50 guess I look young, lol. Could hear the base bumping at the door, as you walk it there it was a DJ on stage playing the throwbacks! I should of took more pictures. This place was a blast 3 floors of fun! A great variety of arcade games really old school games. I confirmed I still have the touch placing high score, lol! I didnt eat there but the bar service was great friendly and fast.

      The games were really old and there were very few up to date games to play. It was fun playing classics like Skee Ball,Ms.Pac Man, Galaga, Time Crisis, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and pin ball machines. There were multiple pool tables and the bar had friendly and fast service. It would have been nice to have more mocktails available and food for people who don't drink. Make sure you come with friends to play with or it's boring. Almost every game costs a dollar to play so it gets pretty expensive.

      Went here for a work event, had a private area, the service was great, I didn't have anything to eat, drinks were tasty! My only issue with this place was how loud it was, even 3 stories up in a private section far away from everything we still had to tell at each other to be heard. Great selection of arcade and pinball games! Sad the DDR machine pad wasn't really working :(
