Power Up Bar - Toronto, Ontario

I have been here twice and what a great experience. There is a large selection of games to play, nice tvs and the staff seems extremely friendly and accommodating. We arrived later at night and have been able to sit in a booth both times, might be different depending on ... the night and time but I haven’t sat at the bar and played games. Drinks seem reasonably priced and the controllers are in good condition, will definitely be back. Read more

Went here for a work event. Lots of different games and love the look of the place! It’s like it’s from tron or the future haha The cocktails were all really good. Very balanced and they were really fast at making them and taking your order. Just had a little of ... the food but it was all really yummy. Duck wings? Mmmm really nice honey Asian sauce on them that made me eat way too many Read more

I came for the Sexy Nerds Cosplay event and it was a pretty fun time. While it was not the easiest to get your hands on a table for group play, it was understandable due to demand and crowd size. I found the drinks to be pretty decent and averagely priced. ... The bartenders are also attentive and nice. The dj was good and the energy was bumping. Note: it's fairly casual so no need to put on your clubbers best, but come neat and clean. The environment is also very inclusive and I would say the crowd is slightly older than most (25-40?). Good fun 👌🏾 Read more

Super cool place to game at - you can game as long as you want, as long as there's something to eat or drink out in front of you. Had an amazing time and stayed for close to 7 hours playing a variety of games across multiple systems. Food was ... tasty - my only complaint is that the portions are a bit small for the price.

[Foreword: My visit last week was mired with problems - the waiter was slow and took a long time for us to get drinks; they had a "system issue" and we had to repeat to the waiter to note the items we ordered for the bill. I am attributing these ... issues as "waiter problems" and not an issue with the establishment, so it did not affect my rating of the place.] I love the concept of power up game bar - it's a bar pub with a side of "free" gaming. Of course, the gaming isn't entirely free since the prices of the food here are a dollar or two more than what they should be, but I feel it is worth the premium. I was very surprised when I ordered the duck confit wings, because they are very delicious and I had not expected much from the food here. The skewers were ok but I probably won't get them again. I love the fact that they have the Nickelbrook IPA on tap, which earns points in my book. The game selection was decent and patrons would do well here playing cooperative group games. Overall, I really like this place and would come back again. Read more
