Food, service, ambiance was awesome. They let us draft for a birthday and just good vibes all around. Would recommend and plan on returning. Everyone rocked. read more

Vault 31 is such a cool spot. Imagine your favorite retro arcade... but with a bar. The neon lights, giant game screens, and nostalgic décor make the whole place feel like stepping into a gamer's playground. We ended up staying way longer than planned because it's just that fun -- grabbing drinks, watching people battle it out on the big screens, and soaking in the atmosphere. It's not your typical bar where everyone just stands around. There's always something going on and the vibe is super welcoming and energetic and the owners are so cool! If you love retro games, colorful arcade energy, and good drinks, Vault 31 is an absolute gem. read more

Extremely rude, told my friend to get the f*ck out after seeing a vape in his hand, we were not aware it was not allowed, but the manner in which we were told to leave was unacceptable. during the time we were there everytime I asked the bartender something I was never looked at when spoken to. extremely rude and terrible service. Whoever the fat bartender is with the glasses needs to be fired. read more

I walked into Vault 31 with high hopes--the vibe was spot-on, and I loved the variety of games available. After ordering food and a round of drinks for the group, we sat down at one of the gaming booths, excited to dive in. When I went back to the counter to ask how to start playing, the bartender told me it was $5 per person to access the games and that guests needed to consistently order drinks to maintain access. Honestly, that seemed fair to me. However, things quickly went downhill. I offered to pay the game fee, but was told I needed to buy drinks first. I explained we had just bought drinks--he had literally served us minutes earlier. His response: "You need to have an open tab, and we won't let you play unless you order more." At that point, the experience soured. The staff felt dismissive and unwelcoming throughout the interaction. Despite already spending money, we were denied access to what we came for. We finished our drinks--which, for some reason, didn't count--and left. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, likely my last. (This place had 5-star potential when I first arrived, but the staff interaction left miserable) read more

This place is pretty mind blowing. I've been here three times. It had been a while since my last visit and they have massively grown! Gamer centric bar lots of options and fun things going on. Parts of it felt like a museum because there is lots of cool stuff to look at. I'm sure they thought I was a crazy person wandering around looking at everything. Drinks were pretty sold and creative. One of the main reasons I went there was because I heard they served cookie McCakeface cookies. Which made me happy. Definitely give this place a look if you are even remotely into video games or just like cool quirky bars. read more

For all you gamers out there, this is the place to be. They charge a pretty affordable price to use their gaming systems. And if you want to bring your own games, they're very accommodating for you to do that. Being old school I went with my own cribbage board and I enjoyed playing there. The snacks and the beverages seem to be pretty creative and very tasty. The place often has live music so if that's something you look for then you might want to check and see when they're going to have more read more

Extremely rude and ill-tempered staff. I understand working customer service can be soul crushing, especially with the verbal abuse a lot of people experience, but the staff here have no problems taking it out on its customers unprovoked. The atmosphere and theme is really cool, so it's a shame how the owner treats people. We were prepared to reserve a table for a birthday hangout, but their website stated they no longer do reservations. Which is fine, we were prepared to change plans if it didn't work out. 4 of us arrived just before max capacity was reached, and it was admittedly pretty busy. However, 2 members of our group were running a bit behind, and arrived after the bar had put up a "capacity reached" sign. Since we made sure to get a big table, and we still had a couple of empty seats, we asked if it would be okay for our friends to join us when they finally arrived. They said this would not be possible. When our friends finally did arrive, the bar had cleared out considerably (under half of the tables were being used). Our friends approached the counter and asked if it was okay for them to join us since it was a lot emptier now. They were told they were not welcome, and that we should have reserved a table if we wanted to guarantee a spot for everyone. When we told them we had tried to reserve a table beforehand, but they no longer do reservations, the owner admitted this was correct (and that he had lied to our faces). We asked how long our friends would need to wait, and we were told it would likely be hours before they could reassess capacity (mind you, it had cleared out considerably since we had arrived, and no one was even at the bar ordering drinks). I think they just wanted us to leave, because the owner also accused one of our group members of being "abrasive" to the staff earlier in the night. All of us are mild mannered people pleasers, who have always tipped well and treated the staff with respect every time we've visited. We were not going about this interaction expecting special accomodations, or going in with an entitled attitude by expecting them to let our friends in. We were respectful, didn't express annoyance at the situation, or try to be difficult in any way, and were fully prepared to go elsewhere if things didn't work out. Nothing we did warranted the hostile treatment the owner was giving us, so it was really off-putting to treated in such a way. We left pretty shortly after this, and even went up and apologized to the owner in case we had made their night more difficult, and were met with the same snarky, hostile attitude from earlier. If you look at the way the owner responds to other negative Google reviews, it will kind of give you an idea of how we were treated. I don't know if we just caught them on a bad night, or what, but I hope they figure out whatever it is they have going on in their lives. read more

