Retro Game - Portland

We got there shortly after opening, and by 6:30 it was pretty busy.The game selection is top tier, the drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in the coolest basement from back in '97.When you go, you know:Now you 're playing, with Power.

I just had a party here last night in their private party room, and it was such a wonderful experience! The staff were fantastic, the food was great, and the private room was so much quieter than the rest of the bar. In fact I could barely hear the rest of the very packed bar from in there. And at only $30 an hour for the room, it felt like quite a deal, especially for guaranteed space in the bar. My friends and I all had an amazing time. I will say that if you go on a Friday night, you should expect lines for food and drinks, but the lines move fairly quickly. I highly recommend you check this bar out, and if you have a small party you’re planning on, I would suggest renting the room, as it’s such a fun, chill experience in there!Vegetarian options: I am not vegetarian or vegan, but I saw they have a few vegan options, and some have the option to add meat, seitan or egg. I got the Yoshisoba, which starts vegan, but I added stuff. It was delicious, and would have been even left vegan.Parking: They have a parking lot there, but there’s not a ton of spaces. However it also seemed like half the lot was blocked off because of the way people parked. Maybe I’m wrong and that half isn’t part of it the bar’s lot?Dietary restrictions: They have some gluten free options, some vegan options, and some are both vegan and gluten free.

Went as a group of 4 on a Monday night. Had a blast. Lots of games readily available for a small fee. Nice little nostalgia hit. Love that they have nicely curated zero-proof beverages available. The staff was so nice and helpful too. Highly recommend! A+

Super disappointed. We looked up places to go before we went out today and had all agreed on this place because we all love to game. We got there and were extremely disappointed. It is an extremely cool concept but don't expect to get a table at any point if you get there later. We went after a personal sporting event(aka rec league game) and there were no tables. We took our time went out to the back had a couple drinks waited it out but never got a chance to play anything. I don't blame the customers if I got a table I wouldn't get up either but that just means if you come in don't expect to get a table later. Also unfortunately when we walked in we weren't greeted the friendliest, to the point where the bartender even apologized to us for how he initially treated us. Overall just extremely disappointed especially with how excited we were to try it. Very unfortunate.

Easily one of the coolest bars i've been to, for many reasons, but primarily their extremely unique atmosphere. Instead of board games or arcade machines, they made it unique and went for actual video games. You can use classic systems or the brand new ones, and there is a wide selection. You can get reasonably priced drinks that taste great here, and they have fantastic Ramen. A place to go for any nerd or someone feeling nostalgic.
