Awesome business! Great to have an arcade back in town!
Huge selection of games. Nicely maintained, clean, good for families or date night! Great local place.
Super fun spot to spend some time. Honestly I have taken lots of "non gamers" here only to have them fall in love with arcade game from the ages. Staff are super nice and helpful if any issues come up. Pinball machine are ohhh so sweet and very well maintained. Not sure if it is fully accessible tho which really sucks...
Very hot down there. Reasonably priced though for the pinball! Not checking for vaccination status which I guess is because they aren't a license eatery, so the small space was a bit much for me personally. I think anyone who enjoys arcade games will love this place though.
Excellent service, loved the new separate room that we booked for a small gathering. We felt very safe!
Pinball, people! What else is there to say?
All of the fun and nostalgia inducing games, pinball, racing, shooters...everything works, staff is great, and just a sweet spot to burn some time and tokens.
Due to COVID we had to book the place for our bubble for an hour, but even at $120/hr it's worth it. No having to pay to play, or waiting for your favourite machine! All the games were in good repair and the staff person was super friendly. Lots of games to choose from, especially pinball. Already planning our next visit!
So much old school fun. Great selection of classic games and an amazing amount of awesome pinball machines
This is the islands only proper arcade, it has all the classics, games range from 50¢ to 1$ (pinball), which is quite reasonable. They also keep expanding and adding games. Plus, they display high scores for the more popular screens on a public leaderboard, which is coool ????
Great little spot with some seriously great games, and design! Though the sweet wife of the owner wasn’t even working I accidentally bothered her for a tea, but she was still super helpful! The owner has a serious passion for the work as well. He was so patient with my friends, and answered all our questions about the place. I recommend this place to everybody. Go play Gauntlet Legends!! My friends, and I will definitely be back.
I have been waiting such a long time for a place like Quazars. The machines are reasonably priced with one dollar pinball, 50 cent video games. They have some rare gems that cost 1.50. The machines are in impeccable condition, the selection is wide and varied, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is perfect. You are missing out if you don’t go at least once.
Too much fun, I'm definitely fitting this into my regular routine! Also for the record I destroyed Ellen at Killer Instinct
All of the pinball. It’s bloody glorious.
A lot less dark, dingy, and sticky than I remember arcades being when I was younger. Great selection of pinball machines, but they could use a better selection of standup arcades. While they’re missing some obvious classics (Street Fighter, Golden Axe, Galaga, Pac-Man, Simpsons, just to name a few), they do have a few I hadn’t played before, which was a pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to go again.
Absolutely awesome. Great selection of both games and pinball
Great little hidden gem!
Great new arcade. Just like I remember as a kid. My boys and girls had a blast until we all played street fighter and I cleaned their clocks with Ryu. But they have sodas so I was able to stop the tears with the craft soda
If you need a good old arcade fix this place is great. Video games from the 80's Galaga, Ms. Packman and pinball machines from the 80's and 90's in perfect working condition. Well worth the visit.
Feels like being a kid again. Thanks for opening a fun place like this.
Loved this place. Unfortunately we got there about 45 minutes before closing, which wasn't long enough. I wanted more. It was a bit too warm in there, but most places in the area don't seem to have AC, so you just deal with it.
First time visiting this Video Arcade, it was great lots of retro Video games and Pinball games. P.S, Staff is also very friendly.
Great place to to play some classic arcade games.
Great staff, machines work. Old school fun.
So much fun. Great selection of retro games and pinball.
It was trippy being in an arcade again. So much nostalgia
Didn't like that there wasn't a heads up that it was closed, unless you are planning on renting the place out for a couple of hours with a certain sized group of people. We just moved here, it's my son's birthday and we don't really know that many people let alone people with kids. I would be willing to rent the place for a couple of hours for my family of four, perhaps talk some friends and coworkers next time too. When I do get in I will change my review accordingly, I am dying to get my game on...
Always fun always awesome
Great addition to Victoria. Nice spot, well organized and clean, and welcoming to kids so they can share in the fun and nostalgia. Some great games. Thanks Quazar's!
Really fun place with lots of amazing machines I’d love to return
A whole room full of pinball machines and other arcade classics. The coffee is pretty good too.
Wonderful experience for the family who loves video games! Token based retro video games from the early days of the true arcade generation. Great selection, with updated leaderboards showing off your skills. Nice section of pinball machines that are well maintained. Hats off to Quazar’s Arcade for having ample foot stools for the smaller kids who need to see just where the hell Q*Bert is hopping! The only thing lacking are old school riding units, but space is limited. The few they do have I consider more modern such as Crazy Taxi and Star Wars. Get out there and support these folks as finding retro arcade machines in this type of setting are slowly disappearing. Sure one can emulate the game, but it’s the hands on feel that the little one’s are missing. My son wears his Quazar’s shirt with pride that he finally got to level 3 in Frogger. Myself, I beam with joy knowing he experienced something special by visiting a real arcade in 2021!
Really awesome arcade. They're constantly rotating games so there's always a new machines to play, but the best machines stay out all the time. I think there's something wrong with the Pirates of the Carribean pinball machine though—it kicks my butt every time I play it ????
This place kicks butt!
An eccentric, awe-inspiring, and unique place to go to, in beautiful Victoria, BC.
Amazing selection of both arcade and pinball machines. Reasonably priced and easily accessible and visible from the main street.
Very well laid out arcade with an incredible selection of pinball games and old school classics. The location is perfect for travellers looking to kill some time, and is very family friendly. A great opportunity to introduce the young ones to the foundation of gaming.
They have Street Fighter ????????
