Amazing Jake’s in Mesa undergoing renovations, food & beverage upgrades

After 10 years, Amazing Jake’s entertainment center in Mesa is undergoing a massive renovation, including an upgrade of its food and beverage offerings and a new name – Jake’s Unlimited.

Starting this week, Jake’s is closed for construction Mondays through Thursdays, but remains open to the public Fridays through Sundays. Construction is scheduled to continue through September.

The 87,000-square foot building on Baseline, west of Gilbert, is getting new paint, flooring, lighting, and finishes (artist’s rendering shown above).

New attractions will include a dual-level laser tag arena, VIP bowling suites, six mini bowling lanes, an open-space bumper car arena, a custom-designed carnival-style ride, more than 170 arcade games, midway games, a full redemption store, and an expanded kid zone.

The former all-you-can-eat buffet will be revamped by executive chef Scott Nelson, who will also introduce an a la carte menu. There will be two full bars for guests to enjoy specialty cocktails, wine, and beer.

Jake’s Unlimited also will debut Jake’s After Dark, an adults-only happy hour starting at 8 p.m. daily. The event will include DJs, food specials, drink specials, and attraction specials.
