If you’re over 25 or older and not into video games, stop at the door, turn around and head across the street to Funky Buddha. If you’re younger and love gaming, this is your place for sure.

This place is a great vibe. While the paintings on the wall are nostalgic, I have to say the video games are even more. We went on their anniversary night which was also a costume party and had a great time. The wall of board games was great, and the music is very upbeat. If you are looking for a nice chill vibe…

Amazing local bar with a killer set of rotating beers, this place will make you feel right at home. Tons of events, themed karaoke, and amazing craft drinks makes this bar feel super special.

10/10 best game arcade bar in South florida! They have incredible themed game nights and a huge drink and even non alcoholic drink menu! The owners and bartenders are incredibly welcoming and so nice! I tried one of their hightails called the “dragons lair” sooooo delicious! Wonderful spot to hang out or date night fun!

Great! Fun games and unique drinks. The bartender with glasses is so kind and helpful.
The other bartender with blonde tips was rude and openly ignored my partner- multiple times! Couldn’t find the owner to complain. Otherwise, good.
If you’re over 25 or older and not into video games, stop at the door, turn around and head across the street to Funky Buddha. If you’re younger and love gaming, this is your place for sure. They have gaming at every corner, extensive list of beverages and even a food truck was outside. It wasn’t my kind of place, but I was able to sit back and watch others having a great time. I’d definitely recommend this spot to gamer enthusiasts.

I’m an original gamer. I played Might and Magic on my Apple II. I am Gen X at its finest. I am also a corporate executive and what some would consider a suit. My husband is a horror buff, martial arts enthusiast, dedicated console gamer and a fine example of Gen X himself. 10th level Tavern felt like coming home for both of us. It’s immaculately clean inside, everything is in great shape, decorated surprisingly well, and it’s clearly well loved by the owners. Ordering a couple of Guiness, loading up Metal Gear (Castlevania for me) and watching the wonderfully terrible Silent Hill movie on the enormous TV was everything. Ages ranged all over the place. Everyone was chill and welcoming. You’ll fit in whoever you are, just bring your love for all things gaming. Dope vibes indeed. 1000% recommend.

Man, where do I even begin. The journey began in December of 2019 and from the first time I walked through the doors I knew this would be my forever hangout spot. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit and I was sidelined for a few years but made my way back in 2023 and so happy I did!
This is THE premier arcade bar in South Florida and I would venture to say in all of the state itself! What makes it so appealing is a combination of factors. First, the drink selection is top-notch! Tenth is ALWAYS rotating out new craft beers every week or two for the public to try & enjoy while expanding on what types of both national & international alcoholic beverages you can choose from. For a bar that doesn’t serve liquor, you will most certainly get your drink fix!
Second, the service is as spectacular as you can imagine. Both owners & all bartenders are extremely endearing and extraordinarily personable. Hell, they will play games & hang out with you (when it is not packed to the brim). Third, it has to be the diverse schedule of events they put on. Anywhere from the consistent weekly events from karaoke to nerd trivia to the ever exciting new monthly events such as Klassic Experience to Drum & Bass sets on some Saturdays, entertainment comes in abundance.
However, the last and arguably most important point is…THE GAMES! Nah just playing, definitely a factor but truthfully the last one has to be the sense of camaraderie among the community. While the wide array & tremendously varied selection of games attracts (almost 10k), the people are what make this bar a true home for all who seek a place devoid of judgment and ultimately crave to immerse themselves in the greatest joy gaming can provide.
This place is the gold standard for mindfulness, inclusivity, engagement, excitement and everything else one can hope for when visiting an arcade bar. I HIGHLY recommend visiting and becoming apart of the family! NOT AI BTW!

Amazing local bar with a killer set of rotating beers, this place will make you feel right at home. Tons of events, themed karaoke, and amazing craft drinks makes this bar feel super special. One drink minimum is way better than a straight cover, plus unlimited games? a steal. I love the owners and how friendly they are, Nomee and Kira are super awesome- plus the bartenders Maria and Jeishon make this place super lively. Can’t recommend more, a really amazing place to stop by.
