Arcade Monsters is the best arcade in the state, and this location is the best Arcade Monsters of them all. There is so much space, even at the height of the crowd, you can find a fun game to play. You can break down your day into categories of games. We had a pinball segment, a shooting one, sports, old school arcade, Mario Kart on the Switch 2 dart, it just went on forever. It could have kept going, but we had dinner reservations to keep. Ambiance is absolutely awesome. Brilliant, electric murals cover every single inch of space. There isn't any blankness on any wall, not even in the restroom. It's wild, and it's great. There's some food options, but it's like, dumb stuff for kids. Pizza, chicken tenders, etc. So if you want to spend a whole day here, get the pass that lets you leave and come back. Unless you're into frozen nuggets. The drink game is strong, though. They have a ton of mixers that are delicious on their own, and can be mixed with some booze, too, if you'd like. Overall, there is all positives here and no negatives. I come to Monsters pretty often, and I suspect I will forever more. read more

Pros: Every single inch of wall of this place is plastered with absolutely stunning murals of all fandoms one could think of. Also, every square foot of floor space is crammed with wonderful and fun arcade games that will keep you busy for hours. We were there for literally six hours and only had to go for our dinner reservations. They have a nice little selection of beers, and a really nice selection of sweet slushy bases you can add harder liquor to. Really good bar. Cons: No real cons. Some would say the price, but for what you're getting here, I would think the price very reasonable. Tips: Arrive early, because during peak hours, this place can get really packed and it can get hard to find a free game. read more

I walked into Arcade Monsters - 6362 International Drive and immediately felt my inner 12-year-old sprint past my adult responsibilities, flip them off, and dive headfirst into 1987. This place is not an arcade. It's an all-you-can-play, quarter-free, neon-lit time machine--and thank God--because if I had to feed this thing fistfuls of quarters like we did in the Reagan era, I'd need a second mortgage and a therapist. You're greeted at the door, stamped like you're entering a punk show or an underground fight club, and suddenly--boom--you're in. No coins. No timers. No nickel-and-diming. Just pure, uncut joystick freedom. Capitalism takes a smoke break and joy runs the room. Let's talk history for a second--because this matters. Arcades were the cathedrals of the 1980s. Dark rooms, glowing screens, electronic music buzzing like a bad decision. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong--these weren't games, they were rites of passage. You learned patience, rage control, and humility watching your name slide off the high-score list five minutes after you set it. Arcade Monsters resurrects that world--but without the cruelty of quarters. Air hockey tables slapping louder than bar arguments. Zoltar staring into your soul like he knows what you did in 1994. Pac-Man chomping away like rent is due. Japanese cabinets you've never seen outside of Tokyo or YouTube rabbit holes--beautiful, strange, and completely unforgiving. And yes--everything is here. The classics. The weird stuff. The "how is this even a game?" stuff. Pinball. Fighters. Rhythm games. Cabinets that smell like nostalgia and Mountain Dew. The vibe? Chaotic. Loud. Joyful. Slightly unhinged. The crowd ranges from nostalgia-drunk Gen-Xers reliving their glory days, to kids discovering that fun existed before microtransactions ruined everything, to grown adults locked in mortal Kombat combat like honor is on the line. And the entrance? Let's just say you're welcomed in with confidence and spectacle, like the place knows exactly what it is--and isn't apologizing for it. You're stamped, you're in, and the night belongs to you. There is food also. No need to leave. I was the only one pulling out my phone at this nightclub. It made the atmosphere just that much nicer to plug and unplug. read more

Went for the first time during mega con weekend so didn't get to experience much of it due to the crowds. Did try out a s'mores drink from the bar not only was it delicious but affordable as well. Would love to go back to enjoy the arcade and play more games but overall great experience read more

Came here on a cute little date night and this place is actually pretty cool. A lot of cool retro games aswell as others. Service was pretty cool, and they even got food and drinks as well as some cool vending machines with trinkets to get. read more

I decided to try out the arcade monsters on international Drive as a small birthday celebration with friends. They claim that this location is the largest- perhaps in square footage? They have really high ceilings and to me this made the building a little bit warmer than I would've liked. They have the high-movement/ dance/ rhythm games towards the back with lower ceilings, making it even warmer. We saw on their website there was an option to reserve a table. we thought this made a lot of sense just to make sure that our friends had a space to sit down. They only let you reserve for a few hours at a time for about $25. I think it makes a lot of sense if you are a larger group and you're planning on purchasing food at the venue. They did clarify that you were able to bring in a celebrate dessert- but no other outside food was allowed. They have a bunch of high tops scattered there are the building. Maybe it just happened to be the time that we were there, but I don't think that reserving a table for us was necessarily beneficial. Overall, everything was clean. Tables and stations had hand sanitizers that people could use. They have a large offering of drink drinks as well and almost every game has a place for where you can put your drink down safely. It was a great time for novice and advanced gamers. read more

Such a fun place. From the wall art to all the arcade games. This place has it all. They have a small food and drinks area. We tried the chicken tenders with 5 different dipping sauces and they were surprisingly good. They have a small selection of beers a frozen drinks which is nice.