I want to give you more stars. This place is amazing. Hope to see more arcades in the future too!
Retro feel, machines in great shape, and the collection is clearly thoughtfully curated. Every game is fun!
Its a blast from the past! So many great vintage and retro style video games and pin ball machines. This place is in a great location right in the heart of Old Town. Definitely worthwhile stopping in from the nostalgic appeal
Until time travel is possible, this is how one can get back to the 80's renaissance of arcading. Medieval madness slays! Revenge from mars is a revelation of pinballing entertainment!
It's a very good, place very fun
The best arcade!! Great games and Excellent music!
Pinball machine. Win
This is a great Arcade and they have amazing games! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town! Shoutout to Jules for being a great host :)
Excellent selection of pinball and arcade games. Not expensive at all.
Awesome spot and love that they rotate games!
This place is better than the Goose and Johnny Z's by a country mile! A deep selection of pinball, a motif fit for Carl Sagan, and that Steve Webb is a real babe. This place really is Victoria's "extremely luminous active galactic nucleus." Fill your pockets full of tokens and mash your fingers for the height of fun! (Please get TMNT.)
Great staff, awesome arcades. Super super cheap. 50 cents to play one arcade game. Amazing! Can't wait to see this place grow.
An absolute blast from the past. 20 Dollars got me 40 Tokens. 1 token is typically a single credit in an arcade machine, with pinball machines taking 2 tokens. Has a wide selection of cafe beverages and is liquor licensed if memory serves. Notable machines for me: Ultimate MK3 Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Captain America and the Avengers X-Men the Arcade game 4-player cabinet. but the selection is much wider and varied.
This is one of the best family fun spots in Victoria! A huge selection of vintage OG arcade games along with an amazing (rotating) selection of Pinball! It's a fun, clean environment with the friendliest staff... Jules and Ewan are always there greeting people by name. If you haven't been, do yourself a favour and take a time machine back to your childhood.... you won't be disappointed ;)
a great contribution to Victoria's culture and identity as a city
Fantastic atmosphere and run by people who are clearly passionate about their business and the arcade scene as a whole. Super impressed.
Great classic arcade with an excellent selection of games and an authentic arcade feel. Good prices too. ????
Quazars is one of the few experiences in my life that has 100% lived up to my expectations! Amazing! Well set up and maintained and just fun as heck Prices for tokens are low! Great for a date or to take the kids Highly recommend!
Quality machines and a clean environment at affordable prices.
I loved the variety of arcade and pinball machines. Most of the games are very vintage and brought back a ton of memories. At $0.50 per game, it isn't cheap, but I can see why that fee is necessary in such a prime location and for the upkeep and purchasing of these great machines.
I'm 40+.. I walked through the door and a rabbit hole into an 199X Arcade and lost my #$&@ mind. A family place. We took the kids there the next time. No drugs, no booze just people having fun.
Cool atmosphere, mainly adults which is nice, awesome selection of pinball and various arcade machines. Great that they have a snack and drink bar. But my wife and I were hesitant to buy any snacks or drinks after how much the pinballs and arcades cost. You need to buy tokens, no problem, except they're $10 for 20 tokens for example, and each machine takes 2. So it's a buck a play. I think the 20 tokens lasted my wife and I about 15 minutes at most. I can see spending over $100 in an hour or so.
What a time warp!! Amazing selection of great well preserved video games and pinball!
Plenty of multiplayer games, lots of pinball, rarely do you have to wait for a machine
this place is totally coll..live rhe retro games was like going back to 80s
Fantastic arcade. Lots of older video games, and one side filled with pinball machines. The workers were friendly and helpful. During the day when we visited it wasn't too busy at all. Great place to take the kids to kill some time while waiting on a ferry.
I love this place, cheap prices, great games and it makes me feel like I'm inside the novel Ready Player One.
The Terminator Salvation game is always a good time, and a great selection of pinball.
Awesome selection of pinball and classic arcade titles that just keeps getting better! Shout out to Jules for being super rad!! (And of course Steve Webb but everybody knows that.)
Favorite Pinball spit in town
Great place for the family.
Quazar's has a mix of 20 or so new and classic pinball machines approx 20 stand up video game machines. It is $.50 a token the pin balls are 2-3 tokens and the Arcades are 1-3 tokens, Also gets 5 stars because they have a Coffee Bar. People with mobility issues might have trouble with the stairs as this is in a basement in Trounce Alley.
Really fun place if you like classic arcade games and pinball!
Great spot for a date night!
SO COOL! If I lived in Victoria, I would be broke as I would spend a good portion of my free time here. Awesome neon lighting, a place to get something to drink if you're thirsty, cool games and decently priced. I had an awesome time here. Fun for all ages :)
The nostalgia is palpable... The owners are great, they are enthusiasts and are interested in making a great experience for their customers. I love that they regularly rotate out/bring in new (old) cabinets and pinball machines.
Fantastic. Every pinball machine is in great condition and clearly well cared for. The entire place is super clean. The lighting is spot on as well; there's some natural light from the main entrance, and enough glow lighting around the machines that it really shows off the games without feeling gloomy. The staff were helpful and responsive, immediately offered to turn down one of the machines when I mentioned it was too loud. Reasonable prices across the board. It's also worth mentioning that they don't rig the machines; many arcades will over-tilt the pinball machines to drain your ball more often. None of that here, they all play well. And no weird quirks where a ramp is crooked and dumps the ball or anything like that. Clearly a business that cares and I look forward to making this a monthly tradition. Only thing is I wish there were some coat hooks on the walls near a few of the machines. I wasn't sure where to set my coat while I played, and I didn't want to leave it out of eyeshot on the tables further in.
