    Level One Arcade Bar.
    Joyce W.

    You know it's going to be a legendary night when your main competition at darts is a rogue fan blowing your aim off because, apparently, even the air wants you to lose. So, there we were, bar hopping around DT Mesa like pros, when someone casually mentioned, "Hey, there's an arcade upstairs at this underground speakeasy." Challenge accepted. Now, let me tell you, playing darts after a few drinks is a whole different sport. Did we break some dart tips? Absolutely. Did my buddy somehow manage to launch darts behind the machine like some kind of ninja? Without a doubt. And yes, we definitely tried blaming the fan for our poor aim because who else can you blame when your darts have a mind of their own? It was hilarious. Meanwhile, Mike D., aka The Darts King and also Mr. Friendliest 2018 (go add him), is still sitting on his throne. Honestly, I'm getting tired of his reign. I need to snatch that crown! This spot is legit, though. They have a handful of games, a well-stocked bar, and cozy tables where you can chill. That night, there was even a nearly-wedded couple with their whole crew hanging out. Super chill vibes. Yeah, I'm coming back.

    How fun is this place?! I love Mesa more and more each time I visit. This week my niece was in town and I was looking for somewhere fun I could take her. One of the great things about Level 1 is that kids are allowed on as long as they are supervised by an adult and it's before 7pm. It is a bar so the night scene is very different. There are a few arcades close to me, but there are so many more game options here and with the second level there is much to choose from. Service was great, they have an atm so you don't have to go elsewhere if you don't have cash, most games are between a quarter or a dollar. Of coming to drink there is a full bar on both levels. We had a great time. My favorite by far is the Metallica pinball or of course your old school Nintendo options like Burger Time, Excite Bike and more.

    Pretty cool spot for a drink and to play some arcade games. Bartenders were friendly and so was the person who was checking ID's at the door. We hung out upstairs and the back patio. Drinks are fairly priced.

    Came here to play darts and celebrate my partner's birthday. Not our first time and def not our last. Darts, shots, and some bar food. Was pleasantly surprised by the chicken quesadilla we shared (LARGE). The bartender was super sweet and overheard us talking about my boyfriend's birthday and offered him a free birthday shot which was thoughtful! Darts are great there as they have 4 individual dart boards and plenty of room for everyone to shoot. Sick pinball machines upstairs. It was about 2pm and not super busy since the night crowd wasn't quite in yet. Parking out back was still tight though. Vibes are nerdy and immaculate

    Flight deck comes with game tokens, which was awesome !

    We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on a Friday night. The 1st level was not very busy, so we decided to grab some drinks and food. We sat at the bar, and had to wait some time before being acknowledged, despite the fact that there were 2 to 3 bartenders at the bar. The food was great, we got the pretzel, which was surprisingly very soft and warm. The wings and the fried pb and j were also tasty. The fried pickles were over fried, so it just ended up drying them out. The place itself is very cool, lots of games to play. The service is what really put a dent in the experience. I love the flight deck I got, but it was hard to get a bartender to take our order. On top of that, they don't seem to have alot of knowledge on the beers they serve. I asked for a mix of IPAs for my flight, and the bartender seemed confused. My husband was trying to close out, and it took at least 20 to 30 minutes to even get anyone to pay attention. This place is great, but the service really needs improvement.

    Cocktails tasted great my friend said and as a non cocktail drinker myself I tried the toasty one and it tasted like hot chocolate kinda liked it they have a decent size amount of pinballs but a handful don't work or a lot have stick buttons and the screens don't indicate when you've inserted coins so you kinda go threw a trust the system know there coins even if the screen doesn't change , and the top floor of the place smelled like piss. Ok spot I still think yucca tap rooms pinball area is better

    Super cute bar areas throughout! Service is friendly and quick. They have darts, arcade, bar seating and patio! Even a hidden gem downstairs! . Cute lighting for photos too. Pricing for drinks is good too.

    My favorite local bar! Been coming since they opened up! Always a nice chill time, my fav drink is their scorpion colada! I am yet to try their food, but sure it's delicious, just like their drinks! Lots of arcade games! Music can be a bit better I think! Otherwise my fav place!

    I'm pretty positive this is my new favorite place. Wish it opened up an hour earlier on weekdays but oh well. Games are great, pin ball is great. Outdoor area is great. Beer selection is more than great. Staff is nice. Food is yummy. Love being able to come here after work for a drink and some games. They have a mystery bag you Can get for 5.50 and it's gotta mystery beer and 4 tokens in it every time!

