    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.

    2 story arcade bar. We sat the level 1 bar for a while and didn't get any service but the bartender was quick to visit w her friends instead of helping us. We ventured upstairs where most of the games were. Service was quick at the upstairs bar even though I had to ask for the rainbow candy that was supposed to be in my drink. Games are 1 token except for the pinball machines, which were 4 tokens. There are other arcade bars that I would venture to and recommend due to lack of service.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

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

Burrito was huge but it got a little dry at the end. Cheese quesadilla was okay, might be better if we got not just plain cheese. I enjoyed it with the pico de gallo and the green sauce. Wish there was more pico de gallo though. They also have sauce station and pickled onions which my husband really liked. Service was quick! There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came. Overall, would recommend and will come back

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