Stoked there is a new arcade in town, and a damn good one too. I'm heading there on Thursday with a whole bunch of friends for my 30th birthday! ????
I love this place so much and come here almost every day. 10/10, they should implement a membership plan or something for us regulars!!
Lots of great pinball machines. In great shape. Received a free game on the house just cause. Good service
It's like we're looking down on Wayne's basement, but it's not Wayne's basement.. Isn't that weird..? Garth that was a Haiku.
Found this gem by accident and we had a great time. Lots of funky retro games like Ms. PacMan, etc. Tons of pinball machines too. There are drinks available onsite and they are close to many eateries near by. Highly recommended!
Super fun, full of old-school video games, chill vibe and easy to get to. This is a great hidden gem. Perfect for a work team-building outing on a Friday afternoon.
I got to check it out for the first time this weekend and had a blast!! I will be back again soon ????
Good memories come to life while playing games from childhood. The bathroom is painted in a fun way.
Wow! Whay a great place! Machines are well looked after.
Good selection of games. Enjoyed the ghostbusters pinball machine. Would go again.
Great to see an arcade again, I loved the street fighter rainbow edition.
Love this spot. We're planning a work get together there next week.
This place is great. Lots of games that are great plays. Prices for tokens are fair and most games are 1 token per play with pinball running 2 tokens for most tables. Feels great to be in a true to life arcade again.
Good selection of pinballs and video games!
Very happy with this place. There are some great machines here, a few of my favorites. During my first visit, I complained of the machines being too sensitive. I was happy to see that this was promptly corrected. They are all within normal range now.
My best friend and I made sure to stop here during our stay in Victoria. We had the best time. Super nice employees and quality pins and machines. Hidden gem for sure. I can’t wait to visit again. 10/10 recommend.
Hands down the best place to remind you of being a kid again
Such a cool space! Makes me wish there were more like it.
This place initially had me very excited when we went in. They had classics like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Afterburner... every machine we tried was either broken or wouldn't accept their custom tokens. MK3's joysticks wouldn't respond to upward movement half the time. Half the place is full of pinball machines, but the lighting is so poor you can't even see what the hell is happening. And for some reason they cost two to three times more to play than the non-pinball machines. Overall, great idea but terrible execution. Maybe if they actually maintained their machines it would be better.
They have Crazy Taxi. Nuff said.
Reminded me of the old Johnny Z days...so fun
Really neat arcade with mostly pinball machines. Most pinball machines cost two tokens ($1) per play. The atmosphere is really cool with the coloured lighting. When I went on Saturday night, it was almost all young adults, and almost every machine had a person at it. There's probably about 25 pinball machines and 20 other games.
Such a great place! The owners and staff members are genuinely good people. We booked the party room for our son’s 9th birthday party and it made for an amazing day. Thanks Quazar’s!!!
My favorite place in all Victoria! What an amazing venue full of (mostly) 80s arcade games, some 90s, and the one fake retro arcade from Wreck it Ralph movie! They also have a vast selection of pinball machines. The workers there are super nice, and the atmosphere fully reminds you to the good old days. Token prices are fair.
Great little arcade with reasonable cost for tokens (50 cents each). Most of the older games are one token, which is a fair cost. Pinball machines were two tokens. Honestly, forgot how bad I was at some of these games but many of the classics like Ms.Pacman, centipede, and Dragon's Lair are present and accounted for. Place is a bit dark, but certainly fits the location. Recommend taking your arrogant friends to remind them they aren't as great as they thought they were. Also recommend to bring back some nostalgia.
My favourite place in town to go. Some of the best maintained and most varied machines I have seen.
Fun arcade with lots of 80s classics!
Excellent selection of classic arcade games and pinball machines. The tokens are reasonably priced and it is a fun place to stop by for a bit. The atmosphere is nice and reminds me of playing the arcade games at the movie theater as a kid. You purchase food from the vending machine using the tokens which I found interesting! Reccomend 100%
OVER 40 pinball and video games- from old school to today's best! I can't ask for more!
We really loved visiting Quasars today, especially for all the awesome pinball games! It's super fun and it's quite reasonable cost wise. Our family of 4 spent an hour and only dropped $20. Jules was a great help and provided excellent service!
Great space and really well curated selection from classic to modern pinball and arcade classics. Nice to see a unique offering for the City in a hard to utilize location on Government Street. They've done a really great job at creating an environment for people of all ages and I'll keeping pumping quarters into Pub Champion Pinball until I get on the board.
Awesome fun! Even though I still suck at pinball!!
This place is awesome! It's a true oasis for gamers. Glad to see arcades aren't dead. Highly recommend checking it out.
My new favourite place to hang out downtown! Been waiting for a great place to play some pinball and finally Quazar's Arcade has arrived with an amazing selection of great pinball machines. I had so much fun playing at this place!!
Only 90's kids will remember.
This place is so much fun. It always seems to be busy so plan to wait for your favorite games. Staff here is always great
Fantastic selection of classic arcade titles and equally impressive pin ball choices. Every time I've been there I've experienced a well maintained environment with pleasant helpful staff.
I have not visited, but I had pre-paid to rent a machine for our wedding reception which had to be cancelled. They were so easy to work with and refunded us promptly when we notified them that we could no longer rent the machine. Great service!
soo much fun, the only cool place to hang out in Vic ;)
Video games. What's not to love?!
I am a big fan of arcades what can I say. I really like pinball they have some very fun tables a couple great new ones some old classics definitely take a look if you like some real old arcade machines and or pinball. Not a huge place or huge collection but hey some of the games here are really cool so why not spend some time here.
