Always a great experience, especially all the classic games I grew up with. A very safe environment for the family, not too crowded, and the price you cannot beat! Even the bathrooms are entertaining with comics plastered everywhere! Highly recommended for parties or just spending a few hours escaping the world playing video games.
Arcade Monsters is an adult child?s dream!!! The decoration of this place is so nostalgic with a neon flair! Every game you can imagine. Skeeball-basketball-pool hockey-pool- racing- pac man- ping pong- guitar hero- rock band- time crisis!!! You name it, they have it! Great assortment of beers and a full liquor bar! The food? DON?T! Just. Don't. This would be a 5 star review if the food was even editable (it wasn't) The fries were still frozen and the chicken didn't look or taste like chicken. Just a s
THIS WAS THE COOLEST ARCADE I HAD EVER BEEN TO. Between the pinball room, the retro room and all of the rhythm games you could think of. Kaiya was super sweet even though my friend and I were super complicated and needed to sample slushies before we purchased. ?? DEFINITELY COME TO MONSTER ARCADE!
1st time here, I will start out by saying don't buy the food here or drinks eat before you go. $5.00 plus tax for a hotdog that looks like crap. $ 21.00 plus tax for 2 drinks 1 that had 1 shot of alcohol in it the other drink no alcohol. As far as the games yes they have many old and new, alot of the games unfortunately are in a different language it will take some time just to get the game to play. They have how to signs on these machines but even with that it's confusing especially seeing the game is in a
What a fun way to spend a wedding anniversary! We went on a Thursday around 2 pm and spent hours to have unlimited fun. It wasn't too busy when we visited so we played as much as possible. There was a variety of arcade games that was possible and even nostalgia for everyone in the family. I'm not competitive by nature but playing at the arcade definitely made me competitive. 10/10 would recommend
Arcade Monsters is an awesome establishment. I love how you just pay an entrance fee and you get to play basically every game for free. It's the best arcade in Brevard County. I've only been here twice so far, but I love this place. I would love one of the comic books.
Amazing! Just go already! Lots of really new machines including rare pinball like the new DnD table! (Note you can make an online account and track your progress by QR code on your phone on newer pinball machines which is pretty cool.) I'm not normally really into pinball but I enjoyed their selection. Lots of import games you won't see elsewhere. A nice selection in multiple genres like fighting games, rhythm games, and shooters including several enclosed ones. Still sections of old classic arcade as wel
This arcade was so FREAKING COOL! Loved seeing the games my family showed me that made my childhood epic! Pinball has always been a favorite and the pinball room was amazing! 10/10!!!
It's got pretty much any arcade game you'd wanna play and some pretty 'rare' ones I haven't seen anywhere else. Giant pong table, mega shot, and my favorite, Black Emperor. For a few hours of fun the price isn't bad.
Arcade Monsters Arcade is a super fun place with an awesome vibe. The games are classic and modern, and the food and drinks are great too. Cool artwork and music everywhere. Definitely worth checking out!
Awesome and fun arcade. Definitely the best in Brevard. Price to go in is in the mid 20's, so it may sound slightly "expensive" but it's definitely worth it!! You'll be spending more for less at any other arcade. It's freeplay, all day. They have a huge selection of games, and machines are rarely broken. Bar's great and bartenders are very nice and friendly. Awesome place to go with friends and family!!
One of the most fun nights ever! Unlimited games for $23??? And then delicious slushies??? So much fun! I love the Luigi's Mansion game and the pinball machines. The staff was super helpful and nice! Also free water to stay hydrated :)
Y?all this place is so fun. $25 for endless games, new and old, from all over the world! A great way to spend a Saturday night. The staff is always friendly. Great place for a date. I've never eaten there but the drinks are fun, they have slushie shots, which was new for me but I enjoyed it! Nothing like getting a little buzz and playing Korean zombie shooter game, getting lost in a Japanese music game, or driving Mario kart with your friends ??
What a cool place! We happened upon this after having Hibachi. The kids had a blast! So much better than the Dave and Busters format! All free play with admission. No loading up cards and spending a fortune. Definitely coming back!!
I always go to the location in Oviedo and it's amazing but this location is huge and I love that so much space to have fun! Amazing will come again!
