At FreePlay Toronto, we’ve always aimed to be more than just an arcade bar—we’re a place where nostalgia, nightlife, and community come together. And we’re proud to say people have taken notice.
Over the years, local and national media have shown us some serious love. Here are just a few highlights:
📰 BlogTO called us “a retro arcade dream come true” and one of the most fun bars in the city for games, music, and late-night eats.
📺 CityNews featured FreePlay as a top Toronto destination for unique experiences and vintage vibes, where adults can truly play like kids again.
📻 CBC Radio highlighted us in their lifestyle segments as a spot that blends gaming culture with social connection—perfect for everything from first dates to group hangs.
📝 Toronto Life has featured FreePlay in their seasonal “Where to Go” guides, applauding our rotating drink menus, themed parties, and throwback soundtrack.
🎤 Now Magazine spotlighted FreePlay for our DJ nights, live entertainment, and immersive theme events, often calling out our ability to bring “high energy and high fun” to every night out.