Retro arcade with some great pinball machines! Freindly staff and fun atmosphere! Reminds me of the Electric Jester on Quadra Street!
Probably the most affordable place downtown to take your kids out for some fun. A family could easily play games for 4 hours, for less than half the cost of a 2-hour movie.
This place is a beautiful jungle of 80s and 90s nostalgia, and i have blown at least 300 dollars at this place. It officially tops the arcade in san francisco. Dog bless. *kissing sound
Awesome place to bring friends. Arcade games change everyone once in a while. Amazing atmosphere!
Made a reservation for the private room for 7pm and was running late, talked to Julian who was super friendly. They were super understanding and pushed it to 7:30 and extended our time for another 30min because we missed the first 30min. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fun time in the city and wants to do something different with a group of friends! 10/10
So fun. Lots of fun games. Loved pinball and nostalgic games.
So much fun! A great spot to stop as you bar hop, or get tired of the daily grind! Driving games, pinball and arcade games. It really is good wholesome fun!!
Classic arcade games. That should be all I have to say! :D
Fun arcade with reasonable prices :)
I felt like a kid again.
Pinball machines like tons ! And cheap to play!
Excellent pinball selection, friendly staff. :D
Such a cool spot pinball machines and old school arcade games an it's SUPER cheap
Great arcade games, kinda small feeling but still fun. 1 out of 2 employees were good but what can you do about that. All in all it was really fun to play all the old games with my daughter.
Excellent selection of cabs and pins, can be quite busy though!
Great arcade
So great to have a real arcade in town!
One of my favourite spots to kill some time and some centipedes! I seriously love this place you can tell the staff that work there love it too. Really adds to the feel good fun vibes! I’d highly recommend taking a date for some fun or spending a rainy afternoon down there! You won’t regret it
I was propelled into my Youth, so much fun and not expensive.
Nice place with very old arcades but in great condition.
Great place for a date night
Loving this fun new addition to downtown!! Emily was amazingly helpful with teaching me how to properly play pin-ball... and now I'm hooked!! Will definetly be back for more fun games and great service.
Great selection, cool atmosphere. Loses a star for the screaming children but not really a drag on this place. Would be nice to see later hours and some times for 18+ only.
Quazar's rocks! See you again soon.
A great new addition to Victoria's downtown. Wonderful nostalgic feeling once you enter. Great selection of arcade cabinets and pinball machines. I have no suggestions for any of them because they're all awesome. But yeah Mortal Kombat Ultimate 3
Super great..go have fun...we did ⭐????
So much fun. Tons of games and decent coffee!
Dope place -- staff are chill and helpful if the games eat your coins. Otherworldly selection of pin ball machines.
What a GEM! The 80's are alive and well in this well kept and clean arcade in the heart of downtown. All of the machines are in mint condition and the staff is great. Like totally don't miss QUAZAR'S, like fer shurr dude!
It was like being in my first year of university again. They had Jailbreak and Rampage!
We rented the Gamma Room for my son's 4th birthday and it was amazing. The perfect space for little ones as it's completely separate from the main arcade and has a great variety of games for the kids to enjoy (and their parents …
Such fun! Blast from the past!
Amazing selection of games, and the music is always on point. Perfect place to kill some time playing video games and pinball!
What an awesome place! Super friendly staff (owner?), Great selection, good simple pricing. Had tons of fun there with my 8 year old daughter and 11 year old son. Will be back for sure ????????????
Best arcade on the island... a much-needed addition to the local scene (though the prices for the 'premium' machines are a bit dear).
We had my son's 13th bday here and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. We rented out the place before it opened to the public, and it was a super fun space for the kids to roam, game and have fun. The vintage games are all meticulously restored and it was so fun seeing all the classics like Donkey Kong, Frogger etc. The staff is so friendly, the place is super clean... I couldn't recommend it more. They play great 80's music and I even had fun playing Ms PacMan - it brings you back to your childhood, too!
Our group of three female pinball enthusiasts was thrilled to spend an afternoon in Quazar’s! They have an abundance of well cared for machines. The staff, especially Jules, was extremely welcoming. We enjoyed the friendly banter and the inclusive gaming environment.
Loved the classic games. Brought back good memories.
Amazing arcade. Great staff. Superb pinball machines, both old and new.
Best place to play arcades game
This is a great little blast from the past arcade. A good selection of old video games with a few newer ones plugged in there. On the other side you have a nice selection of new and old ponball machines to play. Now don't worry, those old machines will still eat your tokens from time to time, but the friendly staff will give you a hand and back to gaming you will go. If you haven't played a coin operated machines in years then this is the place to go, and if your kids have no idea what your getting excited about, bring them along!
My new favourite hang out, soon to be yours too. Stellar pin set up, great arcade cabinets as well! Love Centipede. Pleased to hear they’ll be switching games out every so often! Can’t wait to see what they have in store for the future!!
This is the real deal arcade with wall to wall vintage arcade games and pinball machines. Totally Awesome
Classic and new games with a good variety. Prices are fair and you can easily get a good hour or two of fun out of twenty bucks even for two people. The smile on my face that whole night was well worth it!
Solid selection of games. Had s great experience here with my six year old son. Will definitely revisit on every future trip to Victoria.
So glad a place like this has opened again.!
Awesome game selection, cozy convenient location, solid cup of coffee, and rad as hell employees combine to make this absolutely stellar arcade a MUST for anyone looking for quick and satisfying entertainment in Downtown Victoria.
