Downtown Bellevue is about to welcome an exciting addition to its entertainment scene: Mirra, a cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) destination. Set to open in August, Mirra promises an immersive experience that merges technology with social interaction.
What Is Mirra?
Mirra is more than just a VR arcade—it’s a social entertainment hub. Located on the third floor of Lincoln Square South, Mirra occupies a spacious 10,700 square-foot area. Henry's Tavern previously occupied this space. Founder Sam Wang describes it as “taking the party game concept to new heights.” Imagine stepping into a world where VR games come alive, and you’re at the center of the action.

At Mirra, attendees can dive into a variety of in-house VR games. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or a curious first-timer, there’s something for everyone. The games cater to adults but are family-friendly, ensuring an inclusive atmosphere.
Here’s how it works: Each player dons a VR headset and becomes part of the game. Their actions are projected via a holographic avatar onto a massive 8K LED screen nearby. It’s an interactive spectacle—participants fully immersed, while spectators enjoy the show on the big screen.
Mirra designs, programs and develops all of its games. It will launch with tech-immersed party games in which players can dance, hunttreasure, dodge lasers, hit jackpots, play hockey or match bubbles by throwing balls and hitting targets. Games are designed for a variety of skill levels and players can play 60-minute sessions, with teams of up to eight, playing against other teams in the arena.
Complementing the high-tech gaming concept, the mirra space features multisensory, interactive technology including panoramic 8K LED screens, displaying different environments throughout the guest experience, from tropical forests and beaches to night clubs.
What’s on the Menu?
Mirra isn’t just about gaming. The venue boasts a full kitchen and bar, making it a place to unwind, socialize, and recharge. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply hanging out, Mirra offers a unique blend of technology and hospitality.
All Ages Welcome
Mirra aims to be an all-ages venue until 6pm, catering to families and friends. Afterward, it transforms into a 21-and-over nightclub, perfect for late-night fun.
