Charlotte's Room is open daily from 4pm to midnight and is found at 212 King st west. This arcade bar may not be as large as others, however, it has a great menu filled with all that late night food you crave along with beer and cocktails. Although they are known for their pool tables they have quite the game selection, I suggest you go and find out for yourself. But as technology evolves and gaming goes digital, some arcades go out of business. The good news? Arcades don’t need to disappear entirely. Arcade cabinets, gaming consoles, and pinball machines are excellent sources of unique furniture that you can find through liquidation. If you live in Toronto, Liquidation Company Toronto can help you find vintage unique pieces and other furniture at affordable prices.
