Midnight Arcade

I spent the New Year's Eve here with friends and all I gotta say it's that it was amazing!!! Cheap cover, free snacks (pizza, wings, shrimp, etc), DJ played good music, they handed free champagne for the countdown, there is a variety of arcade games that are fun to play with friends, the staff is very friendly, and overall the vibes were super fun. Highly recommended and I will probably repeat for next year!

If you are looking for a place that has a very 80s/90s vibe then this place is a must-visit! Located in the heart of Kensington Market, Midnight Arcade is an asian inspired bar/club that is not what you expect! The entrance might be deceiving but trust me once you step into the door it transports you back in time. A staircase with floral wallpaper leads you to the 2nd level where you will be greeted with neon lights, sick music but more importantly it will remind you of a quaint bar in Asia. Literally so many stunning nooks to sit and chill with your friends. The seating options are far too many, which I personally loved! We went there for a date night and chose to sit at one of the booths. So cozy and yet so comfortable. We went there around 7:30ish so entry was free on weekends but if you were to go post 10pm there is a DJ on the weekends + $5 cover charge BUT the best part is all the arcade games are free to play! Now that so cool, no? . . . 🍸Cocktails - Both the cocktails were absolutely bomb.comm! Breath of the Wild (the purple one) & Spicy Peach - $15 each. 🍽️ Food - The appetizers are all under $10 (which I personally thought was super cheap!) but they slapped so hard!! Jalapeño Poppers were probably the biggest I’ve ever had (they were massive), filled with breaded jalapeño stuffed with nem nuong (pork sausage) and cheese. Bonito Tofu was the best Tofu I’ve had in my life (no kidding), smooth and velvety tofu with mayo and onomaki sauce, topped with dried baby shrimp and bonito flakes & Hash Sticks were absolutely smacking. I can’t emphasis how delish these were! Now as for the mains they only do Detroit Style Pizzas and we ordered the Red Curry Pizza & Nem Nuong Pizza, these were packed with fresh ingredients but super huge for $25! But the best part is the pizzas are 50% off from 6pm to 9pm. Every single day!!! WHAT! 🫶🏽- Service for a bar/club was 10/10! Special shoutout to Brain, Jo, Caitlin & John for being super kind and amazing!! I believe that people make a place and they surely do make your visit extra special <3 🎮 - there are bunch of arcade games to choose from, from racing cars to basket ball, honestly you would find something for everyone here! & the best part is they are all FREE! The only exception is a Photo Booth where the charge to use is only $1! Like what!!! Thats nothing, eh?
. . . 📣 - WEEKLYSPECIALS ✔️Wednesday - $20 Soju Bottles + $6 SAPPORO Draft ✔️Thursday - $5 Rail Shots, $6.50 Rail Mix, $6 White Claws ✔️Sunday - $5 Sapporo Bottle + $6 Tequila 🚨50% Off Pizzas Everyday from 6p to 9pm!

Playing hits, EDM, R&b style mix. Worth checking out. Not big, but also not over crowded. Free parking on Dundas street after 9pm makes this easily accessible.

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.

I haven’t been here since the change and renovations from the days of the Boat. They did an amazing job, it looks amazing and I’m really feeling the new vibe and energy. I had the perfect Sunday evening. Great laughs, conversations, played video games and great delicious pillowy cheesy pizza. The bartender Cal really gave us a great experience and made us feel at home.

I came here on an off day with my friends and this is easily one of the Midnight Series most artistic locations. You can definitely tell from walking around the amount of work they put into the interior design of this location. Add in the well-priced food & drinks and plenty of room for you and your friends to enjoy and you can already tell this location is going to be a future hit! Right now they’re open from 6pm-2am from Thursday to Sunday and they have music playing all night!
