Have been wanting to try Coin Haus for a while now and so glad we have! The bartender was very helpful, welcoming, and he was fun to chat with. Explained how the pour-it-yourself works and the prices were reasonable, I really enjoyed being able to taste a bunch of different drinks before committing to one lol. I was also pleasantly surprised to how many options there were, I was expecting only beers but there were a lot of ciders and seltzers to choose from as well. Definitely a drink for everyone! We got some pizzas from Surf Rider, such a great combo to have in one spot, we got the Surf Rider veggie pizza and it was SO good and garlicky. We also got the LM Deluxe and it was also really good. Loved all the different arcade games and for coming in on a Saturday night, it was busy but not packed which made every game enjoyable. Will definitely be back! read more

Such a cool spot! Their self-serve beer station is one of my favorite things--you can try whatever you want, pour a little, and switch it up until you find your favorite. The chocolate espresso one is SO good. It's a smaller place, but they did a great job designing it so it never feels crowded or cramped. The arcade games make it even more fun and give it a really playful vibe. It's perfect for a double date or a girls' night--especially sitting outside on their bar booth patio where you can relax and actually have good conversations. I've gone for both, and every time has been such a great experience. The staff is always super friendly too. Definitely a go-to spot! read more

Coin Haus in La Mesa is straight-up every adult's playground This place is an absolute vibe whether you're on a date night or just kicking it with friends. Huge selection of craft beers on tap, I would say there could be more cocktails. The staff is super chill, the vibe is laid-back but still lively, and it never feels overly crowded even when it's busy. It is a little on the smaller side, and I selfishly want like 20 more games in there. But honestly? That's the only "complaint" I've got. If you grew up loving arcades and still wanna feel like a kid while drinking a hazy IPA with your partner or crew, this is your spot. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday; they have free games all day Sunday. It was very little people inside which was great for us because we got to play as much games as we want. We were greeted by the front counter staff and he explained how everything worked. I got the lime crisis drink; it was decent. I really like the beer dispensers, you can control how much you want especially if you want to sample it; each drink is per oz. We didn't order food that day because we had dinner earlier and wanted to pop in here for fun. It's a small place and I'm sure on the weekends it gets super packed. Wonderful and helpful staff & good vibes here. Make sure you have ID; they ask for it here especially for the tabs. Check out their daily game or drink specials. Definitely worth it. read more

Great selection of beers and ciders. Omg!! I feel like a kid in a candy store. They have my favorite cider. I love everything apple and pumpkin. They have one of the best pumpkin cider. I don't know till when but you should go and try it. They also have food made by surf rider pizza. They have a few games. The place is definitely very chill. I also went here during October fest and it was nice to just sit and enjoy a good beer with my large pretzel. The service is superb!! Everyone there is super nice!! Which make the experience so fun!! The drinks is charge by the oz so you can get as much or little. I tried a lot of them so I only got a few oz each. The one I like I would get a cup. Definitely give this place a try. It's fun and super chill! read more

Coin Haus - Arcades Near Me - La Mesa, California

Coin Haus is like a mix between Barrel Republic and Coin Op. They have self-serve beers on tap (charged by the ounce) along with a ton of games to play. The space lends itself to a fun time! It's a great gathering space and the set up is definitely stand out. There's a big storage container in the center that houses all of the taps. As you walk around the container, you can find a bunch of different beer options along with a few ciders and kombuchas. You scan a card to pay by the ounce, so you can get as little or as much as you want. Behind the container, there is a wall full of different arcade games. You can jump into Mario Kart or play any of the driving or shooting games. Lots of fun options, but all for adults! This place is 21+ so all the video games and fun are for the big kids! Besides all the activities they have going on, the food itself is actually delicious! Their pizzas are delicious and they have so many unique options. This is a CRG restaurant along with Surfrider Pizza right next door, so the food is quality! Last but not least, the staff deserves a shout out. They are so fun and friendly. Working here looks like a great time! All around stand out spot and the perfect place to enjoy a brew! read more

We wandered into Coin Haus during the Oktoberfest and were thrilled we did so. It has a great business model where you fill your own cups. Since I really enjoy the variety of different drinks this was exactly what I wanted but didn't know existed. I spent probably 30 minutes working my way around the different beverages. Plus there are super fun arcade games on the perimeter that use the same payment system, so it's a one stop shop. Big fan and I can't wait to come back in a bit to try their new seasonal flavors. read more

