Great atmosphere, AMAZING selection of video games and drinks, too! Just left a new monthly music bingo night...it was hilarious! The host was interactive and so friendly as well as welcoming. Apparently they do a different theme monthly. Will for SURE be back!

Hands down the absolute best barcade in Florida!! The beers, drinks, the people, the games, music, the trivia, and much more! If you like any that I could not me it enough!

Very cool spot to go and enjoy a drink at. They also have events with djs to enjoy dancing to some beats every now and then. Owners and staff are very welcoming. Every table has old school games on them. Highly recommended, especially to gamers.

Always the best time at Tenth Level. Highly recommend checking them out. They have the best selection of craft beers and hard seltzers. They host many frequent events from gaming, trivia nights, open mic, open decks, hip hop, dnb. The staff is fun and friendly and the owners are awesome! A must go for sure !

This establishment provides an exceptional atmosphere and outstanding customer service, making it ideal for a date night or a gathering of friends who appreciate video games and quality music. I highly recommend it. Also to mention that the beer and mix drinks were amazing and creative. The bar was one of the cleanest that I have seen in long time ????????

Enjoy live hip-hop talent that lights up the stage and indulge in great food and sip on expertly crafted brews (their craft leaders know their stuff) that perfectly complement the urban yet relaxed vibe. Whether you're there for the beats or the bites, every detail is set to elevate your night. Experience the Tenth Level difference?where live music, mouthwatering flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere create unforg

Low key video great select of both retro, classic and modern games plus board games. Great DJ too would recommend to bring someone on a first date or if you just want to meet video game buddies they have it all and good music. Good truck outside on weekends

Great place to play some games and grab a soda, sake or beer. Note that you must be 21 or older to enter. You can try an assortment of games from arcade classics, PS1, Sega Genesis and Sega 32X to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. They have different activities throughout the week such as anime themed events. If you're looking for a place to unwind while playing some games, then this bar is for you.

Excellent vibes, great beer selection, and has gaming options in spades. They gave both retro games (niche and mainstream) as well as multiplayer console games. Extremely friendly staff too, made me feel right at home. Hope to visit again soon!

Had a great time at their event. Good drinks, friendly staff, fun people to chat with. Definitely coming by again.

Have a great time. We would be back again.

The most recent renovation really uplifted and organized the bar a lot. The owner proved that less is better sometimes when it comes to games. Truly an amazing bar, amazing drinks, amazing variety of games, 10/10

My first time here and I already love it! The best part besides the variety of games, is the bartender. She was the sweetest and helpful person. She even offer to help us out if we didn't know what to order. Absolutely a 10/10 place.

A friend introduced me to this place a couple of years ago and I've been hooked ever since! Lucky is by far the best bartender in South Florida, fight me. Plus the nostalgic video games are such a blast from the past, this place is too awesome

Lot's of options for couch gaming with several Switches and PS5s. Also available are retro emulators at the bar. Shelf of board games in the back seating area. 1 drink minimum for use of consoles/etc. Music is kinda loud if you want to have conversations without raising your voice.

Still the BEST BARCADE in BROWARD !!! Love Joe and the crew! Tons of Raspberry Pi's, Xbox's, Playstation's, Nintendo's, for your gaming desires while you enjoy plenty of craft beer and other non-alcoholic selections (but why would you do that to yourself?)

Awesome place, great atmosphere. If you enjoy video games and good music swing by for a drink or 2 and soak in the good vibes.

Best barcade in South Florida, events all week with the friendliest hosts. Their trivia nights are ??????

