    Big Mac fries
    Megan K.

    Ordered Big Mac fries to share with friends. This is a fun spot to go with friends as it's an arcade bar. Tons of fun games, it has basketball, skeeball, big buck hunter, honestly everything fun to play. Service for getting the games card sorted out is always great, but food and drink service if you're at a table was much slower.

    We all needed this reminder lol

    I never found my way to Greta in my younger years until YELP, thank you YELP. Recently, one of my clubs had a season ender and we decided on Greta. We had them do a self serve taco station (pork barbacoa and vegetarian version), soft taco shells, two types of pickles and lettuce wraps. Both version with its fixings were done beautifully. Drinks were quick and they were very well staffed. Spacious layout with a variety of games. We enjoyed Mario Kart the most.

    Bar/restaurant and arcade by Gastown. Parking here is pretty awful. The place is basically a pub with a dance floor and a bunch of arcade machines. Most games are pretty modern (under 10 years). Even the pinball machines had colour screens. The machines use a credit system which makes it easy to just tap and enjoy. No more fumbling for change or tokens. Kids have it easy these days. There is also a points (loyalty) system in place. In theory it is possible to rack up enough points for prizes or swag, but it takes quite a bit of playing. In other words, don't count on too much in this department. I've had the food here before and it's pretty decent overall. Something to do if one is in the area.

    Super fun place to go. Food is all right, but great place to go on a date or have a birthday party. I like to come Sunday during the day because there's no one there so you don't have to wait for any games and it's super cheap. Only five dollars an hour for unlimited play!! On weekends late at night, they even have a dance floor and it turns into a fun mingling spot.

    What a great place to hang out! It was a nice place to come and play arcade games with lots of options of drinks and food.

    Cute bathroom.

    Greta is like a smaller version of a bar in san jose (mini boss). IYKYK!! Their food is decent. Got their big mac fries (half plate) and the price was $8 CAD. Not bad! My friend got their poutine and the other one got their poke entree. Both said it was good! However, I feel like the drinks here are very weak. I asked my server what was popular here and she recommended the raspberry one. When it came it tasted straight up like juice. I got it remade and it came with a little less ice this time and it was the same. I decided to change the drink to an espresso martini instead. Im not sure if Canada drinks tend to be weaker than the States? But I wouldn't order drinks here. Food is good though! This is an arcade bar, and I really wanted to take a photo with my friends at the photobooth. But it was out of service. Bathrooms are nicely decorated and have seperate stalls which is cool. Big thing I notice in Canada is that all public restrooms do not have toilet seat covers... FYI, they do accept cash payments as I know some places accept credit card only.

    I love it. I am a fan of arcade games, especially galaxy, mario and what not and they have it all. I have never seen such an extensive arcade bar before. I think no matter how much time you spend in there, you will want more. We loved it. We are going to go back again and again. They have good drinks and super friendly staff. The vibe of this place is like I have been teleported to back in time. It can be a long wait sometimes, but its all worth it!

    Decent place to go with a small group. The place is big, they have Decent food and drinks. Some orders came fast, others didn't. There are games all around, but as it gets packed, some games are harder to access than others. Go with good company for a fun time!

    If you come by in the afternoon there's lots of opportunities for you to play games but if you come at night when it's packed it's hard to have a turn. Tried out the birria tacos and they were super tasty! Yummy crispy cheese on top! Also highly recommend the raspberry mojito for a summery drink!

    Greta is a nostalgic blast from the past and a fantastic destination for gamers of all ages. Located conveniently in the heart of downtown, this arcade boasts a well-maintained collection of classic and modern games. One of the few arcades bars in Vancouver!

    I was here for a friend's birthday party and ended up leaving early before I could try any of the games. It looked like a fun arcade but I didn't really get a good look. But I had a good experience with them as a bar. The only negative was that they seated us at two tables that did not have enough seats for the size of the reservation. Our server was very friendly and fun, and the food and drink was good - I got the snack size poke bowl, which is called a side on the menu but was big enough for a light meal for me. It wasn't anything super special, but the sauce was tasty and the fish and veggies were fresh. The menu is lacking in vegetarian choices. The Impossible Burger is the only vegan or vegetarian meal. I got the "re-fashioned" cocktail to drink, which was strong and aromatic. The birthday experience that my friend got was fun. They brought out a light-up sign with a fishbowl cocktail and dessert. The birthday girl did not share the cocktail but we did share the dessert, a delicious cookies and cream trifle concoction. I wouldn't be opposed to returning and I would definitely make a point to try the games.

    It's one of the new trending place to hang out with a group of friends. You can have some drinks and food while play some awesome arcade games. The place is spacious, clean, and has a retro yet 80s ambiance. The staff are super friendly, and personable. Some of them chose to dress 80s styles, which created a flash back feeling. They have happy hours which you can join some coworkers after work, with a full bar of a variety of drink selection. Their dinner menu is simple with some appetizers and mains. The selection is a better than just bar food. When it comes to games, you can buy a card to load up the credits. Most of the games are 6-8 credits per play. $20 would give you a plenty loads on a few games. This could be a great team building place to bring your coworkers on a year end event. The only downside would be limited parking space on a busy street. But it's also located near the Waterfront skytrain station. If you plan ahead, you could take the bus or train and walk over.

Server was super nice and helpful, and came to check on us even while every seat in this place was full. I got the Korean fried chicken, the pickles it came with were a tiny bit spicy but I'd say these are medium in spice. Good not overly breaded. XXL Mozzarella sticks we got to share, they really are just so much cheese. Marinara is great and a decent amount for the size of these sticks. Someone got the burger and fries, fries were reported to be crispy and lightly salted, burger was decent. Said they would order it again. Nacho friend devoured them and was really into them. Butter chicken friend said that it was pretty good as well which was kinda surprising since it's a sportsbar. Great experience would come back for the environment and service overall.

We came the night of the Rise debut AND Canucks last game so it was busy! But you could not tell. Their service was exceptional, fast, and didn't miss a beat. The whole place is hip and the vibe is fun. You have a whole array of people that come here! Apparently the Grilled Farmers Sausage is a hit! So many people ordered it and several people with our party did! I got the Mac & Cheese but made vegetarian. The cheese to noodle ratio was more sauce but the garlic that they use in the sauce was incredible. The roasted tomatoes in the dish was great to cut the richness of the dish. Pairing it was a simple arugula salad with the perfect dressing made for a great meal. Considering how fast they were pumping out dishes and the menu, I was so happy with this place. They have healthier options too which was nice to see. I am very excited to come here again for some good food, exceptional service, and great atmosphere!
