We were in downtown Monterey looking for something fun to do with our son. As we were walking the…read morestreets we came across an arcade that looked fun and inviting. I decided to check it out. I arrived on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon. High Scores Arcade is located in a nice area off Alvarado street in downtown Monterey. Parking is free and accessible along the streets and the nearby parking lots. The arcade games collection are classic, vintage, and from the 80's-90's. The space is on the smaller side but has just enough video games to look reputable. The decor is vibrant, bright, and playful. In the front is the counter where you purchase your admission, snacks, and alcohol/non alcoholic drinks. The admission is fairly priced. 1 hour of unlimited play is $10.00. All day unlimited play is $22.00. Overall we enjoyed our experience at High Scores Arcade. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The vibe was nostalgic and bustling. It was nice to introduce the games I use to play back in the day and play along side with my son. We hope to be back when we are in the area.

If you don't have socks, they've got some available for purchase thankfully. They've got an amazing full bar in there for the adults--and an arcade for the kiddos + food and sodas. Unfortunately no free refills on the fountain drinks. We love coming here with friends! The music is hard not to dance/sing to as well.. good choice in songs! If you need a fun escape from all the touristy spots, highly recommend Monterey Lanes.

Located right in Del Monte Center, parking is easy, and it's surrounded by plenty of spots to grab a bite before or after the film. Inside, the theater is consistently clean, and the auditoriums feature big, comfortable seats with crisp projection and great sound quality. The staff is nice. Solid place overall.

Very disappointed with the service here. My husband went to get a large bag of popcorn. There were…read moretwo guys at the concession stand and both acted like it was a huge inconvenience. One of them said do you want anything extra and he said no just add some butter but they did not add butter. Then another guy came over and looked at my husband, like it was a pain that he wanted a bag. Someone behind my husband said ooh. I want to get a bag of popcorn, and the second guy said to the customer behind my husband, I'm sorry these bags are only that to go bags. My husband felt like he was bothering the workers and left without getting the butter on my popcorn, which I was extremely upset about. I didn't learn that. There was no extra butter in the popcorn until my husband brought it to me. I said believe me, if it had been me, I wouldn't be writing this yelp review because I would've told the guys that I wasn't leaving until I got butter on the popcorn. So the movies may be great at the theater, but be warned about lackadaisical service.

We were having such a good time with our company and enjoying the atmosphere that we almost forgot we were waiting. Overall, such a great place to hang out, enjoy some good drinks, listen to music, and have a fun night out. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and a good time!

Amazing and honest company and owner that I plan on hiring every year for any event that involves kids. EZPZ will make any of your parties really stand out and Sean is beyond amazing.

All the kids raved about the game truck for a few weeks and they all had a great time. We are making this a tradition for us at this point and if you're reading this, YOU SHOULD TOO! If you're hiring for any form of entertainment, hire SEAN!!! Thank me later! Thank you Sean, see you for our next event!!!!!!

The burger was also very average, and the caramelized onions were overcooked. For around $25, the burger was definitely not worth it. What made our experience even more disappointing was the service. Our server was a tall, middle-aged woman, and unfortunately, she was not friendly or welcoming toward us at all. We did arrive later in the evening, but we checked the restaurant's hours before coming and placed our order while they were still open. We understand that it may have been close to the end of the night, but we still expected basic friendly service. There wasn't even a smile, and her attitude made us feel unwelcome. Also, the fork that was given to us was visibly dirty, as you can see in the photo. This was unpleasant and definitely something that should have been checked before being given to a customer. Overall, between the average food, the high prices, the unfriendly service, and the dirty utensil, our experience was disappointing.
