Emporium Arcade Bar is a spacious venue featuring a wide variety of pinball machines and arcade games such as Crazy Taxi, Mortal Kombat, Smash TV, Pacman, Frogger, and Donkey Kong. The bar offers drinks, with Pabst beer priced at $5, and there is a food cart serving delicious brisket sliders. The atmosphere is lively, with a full bar, DJ music, and a vibrant crowd. Customers often praise the friendly service, especially from staff like Ivan, who makes guests feel at home. The venue has an extensive drink menu and a unique darkened barcade setting with little gold coins as currency, making it a fun experience. However, parking can be challenging, and the venue is not kid-friendly. Some visitors have noted issues with arcade machine maintenance and staff attitude, but overall, many recommend returning, especially on weekends when the place is busier. The arcade mostly features pinball, pool, foosball, and air hockey, so those seeking classic arcade games might want to look elsewhere.
