    Guitar Hero!!

    My husband and I had to swear off arcades for our girls because they're all cash-grab, ticket-spewing, crane-machine-infested, soulless voids. We'd walk into "arcades" with our well-behaved rational children and walk out with overstimulated, enraged, tiny tyrants. Arcade Monsters is different. Arcade Monsters is what we millennials (and older generations) grew up with, but that doesn't mean it's outdated. You want to play Mario Kart World on Switch 2? They've got it. But they've also got DDR, Guitar Hero, every kind of pinball you could possibly want, air hockey, House of the Dead, basketball, ski-ball, Luigi's Mansion, Tetris, bowling, Bop It, Galaga... and it's all-you-can-play for $25. No more buying cards with X number of points, and each game costs 6-12 points per play. You truly can't beat this deal. Nor can you beat the ambience, the decor, the food, and the customer service from the awesome employees. It's like someone who actually loves games and arcades as they're supposed to be built this place and found people to work here who actually want people coming in to have a good time. I can't recommend it enough, especially during these scorching hot summer months!

    So I was mainly interested in their Rythm Games. I like that they have beer and a good selection of games. A few suggestions for Jubeat, I think the drink holders should be on the side; mounting in the front makes it lean forward and get in the way. Also need to install headphone jack. Whole place is very noisy. Left machine compensated with high volume, but kinda hurt my ears. Right machine is barely audible. Left machine buttons seem well maintained and very responsive, right machine needs some buttons replaced. I was also sad to see that the In The Grove machine was out of order. I was pretty excited to see a piece of history. But impressive list of dancing games, including a beautiful step mania x machine. Overall I might try one of the other locations to compare. I appreciate what they're trying to go for, and its refreshing to not see just another D&B clone.

    Arcade Monsters is the best arcade in the state, and this location is the best Arcade Monsters of them all. There is so much space, even at the height of the crowd, you can find a fun game to play. You can break down your day into categories of games. We had a pinball segment, a shooting one, sports, old school arcade, Mario Kart on the Switch 2 dart, it just went on forever. It could have kept going, but we had dinner reservations to keep. Ambiance is absolutely awesome. Brilliant, electric murals cover every single inch of space. There isn't any blankness on any wall, not even in the restroom. It's wild, and it's great. There's some food options, but it's like, dumb stuff for kids. Pizza, chicken tenders, etc. So if you want to spend a whole day here, get the pass that lets you leave and come back. Unless you're into frozen nuggets. The drink game is strong, though. They have a ton of mixers that are delicious on their own, and can be mixed with some booze, too, if you'd like. Overall, there is all positives here and no negatives. I come to Monsters pretty often, and I suspect I will forever more.

    Arcade Monsters is hands down one of the coolest spots I've visited in Orlando. The atmosphere is incredible!! Whether you're into retro arcade games, pinball, modern gaming, or just looking for a fun place to hang out with friends, there's something for everyone. The entire venue has a unique vibe that blends nostalgia with an energetic and welcoming environment. What really stood out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely excited about creating a great experience for guests. Even with the place being busy, they were helpful and made sure everything was running smoothly. Didn't get to try the food, but there were so many drinks to try! Everything we ordered came out fresh and exceeded expectations, making it easy to spend several hours here without needing to leave for a meal. They also have a switch near the bar for super smash bros! Favorite game of all time!

    Pros: Every single inch of wall of this place is plastered with absolutely stunning murals of all fandoms one could think of. Also, every square foot of floor space is crammed with wonderful and fun arcade games that will keep you busy for hours. We were there for literally six hours and only had to go for our dinner reservations. They have a nice little selection of beers, and a really nice selection of sweet slushy bases you can add harder liquor to. Really good bar. Cons: No real cons. Some would say the price, but for what you're getting here, I would think the price very reasonable. Tips: Arrive early, because during peak hours, this place can get really packed and it can get hard to find a free game.

    I walked into Arcade Monsters - 6362 International Drive and immediately felt my inner 12-year-old sprint past my adult responsibilities, flip them off, and dive headfirst into 1987. This place is not an arcade. It's an all-you-can-play, quarter-free, neon-lit time machine--and thank God--because if I had to feed this thing fistfuls of quarters like we did in the Reagan era, I'd need a second mortgage and a therapist. You're greeted at the door, stamped like you're entering a punk show or an underground fight club, and suddenly--boom--you're in. No coins. No timers. No nickel-and-diming. Just pure, uncut joystick freedom. Capitalism takes a smoke break and joy runs the room. Let's talk history for a second--because this matters. Arcades were the cathedrals of the 1980s. Dark rooms, glowing screens, electronic music buzzing like a bad decision. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong--these weren't games, they were rites of passage. You learned patience, rage control, and humility watching your name slide off the high-score list five minutes after you set it. Arcade Monsters resurrects that world--but without the cruelty of quarters. Air hockey tables slapping louder than bar arguments. Zoltar staring into your soul like he knows what you did in 1994. Pac-Man chomping away like rent is due. Japanese cabinets you've never seen outside of Tokyo or YouTube rabbit holes--beautiful, strange, and completely unforgiving. And yes--everything is here. The classics. The weird stuff. The "how is this even a game?" stuff. Pinball. Fighters. Rhythm games. Cabinets that smell like nostalgia and Mountain Dew. The vibe? Chaotic. Loud. Joyful. Slightly unhinged. The crowd ranges from nostalgia-drunk Gen-Xers reliving their glory days, to kids discovering that fun existed before microtransactions ruined everything, to grown adults locked in mortal Kombat combat like honor is on the line. And the entrance? Let's just say you're welcomed in with confidence and spectacle, like the place knows exactly what it is--and isn't apologizing for it. You're stamped, you're in, and the night belongs to you. There is food also. No need to leave. I was the only one pulling out my phone at this nightclub. It made the atmosphere just that much nicer to plug and unplug.

