About this place

Life Bar Arcade takes the obvious idea - drinks and arcade machines in the same room - and executes it properly. Cabinets line the walls, the selection leans nostalgic, and the bar is a real bar rather than an afterthought.

The crucial thing to know before you plan anything is that it changes character during the day. Earlier on it works as a family or teen proposition; from the evening it becomes a 21-and-over room and children cannot be there. Turning up at 7:30pm with a ten-year-old is a wasted trip, and it happens to somebody every week.

For adults it is a strong, low-effort night out: cheap to make an evening of, easy to talk over compared with a club, and it gives a first date or a group of friends something to do with their hands. Machines rotate, so regulars find new things.

It sits on Algonquin Road with its own parking, away from the Woodfield congestion.
