Most of the arcade bars that I have been in North America have really old games, and sometimes they don’t offer much variety either! Based out in downtown Toronto, The Rec Room has tried to do things a bit differently.
At Rec Room, You will find all sorts of arcade games such as MotoGP, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), Halo, Hot Wheels. The arcade machines are fitted with high definition screens for an amazing gaming experience!
The place also features a massive patio, probably one of the biggest I have seen at any place in Toronto! Their indoors is massive as well, and the venue does have pool tables in another large room.
I have been to this place a number of times and it has always been a great experience! My personal favorite has been the Kung Fu Panda Dojo Mojo Arcade Machine which is highly interactive! If you ever end up going to visit this place, you have to play the Dojo Machine!
