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!