We have driven past here so many times and we finally stopped by after dinner for a drink and some games. I loved how the card you get when you check in works for the drinks and the games so you don't have to worry about having multiple things to keep track of. I miss the pour it yourself places we use to have a couple in north county but they are all gone so I loved getting to enjoy it again and the prices were really good for the drinks as well. We played a couple of games - I loved the giant pac man game and mario kart is my favorite. The staff that were working were super friendly and explained everything so well. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in around 5 on a Saturday to a relatively empty establishment. In any other city I'd be worried...but in San Diego area, I'm just relieved I don't have to wait for a table. We showed up, traded credit cards for Coin Haus cards and got to pouring. Keep your eyes on that per ounce price, there was a mistake on my pour that was quickly remedied. We ordered wings and pesto bread. I would say...maybe eat somewhere else. It wasn't terrible, but also not quite noteworthy food. I think the draw of the place is more the cool pour yourself a pint aspect. We loved the video games, and the cargo box of kegs. It felt like a funky place to bring out of town visitors. We may come back again, it would be perfect for after a day of walking around and shopping throughout downtown la Mesa. read more

What a fun spot! It's an arcade with a good selection of beers and ciders with a few wines to choose from. I love the concept of being able to try so many different ones using a card. We grabbed our drinks and played games while we waited for our food. I wish there was a bigger selection of arcade games. The surf dude salad was very fresh and adding the chicken was great. I wish there were more ingredients in it as it was a lot of lettuce, but still great. We ordered the cheesy bread and that had good flavor and tasted fresh as well. I'm glad it had the marinara sauce on the side as well. The cheesesteak was big and had great flavor. It was a bit spicy and we were overall very happy with our food! The service was great as well and she explained how everything worked. She mentioned that the food would take 25-30 minutes which was much appreciated, but it allowed us to play games. Street parking. read more

Such a fun and unique spot! They have beer on tap where you can pour your own drinks, which makes the whole experience feel interactive and laid-back. You can sample as much or as little as you want, which is perfect for trying different flavors without committing to a full pint right away. The staff were amazing -- super fun, friendly, and really attentive the entire time. We ordered the wings and they did not disappoint -- crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. We also got the pizza, and it was huge! Not just big, but genuinely delicious and made with great-quality ingredients. On top of all that, we had an absolute blast playing the arcade games -- such a nostalgic, playful touch that kept us entertained all night. Overall, this place is a great combo of good vibes, great food, cold beer, and fun. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Staff is friendly and helpful for sure. It was my first time stopping by and checking this place out. The have a wide variety of taps to chose from. It is card based at the end you close out with the staff and pay however much you drank. It tells you along the way price per ounce and total spent so far. The drinks were great! Its a cool little spot in La Mesa. I really would not come back. Limited seating and often reserved for events so you have to move and try finding an open chair or stay standing. Limited games to play. Good amount of TVs around the place. read more

Coin Haus - Arcades Near Me - La Mesa, California

Coin Haus is a great spot for a cold beer and awesome retro video games. And to my surprise, all video games are free on Sundays. Coin Haus is a great spot to hang out. With over 45 drink options to choose from (mostly beer, but they also have wine options), you will not be disappointed. And the best part is that you have control of the pour. If you want to sample a drink, pour yourself a small portion. If you know what you like, pour yourself a pint. Coin Haus also has other drink options at the bar. Also, you are able to order food items from the local pizza place (Surf Rider Pizza Co) and they will deliver it here. The service here is pretty simple. You open a tab and off you go. Everything is controlled by the card you are given. Coin Haus is a great spot to hang out, have a cold drink, enjoy delicious food, and play awesome retro games. I'll definitely be back. read more

Coin Haus is a gem! It's a special spot for my friend and I to always meet up when they are in town! Everyone I recommend it to loves it! I like the "barcade" concept and the mix of retro and new games. Employees are always very friendly and they have great drink recommendations! There's a huge variety to choose from, from frozen drinks to draft beers. It's places like Coin Haus that really make Downtown La Mesa! read more

If you're looking for a place where you can challenge your date to an pac man game and pour your own IPA, this arcade is it. Picture neon lights, retro vibes, and a self-pour station that makes you feel like a sommelier with commitment issues (beer, wine, or seltzer--why not all three?). The food? Let's just say the cheese and bread options are dangerously good--like, "whoops, we're eating our way through the pong budget" good. Service is solid, with staff who are quick to explain the pouring system and make sure you don't accidentally fill your cup to the brim with something questionable. Pro tip: bring someone who can appreciate a little friendly competition. Nothing says "romantic spark" like crushing them at Ms. Pac-Man. Perfect for dates, post-work hangs, or just proving your Mario Kart supremacy. read more

