- GRGRant RezakFeb 7, 20265.0Super cool old school arcade games pinball another cool games there's a bar inside so you can get whatever you want to drink. The night we went the Niners were playing the Seahawks so they had it on a big screen with the stage. I think they also have DJs there on certain nights. But super cool
- JVJ VJan 16, 20265.0Fun place to grab drinks and play some pool, air hockey, pinball or just relax. Its open late and it can be a good place for the after party after a concert at the Fillmore.
- NNN J (NJ)Dec 26, 20255.0Emporium Arcade Bar delivers a high-energy, neon-soaked experience that perfectly blends nostalgia with modern nightlife. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with glowing arcade cabinets, massive projection screens playing anime and retro visuals, and a soundtrack that keeps the vibe buzzing without overwhelming conversation. The bar program is impressive, offering a wide range of craft beers on tap, classic cocktails, and easygoing drinks that suit long gaming sessions. What really sets Emporium apart is its sheer scale—multiple levels, a mezzanine, and plenty of room to move without feeling cramped, even on busy nights. Classic arcade games, pinball machines, billiards, and interactive digital games create constant movement and energy throughout the space. The lighting design is immersive, with purples, blues, and pinks reflecting off graffiti-style murals and architectural curves. Staff members are efficient and friendly, keeping lines moving despite the crowd. It’s a social space where strangers bond over games, pool matches, and shared nostalgia. Whether you’re here for casual drinks or a full night out, Emporium feels intentional, playful, and visually striking. Overall, it’s an ideal destination for groups, dates, or anyone looking for something more dynamic than a standard bar.