This is mostly a pinball review, that's what I came here to do. Found on pinball maps, perhaps I should have looked more closely about game conditions. Did read on Yelp that the machines were, lets say well used. There is one row with two sides of machines about 26 total. There was a technician working on Kong, several others had out of service signs. Jaws left flipper was broken. Other machines had minor glitches but very playable. John Wick, Bond, Foo Fighters were working well. I played a few more favorites so def got my monies worth at $25 plus tax and tip, yup there was a tip scren option on CC machine. No problem, throw the hostess a couple. They did have a lot of retro games Donky Kong, Frogger, Ms P , centipede. Those were fun, nostalgic and frustrating how hard they are now vs when you were a kid and could Rip Def had some fun , new & big video games /multi player racers in several varieties, many being played by a group. The punching bag was super popular, but right in the way of moving around. Same thing with the dart board. Restroom was clean Food & Drinks available. Pretty dark inside at least for the darker pinball games made it hard to see with old man eyes. The younger crowd was having a blast playing a wide variety of options. Probably a star upgrade if i wasn't specifically looking for pinball to be fair. read more

Everything is free play once u pay $25 to enter. It's $35 for in and outs! I recommend this place 100% There's alcoholic beverages and snacks (cheese fries, pizza, chicken strips, like little type snacks like that) and you can do frozen drinks without alcohol and they have non alcoholic beverages too. This place is fun for the whole family or a date night or anything! Its black light vibes and almost any game you can think of. They do have vending machines for an extra price and I saw a Photo Booth. The service is great too! There's not really prizes like at a chuckee cheese so don't expect that. But it's great! read more

Pretty fun arcade with lots of games! Admission is $25 per person to play unlimited games. They had good drink flavors. I tried the blue raspberry slushie with a double shot and it was sweet and strong. The All Hallows Treat imperial chocolate peanut butter stout was delicious! Even though the drinks were decently priced, I didn't like that there was a service charge of 2.2%. I don't recommend getting the jello shots since they were basically liquid and pre-packaged. There was pinball, skee-ball, racing games, Super Smash Bros, and many others games. They also had three pool tables and several air hockey tables. Fun place to go with friends or for a date night! read more

I was shocked walking into this arcade at how big it was because arcades are usually on the smaller side. The inside is so cool! It's dark, with neon graffiti and murals of characters creating a feeling that you are in a 80's yet modern arcade. There was a huge variety of games and even a back room with at least 10 music/dance specific games. They had Super Smash Bros, basketball, skeeball, vehicle motion games, an abundance of racing games, several pool tables, several air hockey tables, shooting games, vintage game machines and pinball machines. There was also a small claw machine room. This place is huge and has everything! After 2 hours, I still felt like I hadn't played everything. For drinks I had a Jell-O shot but it was pre-packaged, spilled a lot when opened, and not fully solid. The custom drink menu, however, is a great idea to allow people to try different drink combinations and they offer each flavor in a regular cocktail form or frozen form. They also give you the option to make your drink a single, double or triple for an added price. I had two frozen drinks. For both drinks I got doubles and it was worth it because they were both perfectly strong and not too expensive. They were slightly too sweet but still had good flavor and got the job done. Lastly, I love that this arcade was very LGBTQ+ friendly. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Honey and I decided to come here on our most recent date night (more like day date). It's located on I-Drive in a pretty busy area which made me worry about traffic and parking; but neither were bad. Traffic was pretty tamed although it's Christmas break and parking was ample in their designated customer only lot. We came on a Monday around 1:30 pm and it wasn't that busy. Entry is $25 for unlimited play with no re-entry and $35 if you wish to re-enter. I'm not sure what the cost is if you decided to not do unlimited play or if it's an option. There was a small service fee of 2.2% which a saw a few complaints about, but it wasn't that bad. There isn't much to say about the service...other than the young lady at the entrance we didn't see or interact with any of the employees. It's kinda a "you do your own thing" type of place. We checked out the food and drink menu but didn't try anything since we were having lunch after. The food tables were empty, no one was eating and the stoves/burner in the food area were off. There are quite a few games. They have arcade games, there's ping pong machines, 2 pool tables, air hokey, basketball, football, bowling game (I think that what it's called ) and a few Japanese games. We were planning to stay one hour but got caught up in the fun and ended up spending close to 3 hours. The only thing that could of made it better is more game options that would of allowed us to be more competitive. I love proving to Honey time and time again that I'm the "Champion" and that I did! Ohhhh and the bathrooms are so cool! read more