This place has become our regular Friday hangout spot. From the $5 all you can game price, to the fun themed food and drinks...to the staff that remembers our orders and our names and welcomes us like we are family...it really feels like a welcome and inviting bar to hang out, drink and have a good time. Plus the pizza is amazing. I was surprised how good the pizza was! Rotating tap list too. Try the unicorn j!ZZ shot, no lie. It's like boozy cereal milk :) read more

Had decent drinks, however service was unkind and unwelcoming! Be sure of which game you are playing or be ready to be up charged for switching, upon realizing our game was not multiplayer the main bartender with a beard was very snappy and annoyed for us wanting to switch games. "We don't do game switching !" Was his exact response, however we were not aware the game we had chosen did not have a multiplayer option. After agreeing to be charged extra he reluctantly changed the game for us. Unfortunately as we don't frequently have the time to indulge in gaming we were unaware of the circumstances however the staff was very impatient and unkind, to the point where we just finished our game and left :( probably won't be returning and wouldn't recommend unless you are an avid and well informed gamer! read more

Nice fun spot to hang out at. They have video games on site, board games, drinks and food. Love the decor as well. read more

Vault 31 Bar - Pizza Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Neat video game themed bar in Vancouver! Located in a strip mall, it's definitely not the kind of place you'd expect in a suburban area... but as a visitor of Vancouver it was a nice surprise for our group of gamers. I wouldn't categorize this as a "barcade" like Ground Kontrol in Portland or LVL Up in the Bay Area... they don't have coin arcade machines, but actual console setups you can play while drinking/eating. There are couch set ups that seem to be reserved for large groups, but you can also go up to the bar to play some games on the screens above the bar. They also have a collection of board games at the tables that are available to play. I would also note - majority of the setups were for modern consoles, like Switch, Playstation 4+, Xbone, etc. There were maybe 2 TV's that had classic consoles at the ends of the bar, but for the most part they were occupied and didn't offer much if you were a group of 4. You might wonder - well why don't I just buy some booze and game at home with your friends? Well you go for the vibe - for a bar in a plaza, this place was well decorated with the Fallout vault and other video game themed nods. Also RGB lighting, because gamers love that stuff. My personal gaming hub (the living room) may have a bunch of video game themed decor... but I don't have the effort to put up cool lighting or make the video game theme decor flow, like this place. And unless you have a friend that's a great bartender... it's nice to have some themed cocktails over the usual beer/wine/whiskey. It's a $10 cover to play games, but at the time we were visiting the cover charge was waved if you could prove you were vaccinated. I thought it was a nice incentive. Since our entire group was vaccinated and we had proof on our phones, we were able to waive the cover fee and put that money towards drinks (lol). The drinks were great! Coming from the cities of Seattle, San Jose, and SF... I've gotten accustomed to paying for overpriced drinks, but here the prices were really fair for what you got. The drinks were tasty, a little strong at times, and the themes were fun given the environment (Mana Potion and Health Potion, for example). Finding a game to play was a bit confusing - it took awhile to get some help on a Sunday night. Though the TV's support all modern consoles, they also only had so much of each - we went from trying to rent out a Switch, to a PlayStation... then finally settling on the Xbox (a console that we don't really care much for because we have gaming PC's lol). Still, our group of 4 had fun playing the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat em up game while going through drinks. There's also the novelty factor you have to appreciate about sitting at the bar and playing on the screen above with a controller. Didn't get to try the food, but it was your typical American/Western offerings of pizza and the like. Drinks were solid for the prices and atmosphere, so I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area. Chill way to spend a Sunday night for out of towners, Wish we had more places like this! read more