Classic games, reasonable prices, friendly staff
We booked our Christmas party at Quazar's and it was amazing!
Super fun and cheap entertainment.
Tokens are a little on the high side cost wise otherwise it's a wonderful little place.
Great old school arcade with a number of recent reno's and new machines. Clean and well maintained arcade and pinball machines of all types. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting a great arcade experience!
I had a great time there with my kids, it really takes me back to hanging out with my friends when I was younger. There's a good selection of pinball games, and lots of vintage machines for the older gamer too!
Great place to spend a couple hours! The pinball machines were all sorts of fun. Hopefully they end up with more co-op shooters. Also more snack options would be rad.
Love the non alcoholic night time fun vibes, the well maintained & loved machines that are fun. Nice array of pinball and arcade games with both classic titles and rarer ones. My favorite is Iron Maiden pinball machine that let's you pick one of several songs to listen to while you play. Great coffee and espresso too!
Great place to spend a few hours, relax with like minded people, and play some amazing pinball machines. Can't wait for the VPL!
Great pinball selection.
Old pinball and video games with fifty cent tokens, good times
Are you kidding me? I just transported back to 1985 and I was once again the guy with his initials in the number one spot on "Centipede". Come on, put your quarter up on the machine if you want to play me! What a great experience :)
(Translated) MULTUBALL !!! (Original) MULTUBALL!!!
Yup, this place is awesome! The pinball is where it is at....the old machines still cost a quarter to play and with the growing inflation and lack of growing income these old machines are a bit pricy to play but it's the nostalgia of it. I heard pinball tournaments are coming up and hopefully the Alien pinball machine is ready to play soon!!!!! Thanks to the staff and management for this awesome addition to downtown Victoria!
Great times! So happy to have pinball back in town!
I just got back from taking the family out to Quazar's Arcade and I was very impressed with how they captured the feeling of the arcades from back when I was a kid. It was a great experience sharing the games I grew up playing with my 8 year old daughter. The wife and I were very excited to see the selection of pinball tables they had. All in all, the whole family had a great time. Totally worth it. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the machines in the arcade. We will be visiting again in the near future .
Great place, friendly service. Nice selection of games. Love the medieval pinball!
This place is amazing! It brought me right back to my misspent youth pumping quarters into Street Fighter and pinball machines. Most games cost only $0.50 to play, which is not too bad given that they were a quarter in the 80's and 90's. The owner was really cool as well. My son was concerned for a homeless man and his dog on the street outside in the hot sun. He asked the owner if he could buy some water for the dog, and the owner just gave him a bottle. So a bottle of water, and a can of iced tea (that we already had) later, left a man and his dog refreshed and smiling.
Awesome games and they aren't pricey, only 50cents per game! The staff are lovely and there's plenty of space to just sit if you don't want to game. Gets a bit hot in there though!
Great games and it's so cool we have an arcade here in Victoria!
Great quality, excellent location.
Great arcade! Always have fun there
I highly recommend Quazar's Arcade! We rented the arcade for 2 hours for our son's 7th birthday and it was amazing. Due to COVID, they only rent out the space right now for 20 or fewer people. We felt that they kept the whole place sanitized and we felt quite safe. Jules was a pleasure to work with and made us all feel comfortable while there. It was fun to see old games like Q-Bert and Tetris and some newer games like Terminator. There's a large selection of pinball machines and so much selection, there's something for everyone! Thank you very much for an amazing and memorable 7th birthday for our son!
Great atmosphere, love it!
It’s like walking back into my childhood, all the games I remember, Terminator Judgement Day, Rolling Thunder, Centipede, 1942 the list goes on and games are in constant rotation. There’s even 80’s hair band music!! ????????
An amazing atmosphere and so many beautifully maintained arcade machines!
Family loved the classic vibe. Was a great, fun time.
Great staff. Great selection of 80s and 90s pinball and arcade games. Fun way to kill an hour or two and have a blast of nostalgia at the same time.
Awesome arcade, so much fun. I really missed the days of having one in Victoria. Quazar's is so much better though - the atmosphere is great and there's drinks/coffee/snacks. Can't wait to go back!
Absolutely the best gaming experience in BC!!The team there are also so friendly and enthusiastic! Brings me back in time in a super fun way!
HOLY NOSTALGIA! This was one of those arcade experiences that reminded me of my childhood. Descending the stairs into Quazar's is like going to the past. The machines are well maintained and feature a variety of great games. I am a big fan of the vast selection of pinball machines. The staff is friendly and helpful. I like that the machines are token operated. Makes for an efficient means of transacting and using the machines.
If this place was in a movie I'd laugh at it for being unrealistic. Video arcades don't exist anymore, do they? Definitely not brand new ones, full of excited people and tons of machines in great shape. For whatever reason--maybe it's some eccentric millionaire's passion project, maybe they found a time portal to 1992--this place DOES exist, and it's really, really cool. The atmosphere is somewhere between a video arcade at the height of arcade mania and a video arcade as depicted on a Netflix show about teenagers. It's dark, with a retro-future vibe provided by washes of coloured lighting and a pumping synthwave soundtrack interspersed with the sounds of cabinets from the '70s through '90s. A good chunk of the floorspace is given over to a large collection of pinball machines, and there's a bar where you can get pop and coffee. Machines are in great condition (not even for their age--there would be far more broken cabinets at a well-run arcade when these things were new) and prices are reasonable.
Great way to live the dream I had as a kid. Never had a chance to visit arcades much as a kid, thanks a lot!
