    Awesome little spot if you love old games and movies. Make sure to eat before hand as they don't sell food other than chips!

    Dave is an absolute legend . Came in last minute with quite a large group and he manned the bar solo in such a calm and cool fashion. He is epic . Worth visiting for his service and kindness .

    Great little time machine that takes you back to the 80s/90s. Emulators are free to use and comes with the terrible pixelated TVs to give you that authentic feel. Wide selection and fair priced drinks

    Decent place, but for what it is and where it is I'd give it four stars. Drinks are okay. There is no cover fee to get in, unlike the copy cats across the street. Great music and dancing is allowed, again unlike the place across the street (they'll kick you out). Overall this place has a good vibe!

    Dundas Video is a trip back to the 1990's The bar is quite small and provides for you , gaming at your fingertips because you have access to a few gaming consoles such as the Nintendo 64. Dundas Video is located right in the heart of the College and Dundas area downtown . It is quite a hip neighborhood and brings in a lot of interesting characters that you would run into. They do have a really good DJ on Friday/ Saturday nights and not sure about the regular weekdays. It's a great hang out with your friends and provides the typical bar selections like any other bar. The staff are very hip and treat you very well. The bathrooms at Dundas Video are located in the downstairs of the establishment, and have all of this graffiti written on it with deep notations. They have a cool 90s looking TV that plays movies through VHS . The bar has what every bar has at every regular restaurant but sometimes they do run out of products, depending on the drink that you order. It is quite an experience to be in, once you arrive at Dundas Video. 🪩📺🕺

    I went this weekend and I had a really good time. The place have vintage vibe, the Dj have a good set of music. You can play old video games like when you were kid. The place have projections of classic movies. You can do it all of these drinking a beer. Good place to got out.

    One of the best and most unique bars in the city. A perfect time capsule. If you have any nostalgia for playing old video games and watching old movies, you'll love this place.

    Fun dive bar. If you like beer go here. If you like retro gaming go here. If you've ever wanted to order a pizza to a bar while you drink beer and play retro games... Go here! The bartender and event organizer were crazy friendly.

    Decent hipster bar with some cool n64 games. The n64 controllers work great (which most don't on used systems) sadly no tap for beers and the beer selection is only craft which for some might not be great. Atmosphere is cool with decent music. I enjoyed it and will be back again

    Fun space for an event I attended. Plenty of screens with video game stations and movies playing! They won't mix you a cocktail, this is a dive bar after all

  • 4/5 Zoe D. 1 year ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Dundas Video is a great bar for a casual night out for friends. They have a selection of old school video games, and the music selection is on point. The bar is straightforward without any frills, and I've always been served by a friendly bartender.

  • 4/5 Trappadona B. 11 months ago on Google • 47 reviews
    Reasonably priced tall cans of Woodhouse and retro video game systems all along the walls. This place has a year 2000 era feel with a combination of DJ's who play house music. Great place to drink and mingle.

    Swung by this place for a last minute birthday celebration last night. It has a great atmosphere, feels humble and the staff was very hospitable! It was a quiet evening which was nice for us. They also have a great selection for console games. This is definitely a place that I would like to revisit soon!

    i see the owner drinking at the day time (probably drunk) while i eat beside his place on the benches. i stand up from the bench for a second, the owner step outside and shout on me "are you gonna seriously not throw that" i was beginning to speak and trll him that i am gonna throw that, however before i could open my mouth the owner start throwing at me everything that's on the bench,cursing me and threatened my life I don't about the food in this place, but I'm sure that of that's a person acts his service can't be good.. Just plain assault...

  • 4/5 Chris J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great DJ, a lot of fun games, although some of the N64 games didn't work

  • 5/5 Louis B. 5 years ago on Google
    This place has a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Not to knock the place across the street (which is also very good) this place is more lax and caters to the emulator / console player rather than the pinball wizard. The music is rad, the bartenders are awesome and the booze selection is decent. You can also have a conversation here (which is important to me), you’re not deafened by the agro-ski-ball player. If you’re lucky, you may also catch a geek swap.

    This place is like an upscale version of Bassline. If you like Bassline, or if you're sick of that place. You'll definitely like Dundas Video even more. 👍👍

    Oh daddy what a time Chris and Steve are literally juggling as you read this. Don’t wait. Come now.

    Denis should be everyone's Sunday night stop. Best Sunday night bar in Toronto hands down

👍 Good food as always! Convenient. Kids friendly. One star less because in the men’s washrooms there is no arrangement for baby diapers change. I managed it somehow but for a single dad with baby it is not convenient. I hope management would put up something to resolve it. Thank you.
