Button Mash

Walking into Button Mash feels like stepping into the ultimate hangout spot you always wished existed. This Echo Park arcade bar taps into that wave of 80s and 90s nostalgia that makes anyone who grew up in those decades feel young again. But here’s the thing—it delivers so much more than just a trip down memory lane. The massive space features a hyper-modern design that creates an intriguing contrast with the classic arcade machines scattered throughout.

The game selection here is nothing short of impressive. Whether you’re looking to dominate at NBA Jam with your crew or lose yourself in a round of Indiana Jones pinball, Button Mash has the goods. The layout is thoughtfully designed so even when the crowds pack in, you never feel overwhelmed or claustrophobic. It’s a rare feat for a popular spot in LA.

What makes Button Mash truly stand out is its versatility. You could easily bring a date here for something different and playful, or round up a big group of friends for an epic night of gaming and bar food. The vibe works whether you’re a die-hard arcade enthusiast or someone who hasn’t touched a joystick in decades. There’s genuinely something for everyone.

If you’re looking for a spot that defies easy categorization—part bar, part arcade, part gathering place for anyone seeking a good time—Button Mash delivers in spades. It’s the kind of place that surprises you with how well it all comes together.
