Arcade Empire Potch Reviews

Amazing place but the show we were attending was ruined by poor planning in regards to music volume. Still a nice place to hang out though.

Young university crowd. Food has drastically improved, service is good now too.

It has its good and its bad nights.

Certain events are good and they do try hard to have a variety or events and performers, which is appreciated.

Not always the safest feeling place to be at, tensions often run high between security and rowdy crowds and pick pocketing and so on can be quite frequent.

Certainly one of the last remaining places to have big party events (like Halloween's for example) and they do pull in the crowds.

My recommendation, go with a group of good friends, watch out for each other and your stuff and you should have fun

Used to be great place for live music and a fun Friday evening with friends. Still pretty good but not as great as it used to be.

Amazing Venue and definately a hotspot i would love to arrange and host amazing parties and events there

The revamp looks great and the tacos are to die for!

Used to be amazing. Died down since they lost the plot a little bit

Best place for live entertainment and an lunch bite. Food tastes good too

Pool,Foosball,Metal slug,Pizza,DJ's,Bands,Braai's

What more do you want...?

Welcome to arcade empire.

A great place for local live shows that'll rock your college socks off.. Give it a bash

Arcade has the best events and the drinks aren't too expensive! Awesome vibe if you want to have a jol and just be yourself. I have had the best of times at Arcade

This place is epic for live bands and getting together with friends. But it can get very hot inside

Awesome place up until about 2 years ago when they changed

Always se my favorite bands there. The place is a bit crowded with big events. Happy to see the ventilation system working again. Drinks are a bit expensive. Otherwise its a awesome place.

Right proper shite with making a plan when the power goes out during an event that cost R200 bucks

Great Venue. Has everything. Food, multiple bars, open deck, pool, Foosball, arcade games, and of course great music.

The people are amazing here, service is great including the management and the food!
Got a chance to meet the manager and the chef, great guy!

Beer pong for days! Great vibe and a variety off different people

Great food. Good vibes, good music and a lot of overall fun!

Safe, friendly environment. Good vibes all round. Great food and drink specials!

No better place to have good time. Great music. Great vibe. Great prices.

Semi-nice place. Not a great environment since last time I was there in 2016. Getting a bit run down

Scum place. Bouncers and Barmen steal money - would not go there

Great vibes with nice music.

Need to improve their Pool Tables - very skew

But overall great experience

All the beer was flat. Service at the bar was very good though

Place is fun but the service needs a bit of work... Otherwise their food is amazing :)

Food and vibe is nice, but they really need to work on their music volume levels.

Best place to party , Chill , Just catch lunch or not even to mentioned the on site tattoo studio..

Great Specials weekly aswell as weekends and by far the best pizza in town. Personal favourite...

They close at 11 on a Thursday evening which made me feel rushed to leave

Really don't like this place, nor the way it's run, been there 3 or 4 times now, always such bad service at the Bar, and on top of that generally the barmen are very unfriendly, and not willing at all to help any one but their own mates all the time.

I have made so many friends here. Place has a great vibe.

Nice enough place to hang out. Good layout and vibe. Can get quite busy at times. Staff are friendly, the Vape shop seems to be a permanent fixture now.

Rocking atmosphere, reasonable prices and live music. We were there for a Fit for a King concert. The sound was very tinny and high pitched for the SA bands, but the main act was superb! Suddenly the sound was amazing. People were singing along and the comradery in the mosh was fantastic! We had loads of fun!

Lekker chilled vibes, awesome events here on occasion, students and older crowds

Overcrowded, did not have the drinks we wanted and awful music.

Pizzacousitics is the best! Great artists and wonderful vibe!

Venue is nice, extremely cheap drink specials on certain days. Beer pong and arcade games are definitely a bonus. Nice place to bring your friends as well as to meet people.

Great specials, great activities from beer pong to pool to some actual arcade games! Great place to spend time with friends with a very good vibe. Havent met a single bartender that didnt make friends with me! Be sure to try the student cheese burger for under R30! Great place. Cant wait to go again

PATHETIC!
Only put a star because I had to

The sound engineering was so bad that the band sounded like a sea of ear aching noise. The vocalist wasn't even audible.

Been coming here for a few years. This place had a lot of character, ranging from Fussball tables and Beer pong tables to live music of varying genres. Parking is pretty safe and you can have your car washed while here.

Staff here are mostly on point, friendly and real, so please tip! There are TVs with the latest sport or racing.
Worth upgrading:
The tables outside are a little worn out and the restrooms could do with a revamp.

You should visit Arcade if you're looking to have an exciting evening!

A very big and very nice place to go anytime of the day, for one beer or for a long night out

Had a great lunch at a very low price. Loved it. Friday burger special was only R60.

Awesome atmosphere but the sound is always average.

Great place to watch some live music, happy atmosphere

Excellent place with epic sound and friendly service

Slightly pricey, people aren't too friendly, staff is a bit slow