This is a great spot to for a fun, relaxed time with a group of friends or even a date night that is more memorable and less stuffy. This is where you can pour your own beer and other libations that doesn't require any mixology. Just your good ole beer or maybe a pre-mixed drink thrown in for the non-beer drinkers. They offer a small food menu from Surf Rider Pizza across the street and the pizza and wings there hit the spot! They also have arcade games that bring the "fun" into a friend hangout or a date. The staff all seem excited to be there and seem like fun people themselves. I just wish the space is bigger and had more comfortable seating. read more

We dropped in for some fun in the afternoon and fun was achieved. It was not crowded and we had full access to the games. It was also a Thursday around 4:30 pm. A slight disappointment on the amount of games available and two pinball machines is a few pinball machines short of excellent. The seltzers were excellent and very tasty. I loved the concept you could just taste something without committing to a pint. Gaming atmosphere. It is what it says it is and had smiles when we left. G read more

Fun spot located in La Mesa Village! Great service and lots of variety. They don't have hard liquor but their rice wine cocktails are tasty. They also offer food from their partner restaurant, Surf Rider, nearby. I tried their Paloma and it was very refreshing! read more

Super fun. Expensive if you don't take advantage of some type of special. But tons of drink options and a variety of fun arcade games. Definitely a great different night out option. read more

Service was super. First time here and love the concept. Little bit of beer and a little bit of fun.

Awesome addition to downtown La Mesa. Right next to the metered public parking lot - heads up that the meters are affordable ($0.25 per 30 mins) but only accept coins. The best part about this spot is the Happy Hour where games are free to play til 6pm! The decor is modern and clean. Plenty of drink options and they serve pizza made from Surf Rider. We had an awesome time playing beer pong (yes there's a machine), racing games, halo, and more! read more

We held our company holiday party at Coin Haus in La Mesa. It turned out to be areally cool venue. We had the entire place to ourselves for 3.5 hours and it was a blast. Coin Haus is one of those places where you load a card with money then use the card to pay for drinks and games. It is pour your own beer. They have 50 taps of beer, seltzer, kombucha, wine, even cold pressed coffee. Something for everyone. The games are super cool. Old school arcade video games and pinball machines, hoop shoots. Becky and I played beer pong LOL. Coin Haus has no in-house food, but they collaborate with their neighbor Surfrider Pizza and offer the full menu. For our party we enjoyed a variety of pizzas, wings, salads, spinach dip with crostini's for dipping. I very much enjoyed the meatballs in marinara with the garlic knots. It was all very good. They don't really have a lot of room to lay all of the food out, so it did get a little congested around the food tables. Other than that minor issue, Coin Haus is a great spot for a group gathering. Coin Haus was a lot of fun. I'd certainly return even on my own dime! read more

I have never ordered food from here. But I came to write about all the awesome beers that you can drink. However much you want if you want a half a beer you pay for half a beer, which I think is amazing. And I believe that this place is awesome for people who are trying new and different beers to see what you like. And the atmosphere is awesome with video games and everything. And the two servers/hostess that I have dealt with when I've been there have been amazing and very awesome in recommending things. And they do have one or two wines on the other side when you walk in so it's not just beer. And they have a few mixed drinks that are at the counter. read more

My coworkers raved about this cute little spot, so we decided to meet there. I like the idea of being able to fill my own cup of beer with whatever amount I want. We also arrived during happy hour, so the arcade games were free! It's a laid-back spot with great brews and fun games. 10/10 will visit again! read more

Stumbled upon this place and it was a great choice! Large selection of lagers, ipa's and even wine & seltzers. The ambiance is calm yet fun for an intimate night as there is an arcade. The staff were amazing! The girl in the front gave us a brief instruction on how to use the pouring system as extremely nice! Lastly, they also have pizza! It's thin crust and there's four different types which include veggie and meat. read more

Coin Haus - Arcades Near Me - La Mesa, California

I love this little beer arcade room! I don't play games but I definitely drink and love to socialize with my people even if they need a break from my ass via arcading. The process is simple: 1. Walk up to the counter. 2. Show your id and hand over your payment card in exchange for a "tab". 3. Take your tab card up to any drinking source and drink responsibly ;) Truth be told, none of the beer was cold or delicious enough for church bells to ring but I was happy about the all you can drink concept. I also appreciate the fact that my budget was literally in my hands. I guess it always is... but the illusion of choice is important when you know you can throw back a couple 8% ABV beers and keep it under a specific dollar amount. This place is great for groups. I will definitely be back. read more

So let me start with , it's a cool atmosphere. They are a little under staffed. Don't come here if you're homey because the food is coming from another restaurant that has to get your order, then make your food then bring it over to you. I wouldn't suggest coming when it's busy because you will be sick with the decision of playing games while you wait or making sure you have a spot to eat your food. The staff was extremely melt busy making it hard for them to ensure good customer service ( like cleaning the empty tables off for new people to use). I would probably come back under different circumstances, but beware the food took almost an hour to come out and they close at 8:30. The wings are mediocre and the pizza was a bit crunchy. read more