    This place is awesome! We spent a few hours here on a rainy day. They have great games for the whole family. Vintage games as well as modern games.

    Great service and a lot of games!! I came with my gf and we had a really great time. There's also a lot of pool tables. Def check it out!

    I decided to try out the arcade monsters on international Drive as a small birthday celebration with friends. They claim that this location is the largest- perhaps in square footage? They have really high ceilings and to me this made the building a little bit warmer than I would've liked. They have the high-movement/ dance/ rhythm games towards the back with lower ceilings, making it even warmer. We saw on their website there was an option to reserve a table. we thought this made a lot of sense just to make sure that our friends had a space to sit down. They only let you reserve for a few hours at a time for about $25. I think it makes a lot of sense if you are a larger group and you're planning on purchasing food at the venue. They did clarify that you were able to bring in a celebrate dessert- but no other outside food was allowed. They have a bunch of high tops scattered there are the building. Maybe it just happened to be the time that we were there, but I don't think that reserving a table for us was necessarily beneficial. Overall, everything was clean. Tables and stations had hand sanitizers that people could use. They have a large offering of drink drinks as well and almost every game has a place for where you can put your drink down safely. It was a great time for novice and advanced gamers.

    What an amazing arcade! I had so much fun here with all my friends ! The artwork is stunning, it covers all the walls, and even glows ! The drinks were definitely my favorite, they have a huge variety. The staff was attentive and made sure my group had a good time. Highly recommend to everyone!

    Such a fun place. From the wall art to all the arcade games. This place has it all. They have a small food and drinks area. We tried the chicken tenders with 5 different dipping sauces and they were surprisingly good. They have a small selection of beers a frozen drinks which is nice. The staff was friendly at eye food counter. There's a good variety of arcade games for all ages. The bathrooms were pretty cool and most importantly clean!

    Chelsea D.

    Everything is free play once u pay $25 to enter. It's $35 for in and outs! I recommend this place 100% There's alcoholic beverages and snacks (cheese fries, pizza, chicken strips, like little type snacks like that) and you can do frozen drinks without alcohol and they have non alcoholic beverages too. This place is fun for the whole family or a date night or anything! Its black light vibes and almost any game you can think of. They do have vending machines for an extra price and I saw a Photo Booth. The service is great too! There's not really prizes like at a chuckee cheese so don't expect that. But it's great!

There are so many different tapas to order from, and the best way to try as many as you can is to order the "Get 'Em All" that's offered at their Happy Hour. You can get like 9 different tapas for around $20. My absolute favorite item is the Cajun Chicken Egg Roll. It's stuffed with a good amount of chicken, goat cheese, some veggies, and is served with this not-so-tangy mustard sauce. For all the food that was provided, this is such a good deal. There are a ton of other menu items available, that the "Get 'Em All" doesn't cover, that are also definitely worth trying. The entire place is eclectic and oozing with art and creativity. The walls are covered in paintings and other art pieces made by local artists. Each artwork can be purchased to support them. Sometimes there is a live artist working on their art. You can support them directly by purchasing some prints or any completed pieces they have on display.

I'm glad we picked it because the whole experience was a lot of fun. The first thing you notice is all the artwork and colorful decor. Then a live contortionist started performing while we were eating, which definitely wasn't something I was expecting but made the place feel even more unique. Sebastian took great care of us. We had a few gluten free and other dietary restrictions at the table, and he answered every question without missing a beat. That kind of service always stands out. I had the sweet potato, the street corn and the butter chicken tikka masala, and every plate was worth ordering. I also tried the Starry Night cocktail. I normally avoid vodka whenever I can, but this drink completely won me over. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. If you're already heading to the attractions on I Drive or catching a movie nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. Great food, creative drinks and an atmosphere that's just plain fun without feeling like a tourist trap.

If you want "game on every wall" energy, it delivers. If you want competent service and food that justifies the price, that's where it fell apart for us. The wings were the bright spot: flavorful, cooked well, and the only thing I'd order again. The rest of the food ranged from fine to actively bad. The chicken tenders were ok, but oddly inconsistent, one piece was noticeably tiny compared to the others. The mustard sauce was genuinely good and did a lot of heavy lifting. The fries were below average, the kind you keep eating out of habit and then realize you're not enjoying them. The coleslaw was the dealbreaker, it tasted old and was basically inedible. Service was the bigger issue. It was slow, and not just in a "busy night" way. We didn't get plates when the appetizers hit the table, we had to ask. Same story with water: we ended up asking because we barely saw our server. I get that a place like this runs high volume, but the basics still matter, especially when the menu and prices suggest more than a bare-minimum experience. Drink-wise, the beer list didn't help. IPA options were limited, which is a weird miss for a sports bar that's clearly trying to be a destination. Bottom line: typical sports bar ambience, one solid item (wings), and a lot of reasons not to come back. I wouldn't return for the food, and the lack of healthier options doesn't give me another reason to choose it. If I'm on I-Drive, I can do better with less hassle.