This is such a great place!! I am 60 years old and they have a lot of games i played in my younger days. The pinball room was my favorite. I wasn't sure I would remember how to play, but it all came back to me, like riding a bicycle!! We got hungry so ordered some pizza. It was fresh, hot. and really good!! The grand kids enjoyed it too. We will definitely come back again!!!
Great place to spend some time. Brought my 2 kids(ages 11 & 12) here for the first time and they loved it. One flat fee at the door and you're able to play almost the whole place on free play. There are a couple of machines that gives prizes/pictures and require payment. Everyone was very kind during our visit. Will come back when in the area, again. Thank you!
Fun place! Lots of games, very friendly staff, great vibes! I enjoyed going the few times I did, but I do feel that allowing reentry would add more value. I do understand WHY the arcade does not allow it, however. My experience was overwhelming positive but I do have one disappointment and that was in my drink. I ordered a double shot alcoholic slushie for around $20...and I didn't taste or feel any alcohol to my disappointment. Im usually a lightweight when drinking and I usually never have problems with d
The family and I love this place. Fun for all ages. Pay once and it's unlimited play. Huge selection of 'functioning' games. Food, drinks, fun events, cool atmosphere, awesome staff. We've only been 8 or 9 times and each one was a blast. There's nothing negative to say. I hope they continue to be successful and stick around for many years.
Absolutely loved this place. Food was good but the game selection was fabulous. Old games, new games, and some games I needed a translator to play. Great time spent hours here Definitely be back.
Very cool place, almost like a hidden gem.
Went with friends and had a blast. Loved the unlimited games. Had a lot of different group and duo games along with single player.
This place was pretty cool. Arcade, food & drinks. We had a good time.
Many of the machines were not working and there was no food available either for purchase. It wasn't too bad there until they had a camp of about 60 children come in. With there being quite a lot of the machines not working , it became very uncomfortable and crowded. It was also very warm in the main room. Very disappointing.
Great place to bring the family for a fun arcade night. There are plenty of arcades and other gaming equipment to play without limits. The bar is also surrounded by consoles for you to play while you enjoy a drink. Two major complaints for me would be the lack of no cash sign outside the establishment. Only once you go in to pay is when you find out that it is cards only, no cash. My second complaint is the lack of seating for those who are playing and just want to sit and wait. Your only option is to sit a
If you love the feelings that come with being nostalgic, this place could be for you! It has every arcade game that I couldn't wait to play over and over again as a kid. (Only this time I didn't have to worry about running out of tokens and having to go home). In addition there are air hockey tables and a wide selection of pinball machines! It is $22.00 for unlimited play and they have two huge rooms filled with nostalgic overload. They serve food, slushies, soda, water, there are places to sit, and they
This place is awesome! A little hidden gem. Didn't expect it to be this cool. Staff is polite and helpful! Lots of video games, Pinball machines, and many other games to have loads of fun. Absolutely recommend this places for a kids party or just to hang out and have fun.
Very cool place! Lots of (free play!!) Japanese arcade cabinets, I personally had a blast on Initial D Zero and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy! And that's not even mentioning the rows of pinball machines and classic 80s/90s cabinets they have! The burgers we ordered for dinner were also delicious, and the frozen mixed drinks were very good as well. I would highly recommend giving this location a visit if you're looking for a great arcade experience.
Decent amount of games...When we went 06/10/2025 their AC was not working, half the games were down, and their kitchen was closed due to a small fire and damage. We did get charged a little less because of their inconvenience.
Love this place! Never misses great for everyone all ages plus a full bar never misses. Food is great as well!
This place is awesome.. retro, new, shooters, driving, skill games and pinball. The Japanese games are really cool too. Food n drinks and the staff was chill. Like 25 bucks.. I usually spend 50+ at any arcade so well worth it. Giddyup
The most amazing update arcade adventure ever most up-to-top games that you would ever see around. The staff super amazing. Games are all kept up to par. The bathrooms is amazing up to a whole Nother level of arcade and comic book artifacts. Kat, Shannon and Jayden.. wicked staff very helpful when Suggestion food game choices and fun times
it's a hit or miss here. i have chosen to give it four stars due to a slight issue here. the design of the place is cool, and extremely good staff. i have only one or two complaints though! one is that the machine's are too loud. i normally walk out with my voice lost due to how i have to scream to talk normally, and my hearing gets messed up for a few hours. :( my second complaint is that i've been going off and on for about a year to play DDR here. most of the time the DDR pads will work fine. recently,
This is an awesome secret in Melbourne..unlimited games for one entry fee is amazing and the food is not too overly priced. The indoor decor is done extremely well and the staff is 100% nice and on top of cleaning games and the entire arcade area. I will keep bringing my kids here!
