If ever there was a bar to geek out in, this one is it. Los Angeles' first arcade bar boasts more than 40 classic consoles, from Centipede to Ms. Pac-Man—all fixed with cup holders for endless booze-fueled sessions. An homage to the golden age of arcade games, cocktails here have names like Princess Peach, Zangief, Power Up and The Dude—that last one (more of a tribute to "the Dude" himself than anything else) includes stamina-inducing cold brew coffee from LAMILL, a necessity for defeating the Street Fighter 2 record. If you can see the latest high score projected on a wall toward the back, then you've found the only bar in the joint, next to a DJ booth and a rarely-used, bite-sized dance floor. Those less inclined to spend all of their hard-earned quarters can head to the tree-filled courtyard outside to nosh on food truck bites under the stars.
