Winnipeg, we’re excited to finally say it out loud — GRETA is opening November 2026 at 115 Garry Street, right in the heart of downtown. If you’ve been looking for things to do in downtown Winnipeg that go a little further than dinner and a movie, we think you’ll like what we’ve got planned.
We’ve spent the last few years building GRETA in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto, where we’ve become a go-to for group nights out, milestone celebrations, and corporate events. Now it’s Winnipeg’s turn, and we couldn’t be more ready to be part of the city’s downtown core.
So, What’s GRETA?
If you haven’t experienced GRETA yet, here’s the short version: we’re an arcade bar for adults. With more than 50 modern and classic arcade games, craft cocktails, and a globally inspired street food menu, it’s a place to eat, drink, play, and stay awhile. Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, air hockey, Skee-Ball… you get the idea. Grab a game card, order what you’re craving, and make yourself at home.
GRETA is the kind of place you can settle into for the night. A date that turns into a few more games. Drinks with friends that turn into dinner. A casual hangout that somehow becomes a full night out. The space is designed to be easygoing, social, and a little different from your usual downtown plans.
In other cities, GRETA has become a go-to for celebrations and group nights out. Come November, Winnipeg locals can book the space for birthdays, corporate outings, wedding socials, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and any other occasion that’s worth getting the crew together.
Why We Picked Downtown Winnipeg
Downtown Winnipeg has a community, energy, and nightlife scene all its own. We wanted to be part of it, all while bringing something new to the city. GRETA YWG is somewhere you can meet up, stay awhile, and make a night of it. If Friday night has you searching “downtown Winnipeg nightlife,” we’re hoping GRETA makes the list.
And then there’s the building. Every GRETA lives in a heritage space, and 115 Garry Street has exactly what we look for: exposed brick, high ceilings, big open rooms, and plenty of history and character. We get to add our own chapter to a venue that already has a storied legacy story, and we can’t wait to show you what we have in store.
Everything You Need for a Night Out in Winnipeg
What makes a night at GRETA feel like a GRETA night? It’s the mix of 50+ arcade games, great food, and seriously good drinks, all under one roof. Whether you’re looking for arcade bars in Winnipeg, planning a date night in Winnipeg, or just looking for somewhere different to spend the night, GRETA gives you a little bit of everything.
Games, Drinks & More
Grab a game card, order a round of craft cocktails, and settle in for the night. From Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat to Skee-Ball and air hockey, there’s plenty to keep your group busy between drinks. GRETA offers craft cocktails, local brews, and plenty of delicious mocktails and non-alcoholic options.
Food Made for Sharing
Our food program is just as much a part of the GRETA experience as the games. Our menu is scratch-made and features globally inspired street food made with fresh ingredients that are sourced locally. We offer shareable plates, full meals, and late-night bites for whatever the night calls for. We also ensure there’s options for different dietary preferences, so there’s something for everyone at the table.

GRETA is the Hub for Group Bookings & Corporate Events
Whether you’re planning a birthday, a team social, a milestone celebration, or just looking for an excuse to get everyone together, GRETA makes it easy to turn a night out into an actual event.
With arcade games, food, drinks, customizable party and group packages, and plenty of space to hang out, there’s something for everyone — and you don’t have to plan every minute of the night.
A few of the ways we love hosting people:
- Birthday parties. Party packages make it easy to get everyone playing, eating, and drinking. Packages include gaming and drinks for the whole crew, as well as options to upgrade based on your preferred celebration type.
- Corporate events. Skip the awkward team-building exercise. Bring your team for games, food, drinks, and a chance to actually hang out. Perfect for team socials, client events, end-of-quarter celebrations, and office parties.
- Wedding socials. Looking for a wedding social venue in Winnipeg? GRETA offers a relaxed, unconventional setting for bringing your friends and family together before the big day.
- Date nights. Trade the usual dinner-and-drinks routine for something a little more playful. Grab a game card, order a few drinks, and see who gets bragging rights by the end of the night.
