This place was a BLAST! We came on a Sunday morning just after opening and there were only two other people there. Even when we left around 1 PM, there were only a handful of people there. I assume it would get busy into the evening/late night hours. We played every pinball machine! They had probably 25? They have numerous racing games, dance games, ski ball, basketball, classics like Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Galaga and more! $25 for unlimited play is a steal if you do it right!

ITG2 out of order :(

So I was mainly interested in their Rythm Games. I like that they have beer and a good selection of games. A few suggestions for Jubeat, I think the drink holders should be on the side; mounting in the front makes it lean forward and get in the way. Also need to install headphone jack. Whole place is very noisy. Left machine compensated with high volume, but kinda hurt my ears. Right machine is barely audible. Left machine buttons seem well maintained and very responsive, right machine needs some buttons replaced. I was also sad to see that the In The Grove machine was out of order. I was pretty excited to see a piece of history. But impressive list of dancing games, including a beautiful step mania x machine. Overall I might try one of the other locations to compare. I appreciate what they're trying to go for, and its refreshing to not see just another D&B clone.

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.

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.

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.

Arcade Monsters is hands down one of the coolest spots I've visited in Orlando. The atmosphere is incredible!! Whether you're into retro arcade games, pinball, modern gaming, or just looking for a fun place to hang out with friends, there's something for everyone. The entire venue has a unique vibe that blends nostalgia with an energetic and welcoming environment. What really stood out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely excited about creating a great experience for guests. Even with the place being busy, they were helpful and made sure everything was running smoothly. Didn't get to try the food, but there were so many drinks to try! Everything we ordered came out fresh and exceeded expectations, making it easy to spend several hours here without needing to leave for a meal. They also have a switch near the bar for super smash bros! Favorite game of all time!

My husband and I had to swear off arcades for our girls because they're all cash-grab, ticket-spewing, crane-machine-infested, soulless voids. We'd walk into "arcades" with our well-behaved rational children and walk out with overstimulated, enraged, tiny tyrants. Arcade Monsters is different. Arcade Monsters is what we millennials (and older generations) grew up with, but that doesn't mean it's outdated. You want to play Mario Kart World on Switch 2? They've got it. But they've also got DDR, Guitar Hero, every kind of pinball you could possibly want, air hockey, House of the Dead, basketball, ski-ball, Luigi's Mansion, Tetris, bowling, Bop It, Galaga... and it's all-you-can-play for $25. No more buying cards with X number of points, and each game costs 6-12 points per play. You truly can't beat this deal. Nor can you beat the ambience, the decor, the food, and the customer service from the awesome employees. It's like someone who actually loves games and arcades as they're supposed to be built this place and found people to work here who actually want people coming in to have a good time. I can't recommend it enough, especially during these scorching hot summer months!

This place is awesome! We spent a few hours here on a rainy day. They have great games for the whole family. Vintage games as well as modern games.

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.

Great service and a lot of games!! I came with my gf and we had a really great time. There's also a lot of pool tables. Def check it out!

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. The staff was friendly at eye food counter. There's a good variety of arcade games for all ages. The bathrooms were pretty cool and most importantly clean!

Chelsea D.

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!

What an amazing arcade! I had so much fun here with all my friends ! The artwork is stunning, it covers all the walls, and even glows ! The drinks were definitely my favorite, they have a huge variety. The staff was attentive and made sure my group had a good time. Highly recommend to everyone!