An Unforgettable Experience at Tenth Level Tavern ?????????? If you're searching for the ultimate night out, look no further than Tenth Level Tavern. This gem perfectly blends the nostalgia of classic arcade games with the vibrant energy of a top-tier live music venue. It's the kind of place where fun knows no bounds, and every visit feels like an epic adventure. **Arcade Heaven** Step inside, and you're immediately transported to an arcade lover's paradise. The walls are lined with retro classics like Q

They don't serve mixed drinks and if you're not a beer drinker oh well. The young waitress was totally rude after I brought my wife a beer and they didn't have anything I could drink. She told me I couldn't stay. Not at all cool. Can't recommend it . Horrible people horrible place. Makes non beer drinkers leave!!?

Great vibe, games, and music! Would love to see more selections from the alcohol selections. It's giving "The Afterlife", in its own charismatic way!

Awesome Videogame BAR! Friendly staff and they have EVERYTHING. Had some great brews and played Mortal Kombat 1, SF6, on Fight nights, and Tekken 7 tournaments are always a blast. Karaoke is always fun when gaming between tunes. Nome throws amazing events with some actual Miami talent spinning on the regular every month. This place is low key and always a fun time. Highly recommend.

Great place with definitely come back next t8me we're in Oakland park.

It's a great spot for trivia, and to unwind after a long day, I left my work schedule at the door and dove head first into the gaming vibe.

The staff and vibe were immaculate. The beer selection was on point. Will definitely be coming back soon.

This bar has great seating, and we loved the gamer themed interior design. We also really enjoyed the face painting and Tarot reading that they had for the Day of the Dead party. We're looking forward to their next event! ??

I recently revisited this fantastic video game bar and was blown away by how much it has grown since my last visit years ago. The space is now larger than I remembered, and they've added a stage where they host karaoke nights, which adds a whole new level of fun to the atmosphere. What really stands out are the different themed nights they offer, making every visit unique and exciting. On some nights, they even have a food truck parked outside, serving up delicious eats to go with your drinks. The vibe is

This is my favorite bar in SoFlo! So many fun events all throughout the week!

Small place, but plenty of screens. We had good service. Karaoke night was definitely entertaining- Tuesday's at 8. Located across from Funky Buddha. Good two stop combo on a week night. No smoking.

We had a fantastic team building event at Tenth Level with our company. What a unique and fun experience! We will be planning another one soon.

Tenth level is one of my favorite party spots in south florida. The games, the music, the atmosphere and the vibe are exactly what I want to see when I go out for a fun night of drinks with my crew. They always have the best music, awesome craft beers, video games, events, and the neon retro gaming decor is awesome. Highly recommend this place only if you want to have a great time.

Fantastic affordable beer and *every* retro video game imaginable that you'd want to play. This is my new favorite place in the area and will be coming here often. Love this place!

Tenth level tavern is one of my favorite places in South Florida to go to. Not only do they have every game you've ever wanted to play but they have theme nights. They have open mic night, trivia, karaoke, I mean the list goes on. If you haven't been, I suggest you give it try and I guarantee that you will have found your new favorite bar.

My husband loves video games and he loves beer so imagine the excitement when I found a place that is nothing but video games and beer. He has been hooked on it ever since I first took him there last year and every time we're in the Ft. Lauderdale area it's a must on our list of places to visit. Took him and my daughter and it was nonstop fun as always.

Love the atmosphere, the vibes and it's a great place to unwind and play some video games or a great place to listen to a live dj. The owners are just wonderful. The bartenders know their stuff and are friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out.

This place is Uber fun. Jam packed with a great selection of games, consoles and music. For any techy person, it's clear how they pull this off and why it may also be an issue down the road (but I ain't no Snitch). This also explaines why the place is kind dinkyl, if a bars asthetic bothers you then a drink here may be an issue. The alcohol can be a bit on the pricey side and offers a very bizzare and diverse variety flavors and meads. Overall if you have a friend who likes video games and wanna place to c

Too many good memories here. Best FGC spot in SoFlo

Awesome place. The owner and his crew are all friendly and a blast. Theres booths with PS5s, Nintendo Switches, and a few arcade machines as well. The bar has like 9 screens with emulators of every possible game and system. Also an amazing place for a date night!

