Love going here! It's a cool arcade for the kids. Just be careful with the machines, they sometimes charge you & the game doesn't load, so you have to go to the tickets kiosk & tell them, they will reload your bracelet :)) they have some VR games too which is cool. Nice place for kids, adults too if that's your thing 😍

It was verry clean & fun so many great arcade games food was good & good prices. The service was good the only problem was the kids hot dogs are verry big not verry child proof.
For trivia, the guy:
- handed prizes out to whoever he wanted without asking questions,
- selectively gave specific tables the chance to answer questions (preventing others from participating)
- tossed small trinkets (that we couldn't choose) to the other tables without saying a word to acknowledge them,
- set prizes aside for his friends
- kept some prizes for himself; some were never even on display
- he got lazy, drew out full boxes of prizes.
- Too invested in the game that he was barely present as a host. He also left the premises for part of the time (taking his coat off & sitting by the bar).
-> At that point, why bother hiring someone for trivia? Just ask the staff to do a raffle; it would have been more fair & less distracting/unfair.
-They should find a new host for their events altogether. I wouldn't go to any more events if they kept this host.
DJs: you have to wonder if they hire from the same family. Their DJs can't read a room if multiple tables just get up, & nobody who stayed dances, there's room for insight.
Food is pretty good. I wish they would bring back daily deals.
I had to wait 20 mins just to order, even tho there was no one else in line, the bartenders were making drinks for 20 mins straight without even bothering to serve their guests. I normally am not one to make complains as I also work in customer services, but honestly the rec room has the worst customer service I've ever seen. The employees are not welcoming , didn't bother serving me. I had to wait 30 mins for my food, which ended up being cold. That was on a visit on a dead day. Honestly this place deserves to be shut down. The games are not even good.
Went with a group for a friend's birthday. Service staff was very nice, even when there's a lot of ppl. Great selection of games for a good price, could have a better selection of'trinkets' to win. Overall had a lot of fun & will come back.
The food in the restaurant was very good! We went with low expectations for the comments, but the truth is that the Rec Room hamburgers were very delicious. VR's games were the best, also the dart game was good activity to do in friends, we were 3 adults & spent more than 3 hours in the games, it was great. I recommend!

It's the best arcade in Montreal because it's big & they have so many options of games & the offer of 40$ fro 3 hours unlimited is very affordable so I recommend you to go
We recently hosted our son's birthday party at The Rec Room, & it was a massive success. The kids' party package is incredibly well-designed. Each child received a game bracelet with plenty of points, which kept them entertained for hours.
I was especially impressed with the food; even though it was from the kids' menu, the portions were generous-all the kids were full, & we even had leftovers! The popcorn & drinks were a great touch as well. We ordered from the regular menu for the adults, & everything was delicious. We ended the day by heading to the Cineplex upstairs for a movie. It was the perfect, stress-free birthday celebration. Highly recommend!
Fun place for entertainment, with many games. Multiple games however had non-function multiplayer control, would've been better to have them fixed. One of the two restaurants was also closed early, making the only restaurant busier (longer waiting times).
There were not many arcade games available, & several of the ones that were there were not functional. We also expected to eat on-site, as there are two restaurant options; however, one was closed for a private event & the other had already closed. There was no signage or notice advising that the restaurants were unavailable.
We purchased a 4-hour unlimited gameplay card with the plan to play, then eat, & finally see a movie. Instead, we were forced to leave the mall to find food elsewhere & then return for the movie, which completely disrupted our plans.
Overall, the lack of communication & unavailable amenities made this a very disappointing experience.
Edit: dropped the stars for from 5 to 3. I used to enjoy this place alot, but I've noticed a deterioration in the games. They're getting worn out, they've adjusted games to be VERY difficult to win anything.

Half the games were somewhat or completely broken sadly.
Didn't get the chance to the the food, nor talked to any employees either, but the atmosphere was nice at least. Not much to say
Wow. Just bloody wow. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Horrible. I can't believe that they let these people work there. Rude. Entitled. & finally, STUPID!!!!! We should have when we 1st dealt with the bartender. Didn't know their backside from their elbow. Then the server took 25mins to come take our orders & not happy to serve us. Rude. Just rude. Got our orders wrong too. Then when we returned the wrong orders & got the correct ones, it's like they were deliberately sabotaged. They were absolutely awful. No care in presentation or preparation.
The manager was absolutely no help!! No offer for discounts or a refund, let alone a goddamn apology!!!
I'm the only person who'll complain & let you know that this place should be nuked. Staff should all be fired. We didn't even stay to play games. The atmosphere was ruined by substandard staff. Whoever owns this'hole' should be embarrassed.
I went to The Rec Room recently - the arcade itself was fun & the floor staff were friendly & helpful. The games worked well & the overall vibe was good.
Unfortunately, the bar service was really disappointing. It was slow, disorganized, & the bartenders didn't seem interested in helping customers. It took way too long to get a drink, & when I finally did, the service felt rushed & unprofessional.
It's a shame because the rest of the place has great potential. If they could improve the bar service, it would make a big difference in the overall experience.
Terrible bar service, 30 minutes for a drink, 20 to pay. Food is hit & miss, do NOT get the pasta or macaroni, wings were good. Rude staff. Games are pretty great!
