GameTime Miami is a two-floor arcade and entertainment venue in South Miami, Florida, that pairs classic gaming with a full bar and restaurant. Unlike a pure-play arcade, the venue bills itself as a multi-purpose hangout where families, couples, and groups can move between games, pool tables, food, and drinks under one roof.
The arcade sits within the Sunset Place mall area in South Miami, giving it a suburban South Florida setting that’s distinct from the more touristy arcade experiences elsewhere in the Miami area. The combination of attractions — gaming, food, and drink — positions GameTime Miami as a flexible option for both daytime family outings and late-evening adult visits, with hours that stretch well into the night on weekends.

What Players Say
GameTime Miami draws a broad crowd thanks to its two floors of arcade games, pool tables, full bar, and restaurant. Food and drink quality earns consistent praise from visitors, and several reviewers point to well-priced promotional deals that boost the value of a visit — though the card and ticketing system used for play can be confusing. Service quality is the most uneven area: some staff members are singled out as standout, while others come across as dismissive or inattentive.
The atmosphere draws mixed reactions. The arcade’s setting on the upper floor of the largely vacant Sunset Place mall colors the experience for some visitors: “Its on the 2nd floor of basically an abandoned shopping mall. That vibe carries its way inside unfortunately” — Google review. Even so, the on-site food and drink are widely seen as a highlight. As one reviewer put it, “The food was a delightful discovery—truly delicious” — Google review.
Game selection is a point of debate. Many visitors appreciate the ticket-game-heavy lineup and find the prices friendlier than competitors: “The games are cheaper than Dave n buster’s and they have similar games” — Google review. Others, however, miss the fighting and skill-based cabinets more typical of a classic arcade: “there’s no fighting games like normal arcades, mostly just a bunch of ticket games” — Google review. Machine condition is similarly mixed — “Some machines were out of service and others need some tlc but the kids had fun!” — Google review.
Families and party bookers tend to leave the happiest reviews. Birthday parties are a recurring bright spot, with specific staff members frequently thanked by name — “Great birthday party experience. Mason, Leandra, and Alexia were great! Kids had a blast” — Google review. Promotions such as the $15 Thursday deal that includes five hours of play time get regular mentions, and parking is partially offset by mall validation: “They validate your parking ticket for $4 off parking” — Google review.
Service hiccups do appear in reviews, including slower food runs and front-of-house friction — “it took close to an hour to get our simple and easy order (wings, pizza, fries) out” — Google review, and “the bartender immediately yelled that our child couldn’t sit at the bar, even though we never intended to sit there” — Google review. These episodes are balanced against a large volume of positive interactions, but they’re worth knowing about before you visit.
Games & Machines
GameTime Miami runs two floors of arcade cabinets supplemented by pool tables. The lineup leans heavily toward ticket-redemption games, with reviewers noting a limited selection of traditional fighting and skill-based cabinets compared to a pure classic arcade. Some machines have been reported as out of service or in need of maintenance, so the playable selection can vary from visit to visit.
Visiting
GameTime Miami is located in South Miami, FL, inside the Sunset Place mall. Standard hours run 11AM to 11PM Monday through Wednesday, extending to midnight on Thursday, 2AM on Friday and Saturday, and 10AM to 11PM on Sunday. Weekends offer the longest play windows and the earliest opening time, which makes Saturday morning a natural slot for family visits and Saturday night a strong option for groups.
The venue doubles as a restaurant and full bar, so most visitors can plan an entire outing — gaming, food, and drinks — at one address. Birthday parties are a popular use of the space and are frequently mentioned in reviews; prospective party bookers should contact the venue directly at +1 305-667-4263 to confirm availability, packages, and any age policies. Parking at the mall is partially offset by ticket validation.