This a great place to go for some fun! They have retro arcade games, pinball machines, and so much more! It s flat rate and you play unlimited for however long you want! My 4yr old had a blast!
It's a really fun place to go burn a few hours. You go in and pay to enter and you can play on all of the machines and there are a lot of them. I would recommend everyone in the area to go to it at least once. My only issue is the drinks and food they have are a little expensive, but what isn't now.
Electrical fire caused half the arcade to go down. Arcade is still open, please don't fault them for that, it's a great place. Wish the slushies were available. Hoping it can fully reopen soon. Best of luck everyone! ?
Visiting from Argentina, my son and husband wanted to play, I walked in to watch them as I do not play. Was going to have a drink and was approached by a lady that told me that I could not stay there unless I paid for full pass. I left and sat in the car. The place was 90% empty.
I've been here a couple of times. I brought my son today for his birthday. Awesome game variety. They've got plenty of new and retro options to choose from. I wish they had specials or discounts during weekdays? they have alcohol but it's pricey and so is the food, so eat before-hand if you're on a budget. If you don't want to play, you still have to pay $10 to hang out. But, overall, for what there is to do around here, it's a really cool spot with decent value. I will definitely be back.
Great mix of new, vintage and unique games. Food was better than expected and they serve drinks!
Plenty of space and variety. The frozen drinks are stellar, also had pizza and baked pretzel w/dipping sauce, both wre very good. Overall it was money well spent.
Honestly wasn't expecting to have this much fun when my son asked to come to Arcade Monster for his birthday! You could be here for hours in a blink of an eye. Games for every age. Even for the geriatric millennials and beyond ??.
Arcade Monsters was a HIT in my books. All the vintage to modern games are all here, and I can appreciate the environment with the fun colors and amazing atmosphere. They have pool tables, ski ball, and also Smash Bros Ultimate. They also have a place you can eat at, but it is expensive to buy, so in my opinion, eat something before going. The best thing about this place is that for all the fun experience it's only $20. For that price, you're really getting a bang for your buck for ultimate and unlimited
I've come here with my boyfriend a few times for date nights and the atomosphere is always great and the employees are always nice!! 10/10 always a fun time!! (Shoutout to Jaina for being a delight!!)
Nostalgia is plentiful at this gem! So many classic arcade and pinball games EVERYWHERE! They even have pinball with modern twists?like Walking Dead and Stranger Things! Individual gaming sections, group games, skeeball, baseball, basketball, pool and so much more. Wow, such a cool place! Be warned - this place does not offer ? la cart game playing - it's done through a cover charge. So, it was very costly for us as we ate dinner there, and paid the cover. I wish I had looked ahead and realized you couldn?
This place is super great!! I've been here a ton of times, and I never get bored. They have a huge selection of rhythm games (my favorite), a whole room of retro games, a whole room of pinball machines, and any other kind of game that you can think of. They even have tvs connected to Nintendo Switches at the bar. They also have a claw machine, and a couple vending machines. They don't take cash at the bar though, so make sure to bring your card. Another thing that's fun is the selection of multiplayer games
Fist time coming here and we had fun. We did not try out the food. They have a second floor and the view from up Thierry looking down at the other games is spectacular. The second floor is a bit hot but they have console style games. We are definitely coming back with a group to make our experience even better next time around.
Was really fun with lots of everything. Racing, retro, awesome shooting games, I spent 5+ hours there. Be aware of the high drink prices. At the weekend it gets real busy at like 1pm and it's hard to get on a lot of things, but the crowd is friendly.
I loved it here! Katlyn and Laney were so awesome. My favorite game was super bikes 3!
There are a ton of great games. Only a couple weren't working, so it was easy to find something to play. There were non alcoholic frozen drinks. Some of our group got food and everyone was happy with what they got. We arrived at 7pm and it was not too crowded. I left at 9 and it was getting pretty crowded. We all had a fun time.
