Zed 80

I visited for the first time on a Saturday night after finding out Tilt had closed down. Cute place, wasn’t too full of people, and the English bartender was very friendly and quick to help. He also gave me some good recommendations for games to try which was much appreciated. Can’t wait to come back and try The Simpsons game!

Zed 80 is a classic venue located on the Danforth, and considering its $5 entrance fee, it offers a great value. The space itself is quite pleasant and well-maintained. However, the experience can vary depending on the time you visit. I would advise avoiding peak hours when they also allow kids, as it tends to get chaotic and crowded. One thing to note is that they don't seem to cap the number of visitors, which can contribute to the busyness. The venue has a single level, so it might feel a bit tight when it's crowded. Nevertheless, if you happen to visit when it's not too crowded, it provides a really enjoyable experience. If you're in the Danforth area, I highly recommend checking it out!

Great arcade bar… I go all the time. The service has gotten better over the last few months and they have opened their kitchen again. It gets super busy on the weekends. Try their raspberry sour beer; it’s delicious. They have: Lots of Pinball machines Skeeball Nintendo 64 Tron Galega Street fighter Final fantasy Mortal combat Super Nintendo Pac-Man Shooter games Driving games Super Mario Golden Eye 007 And more!

Loved this place. $5 for entry. A good selection of drinks and food. They stamp your hand so you can come back later. There are booths for chatting as well for when you want to take a break. The place gets crowded later on in the evening so come earlier if you want to focus on playing. Bartender was very friendly. The games were working great and the selection of pinball machines, amazing!