Closed for a private event on a Saturday? Made a special trip on our one rare night out. I want my gas money back. Literally watched another couple walk up and leave disappointed as well. Based on the negative reviews, though, and seeing how childishly the owner responds to every negative review with some sort of tantrum, this was their first, last, and only opportunity to earn my business. Will not be back. Recommend that if you like good customer service you try elsewhere. read more

Super cool bar! Very unique and fun! The staff were amazing and recommended cool drinks! I had the banana peel and it was very flavorful. Played Mario cart with no issues! Definitely will be returning! read more

My fave bar in Vancouver. Best vibes, great selection of games, and really good themed cocktails. The pizza is super yummy too. Service is amazing, too! read more

Let me explain a few things here. The first time they opened I was super excited about this place. I brought my dad here and his friend. They both were like wow! Old game systems and loved it all. The drinks are always so good. The shots are great as well. All the video games you can possibly think of. Drinking while gaming? Who wouldn't?! The service is always great every time we come in. Friendly fast the food is always good! The food portions are what a bar should have. If you come in as a group and want to play on any of the game systems y'all have to stick together. Tuesdays are always bingo nights so if wanting to do bingo recommend showing up right when they open or they fill up fast! Recommend showing up in general right when they open even on the weekends or it gets so slammed late at night. No place to sit etc etc. read more

This bar is super chill and fun! Cool place to bring friends to play video games or board games. Every time I go there's always something new happening. Their drinks are delicious and creative but I don't think they put much alcohol in them would be my only complaint. I tried their pizza before and it was really good. You order up at the bar then sit down. Some of the bartenders are really nice and some not so much, but overall a dope spot! read more

Me and my friends love this place!!! Aswell as the adorable cafe that just opened next door. Definitely recommend

Bad service and bad staff. Rude and unprofessional. awful atmosphere. Somehow seems dark and dingy despite all the blipping lights. If every other place is closed, just go home instead. read more

5/5 Rating! Vault 31 offers the perfect layout, vibe and rockin' customer service to guarantee an excellent gamers' night out! Last night was the League of Legends Watch Party @ this unique video game bar, and I had MAJOR FUN!!! We were able to play the old SNES System "Super Mario World" game, and a selection of "Kirby" games too. There are a PLETHORA of options to choose from, and that's part of the fun. Vault 31 offers their own in-house wood-fired pizzas (Rad and Delicious)! The owners here make their very own dough, AND sauce! Last night we tried the "Pickle Rick" pizza! Surprisingly delicious. Composed of red sauce, pepperoni, and bread N' butter pickles! YUMMMMM!!!!!! Any of their pizzas or sandwiches are absolutely delish! If you're looking for something a little different than bowling or the movies, you and your friends gotta check this place out because Vault 31 is pretty epic. I'd like to see their menu expand to include fried pickles, because I have a feeling that everything this kitchen creates would be the Ultimate Bomb.Com read more

