Reviews
First time at Retro Bop this morning and I loved it, the owner created us with a warm welcome. The place is one hundred percent a gaming area. Retro Bop has outstanding beers from a number of breweries and the main event was the food, we had the Weekend Warrior, so many different flavours, this is definitely a must. We ended up ordering more food, as it was so nice.
Good vibes, cold beer, great cocktails. The owner is friendly as could be. Something different going on there every night; I have a great time every time I go.
This place is the bees knees! They have an amazing array of drinks, great location tucked away. Games of all kinds from old school Atari all the way to PS5. They have arcades with 1,000s of games, game nights, Bingo, movie nights and more. Bar snacks great music and just overall super vibes. Joel and his wife,the owners are wonderful people and are highly attentive. We love coming here and I highly suggest their speciality cocktails and the Vietnamese Grog!
A really cool place to hang out and have a drink. It is a video game / geek themed bar, but don't let that put you off. They strike a good balance between catering to their core demographic without alienating normies. That said, if you are a gamer, they do offer a wide variety of digital (arcade, console) and board games to satisfy your entertainment needs. Thet have a really unique drinks menu with cocktails I doubt you'll find anywhere else. A wide range of flavors from sweet to spicy! The cocktail selection is quite fun. It's a cool space. I think they can cater to larger groups in their outdoor space, and the indoor are is quite an intimate space. Ideal spit for groups of 3-4 I think. The staff and iwbers are super friendly, so you wouldn't feel too out of place showing up solo. Definitely worth checking out!
Small and cozy pub. Super friendly owner and staff. The place hosts many activities throughout the week and has arcade machines with tons of game. Some menu items look quite fun as you mix and match using D20 dice. Overall a chill vibe.