Love this local treasure! I came here on a Wednesday (which was 50% all games) and it was not crowded at all (***probably due to the rain). It's a very small spot to drink and play arcade games, but is very unique with its self-serve tap system. You use a card to pour your drinks and at the end of your visit, you pay your tab (prices per ounce depends on what drink you get). I took my brother here for his 21st birthday and he loved it. He has autism and doesn't like too much noise but loves people and games. It was the perfect place to celebrate with a party of 7 and the staff was super helpful and understanding of his first experience in a bar setting. Shoutout jose! They don't have much food unfortunately so just plan accordingly, but you can order pizza and the pizza place next door delivers it! read more

Good variety of beers on tap (~40+ options) but the layout is cramped making it hard to navigate around especially with all the games along the edge of the building. Fun game choices but limited. I thought they had said each credit was 25¢ but when we checked out, we were charged 50¢ per credit. Not sure if that was a mistake or I had just misheard the initial price, but that's expensive to play some games! Didn't verify on site but that left a sour taste in my mouth read more

A great place for a large selection of beers here. Especially during the summer when my wife & I take our walking strolls around downtown La Mesa. Atmosphere is pleasant & can sometimes get loud on the weekend.and with all the arcade games - doesn't help. If you're there to chill & catch up with friends (quietly?) maybe go during the day. read more

5/5 beer and vibes! It is located on one end of Allison Ave near downtown La Mesa, with a parking lot and lots of street parking next to it (metered but free after 6pm and on Sundays). They have an awesome self serve system where your credit card is connected to a drink and game card. For the drinks, you place your card on the ledge over the tap you want and start pouring! I love this concept because you pay what you drink, and I personally don't drink a lot! And you could try a little bit of any drink you want. I didn't have a chance to play games but I will definitely return to do so! I was very impressed with their large selection of beer, and they have other drinks too like margaritas and seltzer. My personal favorite was the blueberry cider called Bludacris from Newtopia Cyder. It was super flavorful! Other favorites where the California Honey Ale from Pizza Port, and Fest Bier from Societe. They have all different types of beer for everyone! I like more fruity or lighter beers (not IPAs) and I found there was pleanty of options for me. My group went on a Tuesday night which we discovered to be a trivia night, which is part of an 18 week run. Looks like a lot of people participate, there were 10 groups when we went. It was very entertaining, we participated for a bit. Seems like a fun activity if you are a trivia buff! Overall, I definitely will return to try more beers and play more games! read more

Yay! I'm glad this place opened back up as it slowly rising back from the pandemic, it's one of my favorite go to spots to hang out and grab multiple drinks. Coin Haus offers a plethora of amazing alcohol types so if you fancy beer, wine, or seltzers they've got your covered. As well as some retro/modern games to enjoy while you get wasted (drink responsibly). Catch me on the sticks of NBA Jam! The deal with this place is you pay per ounce of alcohol poured through a "charge card" that they provide. It can get really add up because each tap varies depending on what they hold. This card can also be used to pay for the arcade games as well. Food-wise they offer snacks and a few items from Bo+Beau's menu, like flatbreads. If you're full on hungry there are various eateries within walking distance, R.I.P La Torta. Not sure how often they update their taps but Iwould attend at least once a month hoping they've updated their selection to discover new favorites. I think a bigger space would definitely help them with adding more multiplayer games and space out their tables and shipping container of beer as it gets tight in some areas when it's busy. Check it out you won't be disappointed! read more

My girlfriend and I arrived around 4:00pm on a Saturday. The place was fairly empty - Less than 12 people present. Ernesto greeted us at the front door. He provided us with our cups, and assisted us with an explanation of Coin Haus. You are provided with a play card that can be used to play the arcade games (.25 for 1 coin) and an in-depth understanding of how to fill up your beverage. We had a game that stopped working "the beer pong game", in which Ernesto quickly troubleshooted by opening up the front, dislodging the stuck ping pong balls, and then proceeding with restarting the machine electrical per breaker (note: without disrupting the other players). All-in-All 10/10! read more

This is now one of my favorite places in all of San Diego. I love the self serve option and the option to only try half of a beer instead of a full. It charges by the ounce so it works out great and it's priced very reasonably. We ordered food and found out they partner with surf rider pizza with food orders which is next door. The food was super delicious too. We loved the mellow vibe in this place as well. It wasn't too crazy but just right for an awesome night! read more
