Expected to open later this year, the bar and eatery will be designed with neon lights with a comic and anime theme and house dozens of games, including pinball, Japanese rhythm popular arcade games, consoles, experiential games, and more. Unlike other bar-cades, Arcade Monsters offers an unlimited play option. They will also serve tavern fare, all natural slushies, beer and wine.
