Getting a thread for the one of the nicest places to hold casuals here in the 626 area code, DreamLab.
DreamLab Gaming
1023 South Baldwin Ave
Arcadia, CA, 91007
626-348-8534
This is located in a little shopping center, tucked away in the corner. To make sure you’re there, it’s in the same parking lot as Pho Express.
Open until late, this is a legit spot for casuals. There are 2 PS3 setups with SSF4 ready to go in front, as well as more stations for those who bring their own sticks. There are 360s as well, but 360 stations are bring your own game, bring your own stick. They also have a number of PCs for those who want to get their Modern Warfare, Left 4 Dead, or DOTA/HON on. A fridge full of drinks, snacks, great local food, and a stones throw from the Santa Anita Mall top it all.
Parking is a bit tight on the lot, and there are marked spots that you cannot park in until that shop closes. Street parking is free however. Carpooling is recommended.
SSF4 IS NO LONGER FREE PLAY! This is due to people skipping out on paying. James in fact has removed SSF4 on every day except Tuesday. You can still pay for time, and play, but no longer can you walk in and play. Let us show some support for DreamLab and see what we can do about bringing this back.
CASUALS TUESDAYS:
Casuals run all day Tuesday until store closes. We have several units and 4 Hori HRAP3 sticks (PS3) available for public use. Please bring your own sticks as well, so that we can play on the additional stations. If one were to bring 360 sticks, we can have one additional station…
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is provided by their own very dedicated community, and similar rules apply as well, but they offer the best competition you can find around.
Admission is $5 on Tuesdays only, or free if you purchase any PC time.
