Retro Game Bar, Portland OR

If you go as one or two people, this is freaking great! If you plan to go as a group (4 or more), it's a little more complicating with getting the right seat to accommodate you if you want a multi player game with more than 2 people.

The vibe was awesome. The drinks were great. We only had appetizers for food, but the ones we had were delicious!

Such a cool little spot! Games and food and drinks! So much to do! Awesome place to hang out!

Really awesome bar concept. The drinks and food are both really good. They have an insane collection of games and consoles. The staff are all super cool and helpful. With everyone having a nostalgic blast, the vibes are unbeatable. We will definitely be back soon.

The food was great (albeit the curry I got was a bit spicier than anticipated, the bartender even confirmed it), the drinks were great, the gaming was great. I enjoyed seeing all the retro stuff displayed around the bar and that anywhere you sat, you could play a game. We went on a Friday night and they even had a live DJ spinning records - it was pretty freaking cool.

I didn't enjoy the loud, rambunctious guys playing Smash Bros, but it's just part of the atmosphere/territory I suppose. That being said, I would still definitely go back, even if just for the food!

Atmosphere was cramped and very loud, staff were always in a rush and had no qualms about pushing their way right past you but it was Saturday and they were working hard. I wouldn't recommend this place for a group larger than five or so, maybe on a weekday when it's less crowded. Overall it's a fun bar that offers a unique experience and a wide variety of games, even if half of the groups were all getting down on some Mario Party.

This place is a gem. Food is really good, workers are friendly and the game selection and set ups are top tier. I've moved away from Portland and keep looking for another place that lives up to Retro Game Bar.

Cozy bar vibes, only had a beer and some fries, but they were great! And as the name suggest, they have the retro game (*sigh*, just felt myself age saying that). Lots to choose from. Had a very good time!

This is my go to spot to drink and play video games. They also have nonalcoholic drinks as well that are amazing. Large game selection on multiple consoles. Friday and Saturday is packed so you might be waiting around a bit for your turn to play. They have a back patio. There food is really good I wish they had more choices. And shareable plates. It's full meals instead of shareable plates. Overall 9 out of 10.

What a cool bar. Crab rangoon and wings were delicious. Fun craft beverages. Can't wait to bring a group here.

My favorite bar! Nothing like going down with friends to enjoy drinks and nostalgic gaming~

Awesome spot to play video games and they have trivia events every other Wednesday. Fun spot and lots of games! New host is really cool and a nice guy too!

We got there shortly after opening, and by 6: 30 it was pretty busy.

The game selection is top tier, the drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in the coolest basement from back in '97.

When you go, you know:
Now you're playing, with Power.

This is the nicest place around. 21 and over.quiet corner treasure. The employee was so nice and had amazing customer service.

Went as a group of 4 on a Monday night. Had a blast. Lots of games readily available for a small fee. Nice little nostalgia hit. Love that they have nicely curated zero-proof beverages available. The staff was so nice and helpful too. Highly recommend! A+

I just had a party here last night in their private party room, and it was such a wonderful experience! The staff were fantastic, the food was great, and the private room was so much quieter than the rest of the bar. In fact I could barely hear the rest of the very packed bar from in there. And at only $30 an hour for the room, it felt like quite a deal, especially for guaranteed space in the bar. My friends and I all had an amazing time. I will say that if you go on a Friday night, you should expect lines for food and drinks, but the lines move fairly quickly. I highly recommend you check this bar out, and if you have a small party you’re planning on, I would suggest renting the room, as it’s such a fun, chill experience in there!

Super disappointed. We looked up places to go before we went out today and had all agreed on this place because we all love to game. We got there and were extremely disappointed. It is an extremely cool concept but don't expect to get a table at any point if you get there later. We went after a personal sporting event (aka rec league game) and there were no tables. We took our time went out to the back had a couple drinks waited it out but never got a chance to play anything. I don't blame the customers if I got a table I wouldn't get up either but that just means if you come in don't expect to get a table later. Also unfortunately when we walked in we weren't greeted the friendliest, to the point where the bartender even apologized to us for how he initially treated us. Overall just extremely disappointed especially with how excited we were to try it. Very unfortunate.

A group of us go every other week and we couldn't be happier that this place exists. The food is exceptional, the staff are top notch and the games are everything you remember.

Easily one of the coolest bars i've been to, for many reasons, but primarily their extremely unique atmosphere. Instead of board games or arcade machines, they made it unique and went for actual video games. You can use classic systems or the brand new ones, and there is a wide selection. You can get reasonably priced drinks that taste great here, and they have fantastic Ramen. A place to go for any nerd or someone feeling nostalgic.
