Midnight Arcade

This is one of my favourite places in Toronto and I think it’s the perfect date location for couples. They have a really unique menu at reasonable prices, a bunch of free arcade games to play, and the atmosphere is incredible. You wouldn’t think it would be so beautiful based on the exterior of the building, but once you’re inside, it is stunning. My boyfriend and I accidentally stumbled upon this place and now we suggested to friends all the time!

Great place to hang out, have a bite, and play a couple games! It only has about a third of the amount of games you would find in other arcade bars downtown, but there's no additional cover charge here for freeplay games. Therefore, the food is more of a focus here than in the other arcade bars. Smoked Duck Pizza: - the bottom crust was a little thicker than I anticipated - the flavour of the duck kind of got drowned out under the sauce - almost too much arugula Kimchi Mac & Cheese: - very savoury and creamy, with just a hint of tanginess from the kimchi - very small portion, makes sense at the happy hour price of $5 but not at the regular $11 price Coconut Shrimp: - breading had a strong coconut flavour but was quite hard - loved the sweet pineapple sauce it comes with I think if you come during happy hour (6-9pm every day), where they have 50% off pizzas and many other items discounted, it's very worth it. Outside of that, and/or if you want more retro consoles or pinball machines, you'd be better off going to Freeplay or Tilt. Although, this place is cleaner, cooler, more spacious, and less busy. There also seems to have frequent events and DJ sessions here so it's a fun vibe!

Had my 19th birthday there and it was amazing! The bartender was so nice and welcoming, the food and drinks were delicious and the games were very fun. Lots to choose from.

Very fun arcade games. And a really cool happy hour menu. The chicken wings in particular were very tasty

February 2025 update: dropped by to unwind and have some dinner. We got the nem nuong & pineapple pizza and salt and pepper wings. This particular pizza wasn't my fave because I didn't really get nem nuong flavour in itself and the overall mix of ingredients had a strange off flavour to me. That said, that's just my own flavour preference. Wings were hot and yummy. It was quiet when we went so we could play the games freely. ~~~ Had a good night here with friends. Service was a bit slow at our table and we had to go to the bar to make orders throughout the night. The pizza and hash brown fries were really good. Good vibes and music but some of the games weren't working.
