What Guests Are Saying
If you think Tilt is the ultimate retro paradise, The Rec Room is the absolute industrial-scale evolution of a gaming hub. Located right across from the CN Tower in the historic CPR John Street Roundhouse, this place takes the entire concept of an entertainment space and scales it up to a massive, high-velocity operation. The physical infrastructure of this venue is a total engineering marvel. They took an old locomotive repair facility, kept the raw brickwork, towering ceilings & massive steel beams & packed it with over 40,000 square feet of pure, high-energy gaming tech. It’s loud, it’s flashing, and the sound design of hundreds of modern arcade cabinets, VR setups, and simulator rigs running simultaneously creates a massive wave of adrenaline the second you step inside. Unlike the old-school token or coin systems, everything here runs smoothly through a RFID bracelet/card tap system. You load up your credits & you just sprint from machine to machine. They have everything from massive, motion-activated racing simulators and multi-player Mario Kart setups to redemption games and classic air hockey tables. The hardware is impeccably maintained - even during peak Friday night traffic, you rarely see a machine down for maintenance, which tells you their tech team is running a tight ship behind the scenes. The bar setup, The Three10, handles the heavy crowd volume with serious efficiency. They have a great lineup of local Ontario craft beers on tap & the food isn't just an afterthought - the wood-fired pizzas and massive burgers are high-calorie, savory fuel designed to keep your reaction times sharp for a long gaming marathon. It is big, it is high-tech & it is the ultimate spot if you want to assemble a massive squad, get competitive & experience Toronto's entertainment scene at maximum volume. A powerhouse of a venue.
We watched the Argentina England World Cup game at this resturant m. We received a right treatment, they gave us a good large table and the food, beer, service and everything were amazing. It’s a new facility and a very large one. It was very cool in the summer time and the quality of the screens and the stereo was very good, highly recommended.
Nice central location with recently updated layout accommodating for more games. If planning to go I would recommend going on a weekday as they tend to double the cost of tickets to play on the weekend. Overall it is a fun experience but having to pay +50 each person for 1 hour or less of games is a bit much for just arcade games.
