Thriller Social Club - San Francisco, California

Daniel Lee

Folks, let me tell you, Thriller is tremendous. It's a fantastic bar and arcade, believe me. The moment you walk in, you're hit with this incredible vibe – a perfect blend of retro and modern, just the best. The selection of arcade games is HUGE, really top-notch. They've got all the classics and the latest games, something for everyone. Tremendous!

Now, the bar – let me tell you, they make the best cocktails. I've had a lot of cocktails in my life, and these are some of the finest. Great variety, great flavors, just fantastic. The staff? Incredible. So friendly, so attentive, they really know how to take care of you.

The atmosphere is lively, but also very relaxed – it's the perfect balance. Clean, well-maintained, just beautifully done. And the themed nights and events? Absolutely fabulous. Always a great time, lots of fun, and you meet some amazing people.

Thriller is a winner, folks. If you want to have a great time, play some games, and enjoy some incredible drinks, this is the place. Highly, highly recommended. A+!

This place is so much fun. The pizza was not good. But all the other food was great. Please add prosecco to the bar offerings.

What an amazing place! Truly an adult arcade where the balance between arcade and Social Club has found its balance. What's most impressive about this space is the amount of seating available if you are here for the social. The games even have places for your drinks so you can move freely with drink in hand and will always be able to find a place to set it down when you want to engaged in entertainment. Really good selection of drinks and beer on tap and multiple bars throughout the 2 floor space. The Xmas Grinch room is a must see. This is NOT your Dave and Busters and it is pet friendly, so bring your good boy along. The golf simulator is amazing with its accuracy and you can play FULL rounds of real PGA courses, but enjoy it while it's here as it may not be around forever. Machines operate on a card system so you won't be popping quarters. What a great place to come with friends and family for a good social time.

Now, my only complaint is this... There is no Street Fighter machine. I can forgive this, but it breaks my heart. Fighting games are a must, especially in an Adult Arcade. Any generation. Street Fighter II, 3rd Strike, Alpha, IV.. ANYTHING! Once they get this, this venue will have truly achieved its appropriate level of greatness!

This place is so cool! All of the old-school games that you can play really brings you back. It’s also decorated so nicely! Like an old school circus sort of. The lights upstairs, and on the other side of the room are really awesome. Bartenders are super nice, great customer service. Food is really good as well! Me and my friend spent like an hour on dance dance revolution. It was so much fun! When I’m back in San Francisco, I’ll definitely return to this place.

Place was nice, we had a good time, we were entertained. Just look at the menu and choose your food quick, or it might be a little while before the server gets back to you as that place gets pretty busy. Once they get back to you, they make sure you’re good. Our server/bartender was really nice. I’m definitely going back. Between the delicious food, a mixed drink each, we played like half of the games, a nice tip to the server/bartender and a lot of credits to spare on a game card…. I probably spent $125 or so.

Super fun bar with endless games, food, and great cocktails! You could spend hours here making your way through the different arcade/carnival style games. Great for friend groups and dates.

I would recommend getting here a little before peak hours to enjoy some food and get a lay of the land. It gets fairly crowded as the night goes on but it’s a fun vibe if that’s what you’re looking for!

Music is solid, but prepare to hear drunk karaoke at some point.

Thriller Social Club is a go-to spot in SF for an unforgettable night out with friends! It’s more than just a barcade, it has a welcoming vibe that feels polished and fun, striking a unique balance between entertainment and a relaxed, social atmosphere.

The two-story layout has something for everyone: plenty of games across both floors and a cozy lounge area upstairs for those wanting to unwind. Special recognition to Devon, Matt, and the amazing staff who bring great energy and make sure everyone has a fantastic time.

If you’re looking for a place to play, chill, and enjoy some of the best hospitality in SF, Thriller Social Club is a must-visit!