1st time at this Spot!!! Old school vibes!!!! It's Friday and there was Karaoke and your host was DJ Felicia!!!!

Awesome place and awesome vibes to have some drinks and play games with friends.

I love Tenth Level. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The beer selection they have are awesome. The staff are well knowledgeable on there beers and know what to serve you. The gaming is off the chain, they have almost any game you can think of and this is coming from old gamer. Besides games and great beer selection, I have been to some great DNB and Hip Hop shows there. I would definitely recommend if your in the south Florida area to stop by and check them out. Trust, you will not re

Great music and selection of beers

Love this place. Amazing craft beers and wines not to mention delicious cold brew drinks. Every video game you can imagine plus the music and different events are always on point.

Interesting idea for a bar. Completely empty when we were there but it was a Sunday evening. Only issue is that selecting one of the many retro hand is difficult (what button to press) to make the selections. That got frustrating. Otherwise a fun place.

Great atmosphere and drinks went on a karaoke night it was fun time

Hot nerds unite. So much dang fun. Go alone or with friends, this is for sure the best bar I've been to in Fort Lauderdale. Free games at the bar of all your old favs - I played Jungle Book and Lion King and suddenly it was closing time. ????????

As an artist who regularly puts on events this is possibly one of my favorite venues to collaborate with. The staff is amazing, the ambience of the location is great, and the parking for guest has never been an issue. I have a night called La Plancha which showcases 5 local hiphop acts and the last 11 events have all taken place at Tenth Level Tavern. The bar manager is more than accommodating and the sound is great. If you love video games, good music and enjoy quality beer this is the place for you.

Great selection of games to play for free while enjoying beer :)

We had a ton of fun here for New Year's eve. Great drinks and a really awesome vibe. They had a DJ and lots of fun things to do. I've been living in the area for a bit but never stopped in and I'm very glad we did.

Nome and kira are great owners and love videogames as much as they love music - which every weekend brings something fun for everyone. Biased because I DJ there, but honestly at this point of my career I only like to Dj for places & clients I ENJOY playing music for. I go for noights I have nothing to do with, like their trivia nights (and sometimes win lol). It's been a blast since they officially took over during fall of 2023.

Great local spot, never disappoints. I always have a good time when I'm at Tenth Level. Service is great and I don't have to wait long for a game, if I have to wait at all. So glad to have this spot in the community to be able to drink and play. Cheers to 8 years and many more!

Always dope vibes, games, events, and beers. Congrats to their team! TLT is something special.

Been going here for years, great beer, excellent service and a nice spot for anyone into video games. Their All your bass night where they bring out DnB DJs is awesome, fight nights are fun too for anyone into Tekken, street fighter or smash. Overall, solid place if you want to hang out with friends.

The monthly drum and bass party called ALL YOUR BASS is top knotch! ?? what a dazzling selection of brews, meads and tasty beverages. The staff is the best and sure to enjoy good cheer with you. The gaming selection is out of this world! This has become my favorite bar in broward!

Fun barcade for gamers! They have a long beer list. I wished that they had a decent diet/sugar free drink option too. They carry some boylen sodas.

If you are looking for a very friendly place where you can throw down some quality ales, catch awesome music and other fun events while playing some video games for free, then Tenth Level Tavern is the place to be! Don't sleep on this amazing spot!

Fun, fun, fun. Fantastic drinks. Awesome people. Love it.

Meh, needs way more games for a video game bar. And I got sent back to my car for my Yeti water bottle on a Monday night after already being inside for 5 minutes right before I was about to order a drink, I would understand enforcing that type of rule if it was a busy Friday but Monday?? So, I just left and went to Glitch bar instead ??

Awesome barcade! They have any old school game you can think of, a lot of fun!

The staff, the vibe, the excellence to the whole place is a win. My wife and I were visiting the area and so glad we came across this gem. Stop in and make some friends, play some games from the 80s to current!

