Unleashing your inner kid with excess amounts of sugar and your favorite old video games is a great way to blow off steam, and you can finally kick those quarantine blues doing just that at one of the largest arcade pubs in Central Florida. Arcade Monsters is finally opening back up this week, which means you can once again indulge in that sweet, sweet nostalgia of classic candies, arcade games, and some adult beverages for good measure. They just added an expansion, and you can check it out during their soft reopening this Friday! On their Instagram page, the arcade gave a sneak peek of their new expansion, walking viewers through rows of pinball machines, retro games, and bright, nostalgic murals. Their new location passed inspection just a few days ago, and their soft opening is this weekend on Friday, May 22. Another post encouraged guests to wear anime or retro game-themed masks to the opening on Friday. Capacity will be limited to 50%, so you’ll probably want to get there early to grab your spot.
