I got the feeling the staff did not want to serve me, the woman who took my order was very brusque with me and forced the card machine towards me before I even had the opportunity to pull out my cash. I used to come here all the time but definitely felt the servers’ attitude towards me change once I started wearing my Canada ball cap. Will not be returning.

Friendly crowd with a nice selection of games. Quite a few were out of order.

My girlfriend and I really liked going to this place as the atmosphere is nice and the games are fun, we’ve been there a couple of times before this experience and it was fine however tonight really put a bad taste in our mouth and we doubt we’ll be back. We ordered a few items and unfortunately only had cash (nothing under $100 bills) for an order that wasn’t very much. We know it’s annoying but as I said, that’s all we had. The woman standing at the bar gave us so much attitude over it and at first didn’t want to give us the drink we already ordered, before accepting but literally snatched the money from my hand as she took it after complaining. She then walked away shaking her head to go get our change from the back. After she returned, she threw the money down in my hand and it dropped down on the counter. She then proceeded to angrily put the rest of the bills she grabbed from the back into the register, making it very obvious she was pissed (god forbid she has to stop standing there talking to her coworker and actually do her job). She also was previously sitting on top of the island while chatting which is unprofessional and overall not sanitary. Finally, when she dropped our order off to us, we were standing at the hockey table playing the game and she didn’t say a word as she left the item behind us, whereas the man working there politely dropped off the other items and let us know. As I said, I understand we (very slightly) inconvenienced her however the way she handled the situation was completely unprofessional, uncalled for, and just extremely rude. I feel she really needs more intense training on how to politely handle customers or she shouldn’t be working in customer service at all.

I actually found AOK thanks to a wonderful person I met on Tinder! ? She ended up unmatching (which is totally fine, by the way), but at least she led me to this amazing place.✨
Today, I stopped by for a couple of Mana Potions, and let me tell you, they were absolutely delicious! ??♂️ Spent a good amount of time playing on the arcade machines too, and it was so much fun! ?️?
AOK has such a chill vibe, awesome drinks, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind. Highly recommend! ?

Ok so the place is great, the staff is awesome, yadda yadda, but the thing is, they serve all standard beers in a 16oz glass and IPAs in a 13oz glass, like wtf!?! I understand shrinkflation and all but this is beyond lame. A pint is 20oz end of discussion, some places have moved to an 18oz pint which sucks but whatever, but a 16oz is just pathetic. Do better.

A little smaller, but they got the key games you want (Mortal Combat, TMNT, 1943, pinball, bubble hockey) solid place, good date spot

GF pizza available. Eat and drink all the arcade is free for 19+ after 9pm. Or pay $8 cover charge. Tetris, Centepede, etc. Was fun.

We think this place is great! Have had fun every time we go, I enjoy the atmosphere of being around the arcade games (even if I find them so God DAMN difficult I can't play them for more than 2 minutes before rage quitting) but it is most certainly not a good choice if you're hungry. We were unable to order any food by midnight even though we would've ordered 5 pizzas. They sold us a trio of pretzels and chips that were MEGA stale.. just overall needs fixing from top to bottom as far as food program goes. Shutting down the kitchen early sucks, if you can't staff it due to it not being worth it at least incorporate toaster oven snacks the way they do it in Montreal
You'd be surprised at how many people will pay good money for a Pogo at 1:30 AM. So simple.
3.75, once the food availability is fixed it's a 4.5 easy just due to the fantastic IPA selection
Very cool little spot. Kind of tucked away but has a variety of games. The atmosphere is fun and the drink options they have are fitting to the video game world theme.

I hosted my 50th birthday party here, and it was the best in-town choice I could ever make! Wonderful chill atmosphere, great staff, and lots of room for small group conversations. They were flexible when I had to reschedule the date due to illness, and were good about answering all of my questions. We had about 35 people, and I got so many complements on the venue and that people would be back. They were fine with us bringing our own snacks, the bar was well stocked, and they played my Spotify playlist for the length of the party. Well worth the expense to not have to deal with party cleanup.
