Don’t usually review but this was my first (and last) time here on the weekend. The bar staff are rude and unpleasant. There’s a lot better places on dundas to go. Pizza tasted microwaved also. Judging by the other reviews of the staff it’s clear nothing will change.

Used to be so much better back in the day. Bartenders get annoyed when you ask for a drink lol. Not worth it and definitely a lot more exciting places in the neighbourhood with friendly service.

I celebrated my birthday over there. Excellent bar. Cozy and friendly vibes. Pizza service is a must, they are delicious (vegan and veggie options). I fully recommend this bar.
One of the Bartenders here is actually so rude, making it not a welcoming environment. Doesn't say Hi just kinda looks at you like you're bothering her. Clearly seems she has favourites. Not a good way to treat your customers.... Will not be going back because of her/them

Cool place with awesome people. Get Well is chill hang out spot with classic arcades and fresh oven made pizza. The prices are slightly above than what we expected but with inflation and all that's going on, we can say that the prices are still fair. If you haven't been to this place, we highly recommend. We will definitely be back soon!

This is a cool Bar with pizza and a few arcade machines, but not an Arcade Bar. Game highlights: The Simpsons, Donkey Kong, Ms. Pacman (not 100% functional),
Great spot on Dundas - although they never have the vegan pizza (as advertised) and won't make a pie even when there are multiple people asking! Chances are 1 in 10 that you'll get a slice. Otherwise cool vibes but often disappointed.

The bar staff told us to be quiet. A group of 15 people that had been buying drinks for 2 hours and they told us to be quiet when we are the only customer in the bar. Such rude staff.

Awesome arcade and bar that serves some of the best pizza! Old school game selection and love the nostalgic feel of the place. Great place yo meet up with friends!
Their food idea is spot on with delicious pizza slices. Their drinks are fairly priced and have some great craft spritzers. My only complaint is that there are no servers which is kinda weird cause there are tables. But you have to go up to the bar if you need anything and it gets quite busy and hard to get a drink so I ended the night with only 2 and I went for 10. lol. Also only 4 out of 10 of their arcade games work so if you’re going for those, there are better places to go. All and all, we had a decent time.

It was a Friday night like any other, slightly humid from the earlier rainstorm. I walked down Dundas heading eastward, passing through the clouds of smokers, under the warm glow of patio lanterns and street lamps. I was heading for the streetcar stop on the corner of Dundas and Ossington, when walking past one of the bars I caught scent of the most magnificent earthy aroma to ever grace my nose.
I made eye contact with the doorman, tipping my cap. He nodded at me, giving me an affirmative signal to enter. I stepped into the bar and found myself under a rainbow of glowing glass, serenaded by the longing voice of David Berman, and the crack of pinball flippers. It was like entering a dreamscape. I had to ground myself in something familiar, as to not get overwhelmed, so I headed for Ms Pac-Man.
I reached into my pocket, digging for loose change. To my disbelief, I was dry, having spent the last of my quarters doing laundry earlier that afternoon. All of a sudden one of the bartenders appears on my left, reaches down to the machine, and with a gleam of charity and joy in their eye announces “All of the games are free to play”, and the whole bar cheered and raised a toast. (Except pinball which I was alerted costs $1 which seems perfectly reasonable to be fair)
I maneuvered the lovely puck shaped lady around, making a few simple errors, missing a cherry, or a peach, and getting cornered by Blinky, Pinky, and the lot. I ordered a beer to help settle my nerves, pressing the ice cold bottle of Miller High Life to my lips. The crisp, perfectly chilled beer awoken something deep inside of me. I returned to the arcade machine, pressing the start button one final time.
With my hand firmly grasping the joystick, and my Miller High Life clutched in the other, I danced around the screen with the grace of a thousand swans. I never missed a fruit, swerving in and out of the neon laneways. By the 20th level, I had amassed something of a crowd of spectators. They were all silent during levels, only breaking to clap during the between stage cutscenes. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, I had reached the final 32nd level, and with the keen skill of a veteran fighter pilot, I shifted my way to victory. When Ms Pac-Man gobbled the last pellet, a roar from the crowd erupted. I shed a single tear and bowed towards my faithful supporters.
By now I had a grumbling in my stomach, the likes of which could only be satisfied by the sweet ambrosiac smell that had lured me into the bar in the first place. I made my way to the back, my rosy face glowing in the light of the bulbs spelling out my destiny, “PIZZA”. Standing in the window was a cheery fellow, hair tucked neatly back behind a bandana. He had just taken a pizza out of the oven, I watched it shine in the kitchen lights, steaming and releasing a sweet earthy aroma. I told the man that I would have a slice of whatever that was, he nodded, punching the order into the cash register. He smiled with a profound innocence and joy about him, like the Santa Claus of pizza, asking that I kindly wait to the side, and that he would have my order out momentarily.
I took my slice back to an isolated table in the corner where I could reflect upon the beautiful night I’d had so far. The first bite was heaven, the way the creamy goat cheese danced with the earthy portobello mushroom, only followed by the sultry tango of peppery arugula, and finished by a sweet cry of balsamic glaze. Every bite followed was no less magnificent.
I finished my slice, unable to speak, unable to find the words that would describe the beauty of what I had just consumed. I locked eyes with the pizza man, giving a simple wave and made my way through the crowd to the exit. I wished the doorman a goodnight, and stepped out into the crowded streets.
good prices and fun vibes. arcade games are cute and vintage. pizza is a window so no guaranteed seat.
Always a good spot for a pint with friends