The owner Peter and his staff are just amazing, stepping in just skyrockets me back to my childhood and how much time I’d spend playing arcade games and the best part is that they keep getting more in. A must visit for anyone wanting to stroll down memory lane or make new memories.
I went on opening night, and then again on the next day. Since this place has opened my friends and I have been making an effort to go at least once a week and have been. Even when I've brought people along who aren't into necessarily into pinball or classic arcades, we have always left with huge grins on our faces. The selection often changes which keeps each visit exciting and you can easily spend more than an hour here on less than $10 if you pace yourself right. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Victoria desperately needed a place like this and I intend on being a regular for a long time to come.
Awesome pinballs. Great fun!
Really fun place to have a cute date night. Me and my partner had a tone of fun. Only suggestion I'd have is the person who was working could be a little more fun
Fun times. Short lived tho. Need a bigger space. Very enjoyable tho
they have crazy taxi
Really really fun!
Had a great time with my sons and nephew, brought me back to my childhood. The kids ended up having a great time and 25$ was enough for the three of them for an hour!
This place is amazing. Brought me back to being 12 years old
Awesomeness.
Awesome staff and atmosphere, great selection of games. Great place to hangout and kill some time
Quazar’s has the greatest atmosphere! It brings you right back to when you are a kid and is a really great place for nostalgic adults to relive their childhoods. Plus, Quazars has a game for everyone!! They even have Terminator 2 ????
It's like going back in time (in a good way). Music, games and staff are great. Put down your fornite and interact with people again. So much fun!
Great place to rekindle your love for Pinball! I haven't played pinball in ages (unfortunately); however, Quazar's has brought it back to Vic and I can't thank them enough! Very impressed with their lineup and selection. I can't wait to see if they host tournaments / leagues! It's definitely a once a week visit for myself. Staff are extremely helpful and care about their establishment.
sweet pinball games
As much fun as when I was a teenager.
(Translated) The place is fine, but it lacks more video games and is a bit expensive. (Original) Esta bien el lugar, pero le faltan mas video juegos y es un poco caro.
Played pinball, shot T-800's in the face. 10/10, would shoot T-800s again.
Awesome arcade with super knowledgeable staff. All the arcade cabs and pinball machines are meticulously maintained and always in tip top shape. I beat my all time high score on Ms. Pac-Man at Quazar's!! Oh yeah the t-shirts are awesome too :)
Wonderful atmosphere, great games and very welcome addition to the downtown core! Prices for tokens were quite reasonable and the selection of games was great. Would love to see more added! Have to dock stars for accessibility to the venue. There’s a steep set of stairs to get down, making it difficult for anyone with a cane or crutches, and impossible in a wheelchair. Some of the machines are pretty tall as well. Maybe they could add a couple of step stools to borrow for the kiddos to have a better view. Overall it’s a great experience and brings something much needed to this town. Would love to see some accessibility improvements (I understand it’s a difficult space to work with, don’t get me wrong) but I am nevertheless excited to return and improve my pinball skills!
Fun atmosphere. Great spot to kill some time, and super friendly staff.
Slightly unfriendly guy at the counter, but awesome machines! Well worth the visit for classics.
Came to this place last night and I could not believe how this business is still open. So many people rave about this place and I’m not sure why. It’s very boring and plain there. The staff did not even welcome me and my wife or even said hi to us. This is the worst arcade that Victoria has ever had. Some one please bring back Johnny zees
Lots of coins eaten by the machines. Initially friendly staff that introduced everything to us, but second person that we spoke with to get some coins back that were eaten was salty. I guess he thought my kids and I were trying to scam them?
What an incredible experience. It is a very clean and well maintained, the staff were friendly and helpful. They have upwards of 15 pinball machines of various themes, including Rock n Roll, films and pop culture. On top of that they have a large collection of amazing traditional arcade games, Pacman and Tetris included. what a fun way to burn $50 and a couple hours. I highly recommend it.
Concept is really cool but many of the machines don't seem to be in playable condition. The first time I got a coin eaten, I asked for assistance to get replaced but the next 6 times over various machines just didn't seem worth the trouble. The Tetris 2P side rotate buttons didn't work most of the time. Their Street Fighter II Championship Edition isn't authentic. It's a bootleg rainbow edition, which is unfortunate as it was one of the main reasons for my visit (Their website still advertises championship edition). It's really unfortunate as I really wanted to like this place. Looking forward to seeing things get better so I can support them more. Maybe the next visit in a few months will change my mind. Best wishes, Quazar!
Amazing
Had a blast at the arcade!! Really fun way to spend an evening.
Went here for my sisters birthday party and it was so much fun loved all the old games and the look of the place it was just a blast
Needs a liquor license.
Great classic pinball and games, all coin-op. Located where Wolf Sheep was.
This is what Victoria needed so bad. I highly reccomend getting your nostalgia on with this gem of a business!
Awesome retro arcade games, and it's reasonable priced. 50¢ a token, and 1 token a game normally.
Some machines ate some tokens. Although there was one guy who works there that seems distrusting when we bring up that tokens behave been eaten, everybody else has had no issue giving back the lost tokens. Altogether a pretty fun experience taking my neices there and giving them a taste of the old arcade atmosphere. For the owners/operators... please stick with the old 80s music instead of top 40 or rave-ish music, it just makes it seem more authentic.
What a great place, a wonderful time for dates, families, friends to go and have some fun and laughters. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I look forward to many pinball afternoons. The back ground music is fantastic too.
Where else can you go and spend a few hours and not very much money throwing quarters into classic arcade games. And all these years I thought I was good at Battlezone. Plus there's a whole lot of very high-tech pinball
Throwback to the small arcade of the 80's, with various pinball and arcade machines.
