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!

A bar that brought back my childhood, being able to play some retro arcade games whilst enjoying a cold one was one of my best experiences in Philly. The food was great, the staff were friendly and attentive. I look forward to being back in the US and in Philly to visit here again. There's nothing quite like reliving your childhood games with a couple of beers. Thank you.

The original location and exactly what they advertise themselves to be - a bar that offers a solid, expansive drink menu where you can indulge in your love for classic arcade and pinball games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Great place to kill an hour or two if you're in the neighborhood either kick starting or ending a night out in Northern Liberties and/or Fishtown.

This place was great. Lots of old school arcade vibes. Lots of vintage arcade video games and pinball machines plus an extensive craft beer selection. They had a simple food menu that was fine too. We had tacos. This was a good place to visit there were more games than I took pictures of in the place. If you like an eighties arcade vibes this is your spot.

Great fun to hang out with friends. There is a bar to buy drinks and a bunch of games to enjoy with friends. The games were retro games, and were in great condition. There is a machine to convert cash to the arcade coins to play games.

This place is SO MUCH FUN! It was humid, sticky, a little stinky, and full of nothing but laughs and good shouting as people drink and play games. Food is "bar food" and prices were decent. Note: you have to pay for Barcade tokens here; the machines don't take quarters! Lots of options to drink, and there are daily specials. If you like a good beer and retro arcade games, this is the place.

What a fun spot! Great atmosphere and fantastic menu. Def recommend the tacos. We had 2 orders and the deviled eggs. Plus 3 bloody Mary's which I have to say was the best ones I've had in Philly since moving here in 2018. We will def be back especially to beat my high score on Willy Wonka. Yep at 68 I'm still a PinBall Wizardess!
