What players say

Wandered in after catching the train to the Big Easy....super nice bartender & good cold drinks! Pool tables, arcade games and old school pinball machines...very cool place!

★★★★★ Carl, Jun 2026

This past weekend I got married and held my wedding after party at Emporium. The entire night was even better than expected. Throughout the planning process, Thomas and Chandler were very attentive and answered any question I had and they responded to my emails so quickly.

★★★★★ Grem, Aug 2024

This place was the highlight of our evening. A locals spot with great music, friendly people and just a whole vibe. Played a few games and shot pool. We had a blast

★★★★★ Nadia, Dec 2025

Emporium Arcade Bar is a fantastic spot if you want to grab a drink, tap into some nostalgia, and get competitive with friends. The drink selection stands out with lots of beer options on tap and in cans, plus some THC drinks for a different vibe.

★★★★★ Chandler, Sep 2026
