Just visited this place for the first time and absolutely loved it! The vibe is spot-on—wall-to-wall arcade machines, with about 70% being pinball but plenty of other fun options too: retro games, air hockey, skee-ball, Japanese imports, and more. It feels like being a kid again, except now you get to enjoy it with a drink in hand—which makes it even better!

Speaking of drinks, our group of four went through two rounds each, and every choice was a hit. The variety and creativity on the menu really stood out. We also ordered some food, and nobody had a single complaint—it was all solid.

Overall, I had such a great time, and everyone in my group did too. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Portland, if you’re into pinball, arcade games, or just looking for a fun spot to hang out with friends and drinks, this is a must-try.

It’s a historic building in the heart of Portland, Maine. I believe it was a historic theatre. It has lots of pinball from every era, old and new. They are mixed with old school arcade games and some very old ones. All games are available to play and some are just fun to look at. This is not your regular arcade. Its casually upscale with 2 bars serving just about everything and lots of craft beers. They have Trivia nights and a selection of tasty pub food. For me it’s like a dream come true place to hangout and spend a few hours.
The most upscale arcade you have ever been to.

This place is a gotta see place if you’re an older adult like myself. It was an old theater and now it’s so cool to see all the arcade games that I played s as a kid. They have 2 floors of games everything you can think of lol. The food was reg bar food quick stuff but good. The drinks were spot on and the service was great. We spent about 5 hours there playing games and chilling watching them play Skeet ball tournament. It’s was great. The best part is no kids. You have to be 21 or older. They check you at the door and check your bags so very safe place.

Visited on a Friday evening and it wasn’t too busy. We got in easily and only waited a minute for attentive service. We got a 10” pepperoni and sausage pizza. It was very delicious, not what I expected. The ingredients tasted high quality. The price for a 10” pizza is higher than I would like, but after eating it, I understood why.
We were graciously comped with a free cookie because our pizza took a while because of some kitchen mistake. That was fine with me, accidents happen. The games were fun! Lots of options. We played a few different pinball machines. It was honestly very fun! I’d go back next time I’m in the area.

We absolutely love this place! It’s our go-to spot after a concert or show whenever we’re in town. The selection of local craft beers on draft is unbeatable, and their mixed drinks are top-notch. Plus, the game selection is phenomenal—there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a classic arcade fan or into newer games. A perfect spot to unwind and have a good time!

Arcadia is an absolute gem in Portland! While I didn’t try their drinks, I did have their vegan pizza, and it was delicious. It’s always a win when a place has solid vegan options, and Arcadia definitely delivers. The menu offers a few options for vegans and meat eaters alike, making it easy to fuel up between rounds of arcade games.

Speaking of entertainment, they also stream Survivor on Wednesday nights, which is such a fun touch! If you’re a fan of the show, it’s a great way to watch with a lively crowd while enjoying some good food and games.

With its retro arcade vibe, great food options, and unique weekly events, Arcadia is a must-visit in Portland. Whether you’re there to chase high scores, enjoy a themed night, or just soak in the atmosphere, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend!

This place is awesome, there’s lots of arcade games some new stuff and some old either on the first floor or in the basement. The interior design and decor is pretty sick, the atmosphere is vibrant. You can hangout at the bar, food court or on the floor watching teams play Mario kart. Will definitely be back for some more fun and games!!! Love it here!!!

It is disappointing to be having to write this review of somewhere I once felt comfortable as a queer person and greatly enjoyed going to. Also as a frequent recommended option to friends and family. I attended the NYE event with my partner last evening as a dual celebration for their birthday and the holiday. For about the first hour the atmosphere was wonderful with dancers, nice bartenders, and easy door entry after a short line. I love some of their themed pinball machines and find the prices reasonable.

Where it went downhill suddenly was when we were trying to get past the downstairs set of stairs and toward another set of games. When doing so a bar-back (at the time male presenting wearing bedazzled shorts and tank top) was behind me and while holding an empty ice bucket, decided to hit me on the hip with it not once but twice. The first time I stepped toward the staircase and had to recenter myself. Luckily the second was a somewhat lighter bump forward. Nothing that I would ever regard as safe or professional in a popular bar/arcade on a very busy night. Or from somewhere I have had nothing but positive interactions with community and staff wise.

My sole reason for believing this incident was an intentional move to get myself moving faster through an already packed area was that once they got down the stairs, they looked back at me seemingly quite unhappy. Then proceeded to move on. It was noticed by both myself and my partner. I can understand a need to move quickly in order to keep pace of service but in no scenario can I imagine that warrants hitting guests instead of communicating a need for space.

I did let a bartender know of this incident but it ultimately ruined our feeling of being welcome and made us leave early for the night. I would like to hope I will return in the future but it doesn’t feel likely with such staff working there.

What an interesting place. Seems like a high end lounge in front but then you see all the pinball machines. Lots of classics!! Bar was cool and had a good HAPPY HOUR (yes just an hour 5-6, but all day Wed)