Do NOT throw a party at the I-Drive location. I'm disappointed by my recent experience at Arcade Monsters', I-Drive location. I spent just under $1,000 for the total. I was shocked when advised I had to pay a mandatory 18% gratuity on each admission. I understand there is a sentence when reserving the room that states all reservations are subject to an automatic 18% gratuity. However, that implies the room reservation is, not the admission of each patron. If I had my guests pay individually for their own admission, each guest's admission would have been without the 18% gratuity, as with all other patrons. To make matters worse, I had reserved the room which included karaoke, but when I arrived, I saw it was not in the room. I asked about it and I was told that the karaoke had been removed from the room without any prior notice or explanation. This significantly impacted my event's entertainment and overall experience. If I were aware that the karaoke would not be available I could have reserved a different room or venue. The room offering karaoke was advertised somewhere for me to have known that fact. For instance, the virtual tour which you can only view directly from their website. Additionally, I confirmed the food I was going to order in advance, to make sure the food would be available. When the food was ordered one of the main items was unavailable because they had run out - despite confirming that it would be available. All of the food purchased was charged the mandatory 18% gratuity. I agree with providing gratuity for good service but that just was not the case here. This experience added stress and chaos to my event. Given all the issues, and more that I accepted my own responsibility for, I reached out to the facility for them to rectify this. They greatly lacked any customer service as they rebutted each of my issues as my fault or simply refused to respond to them. So just beware. As other reviews have said "a fun place" but do NOT try to have an organized birthday party here. read more

There's a lot of games, everyone will find something they like. From ping pong tables to PlayStation games, you will not find yourself bored here. The bathrooms are super cool the alls are comic books and they are very clean. I noticed and appreciate that they have hand sanitizer available on all the tables. There's also food for purchase and alcoholic beverages as well. I love that the walls are glow in the dark the aesthetic is super cool! This is the type of place you come in and forget what time it is. read more

Great throwback to arcade days of yore. Highly recommended. Have a very cool presence at Megacon as well.

We were really excited to try this place since we love arcades and we live close by. So many games were broken when we there, which made it difficult to enjoy. We did not try any of the food or drinks. It felt kind of stuffy inside. I don't think I'll go back because it was too expensive for most of the games to not be working. read more

We came here with a group of friends on a Friday night and had a great time! It costs $25 for entry and you receive unlimited play! I would say it is similar to a Dave n Busters but just arcade games. They have so many different games and even ones from other countries! So cool to try them all out. There's a bar in the back that offers food too. Service was quick! We had chicken tenders and fries and they were great! This isn't a sit down restaurant and there's not a lot of seating. However, you can order your drinks and take them with you while you play the games! read more

They also sell food if you decide to eat there. I went on a Sunday evening and it was packed. The bar service was pretty good.

Arcade Monsters - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It's an arcade with a pay one price at the door (Believe it was $25 each No Re-entry with another higher price to come & go) MOST games are set to free play. Why there is a tip option for paying entry was a bit ridiculous. I get it for bartenders & servers providing an actual service but admission?!? Some games are not free, these are the games where you can win prizes which is understandable. There's a lot behind the building for free parking. Having grown up in the 80's the atmosphere is captured pretty closely with blacklight friendly designs & lighting. For what it is, the job gets accomplished. It's catering to the teenager & up demographic so maybe take the younger kids to Chuck E Cheese to catch their game demo. The girls working there were covered in blacklight makeup & cool outfits which added to the fun vibe. I think there are promos if you dress up in cosplay. There is a bar with food & drinks but the menu is rather limited & pricing is a bit high in my opinion for beers & rivaling that of some clubs & stadiums. Arcade wise, there's a LOT of Pinball, a bit more than I was hoping to see as the real estate is limited. There's multiple Air Hockey tables & Billiard tables. One Air Hockey is 4-way which was pretty cool & different. For driving games, you had a good amount of Mario Kart, Initial D, etc but since it's a Free play setup, there's really no motivation for someone to ever get off a machine. You could literally never have the opportunity to play the game you want unless someone decides to get up or show some courtesy. That's a major downside I couldn't get passed. There's basketball hoop games, dancing games, shooters, fighting games, & a big chunk of the retro early arcade games of the 70's & 80's. These are the types of games you'd have seen in Wreck It Ralph if you're a bit younger. Overall, it's not bad for the price unless you don't like the games they have or someone never gets off the game you were looking to play. YMMV, maybe the place is 4 or 5 stars to you, but the downsides it presented in my opinion yields a 3 for me. read more