Incredible value for the money. Usually at arcades of this size a bunch of games are out of order, but I only noticed two. Excellent variety of stuff: pinball, table games (foosball, air hockey, pool, etc) and all kinds of arcade games old and new of all sorts.
I had a a blast because there was a lot of fun games I would come back here. Love the decorations
Bro and I hang out here a lot. Drinks are good. The games are amazing, they added some new ones recently. I have yet to try the food because they seem a little pricey but, after you pay the entry fee you're good to go
Wanted to walk in after I got some food nearby. It was like midnight. Came in and was told I needed to pay $25 to even enter as a ?pass for all the games ?. Yall. This is a small arcade bar. There was barely anything to even choose from. I only wanted to throw in a few dollars and play some stuff and leave. Lots of arcade bars don't force you to pay to enter. Would probably get more customers if you didn't charge them to go inside.
Went here on a whim after having seen it under construction awhile back and it perked my interest. Girlfriend and I had an absolute BLAST. Extremely friendly staff, very clean establishment, all the games in great working order which couldn't be easy with the old ones, and a huge variety to enjoy. Wall art in itself is a huge treat and I couldn't stop admiring it between rounds of pool and the arcade. I sent some friends pictures and one declared it Nerd Heaven. I'm inclined to agree. 20 dollar charge for
Not your average arcade! Many pool tables, pin ball machines, basketball, old school games, new games and even some neat Chinese games. The bar and food area was pretty large. Not just for kids, it's a neat adult hang out spot too. We spent a good 3 hours here. This one is better then the other one in town that's similar.
What a fun place to visit! Definitely recommend for families with kids over 7. A lot of the games are tall. It's definitely built for an older crowd. Get there right when they open for less crowds!
Every time I go to this location I have a great time and am always met with great service from the bartenders. Tonight Lily served me and was amazingly patient and kind as she got through the busy line and helped everyone. This is a great place for all ages as it has something to do for everyone! I highly recommend coming here as a date option, family night out, or a solo trip to work on your gaming skills. Tip your bartenders!!
A cool vibe spot . Unlimited play ! Took my 11 year old on a guys day. Nostalgic games from the 90s and 2000s arcade games mixed with pinball games , ski ball , newer games and random hand held consoles around the bar. They sell decent bottle beer , ciders and some mixed drinks ( no liquor bar). Food is basic see the menu but we really just came to check it out We are in Orlando next week and we will check that location For a few hours of rainy day fun I'd come here again ! Staff was friendly ! *
Very cool place to bring the kids, or even have date night! Not as busy week days. Very loud, so if you or someone else has sensory issues, I would suggest noise cancelling headphones. ;) So many games!! They have new games, & retro games. Also a bar with drinks & food. & Sanitizer at the tables.
Such an amazing Acade! Well worth the price, $25 for unlimited game play, and we spent 5 hours in there. All the games are kept up, and there is such a variety for everyone. Also, I really loved the slushy drinks (would advise doubles). ??
The coolest arcade I've ever been to. Such a wide range of games and the one entry price to get in is wayyyy better than sitting there worrying about how many tokens I'm keeping track of. Also had a great vibe/aesthetic.
Place was AMAZING ?? family and i love it the pizza was great the drinks are beyond great price famoly friendly babies to teenagers please visit if near by an if not drive out to come see what they offer .
Love the vibes here!! We came last year and loved it so we had to come back ?? make sure you wear something black light reflective ??
Amazing place. They had a variety of games including some classics. The service was nice. The food was a little bit greasy but tasty. The mall have a lot of parking and good illumination during the night.
Went with my uncle and it was really good good food good drinks loved there games I was having so much fun and you can play all day before they close which is really all some
The kids had a great time. For $20.00 each THEY CAN PLAY ALL DAY .. and not have to pay for the coins or cards to play.The food is NOT GOOD. The cheesesteak tasted like catfood and smelled weird as well.. Not much for the grown ups unless you like to drink though.. but overall the kids had fun and the food was expensive.
Great selection of pinball machines (that's what I came for). Some cool new and retro arcade stuff too. Flat fee, pay once and then after that everything is on free play. Staff was very friendly and the place was super clean. Here's what impressed me the most. Having been to other arcades I'm used to seeing broken pinball machines or issues that come up with them while playing. Usually they just get turned off and who knows when they'll get fixed. At this place I mentioned a couple issues with the games
This arcade has everything you could ever want. Pool tables, drinks, food, old AND new games and a photo booth . Super cute paint and decor inside. Smash or pass? I say smash ??
