    it is an amazing place, but sadly the barman was extremely drunk and was forcing us to increase the tip. he was mad because our tip was 30 for 100 cad. and then he was angry because we wouldn't give him more and went crazy...I know he was drunk, but still. so sad ruined our night. great place, watch out about the mullet barman(dont know how else to describe him) the bar girl was great tho.

    Love the vibe and concept. Super cool you can play games for free with a drink. Bartenders are nice. My gripe with the place was that a lot of the machines were not working (3 pinball machines were not operational, quite a few machines had bugs and errors so weren't able to be played, some machine buttons weren't working) which limited the play time. I left about an hour after going through all playable machines. I wish the machines had been better maintained and some customers been warned not to smash buttons to much. (I saw one customer having no regard for the machines)

    Super cute place with lots of arcade games. It has the 90s vibes. Amazing place for a huge throwback! Very colourful lights and decoration. If you buy a drink, you can play as many arcade games as you want- for free! They also have food if you’re feeling a little hungry.

    If you pay for a drink, all the games are free to play except for foosball ($1 for 10 games). I don't know much about their menu but it was fun to play those nostalgic games! Note, they accept only cash!

    Amazing place. The vibe and aesthetic is super fun. Pretty good selection of pinball and arcade machines, but no 4 player beat-em-ups. The food though! The cheese toasties are superb! The bologna bacon Swiss is great but the apple, bri bacon is actually the best sandwich I had in Quebec City. Go here!

    Except that it smells a lot like a gym and sweat it is a great place to go. Good old childhood memories 😂😂. If you have a drink you can play all the arcades you want without having to pay for them lots of fun

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere and hope to return next time I'm in the city. The bartender was very friendly and the games were fun and didn't cost anything extra as long as you bought drinks!

    The idea of the place is beautiful, however the bar owner have a terrible attitude, forcing us to give the tips. I was gonna leave the tips for them after we hung out, but they constantly requested us to pay tips right away during the time we enjoyed our food. This created an awkward moment between us and them. In general, i wont come back.

    Friendly staff and cool concept but needs more work put into it. A number of machines not working, cash only and most importantly sanitary problems. Cockroaches visibly crawling on the floor, one even got into my glass while playing a game.

    Absolutely amazing I come to Quebec every few weeks I'll come here every time

    One of the best arcade bars I’ve been to. Buy a drink and most games are free. Very chill vibe and a wide selection

    I love going there! Been twice already on my visits to Quebec city. You can play for free on all the arcade games and pin ball machines . All you have to do is buy at the ,bar a few drinks. Not usually super packed the times I went. Good atmosphere and fun to be there!

  • 5/5 Chizzy 9 months ago on Google
    I really like this bar. A wide selection of retro games all for the price of just one purchase from the bar. You can stay as long as you want and play all the cool games.

  • 5/5 Shelby M. 7 months ago on Google
    Fun and hip bar to spend a date night. Lots of a retro arcade games including Donkey Kong, Mario, PacMan, and more! All games are free with the exception of foosball and air hockey. Bartender was friendly, and had a great selection of local beer on tap.

  • 5/5 Audrey P. 1 year ago on Google

    Very fun, cute and friendly bar.

  • 4/5 Andreas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with very friendly staff. Was very busy. Most people will take turns on pinball machines. A must go to when in Quebec.

  • 5/5 Luke M. 4 years ago on Google
    Very fun bar! You just have to order 1 drink per person (doesn't have to be alcohol either, they have soda and juice) and then you can play any of the games for free, except for Street Fighter. There's a cool selection of games that can keep you busy for a while. Some classics everyone knows and some lesser known ones. The games all have cup holders on them which is perfect. Nice and helpful staff. They only take cash (including American but at 1:1) and there's an ATM inside.

  • 3/5 Keven L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a fine place. It's very small, only a few tables, the arcades are in very poor condition, but it exists and it's worth supporting by trying it and going there once in a while if you're a local. Definitely not a weekly thing, but a few times a year, why not!

  • 5/5 Alex T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Lots of locals go here and they are super welcoming. There are retro arcade games and pinball machines that you can use. Drinks are at a great price as well. Should definitely check it out if you're in town.

  • 5/5 Tamás P. 2 years ago on Google
    I put this place on my trip schedule, and it was worth it! It's like a cool museum of the 1980's. The arcade machines are real, authentic ones, not modern remakes. Drinks and snacks are good and affordable too. If I lived in Québec City, I would be a regular!

  • 4/5 Jessica D. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun retro arcade bar. You get complimentary play when you purchase a drink. Certain games are excepted though. It is cash only. Masks and vaccine shows are not required which can be uncomfortable for certain people, especially as it gets very busy.

    Nice service ,fair drinks , cold beer , good atmosphere !

  • 4/5 Matthew Anthony Le B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool spot, lots of nostalgic video games - you can even play PacMan in a table. Only cash drops them a star!

  • 5/5 Marc B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere love the old school arcades in there, a blast of nostalgia while sipping a beer.

  • 5/5 Weissnat W. 3 years ago on Google
    For people who love great drinks and classic retro gaming, this is the place for you. Hidden in the modern city, MacFly's is the perfect place to spend a few hours. All of the games are set to free play and there's plenty of classics to choose from. There's probably 25+ arcade games and 6 or so pinball machines to choose from.

    Great spot for some nice old school arcade gaming! Locals were nice and I enjoyed stopping by every night on our vacation to Quebec City!