Always a great experience at Tenth Level. Whether it's Karaoke, Drum&Bass, or Hip Hop Night, you can't go wrong. Free games, the friendliest of staff, and plenty of craft beer options.

They play DnB here!!!! Woohoo. Last Saturday of most months. Everyone we meet here is cool people. Very laid back atmosphere. There's video games, pretty much, everywhere you sit, at bar and at booths. Bathrooms are clean too ??. They usually have food outside. Parking is convenient and free. Tenth Level is located @ Dixie a lil north of Oakland. Cool lighting, Cool people. Cool music. What else could you ask for!!!!

Pretty fun if you are into beer and video games. The crew working there are chill and they have a crazy huge variety of games. The beer choices are good aswell. I recommend the banana beer!!

Great vibes, great drinks, they have a ton of games available. If you're looking for a fun night out or a date night this is the place to go!

Cool spot with so many games to play. I love coming to the Mario Kart Tournaments here. There's a little taco cart that's usually right outside and they can make plant-based tacos if you ask, pretty good! The karaoke nights are lit and the crowds are always fun. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a chill loungey place to play games and meet cool peeps??

Super trendy video game beer bar with an extensive craft beer list and a plethora of game systems available to play. Outside smoking and lounge areas available.

The bartenders, Felicia and Maria, are very kind, welcoming and knowledgable. It feels like I'm visiting with good friends when I'm here and I love the variety of events that are hosted- in particular Drum & Bass, which is every third Saturday. So it's on like Donkey Kong (intended pun ;) tonite!! Thank you to everyone that contributes to making this place possible<3

Amazing Tavern, games and beer. Nothing could be better!

We went on a quiet monday, place was almost empty. Barmaid?s really kind and gave us all the info. There's pretty much any games you want to play on older gen and there's the essential multi game (mario kart, super smash and other fighting games). PS5 didn't have a lot of games, which was a bummer. Some remote were broken from hard use.

Social bar gaming with good music, I really enjoyed the vibe

Great beer and great games. I love that they host local tournaments. After coming to this place many times over the past year, I can say that it continues to get better. It still has that locals only vib and they keep on trying Me things to better the scene. They started doing comedy nights which are lots of fun and they have been live streaming tournaments so you can stay connected to the community even if you are present.

First time visiting, the place looked amazing, like a gamers dream come to life. Great music. Great atmosphere. The bartender "Lucky" was delightful/helpful and didn't make me feel pressured to run a large tab. The selection of games ranged from recent releases to retro style games from decades ago. Came on "Beat saber sunday" and tore it up with my friends. Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing service & nicest bartenders I've ever known! I love how this bar (unlike other game bars) you don't have to pay to get in and you don't need to pay for the games (the retro ones you can add in more credits or coins). The only thing I should fix for retro games is how to use the controller, fixing certain games that cannot be played, & the controllers (some of them are a bit jammed)

This place literally has almost every video game you can think of that you played when you were a child! (Would love to see GameCube games added!!) prices of drinks were typical of other bars and the games were free which is incredible. Had so much fun. Wish there was a place like this in my hometown

First and foremost, the place is amazing. This is what I find to be rare, video games and beer. Beautiful combo. The people you meet here are always fairly friendly or competitors. Second of all, I love Lucky. She is simply the best hands down. She honestly brings the whole vibe together and definitely is a sweetheart. Always gives you nothing but her best. Beyond superb establishment and I always come with friends, always make friends.

Best place ever! The service was immaculate and they had so many games to play. I highly recommend coming here. Felt just like home but even better!

Went with my husband. Perfect for gamers! Fun, lots of games to choose from, new and classics! Play while relaxing, have a great time and some beer of course! They have different sections for different consoles. They have a large beer menu. If you don't know what to get, just tell the bartender what you like and they will give you suggestions and are quite on point. Can't wait to go back!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
