Coin-op Game Room - San Diego

The drinks and service are excellent, but it gets really crowded. The patio is great, but often when we go, it's closed.

I came here for a small gathering with my group, and it was a nice spot to enjoy a drink. The atmosphere was definitely vibrant and lively.

Really fun place! Bring cash to put in the change machine, games take quarters only. Mostly pinball and shooting games. Staff was all super friendly and helpful. They mix good cocktails, and have a strong beer list. It can be quite loud, but everyone was having a good time. Don't skip the chicken tenders!

On a positive note, I did enjoy the Area 51 game. Now, about the drinks: we tried the Power Punch because I thought it would be fun, served in a Capri Sun-like pouch. It was $12, but the drink portion was tiny and felt extremely weak—I hardly tasted any alcohol at all. The bartender also wasn't friendly; she didn't even make eye contact during our interaction and was busy talking to someone else. Overall, stopping by here was a mistake.

Connor, Tony, and Ryder are fantastic! I absolutely love this bar; you should definitely keep coming back—you won't regret it! The door staff also deserve a shout-out for their great service.
