If you think board game cafes are so passé, why not try an arcade bar?
Located in the heart of Clarke Quay, Level Up is the first arcade bar in Singapore.
Decorated with arcade characters and neon lights
The bar opened in November 2017 and has 80s decor, such as colourful high seats and walls painted with popular arcade game characters like the iconic dinosaur from Puzzle Bobble and Street Fighter's Chun Li.

The place also has bright neon lights for mandatory OOTDs and selfies.
Full of arcade games
Of course, what is an arcade bar without arcade game machines?
Level Up has a variety of games like basketball, foosball, claw machines and classics like Street Fighter and Time Crisis.

And if you're a stickler for traditional bar games, there's beer pong and billiards for you too.

How to get tokens?
Tokens are received whenever a purchase of food and drinks are made.
Level Up offers food such as salted egg fishskin (S$8), XXL sourplum chicken (S$15) and garlic miso edamame (S$8)
Garlic miso edamame
The number of tokens received, however, depends on what you order. For example, a drink can get you two tokens.
If you're not feeling peckish but want to play the games, you can purchase tokens at S$2 for two tokens, S$5 for six tokens, and S$10 for 15 tokens.
