Security could’ve been nicer. Maps says they close at 2 am they actually stop accepting people at 1 am. We were 10 min off because we had went to the wrong emporium and we were celebrating a friends birthday but got turned away at the door. Make sure to get there before 1 am ppl ?
Edit: I’ve also seen that a lot of comments about the security get the same replies and constant “we’ll talk about it with our security team” but they keep getting negative reviews just based of security ??♀️ do with that what you will.

This place has a small weak selection of Arcade cabinets, more than half the games I tried to play wouldn't accept tokens or had broken controls. Mediocre all around

Games need to be maintenance half of the good arcades joysticks dont work went there 2 separate occasions and both times the same issues which leads me to believe that they don't maintain their arcade machines
Emporium Arcade Bar is primarily known for its games and drinks but I visited for a quick meeting with a friend after a long day. Feeling exhausted and hungry, I was surprised to find a food cart inside. The brisket sliders were delicious. The place is vibrant with a full bar and arcade games like Crazy Taxi, Mortal Kombat, Smash TV, Pacman, Frogger, Donkey Kong, and more.

This place has great energy, drink options, and a ton of games from classic arcade to modern point and shoot games and everything in between. Whether you looking to kill some time enjoying music and playing air hockey or drinking and attempting to get the high score on Indiana Jones, you'll have a great time here.

I really like going there but today 03/07 for the first time a guy with a hat served me at the bar today I don't know who he is but he was very upset by the fact that I don't understand very well the little English I have and that's bad, It made me feel bad and I hope it doesn't happen again, I should learn to treat people and have a little patience, the service was terrible, super bad attitude

Great beer catalog and decent game collection. Had good fun with my friends. Tokens are cheap.

About all you could ask from an arcade bar—plethora of games, reasonable drink prices, dope atmosphere.

As a gentlemen the guy who was with our group was going to let the women order first &' once he pointed at 1 of the women to order the bartender completely smacked his lips &' walked away &' completely ignored us.
At this point we felt completely racial profiled as it was the week of the puerto rican festival in that area.
The bartender looked completely wired &' as for the guy in our group; he should have never been treated the way he did. We asked to speak to the Manager on shift &' she did nothing but obied into the rude behavior of her staff. For the ammount of money we waisted there the service should have been way better. Eye contact should have been bettee &' as a manager when you speak to a customer you should always show proffessionalism &' never rolled your eyes at any conversation whats so ever.
A really great arcade bar! The service is absolutely wonderful and the atmosphere is great! The only thing they're missing is

Great atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks and tokens for games are fair. Highly recommend as a hangout or date night after dinner
Only posting a review cause other people have made the same point- bartender girl with the black hair came at me for not tipping, little did she know I wasn’t on my last drink and I tend to just tip at the end even though I close out each tab for safety purposes. Was extremely rude and out of no where. Mind you drinks are $12+. Maybe don’t tell customers they won’t want to be served if they don’t tip, cause now I’m really not tipping. Lol.

Pretty sweet spot with LOTS of room and lots of things to do. There's tons of pinball machines and arcades and drinks.They don't have beer on tap but a Pabst is only $5 which is pretty reasonable.
Parking: Hard to find free spots.
Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.
