Coin-Op Gaslamp: Your Ultimate Arcade and Cocktail Destination in San Diego

Great spot to hangout, have food drink and play some arcade games. I will definitely come back. The team is nice as well and provide great service!

My friend took us here to play some retro games. We arrived about 15min before opening and there was already a line to get in. Located in Gas Lamp district and lots of interesting architecture around. This place is a great place to relax and have a good time. Pizza, bar, retro games and great vibes. Noticed lots of complimentary water station all around the area. Cali takes hydration seriously here Shoot some hoops, blast some ships, fight 1 vs 1 arcade games and more. Fun times. Most of the games brought back nostalgic feelings of our younger years.

This place was a lot of fun! Bring cash or there's a ATM machine inside if you plan on playing games. I loved their drink menu, they had many fun flavors. I got the Baja blast version drink and it was good. We came on a Thursday night and it wasn't too crowded.

I've had this place on the bookmarks for a while and finally made it in for Free play! The last Sunday of the month all day! We arrived before the crowds gathered and had a blast. All the traditional arcade games oldies but goodies. Everyone is carded at the entrance and needs to be 21+ to enter. It's great for us kids at heart who enjoy arcades. To name a few: Pinball, ski ball, hoops, space invaders, the Simpsons, ninja turtles, Mario kart and where I spent the most time.. Area 51. I used to love this game and had fun getting all the zombies! Nice bar area with the game on the screens. Food and drink menus with happy hours available. There's also tables for larger groups with a nice view of downtown. Patio seating also available. Service was welcoming and friendly. The downtown area adds to the ambiance. A fun game space to host casual gatherings or celebrations with a 80s vibe.

Coin op is always a fun spot to check out for games and drinks! We went here after dinner and our bartender was great and very friendly. He made great drinks to what we said we liked. We had a juice pouch which is always a fan favorite. We got two cool runnings from the cocktail menu which were good and had a few different rums in it. We asked for a tequila and whiskey drink that the bartender made and he did a great job on both. We played some games and I love that they have cup holders at each game. The ambiance is very fun inside and it was moderately busy for a weekday night. I would recommend checking this spot out!

What a fun place to be! Great place for a little date, or just a night out with friends and family. They have a bunch of old school games. Bring your dollar bills to get some change! I wish they put more spaces in between the machines because some of them were tight spaces. They also serve alcohol here so you can get little heated while playing these fun games. It's a chill vibe, it wasn't crowded for a weekend night. Check this place out!

Such a fun bar if you want a wholesome night! There's a coin machine to turn your cash into quarters. They have lots of fun games to choose from like skee ball, basketball, guitar hero, Mario kart, pac man, and many more!

Such a fun place! I love their drinks too because they're not watered down nor do they skip out on the alcohol. I recommend trying their adult Caprisuns. Their cheese curds are also really good and I liked their princess peach drink as well!

Such a fun activity to do in downtown if you're tired of the clubbing scene! This place is perfect for group outings and even an arcade date night (: My boyfriend and I went for a little date on a Friday night and was surprisingly not too crowded. The games ranged from 25¢ to $1 per play, though most were definitely above 25¢. We ordered a Vodka Redbull and this one specialty cocktail, which I have forgotten the name of unfortunately ahh! To describe it, it was a refreshing cocktail with a hint of blueberry and cream on top, dusted with cinnamon/nutmeg and a dried fruit. At first I was skeptical about the alcohol and cream mixing but as long as ya don't mix it, it's actually a genius combination. I believe they also rotate the cocktail menus every now and then which is why I can't find the name for my drink, but I love this concept of being able to showcase the company and bartenders' creativity, a fun way to keep guests coming!
