ArcadesUnder $20
Arcades in Kitchener run from a downtown beer bar to game rooms tucked inside bigger outings. For a night out, start at AOK Craft Beer + Arcade on King Street West, where more than 20 retro games share the floor with twelve rotating taps. Frederick Lanes on Frederick St adds a retro-focused arcade to 32 Brunswick lanes, so you can bowl between rounds.
If you have kids along, Putting Edge on King St E pairs an arcade with 18-hole glow-in-the-dark mini golf for about $16. Bingemans has the GameworX arcade beside Kingpin Bowlounge. At Funvilla on Gage Avenue, budget extra, since arcade games are sold separately from admission.
