Awesome arcade bar! Great selection of arcade games, pinball machines, pool, air hockey — all in perfect working order. Tap beer and good music! Super impressed that there’s only one staff member running the place, yet everything is clean (even the toilets!) and well organized. Well done, seriously!

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!

Awesome place I come here all the time. Drinks are great and the staff is so helpful and friendly. Always a good time with all the pinball and arcade machines.

Went there to check out the pinnies, would have loved to play Munsters but the coin mech was playing up with that one, still had great fun playing several machines I haven't had the chance to play before. Great variety of pins

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.