This is, without a doubt, our FAVORITE place to go for date night. The food: delicious comfort food. We have never been disappointed by the food we have been served here and they recently expanded their menu! Our personal favs are the whole high pizza, double jump abbey smash burger , and THE COOKIES. Ask for the cookies. Ambiance : A nerds DREAM. They have it all. Table top space and board games to borrow, ( cute little lights too if you can't see in dim lighting! ). Even the 2 top tables have extra room for being able to eat while playing a boardgame. They have video game options out the KAZOO - and a QR code you can scan to see a list of their options. THEY EVEN HAVE A DREAMCAST. RGB lighting and fun nerdy decor everywhere. A recent upgrade they put in was a long desk with 5 high powered gaming PCs you can use with friends while having an adult beverage. ( You can tell that they sunk a good amount of money into this project for all to enjoy so everyone use your damn napkins ) We used them for the first time last night and had an absolute BLAST. Nerd Service: the owners and staff here are awesome. They are attentive and friendly always. I read some of the other reviews here mentioning that the " staff seemed grumpy " or " they didn't let me walk around the restaurant during COVID without my mask on " ( dude really? ) But we have NEVER experienced any sort of unfriendly atmosphere here despite frequenting the establishment dozens of times in the past 2 years. No they don't offer table service - however it's not that kind of place. This is a BAR not a restaurant - and there is a literaalllyyy a giant blinking sign above the bar that says " order here " in all caps. Like literally.... it blinks. One of the reasons we fell in love with this place was because of the friendly people that own it and work here. We are so happy to not have to sit in a sports bar anymore and pretend like we like watching golf on the TV. P.S. Don't forget - try the cookies. read more

Love love love this place, fun environment, amazing staff, good food and drinks! Coffee shop next door ROCKS! An amazing establishment to be able to start a business at the same time as getting hit with the whole covid crap, and surviving it all is the tall tale of the passion and drive the owners have for this place! read more

The workers here are so incredibly rude and I will never come back here again. The most terrible experience I have ever had at a bar. They were so disrespectful from the minute I walked in. Screw this place don't go here read more

Date night, we met up with a friend. It was much smaller than I had pictured in my head but much cooler too! We ordered drinks, they were ALL fantastic. The bartender ladies were friendly and made excellent recommendations. We couldn't sit at the bar together, one of us didn't have their vax card on hand and that was a requirement. No biggy, we moved to a table and got the same awesome service. I really love the decor, everything video game related, menu includes! There were several stations where you could sit and use consoles while you hang out. I don't know if there is a time limit but my party was there for a while and no one left those comfy little couches and so, we never got a chance to play Mario Kart or Sonic. Maybe next time we will just have to go earlier ;) I highly recommend if nothing else, for the vibe! read more

I recently visited Vancouver and was really looking forward to checking out Vault 41 with my friend, who had hyped it up for its gaming atmosphere. Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing. When we arrived, the place looked great, and we were all in high spirits. However, things took a turn when a bartender rudely demanded to see our IDs. After we complied, he rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving us waiting for service. We sat there for over 20 minutes while it felt like the staff was prioritizing their friends over us. It was awkward and frustrating, especially since it seemed they were having a great time while we were ignored. Honestly, I can't imagine ever being treated like this in New York. Feeling completely overlooked, we decided to leave and headed to the Star Bar in Portland instead. What a difference! The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was friendly, and we had a fantastic time. I don't know if it was just a bad day for Vault 41, but my experience there was far from enjoyable. I can't recommend it based on my visit. There are definitely better places to spend your time and enjoy your night out! Oh I forgot... I've never written a review for any place in my life until now. This is my first time, and it was definitely worth it. I want to share my feedback about the experience and hope they can improve their communication skills with their patrons and treat them much better. other than that, it was a horrible experience wouldn't recommend it to anyone read more

The drinks here are very good and well priced compared to comparable bars. I will say if you want to actually play, come early because the good consoles and games can get scooped but pretty fast. Overall a very unique and fun bar on this side of the bridge. read more

The idea is cool and I love the variety they have here for systems and everything. Drinks are decent. However service kinda sucks...I got here at 4pm on a Tuesday so not very busy but took almost 20 minutes for them to finally log me into a game? That's crazy? And it didn't seem like they take their customers as a high priority. I was told they'd be right with me when I wanted to order and then proceeded to take the next 5 minutes cleaning and grabbing glasses? That makes no sense you would think that task would be taken after helping a customer? Idk kinda just sucked because it was my first time here. If you don't care about that stuff I still recommend this place it's a dope idea and for the games alone I'd come again I just hope next time is a better experience. read more

Nerdgasm Great themed bar idea and so glad to have such a welcoming space in Vancouver! The selection of food and cocktail themes are cute and the garlic cheese bread I ordered was tasty and I had enough left over to take home. Can't wait to return for more multiplayer and drinks with my friends read more

