Cobra Arcade Bar Tucson

It’s great “old school” video game/arcade fun on 2 levels, with a nice big bar on the bottle level slinging lots of draft beers to help boost your game! Right on the corner of Congress and Scott in downtown Tucson. Great for a date or to meet friends. It’s a little dark inside, but hey, the games lo... Read more

The bar was cool but unfortunately it seemed a lot of the games didn’t work and stole your money, had faulty buttons, etc. The place seemed more like it was a bar first and the arcade games were added as an after thought.

The bar was cool but unfortunately it seemed a lot of the games didn’t work and stole your money, had faulty buttons, etc. The place seemed more like it was a bar first and the arcade games were added as an after thought. It was very quiet on a random weekday night until about 9pm when a DJ and small crowd got there which was very very loud. Of course it’s a bar in the downtown Tucson area, so that’s somewhat expected and no complaint there. Just be aware if you’re expecting a chill, cozy arcade bar vibe, it is not really like that. There is also an upstairs area that is not wheelchair accessible. Show less

The bar was great, drinks were great, service was great, etc. Unfortunately most of the games we tried to play were broken (some glitched out, some had jammed coin slots, and some were just straight up broken).

During the weekend, they let more people in than they should. This is a very small place but as the night progresses, this gets packed. The dance floor is right on the way to the bathroom, so its almost impossible to dance and enjoy yourself because there's so many people just trying to walk through. If you're at the bar trying to get a drink, people are walking through to get to the dance area so it's just super uncomfortable and crowded here. The bathrooms are big but they're usually extremely dirty. Show less

Analyzing and questioning multiple in the group with valid ID. Then refusing to allow one of the group despite having a valid ID claiming it doesn’t look like him.

Security guard/bouncer in front of the bar entrance. He’s the guy with the glasses, he’s a cool dude. Met a pretty nice bartender named Hannah. Introduced me to the bar and the some services that they provide especially all the epic arcade games and was even nice enough to give me a starter piece to get started on the games because I am not from this area and I know nothing about it but thanks to her, it was a nice experience. Games were great. I was questioning why not a VR game there like the Jurassic Park one but then again, I believe they’re going for the more retro-ish vibes for video games. Which is actually another reason why I like it. The other bartenders were more or less ok. Same thing with the other security guards. All except one skinny young man guard with a ruffled fro. Glared at me like he can actually do something. Looked like the hardest thing he ever tackled was homework. If you’re gonna show signs of inexperience, at least try to mitigate it by avoiding things such as looking at your phone. Are you the Security/bouncer or a guy in inviting his friends to the bar? I used to do security myself, and respectfully, unless there’s an emergency, thats the last thing you should be looking at while working. Nevertheless, if you go to this bar, (Make sure you have liquid cash on you! Otherwise, you will be making a visit to the epic ATM they have, It’s space invaders theme, I like it lol). The drinks are nice, they have a good price and the bartenders seem good. The games are good and cheap. Awesome designs all over the entire building as well. So if you’re ever hanging around downtown Tucson and you are a nerd this may be a place you would be interested in checking out and if you go there, give a shout out to Hannah and tell her she’s awesome!! 👍🏽 Overall, I will give this place to 4.5 out of five Show less

He said and quote “the way you’re standing tells me you had too much to drink”… well, I have hip dysplasia… and I was NOT drunk. How offensive and inappropriate. This guy needs to lose his job. Not to mention, this place was dead. Management needs to evaluate who they have at their front door. Show less

Absolutely love this little bar/hangout. A must-go when I have visitors from out of town who've never been to Tucson and are interested in old school games. Bartenders have always been attentive each time I've gone and I'm typically good after a drink or two, so you're getting the money's worth and they're delicious. There are old school arcade games to play while you're sipping drinks that take quarters. There are money machines across from the bar if you don't have change. If playing the games aren't your cup of tea, there is outdoor seating, seating on the second floor overlooking the bar area, and seating by the dj and leaves room for dancing if you'd like. All areas are lit by neon LEDs, so definitely sets that retro vibe. Show less
