This place is cool! Free console game spots. Pinball and arcade games (slightly expensive at $2 a game). There are also old school board and table games. The atmosphere I love. It's relaxed, it's lively. I could hang here all the time if I could. Couches and bar tables. Food was half + half. I liked the karage chicken, cauli bites + onion rings. I could live without the garlic bread + loaded fries. I recommend for family +/friends to meet up.

A group of us celebrated a birthday at Empire last Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks and service given by Ronan. We had teenagers and adults among our party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night here. Thankyou!

If you're fan of pinball machines it's THE place to go. Basic setup with plenty of pinballs and few 90s video games. You can get some drinks. Staff is very helpful and attentive.

August 2022: Empire would beat be described as a dive bar. Adorned with artistically pleasing graffiti, and filled with leather lounges and videogames and table games. Staff are super friendly and beverages are reasonably priced. Super chilled vibes and worth a visit. Would also feel comfortable if you were LGBTQ+.