Drinks were decent but the staff was horrible. A lot of things going on and very confusing on how to even play the games they do offer. I understand it's a gaming bar but it should not smell like b.o. read more

I'm relocating to Vancouver in a few weeks, and while I was down from Tacoma touring a few apartments, decided to stop in for a quick drink. While I can't speak to the food, or the gaming experience, the staff were very friendly, and it looks like an awesome place to kick back, have a few drinks, and play some video games. I definitely plan on stopping in again once I'm settled. The staff even invited me to join their Discord to make some new acquaintances before I move down there alone, which was very thoughtful! Looking forward to making this a new spot! read more

This place blowsssss looks fun online but just trying to order is difficult and they all act like its a pain in the ass for you to even be there. Will never come back read more

Love the idea and game systems. We went here for the first time for my step son's birthday. As soon as we walked in the one guy seemed super annoyed that we were there. Once we ordered we decided to play a game, totally fine until my husband's controller wasn't working. I heard a lot of huffing and puffing that he had to get us a new controller. Then after a bit we decided we wanted to play on the switch, it was like pulling teeth to get the guy to even talk to us and do this. He seemed super irritated and bothered that he had to do his job!! I thought the rudeness was cause this bar supports LGBTQ community cause my husband was wearing an American flag hat, but after looking at the reviews on google - no the owner is just a d**k. Won't be going back - I'm old school, if you're rude I'm not gonna tip or come back. Tipping is for good service not a right. read more

Chill fun and clean atmosphere great spacing and lots of options for both video and board games. Drinks and cute and creative and the highlight of the menu. Pizza flavorful. Though it would be nice if they offers a few other options for their finger foods like fries or a veg option? Def would recommend for a cute date night or chill outing with friends I was super excited to find a place like this in Vancouver. Also try going earlier in the day if you want to get a video game spot to play . The only downside was there were not a lot of game options only 4 spots to play and you don't know how long the wait is til a spot will open. Came in with my party and we waited over an hour but still no couches opened. We still had a great time but that was disappointing. read more

I was recommended this bar by a co worker & let me tell you these pictures don't do it justice. Food and drinks are reasonably priced & staff is super friendly. If you're into dorky gaming atmosphere & wanna play video games with strangers this is totally your bar. read more

Good food, good prices, awesome ambiance and an expansive list of games. The people who work the bar and own the place are awesome as well.

Service was kinda terrible. For an activity bar, there were a ton of barriers to said activities. I get that you want to keep your stuff from being broken, but still. Lots of parts of the bar's vibe can be reduced to "flippant memeish profanity" but it comes off like a toddler practicing curse words on the playground under their breath. For a fallout themed bar, the place has very little of a fallout vibe. It feels more like they robbed a game stop. read more

This bar is a fun place to go to. I love the atmosphere and the way the place is decorated. They have unique names to their drinks and their food. I like going here to play some video games, or even card/board games. The service is wonderful, I like how friendly everyone is. They are also always willing to make suggestions on food and drinks if you don't know what to choose. I come here a lot and play Smash Bros. I could spend hours here, and I never feel like I am breaking the bank when coming here for a fun cheap night with my friends. read more

Chill place with good drinks, good service. Kind staff and chill environment. People are playing games.

I love coming to this bar always have a good time! Have fun drinks, fun events, service is great! And the food is awesome too! But unfortunately the last time we were all here a bartender in the back. Bigger guy was not very nice and seem way to grumpy. Probably shouldn't work at a place you don't like people at. Had a poor attitude just wasn't friendly at all. Killed the vibe, i wasn't the only one who noticed other groups did too... :( read more

I love this place. Everyone here is so nice. The pizza and drinks are great too. They have tons of games and consoles and there is always, always something cool to look at. The music is great too. Tonight they had a sticker event that was super cool. $5 for unlimited stickers on one item. The selection was huge. I had a great time just looking through all of them, and I have something to bring home to always remember tonight by! I can't wait to see what comes next. Definitely check this place out if you haven't! read more