Great for family and friends.
Its... its the happiest place on earth.
I'm sure we will be back again in this hidden gem , archade game are awesome.
Great time
This place is a lot of fun, would have gave it 5 star's but got a little warm.
Great place! Pretty busy on weekends but great way to spend some time. Need more spots like this.
Tons of pinball machine. Pretty much half of it is just pinball machines. Still got variety.
Awesome spot, great staff, wicked pins!
Rentable private area good for kids bday party. Decent selection of pinball and arcade video games including some classics. When they get a Xevious machine it will be 5 stars
So cool! I had no idea about this place and it's all age friendly and does not serve booze(which is great)!!
So much fun - classic arcade games. Good place to spend an afternoon.
Love this place. Great selection of pinball. Clean - staff always wiping things down. Hand sanitizer everywhere.
Great machines, great atmosphere, very reasonably priced
Lots of fun. Loved all the games from my childhood. So many different pinball games.
Such a cool place.
Love this place, relives my childhood. Needs more fighting games and maybe the side scrolling multiplayer smash em ups like X Men and TMNT.
Absolutely love this place!! It’s like a scene out of stranger things/ wreck it Ralph. Great music and atmosphere. Staff is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Love it here!!!
Hidden Arcade that is worth a visit! They have a great choice of old and new pinballs and various retro arcade games! We will definitely come back to play pinball. :) Staff is very friendly as well. It could get warm down there on hot days. Mask is required but vaccination proof was not checked.
Awesome place for Pinball and retro arcade games!
good value and variety of games
Love it
Always a good time!
Brought my partner there for his 30th birthday and there was some extreme nostalgia going on! So fun! Recommend off road and neo geo Puzzle Bobble.
I had a amazing time ! I felt so welcomed ! Working was boopin to the music and super nice ! Highly recommend for some fun
Super happy that Victoria has an arcade again and the selection of pinball tables is amazing
Owner/ employees very rude. Do not ask questions or they will be very disrespectful to you, took my kids there and will never return. My kid asked how high scores were tracked and if you had to register with him or did the machines track it, (she's doesnt know she's never been to an arcade) his response was he watched her play and she didn't look like she'd have any high scores.. he then had sassy remark about the pandemic: "Theres this thing, its called a pandemic..." Not a very friendly way to tell a teenager that they don't have a certain game. Very rude. Its funny, he seemed to know all about the pandemic yet while I was there not one machine was wiped down. Went to use some sanitizer but that was empty too. The man was very eager to take my money though!
Awesome place to go and have fun. All the pins and arcades are super well maintained. They also keeping a nice rotation on them, so every time I go over there, there is something new to try out. 5 stars for sure.
Haven’t been to an arcade like this in a long time. WOW! both the selection as well as the quality and condition of the cabinets in the arcade are a 11 out of 10!!! DO NOT leave victoria without dropping some tokens at Quazars!
It was a good experience but was too dark and you could tell they never cleaned the machines
Had a blast with a Mother's Day booking. Staff was super friendly, accommodating and the games were so much fun! Will most certainly be back as this spot is a MUST visit in Victoria.
This place is authentic, music,lighting,right down to the cavern like ambiance. Great for an escape ,or to just pass some time. Kids like it. The staff is pretty great too.
Cool setup with old and new arcade games. Friendly service and a little bit of food options if your really hungry but you could play for days in here without stopping, if gaming is your thing.
Was such a blast playing all the vintage tables! All that's missing is the black knight!!!!
Great selection, extremely friendly staff, a much needed addition to Victoria. That said, I miss Crystal Castles
Loved the place. Great nostalgic atmosphere and super friendly staff! Even had a great 80's playlist rockin'
Great experience good old 80s style arcade.. parking's a little tough but that's downtown Victoria for you
So much fun! Great pins and service.
Always wanted a arcade in victoria I've been coming here a fair amount since it's opened and it's been a good time each time.
Busy place. Good prices on the games
Fun fun fun
Everything you remember about arcades. If you like retro games and pin ball, you won't be disappointed.
Tis the best thing to happen after cheese ????????
Awesome place. Would go again :D
Good
A decent collection of games for good cost to play
Super fun classic arcade games, only downside is that the a/c wasn't great when I was there and it got really warm.
Great selection of pinball games and retro games, great play to spend a quick ten bux
Great games, new and old!
Fantastic blast-from-the-past!
Great atmosphere with diverse game selection, interesting and knowledgable staff, a must stop destination on a night out.
The Best vidio games
Excellent Arcade! Before covid, we enjoyed going here with our friend group - and now since the pandemic we have been twice and utilized their room rentals. Having a room of great games just for our group has let us enjoy a couple of fun and covid safe days! The room/table/games feel very clean for the room bookings. Thank you!
A fun place that offers old school arcade games and several pinball machines. Something worthwhile to check out if you have some free time downtown. I'll be back again.
Had a great time here. They had my favorite game (the Simpsons). The pinball games were good too. I brought my kids and they had a blast! Only thing it's missing IMO is an air hockey table.
Fun retro arcade, definitely will put you back in the 80s and 90s. Friendly staff, great experience if you're old enough to remember arcades
We rented pinball machines for our wedding at Bear Mountain and it was such a great decision!
A great place to unwind and have some fun. Hang out with your friends and challenge them to some pinball with the person with the lowest score buying a round of root beer.
Great to finally have a decent arcade in Victoria. Good selection of pinball and classic arcade cabinets. Would be good to see some Streetfighter options added to the beat em ups! Oh also the super loud hair metal isn’t for everyone.
