Neon Retro Arcade

On our lists of the best activities and arcades & games in Los Angeles.

Mark and Mia Guenther fell for each other over a dorm-room pinball machine, and the arcade they eventually opened on Raymond Avenue in January 2015 grew out of Mark's habit of buying up cabinets that other business owners were throwing in the dumpster. More than 50 restored machines fill the floor now, Donkey Kong and Street Fighter alongside pinball tables, all set to free play rather than requiring quarters. A flat fee gets a customer in for an hour or the whole day, and newer games sit alongside the vintage cabinets for anyone who wants a change of era.
