Such a cool barcade located inside a historic old industrial space in Fishtown! They really embraced the vibe here & went with it! Not the largest barcade we’ve been too however they have a nice curated selection of vintage games & famous classics. Just need a 21+ ID to enter & you can change your cash bills into tickets. Games cost 2 tokens per which is 50 cents. We came on a Sunday night & it wasn’t packed. Just a Very chill & cool vibe. Everyone was just enjoying drinks while playing games. Nice bar selection of drafts & cocktails. Didn’t try the food. We spent about 2 hours enjoying ourselves.

First time at Barcade and I was really impressed from the moment I walked in the door! Their selection from the games to the beer is pretty diverse with plenty of specials and happy hours to incentivize you to keep coming back for more. I was fortunate enough to come when they opened up for the day so I was able to take my time with everything. All of the games work as they should and it’s an instant throwback to any arcade I’ve seen growing up. They have a lot of the classics, pinball games, racing games, etc. The games take either their in house tokens or quarters and they can even charge tokens to you tab if you don’t have any cash. Major appreciation to the fact that someone or a company is continuously maintaining these games and I can imagine these games have seen the inside of a few arcades over the decades. Their tap line was by far one of the most unique ones I’ve seen and would’ve loved to try them all if possible. Not having a couple basic beers on tap might stray away some casual beer drinkers, but I love trying new beer so this was no issue. The dollar off discount for happy hour really helped with their pours ranging from 7-10 bucks. I took a star off because I felt like their food menu felt a bit short in comparison to everything else going on in Barcade. I only tried their dollar dogs and some tacos but there was nothing on the menu that grabbed me in the same way that their beer or games did. Finally, the service was great and the bartender was very straightforward and explained how things work there easily. I would go back for more!

As an elder millennial, this concept seems so simple it is hard to believe it wasn’t thought of sooner. Old school arcade games and beers. Absolutely brilliant. So many great arcade cabinets from back in the day. You’ll have quite the nostalgia factor here. Very solid drinks menu too with a wide selection of beers and cocktails. Plenty of seating too if you want to socialize without playing.

Disappointing compared to the one in city center. Not even half the size and seems more focused on pinballs than anything else. I don't even remember seeing Marvel vs Capcom(any version) and the Star wars controls needed some TLC. They also seemed more expensive, everything was 3 tokens, which again wasn't the case downtown on my last visit. As such I didn't spend much time or money here. Serving hazy hearted gets you 3 stars, but otherwise a let down.

Stopped here for a few beers with friends. Very eclectic bar and great choice if beers on tap. Was really fun to play the arcade games I grew up with as a kid. We did not order any food, so I am unable to taste or comment.

Always a great time, especially $1 Tacos on Wednesday nights! Great selection of classic arcade games and pinball games like all the barcade locations.

This was a great find we stumbled upon and hung out in while we were waiting to meet up with some friends. There were tons of games, and they were all in great shape and reasonably priced. There’s a cash to arcade coin conversion machine inside, and there’s a full bar as well. Plenty of seats at the bar, and there’s also lots of spots in the arcade area for you to set your drinks down on while you play. Next time I’m in Philly I’ll probably suggest to my friends we meet up here for the night instead!