went earlier this month and it was so fun! it's a pretty good deal for unlimited game play! they offer a lot of different types of games like pinball, pool, switch games, dance games etc and they're all so fun! some of the games were broken (the walking dead shooter game only had one working side) and some were just out of order / not functional which was a a bit bumming but they still had a lot of perfectly fine ones! it's pretty big place w a really cool atmosphere! we ordered some drinks and it didn't take long at all for them to be ready but we did go a bit earlier in the day before there was a lot of people! overall was super fun and would love to go again and try the other location! read more

Unlimited play arcade. It's $25 a person if you don't want in and out privileges, with 20% discounts for families, military, teachers, etc... Kids loved Mario Kart, the 4 way skee hockey, and bowling game. My father in law liked all the new latest pinball machines. My brother in law loved the DDR and fighting hames. My husband liked the Initial D. And I liked the boxing (I've never seen it before) and all the story mode available on all the fighting games. There is a ton of parking and they don't seem to mind if you bring in a drink. They have a vending machine with anime Ocean Bomb sodas. I was looking for the two I don't have of the sailor senshis but couldn't find them. They are $6.50 a can. It's not too crowded on a weekday. You don't have to wait long for a machine. Cons: it gets hot fast. Be prepared to get hungry and dehydrated and buy one of their over priced items. Some of their machines were out of order. read more

This is a cool looking arcade, even the bathrooms are fully decorated. The gal working at the entrance was helpful. The employees at the concessions stand were a different story. They spent more time on their phones and talking to each other instead of taking orders and preparing food. We went up to the counter when our pager buzzed but there was no food. We got back in line to tell the cashier and they went to find our order. We were there for 4.5 hours, overall it was ok, the kids had a good time. Just a thought, it would be nice if they would waive the no-play admission fee if you spend a certain amount on concessions. We spent over $150 while we were there and that's on top of the price of admission. We had 4 adults and 4 kids in our group, it added up to almost $300. Pros: $24.99 for all you can play, Military/First responders $19.99, clean, kid-friendly foods, adult beverages Cons: $10 admission for non-players, no re-entry, uninterested employees, expensive drinks read more

Arcade Monsters - Air hockey! - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We went and paid for 2 for 25.00 each. It asks for a tip which is strange for admission- like what is the tip even for? but there was a no tip option. I chose text receipt and when I checked a $10.00 tip was added. I went back right after and said I did not tip $10.00. She gave me a refund and did not ask if I tipped at all , which made me wonder if it's a known issue or really a mistake. my guest and I both watched me choose no tip. There are a lot of fun games, and classic pinball machines. We spent a few hours mostly at the pinball and arcade games. Skee ball and air hockey were always busy. It was a busy weekend day early afternoon. i only saw about 4-6 games out of service. Overall I would go back again but just watch your receipts or price upfront. They do not take cash. We did not eat or drink and my guest said men's rooms was clean. read more

I can't believe that they have been open for about two months and I haven't been here yet. I knew of the one near UCF; however I was completely unaware that this really neat place existed. So for a flat fee of $24 you get unlimited games all day, and able to purchase food and drink through their small restaurant. They do have a bar where single shots are $11 and double shots are $15. They also have a Boba tea and soda available to drink. Their food ranges from pizza, two burgers, two chicken nuggets and fries. The lady at the front counter was very nice she said once I come in though I can't like leave to go to my car and come back in. So there's no re-entry once they stamp your hand. This is such a cool thing for families around Orlando for looking for something fun to do or a really neat date night idea! So this arcade monsters is literally right off of international Drive near Universal it is right past the feeder golf off of iDrive. If you haven't been here I definitely recommend; I came here with a group of friends and it was honestly so much fun. 10/10 read more

Cool to have unlimited games and so many to play! Ski ball was a bit broken. The staff are super nice and dress up in cool arcade/anime outfits which is fun. Their food is better than a standard arcade but not amazing. Their chicken items are great and they have some good sauce options. It is a scratch kitchen but a limited menu. If you're coming for dinner, check there is enough offered for the whole family to eat and be full without breaking the bank. The food containers have cool tear away tabs which make sharing super easy. We tried a mix of drinks. The slushees are really sweet so you better like sugar. The mixed drinks are better and worth the price. They use a boba tea seal for them which is neat. The only draw back was all of the hand sanitizers were out or hard to find. I will be back! read more