Quazar's Arcade is exactly what the Victoria arcade and pinball scene needed. Quality machines, staff, and atmosphere - couldn't ask for more!
Fun arcade full of rare and old timey games. We plated 4 games for just a toonie. Worth it
So much fun! Nothing like old school video games! Wish there more like this around
Best blast from the past. Easy to get tokens. Great, well maintained games. Hours of fun.
Super friendly staff, chill vibe, fun games ????
Absolute blast from the past old school arcade ..they did an amazing job with this place
Great pinball assortment of games. The games are very affordable so I’d advise to buy less tokens if it’s your first time since you unfortunately cannot refund them.
What a special place. Takes me back to my childhood. Great selection of arcade games and pinball machines!
I love this place! Special shout out to Jules who was a super fun and accommodating host. We had a birthday there last night and we were all so happy with the experience and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a private event of up to 20 people in these crazy Covid times. Thanks again Quazars it was a blast :)
This place is awesome! Fun way to kill an hour downtown.
Great place to play old games and pinball at a good coin price.
I haven't played Zaxxon since the 80's! Awesome!
It was like walking into my teenage years all over again. Great games, good 80s lighting, great time.
This is a super fun way to kill some time downtown. The atmosphere is super chill.
Oh mah gawd! My wife and I came here for my birthday. Got shown around, got a couple extra tokens because it was my first time there. I was blown away by the selection of games and pinball machines! The guy I spoke with was really knowledgeable about the machines (where they came from, how they rank in the world) and was all around friendly. I went back a few days later because it was so great!
Love it! So much fun
Fun tastic again !
Such a little gem!
Great place
Very fun place
there are few things that i look forward to lately as i do playing pinball here. i often even find time to pop in on my lunch break to play a round or two. tokens ALWAYS in my pocket, the staff have always been kind to me and i appreciate the atmosphere. i can't even properly describe how awesome i feel this place is. 11/10
Nostalgic is a great way to describe Quazar's. Awesome fun is also an accurate way to describe the arcade as well. Great proprietors, cool atmosphere. I love it, my kids love it. I wish them longevity.
So much fun. Great for kids of all ages.
Can not get anymore old school arcade than this. Funky atmosphere and great selection of classic pin ball and video games!
Super duper awesome! Great selection, super friendly atmosphere and very good value :)
Love the vintage games, the variety is great as well. Lots of fun for little ????. Worth the trip for sure
Super awesome experience!! I had a great time here!
This place is awesome. A must for a group of kids between 8 to 99 years old!! Excellent choice of games. Perfectly set up. The people here are amazing. Good coffee too. Love it.
Absolutely love it here. The people are always so nice and it doesnt break the bank to hang out here.
Excellent spot! Location is easy to find and game selection is really diverse. Very happy to spend a few bob here.
The staff are awesom people. Its an arcade go squash every ones score!!. Real video games in their natural habitat. Awesome place. I go 4 times a week at least and im not loosing interest.
Had a great time and great customer service from Jules. He was super nice to my kids and made sure we we're all having a great time. We will be back!
Wanna feel like the world is normal again? Go here.
Nice little getaway for old fashioned stand up arcades and selection of pinball
Good place, smells just like an arcade.
Fun place, lots of machines and pinball. Cool ambiance
Finally open! And totally worth the wait. A load of fantastic games - a great selection of pinball and arcade classics. My kids had a chance to play something that wasn’t on a stinkin’ tablet! Staff were friendly, attentive and obviously passionate about making Quazar a success. Absolutely reasonable costs to play - 3 of us played on a ton of games for 25 bucks over an hour and a half. Quazar’s Arcade is awesome.
We go there every Saturday, it's a blast!
So much fun with the knowledge to back it up! The staff are stoked on their games and know the history of the consoles. Awesome emmersive experience.
Blast from the past baby! Afterburner, and Track and Field, after a hard day taking in beauty from the city. Go here now. Play games get nostalgic and shed a tear
A fun place to go. The games cover the breadth of the gaming eras, with relatively new games all the way to some of the oldest arcade games. Quazar's is a great place to kill an hour or two.
Excellent pinball games that are very well maintained!
Love the great vibe this old school style arcade has. Good variety of pinball and video games really brings me back to a fun time in my youth that I can now share with my family Highly recommend this place.
Awsome love this place spend alot of time there during the week but noticed on the weekend's it can get really busy and seemed understaffed for how many poeple that wer in there think there was only one guy working and one of the bathrooms was closed just seemed like they could use one or two more staff too help out but otherwise love this place!!!!!
Amazing just needs the simpsons acade game
Finally Victoria has a cool arcade spot! Great selection, nice clean and welcoming. Definitely will be signing up for the pinball tourney ????
Pretty cool, having an arcade room in town again, that is open. Lots of good arcade games and 11 pinballs. The staff working, are very happy to help you as well. See you next time I'm in.
Really great place to have fun! Alone or with friends and family. So many different games, different difficulties and different prices. If you're ever bored in Victoria, this is definitely a place you want to check out.
Spend 350$ for 2 hrs and can't even get a call back from these guys. Won't do that again.
Hidden away hole in the ground! Great for nostalgia and cool pinball machines. An excellent way to waste an unexpected amount of time and make you late for everything else.
I can't say enough good things. The staff were amazing. The games were perfect. We hired the party room out for a birthday all the kids had so much fun. We were given a Bluetooth speaker for music. Covid rules are in place. The staff kept a check on us. The tokens are a decent price for the machines in the main hall the party price included free play on all the machines. Brilliant. Thank you Jools!