This is one of the coolest places. Great for the family on a hot day. So much fun and such good food and drinks.
Wow! This place is awesome with lots of retro and new arcade games. Love the Japanese drum and music games which are so rare to find in the US. It is clear that the owners spent a lot of time and money on the paintings and cool carpet, not to mention the statues in the gigantic room and the antiques including Zoltan in the Halloween room. Very nicely done. It was also good to see a mechanic working to keep the games in playing condition. Bathrooms were clean. The comic book page decoupage art on the walls
This place is awesome, you walk in and automatically get hit with nostalgia. I felt my childhood in this place. I got to play games with my 22 yr old son and showing him games that I used to play when I was young and some new games as well. Beating him in Street fighter was great. We both had a blast here, I will definitely be returning every chance I get when I visit my son. ????
My son loves this place. I always have such a great time coming here with him. Great family place to hang out and have some fun! The staff are always so friendly as well.
Favorite place to bring the kids to play video games for hours. We are regulars and can't wait for our next visit. Rooms for old school games, pinball, and groups as well as more Dpent games with the best bathrooms around.
I wasn't sure what to expect at this place but I was very pleasantly surprised. The $20 entry fee seems steep at first, but all the games are "free play" once you're in. If you spend a few hours there it's totally worth it. As for the games and the vibe of the place, they're both awesome. It's obvious a lot of effort went in to creating a fun and interesting place. The walls are covered with cool black light art and the bathrooms are covered with comic book pages. The game selection is amazing as well. Lot
A great experience! $23 for all you can play is unbeatable.Friendly staff and great vibes. 10/10 recommend.
Very fun arcade you only play $25 and you get to play until 2A.M. The bartender is very chill and assist you right away. 10/10.
Such an awesome arcade! $20 for unlimited game play with tasty drinks, Brett helped us out with getting wrist bands and drinks. Had fun with all the pinball games and racing games are the best.
This place is such a fun addition to Melbourne! Alyssa was awesome and made some BOMB drinks. There's a great selection of games to play and all of the neon art adds a unique twist to it all (we loved all of the animes that were included). We will definitely be back!
This place is awesome! Had a blast will definitely be back!! Worth the $20! Very good selection of new and old school games!! 2 hours flew by!!
Loved my time at Arcade Monsters Melbourne! They offer an awesome selection of games and the food and drinks are top-notch. The vibe is fun and the staff are super friendly. Definitely a must-visit for a good time!
Had a great time with my wife n 2 Year old
I love it here, I had so much fun and they have so many fun arcade games, retro, classic, and Japanese for some reason it's so much fun!! Perfect date night location
The facility and games are nice. One of the game rooms wreaks of farts. The staff is half clothed wearing a neon light up bra as a top. Children?s game arcade with strippers as servers. Interesting combo.
I visited today from Cleveland, Ohio before I flew out tomorrow. My sister, niece, son and I had a wonderful time. I was time warped into my childhood and overseas with all of the games available. Even when my son misplaced his phone, we instantly found it and continued with the fun. This is great hidden gem within the city for outsiders. The young lady working the bark with the really cool makeup was super sweet as well. Next time im back in town, ill visit again
Was impressed with the blend of new and old games as well as the wide array of japanese games the inner weeb in me was screaming happily. The admission is 20 bucks for all day thing you can leqve and come back if you have a wrist band so if you need to do things at home you can leave the place is open till 2am so if you need to relieve some stress after work come on down. The load fries are delish and pair well with a virgin strawberry margarita and i loved the mech game starwing paradox i was hooked.
very fun games , you can spend plenty time here
We're from Vermont and ALWAYS make time to stop by this epic arcade! Highly recommend! My toddler can't wait to try the hot dog ;) ??
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Yes, rhythm games in arcades are a vibrant hit in 2025! Titles like Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania deliver high-energy fun, blending music, movement, and precision. Modern machines boast vivid displays, booming sound systems, and diverse song libraries, from J-pop to EDM. They challenge reflexes and rhythm, with competitive leaderboards and tournaments fostering a lively community. Arcade dance floors are regularly packed, proving rhythm games’ immersive, physical thrill keeps them a standout in today’s gaming scene.
