This arcade bar is a hidden gem in downtown London. For a $7 entry fee, you get unlimited access to over 80 classic arcade games, from timeless favorites to hidden gems. The atmosphere is lively, with a fully stocked bar offering a variety of refreshing drinks. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a great spot to spend an evening with friends. However, during peak hours, it can get quite busy, so planning your visit accordingly is recommended. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to relive childhood memories and discover new favorites.

I've been several times now to Tilt. It's probably the best arcade in the city, lots of great games to choose from and the pub fare is tasty, although, I can't in good faith give it above a 3 star rating at the moment. Many of their games are in disrepair (about 5 or 6 were turned off/out of order when I visited on Saturday evening) with some games being available but completely unplayable due to broken buttons and levers (Simpsons 4 player beat em up only Player 1's inputs work, Galaga has no up and down axis on the lever and the shoot button barely responds, Gauntlet's screen is scaled considerably larger than the border of the cabinet frame, the Neo Geo is barely playable due to the CRT inside dying, etc)

I'm not sure if they do maintenance on their machines on a regular basis, and I apologize if I just got unlucky on the night, but yeah, hard to have fun playing games when half of the time is spent testing the inputs to see if the game is even playable. All told, it's good value otherwise, especially if you want to play pinball or the consoles.

As a retro game fan, I'm definitely going back to this place.

It's just an entrance fee (entry ticket).
After that, you can play any game unlimited times without paying separately. We went around 6.00 pm and spent like 4 hours.

We didn't try any food but we got lots of drinks while playing some games.
(FYI: Alcohol options are available 😁)

On top of that, they've some games that can play with your friends.
THAT'S FUN PART, BTW. πŸ˜­πŸ€£πŸ‘Ύ

I generally love coming here however we ordered loaded fries today no green onion. When we got our food I found mine was loaded with green onion. I mentioned it to the man at the counter with dark hair and glasses and was told we never mentioned no green onion. I was told he could fix it however we would need to pay for it all over again.

Lots of cool games it's unfortunate Soo many are broken and don't work. Great idea poorly maintained and executed. The 7 dollar cash only at the door is not for your benefit it's so they get tax free money. Will not go again

Cool concept, but the controls for the games are not up-kept, 1.in 10 games kinda work, owner needs to invest in fixing the games. Missing ball for for skeet ball.

We had so much fun! Food was very yummy. It was extra busy due to a couple birthday party's. I would highly recommend lockers/coat section. It was very hard to find a spot to eat since everyone had placed their bags and coats in the booths while they played. Bathroom and booths could definitely use a good cleaning. Overall it was a great time!!

The burgers (meat and vegetarian) were delicious and the venue is adorable and well decorated. If you are a pinball or video game connoisseur, this may not be for you as the machines were very poorly maintained... But if you're if you're just there to goof around, you'll have a great time.

This place is a very cool concept, and I wish that my expectations (which were high) would have been met with results.

The games were free play β€” but unfortunately they only have 4-5 booths with NES games and a limited selection of games people would like to play. These are hogged by people all night β€” or do not work, take your pick.

Chris was the bartender/server when we came in. Nice enough when we first talked to him and put in our order. Unfortunately, when I got my order of poutine, the fries were cold. Bottom of the paper plate was steaming hot, like it had been microwaved.

Sent this back & Alex who is one of their runners/cooks brought it out again β€” not realizing I was behind him β€” talking garbage about me and me sending it back. No way am I eating that food after that happens.

Overall β€” cool concept. Horrible implementation & even worse bar staff. Chris & Alex should find another line of work if they are as miserable as they portray themselves to their customers.

Dietary restrictions: If you eat strictly cold food β€” great for your diet

Parking: Paid parking

Kid-friendliness: Would not recommend bringing a child here

This place is great! The games are old and it's a challenge to figure out how to play them. Only complaints are that there needs to be more cup holders around and that the music is way too loud at night.