    Great selection of pinball and arcade games!

    Loved visiting this Arcade and Bar! We were treated so nicely by all the staff, including the door host - pictured with my review! He was so friendly and made sure we knew all the details and helped us to have a great visit. Tons of games, plenty of good food, and two stories of fun! 10/10 would recommend. We are planning our next trip to Level One for the Bloody Mary brunch - heard great things about it!

    Me and my friends were treated horribly here! We checked out this place on a Saturday night for the first time and the service was not great. We got there by 6:30pm/7pm and it wasn't packed. We waited over 10 minutes just to get one drink. She was serving people that got there after us first. When the bartender finally acknowledged us, she was rude and had an attitude. After, we went to check out upstairs, she followed us and went to tell the other bartender at the upstairs bar about us when I'm not sure why. She even went as far as to tell the guy outside for the speakeasy to not let us in either. The rest of our time there, she continued to be rude and continued to not serve us. We kept trying to get her attention so we can order more drinks and give the place business but she ended up kicking us out for no reason! We were never rude to her, never gave her attitude, never yelled at her or anything. She was the one wearing a referee costume and had short black hair and was about maybe 5'5? The place was really cool and we were excited to check it out but her bad attitude and very bad service ruined our experience!!!

    This is such a fun place for date night or to meet up with friends! They have a plethora of old style arcade games to choose from, as well as drinks. Came in on a Sunday evening and it was fairly quiet. The second level has most of the games but the only downfall was both of the atm machines to get cash out were down. Fun, cute place to go & I will be back if I am in the area

    I loved the fact that I could have my teenagers there with me to play some pinball as some vintage arcade games.

    Tacos Tijuana is my absolute favorite local taco shop! It's easily one of the best taco spots in…read morethe area and genuinely holds up when compared to authentic tacos I've had in Tijuana. The quality really stands out--especially the homemade tortillas, which take everything to the next level. The al pastor and carne asada are both incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also love that the al pastor is cooked authentically on a spit, which really adds to the flavor and experience. There's also a great variety of options on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Service is consistently quick, even when it's busy, which makes it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down to enjoy your food. Their Taco Tuesday deal is also a huge win--great value without sacrificing quality, and it keeps us coming back regularly. And the salsa deserves its own shoutout--absolutely incredible! It's packed with flavor and honestly good enough that you could enjoy it on its own. It really takes everything to the next level. If you're looking for authentic-style tacos with great flavor, fresh ingredients, fast service, and awesome specials, Tacos Tijuana is a must-visit. Easily one of my top spots in the area!

The hot sauce did the job as well. The pastor mulita did the job, the pastor was flavor-full but it had its own style, it wasn't like the pastor in Tijuana and was different than the usual pastor in az. It was different, but cant hold its own without the guac salsa cheese carrying it Would go back for the carne asada tacos, and 4/5 because the price tag. The price to quality is good, but the quantity is a stretch. 2-3 bite max tacos for over 3 dollars is wild work. The quality tho, makes it worth returning for sure

    Came here for our Friday lunch date a couple of weeks ago (but forgot to write a review)…read more We had a couple of their tacos (I had the Al Pastor as it was only available on a Wednesday ‍ and the wife had the Costra taco and it was all pretty good. Great flavors. We shared their Flamingo (crispy rolled flour tacos stuffed with cheese blend and roasted anaheim pepper, topped with lettuce, sour cream, avocado salsa, pico de gallo and cotija cheese) - VERY GOOD! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We both had the Modelo Especial with lunch as well, as you gotta do it right! Service was quick as it wasn't that busy when we arrived and were seated - but it got busy not long after.. You can see its a popular place and right in the heart of Tempe so no surprises! It's not a noisy place but far, and quite open, so its pretty average for noise. We will be back - as there are some great foodie places around in Tempe, and Taco Chelo is definitely one of them!

    So my husband said these are the best tacos he has had and his favorite of any we have had in…read morePhoenix. I felt different. First of all, eating anywhere in Tempe, starts with a frustrating time.... Trying to find parking and having to pay to park. I don't understand why restaurants don't have parking for customers. Idk maybe I don't know where to look. Second, it's hot AF in here. I feel sorry for the guys cooking. It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job. And smiled the entire time. She was awesome
