A good dive bar that had 15 arcade cabinets of classic games and 6 new school pinball tables. Prices were reasonable and the whole place had a cool punk vibe. Bar food was good quality. Service was good too.
My first time here. Bartender gave us some tokens for being first timers. The drinks were great and the food was tasty. Lots of great games. Cool pinball machine. Old school and newer. We arrived at 11 am on a Saturday by noon the place was busy. Lots of fun. Great place to take the kids and a good place for adults to play late night. Definitely recommend this place. Also a location in Mesa.
At Level 1 Arcade Bar in Mesa, winner of Best Arcade Bar by Phoenix New Times, relive the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s with 100 retro arcade games and pinball machines, paired with cocktails that will take you on a sensory time machine. Play with classic tokens as you sip on a “Rainbow Brite” with vanilla vodka, strawberry syrup, orgeat, white creme de cacao, topped with a rainbow candy or go back to your childhood with the “Odder Pop”(yes it tastes like a grape Otter Pop), with Malfy Limone Gin, Violet Liqueur, lemon, simple, red bull blue and dried blueberries.
The “Sub-Zero” cocktail for two, served with ice blue large format spherical cubes, is a vibrant punch of rum, blueberry vodka, blue curacao, basil syrup, lemon and sprite.
Much like the cocktails that invoke the 80s and 90s, classic bar food options feed your late night cravings with an assortment of savory and sweet bites such as an epic Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, Funnel Cake Fries, Deep Fried Oreos, pretzel bites, pizza, tacos, and chicken bites.
The space is two floors, with a bar on each floor, as well as a DJ and dance floor on the weekends. Though the aesthetic is modern, retro colors such as hot pink and teal create the vibe.

Tuesdays, guests can get free tokens when they buy a drink. Wednesdays, women get free tokens.
If you haven’t been to Level One Arcade Bar yet, you’re missing out! Scott and Christina have created such an awesome arcade bar with the absolute best atmosphere. Great food, great drinks, great games and great times! This is my ABSOLUTE favorite spot in downtown Gilbert. Not only is it a great time, the staff there are truly incredible. Definitely one of the greatest teams in the bar industry. Every single team member is amazing. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed, you’ll be sure a great night out.
I really enjoyed my time here the couple times that I have visited. I visited this arcade on New Years Eve, last weekend, and Cinco de Mayo, and every-time I have visited I have had a fun time. Here are the things I enjoyed about this arcade. There is a variety of arcade games to play here. I am not the best at arcade games, but I like to get competitive anyways. My favorite games there are the Mortal Combat games, and all the other fighting games. 😂😝🥋✨ There is usually a DJ, or music playing in the background which is freaking awesome, because then I have victory music to dance too when I win a round of Mortal Combat. 💃🏽🤓😜😎Second of all, the drinks here are delicious. I mostly get the sweet drinks like the Watermelon Rancher which is watermelon vodka, lemon juice, agave nectar, and Sprite Zero, which has a sweet jolly rancher flavor imo. Third of all , the bartenders there are friendly and helpful, which helps because half the time I don’t even know what to order. I like the strong stuff, but sweet at the same time. 🍹🍸Ya know balance.😝The bartenders here gladly explain what the drinks consist of, and aren’t annoyed by it. Thank you guys for that. 🙌🏽If you are looking for a chill place to have fun, play arcade games, and drinks then this is definitely the place to visit. 😎✨🤘🏽💯👆🏽
A very cool spot for some classic and modern arcade games. The space isn't sprawling, but they have quite a few games available (both pinball and video games) to the point where everyone will be entertained. Such classics include but are not limited to: Dig dug, Donkey Kong, Tron and all three Mortal Kombats. The Simpsons game is a four-player game which my friends and myself thoroughly enjoyed!
Their pinball machines are set up where a camera looks down on the machine itself so that those at the bar can watch the action.
They Have food and weekly specials available. They even serve alcoholic beverages if you are of age.
Level 1 is definitely a fun time for the whole family!
My son and I love playing pinball and this place does not disappoint. They have a decent collection of pinball games that are all in really good shape- it is obvious that they have a really good pinball mechanic on the payroll. Drinks were reasonably priced.
This is a damn solid spot!! Come to this awesome establishment down on Gilbert Road. I know there are a lot of sweet options down there, but this one shines out. They have solid food and many options of it. Their associates were friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. Definitely pop in, play some pinball, have a delicious beverage, or ten, and sample the vittles. Enjoy!
A fun, unmatched ambiance with lots of entertainment! They have a projector that is usually playing a movie, & a handful of old school arcade games. The staff has excellent customer service, and oh my gosh, the FOOD! They have such a variety of finger foods, muchies, treats, tacos and sliders! Always a pleasure coming here, would absolutely recommend!
Fun place to go to get drinks and food. I really like the menu options and weekly specials. Tots are always amazing! The only thing I would change is the volume level of music. It was very loud during the day when we went and wasn't even half full. Tuesdays-you get free tokens with food and drink!
