The Rec Room Mississauga | Entertainment, Arcade & Dining at Square One

For entertainment under one roof in Mississauga, The Rec Room at Square One is the city’s standout destination. Operated by Cineplex Entertainment, this sprawling two-floor venue inside Square One Shopping Centre combines a vast arcade with hundreds of games, a live music auditorium, full bar and restaurant, and themed social spaces designed for everything from date nights to corporate events to weekend family outings.

The main floor features an enormous arcade offering redemption games, immersive simulators, and competitive attractions — everything from classics to the latest in virtual reality and motion gaming. The games area flows into a full-service kitchen and bar serving elevated pub fare, craft beer, cocktails, and shareable plates designed to keep the evening going. The upper level houses an auditorium space that hosts live music, DJs, comedy shows, and special events throughout the year.

For groups, The Rec Room offers flexible booking for birthday parties, work events, and social gatherings, with dedicated staff and customizable packages. Walk-ins are welcome at any time, and the venue is family-friendly in the early hours, transitioning to a more social crowd in the evenings.

The Square One location opened in 2019 and has become one of Mississauga’s most popular after-work and weekend destinations. Given its position inside Canada’s largest mall, it pairs naturally with a full day of shopping, dining, and exploring the Square One area, which includes Celebration Square and the rest of downtown Mississauga just across the street.