If you want my opinion, Player 1 Video Game Bar, in Orlando, is fantastic. It's the quintessential…read moreretro-arcade bar. It's dark, cool, and the themed decor fits the place perfectly. For example, the top of the bar is actually a time line of the history of video games...something to take in while you're throwing back a few adult beverages. Assuming that you're looking to drink a bit, they have an outstanding collection of craft beer, and of course, they have the obligatory "80s themed" cocktails. I haven't quite figured out the food menu. But hey, P1VGB is not really, I don't think, that kind of place. GAMES? They have an excellent selection of old school vids. And whatever the game count, it goes up by 60 because they have at least 1 multigame rig (packaged in a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet). This combo brings you most, if not all, of the blockbuster titles from the 80s. They also have several rare machines. Last but not least, they THE SINGLE ALL TIME GREATEST COIN-OP SPORTS GAME! ATARI FOOTBALL!! Yeah, it's that much fun...I still have callouses and blisters from rolling that big ass track ball back in 1979! Pinball? Well, this is not a pinball palace, but, they do have about 8 to 10 tables. Great titles including Twilight Zone, Haunted House, and Jaws. In addition to the coin-op games that us Gen-Xers grew up with, they have multiple videogame consoles available. For a bar that offers this many games set on free play, admission is very inexpensive. I'd say that at any given time, 5 to 10 percent of the games are down. Not too bad. Located just up the street from Sofrito Latin Cafe, this place is well worth a few hours of time time. 5 stars!

So Andrettis is an indoor karting, laser tag, and game room located right next to the Convention Center on International Drive. This place definitely was easily accessible from the main road and had plenty of parking in their private parking lot. So on the day of our event, upon arrival, we were greeted immediately and checked in quickly and efficiently. The staff were all very kind and helpful! The party room was located in the back of the building and was a pretty spacious room, with its own private bathroom. For our birthday package we opted for the laser tag, and arcade option for the kids and it kept them occupied for a few hours. Now for the food, I was very impressed by the quality and presentation of all the items we selected! Yes the food was just your average fried bar food... but I thought everything was super fresh and all came out very quick. The pizza, wings, and cheese curds were outstanding! Lastly, our party attendant was top notch! She was very attentive, had great communication, and made sure we had everything we needed.

We love that we can watch a game on the big TVs. Prizes are usually pretty good but require too many tickets in our estimation. Their food is pretty decent.

The issue wasn't simply that my meal was prepared incorrectly--it was how management handled the situation. I ordered salmon that arrived significantly undercooked. When I sent it back, our server handled the situation professionally and was both courteous and apologetic. However, from our table I observed the manager, Dalton, visibly berating the server while pointing toward us instead of focusing on resolving the issue. No employee should be treated that way for bringing a customer concern to management. When my mother spoke with him directly, rather than acknowledging the problem, he insisted the salmon was properly cooked and suggested the issue was that we hadn't specified how it should be prepared. Salmon should be cooked to a safe temperature unless a guest specifically requests otherwise, and the photos speak for themselves. What should have been a simple correction became an unnecessary argument. Good managers de-escalate situations, support their staff, and prioritize guest satisfaction. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. To make matters worse, we never received the Power Card promotion that was supposed to come with the meal. The one bright spot was our waitress, who remained friendly, professional, and genuinely tried to make things right despite the circumstances. She deserved far better support from management than what we witnessed. A restaurant can recover from a kitchen mistake. It's much harder to recover from poor leadership and a refusal to take accountability. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location.

Being of a certain age, we chose to visit just the Auto Museum. There are a variety of attraction packages available if you want to use one or several of the attractions. Everyone entering must fill out a waiver, even if you're visiting just the Auto Museum. The waivers are available online as well as advance ticket purchases. There is also a food court and several shops within the Dezerland complex. I'm not into cars myself but the Auto Museum was impressive. My husband especially loved seeing the vintage cars from the 1940s through the 1970s, although some of the cars shown preceded the 1940s. The displays include vehicles used in movies and popular culture. My favorites were the Mystery Machine and Herbie the Love Bug as I saw the movie Love Bug as a child. Besides cars, the museum also features vintage motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, fire trucks, police vehicles, post office delivery vehicles, subway cars, and buses. The backdrops, movies posters, pictures, and cardboard cut outs of the movie 'stars' and historical figures greatly enhance the experience. I can't imagine the time and energy it must have taken to amass this collection of vintage vehicles.
