Eats and Entertainment Under One Roof
The Rec Room Brentwood occupies a large footprint inside The Amazing Brentwood, the shopping and dining complex built on the site of the old Brentwood Town Centre mall. It’s a Cineplex-operated concept built around a single idea: combine an arcade floor, a bowling area, food and a live-entertainment stage into one space, so a group with different interests can spend an evening together instead of splitting up.
The layout leans toward volume and variety rather than a quiet night out. Expect a busy floor plan, bright lighting, and a steady rotation of guests moving between games, the bar and the stage area. It reads more like a social destination for groups, birthdays and after-work meetups than a quick solo stop.
The Arcade Floor
The arcade covers a mix of classic cabinets and newer redemption and racing games, from wheel-of-fortune style prize machines to bike and racing simulators with oversized screens. Play runs on a card-based credit system rather than loose coins, with points that build toward prizes at a redemption counter, so it’s worth budgeting a set amount before you start rather than topping up game by game.
Because the format skews toward groups, the arcade tends to feel liveliest in the early evening and on weekends. If you’re after a quieter run through the games, an early weekday visit is the better bet.
Beyond the Arcade
Games are only part of the floor plan. The Rec Room Brentwood also runs bowling lanes, axe throwing, virtual reality experiences, and table games like ping pong and pool. A separate auditorium-style area hosts live entertainment on a rotating schedule, including musical acts and comedy nights.
Most of these activities can be booked for private groups, which makes the venue a common choice for birthdays, work socials and team-building outings in Burnaby. Group bookings are generally handled directly through the venue rather than as a walk-up.
Two Ways to Eat
Food runs on two tracks. Three10 is the full-service restaurant side, serving a Canadian-leaning comfort food menu for guests who want to sit down for a proper meal. The Shed is the more casual counter option, built for grabbing something quick between games without leaving the floor.
Both sit inside the same venue, so groups with mixed appetites, some wanting a full meal and others wanting to keep playing, can split off and regroup without leaving the building.
Know Before You Go
The Rec Room operates an age policy that generally requires guests to be 19 or older with valid government-issued photo ID, with minors permitted earlier in the day when accompanied by an adult. Group reservations and specific evening cutoff times are subject to change, so confirm current policy directly with the venue before planning a visit, especially for evening or weekend groups.
One venue, four or five different nights out: arcade, bowling, axe throwing and a stage, all under the same roof at The Amazing Brentwood.
Rainy Day Pairing
Burnaby has a handful of other indoor and semi-indoor options worth combining with a Rec Room visit on a wet day, including the heritage buildings at Burnaby Village Museum. For clearer weather, Central Park and Deer Lake Park round out a fuller day in the city.
Getting There
The Amazing Brentwood connects directly to Brentwood Town Centre Station on the Millennium Line, making this one of the more transit-accessible entertainment venues in Burnaby. Drivers can use the mall’s structured parking, which serves all tenants including The Rec Room.
The venue sits within Unit 2106 of the mall, on Willingdon Avenue between Lougheed Highway and Halifax Street.
