Retro Game Bar 6720 Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard, Portland, OR 97211

"If you have anyone in your life that likes video games this is the place. Super intimate setting with private game room and open patio. This is the best place to take any gamer in your life. Food and service is top tier."

"This place blew me away! Service was amazing, the bartender was super helpful and very friendly, the gentleman who rans the games was also very helpful. The food was top notch, we got the Golden fries 64, and they were delicious, we also got many of the custom cocktails all were appropriately named and taste amazing. The games was mind blowing we played everything from golden eye 64 to new games like tekken 8 the selection was mind blowing. I recommended this place 10/10"

"The ambiance is of course interesting, that's probably how you heard of the place. Each table has a couple consoles (typically 2) attached to it (tables are first come first serve). They have a huge library of games, you just ask for one at a time. They probably have whatever you played as a kid. They bring out the controllers. You order and coordinate everything at the bar. I was especially impressed with the food and drink. The food is reasonably priced ($10-$15), reasonably healthy (bowls with rice, topping, protein and such), and tasted fantastic. The pulled pork added to a bowl tasted better than the fried chicken (which was also good) although it doesn't present as well. The drinks are priced normally and have the full range you've come to expect in Portland (everything from classic american brews ~$3 to fancy theme appropriate cocktails ~$12). They even have alcohol free cocktails (~$6). The people working behind the bar were nice, friendly, knowledgeable about games (freely giving opinions on which mario kart or mario party version was the best). I'd recommend this place whether you were into gaming or not. I think it shines for a small social gathering (2-4 people). Makes for a great date night. Pretty cheap entertainment (gaming is ~$7 flat fee per person). They run specials. This place is a solid 5. I could imagine it being hard to get a table/game console on a busy night (friday/saturday), but not my experience."

"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!"

"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."
