The Rec Room at the Roundhouse is Cineplex's 40,000 sq ft barcade and eatertainment complex at 255 Bremner Blvd, built into the heritage Roundhouse right beside the CN Tower. A near-100-game arcade, billiards and ping pong, axe throwing, a full-sized live-music stage, the Three10 restaurant and a couple of bars, all under one roof. Here's the honest rundown, plus how to book a table.
The sceneThe Rec Room is a giant play space with real food and full bars wired through it. The arcade half — dubbed "The Yard" — is close to 100 machines, from racing rigs and basketball hoops to skee-ball, classic cabinets and redemption games, all run off a rechargeable Power Card. On the other side there's the Three10 restaurant, bars, billiards, ping pong and a full-sized stage that runs live music, club nights and trivia. It's set inside the old train Roundhouse, so the room has actual character instead of feeling like a generic box.
The vibe shifts with the clock. Daytime and early evening it's all ages, so it plays as a birthday-party, families-and-tourists, after-work-crew kind of place. Come 11pm it flips 19+, the stage and bars take over, and on a weekend it reads a lot more like a proper night out than a games hall. Past the cabinets there's axe throwing and racing simulators, plus a patio with a dead-on view of the CN Tower right overhead.
If you're after a dark packed dancefloor, this isn't quite that. The Rec Room is games-and-eats first: come to actually play, eat and drink between rounds, and let the stage carry the late end on a weekend.
Quick factsThe Rec Room runs on reservations for food and events, not a guestlist — the games themselves are pay-as-you-go on a Power Card. Fastest way to lock in a table, group booking, birthday or private event is straight through the venue at therecroom.com or by calling (416) 815-0086. Prefer we pass it along?

The Rec Room is inside the heritage Roundhouse at 255 Bremner Blvd (M5V 3M9), in the South Core right at the base of the CN Tower. It's in Roundhouse Park, a short walk from Union Station, the Scotiabank Arena and the Rogers Centre, so it's dead easy to reach on transit and a natural anchor before or after a game or a show.
It's a 40,000 sq ft space built into Toronto's old train Roundhouse, where crews once repaired steam locomotives. The arcade side, "The Yard," packs in close to 100 games — racing, basketball, skee-ball and redemption cabinets. The other half is more grown-up: billiards, ping pong, axe throwing, a full-sized stage and a big screen running sports or TV when nobody's performing, all backed by the Three10 restaurant and bars. It's built for playing, eating and hanging, not for standing around.
Beyond the games there's a proper sit-down restaurant — Three10 — plus a couple of bars and quick-service counters, so you can settle in for a full meal or just grab drinks between rounds. Expect wood-fired pizza, fried-chicken sandwiches and craft cocktails rather than reheated concession food. The full-sized stage runs live music, club nights and trivia through the week, and once the room turns 19+ after 11pm it leans more into a night-out energy. Between the arcade, billiards, axe throwing and the stage, a group can bounce between activities and keep drinks in hand the whole time.
The Rec Room takes reservations for food and events while the games stay pay-as-you-go, so the move is to book a table or a group rather than to line up. Reserve directly at therecroom.com or call (416) 815-0086 for birthdays, group bookings and private events. You can also send your night and headcount through the form on this page and we'll pass the table request along. No invented cover, no fake guestlist — just a real reservation.
Book a table for the group, hit the arcade and axe throwing, or catch a live night on the stage. Couple taps and you're set.
