"Back before the arcade bar became a concept a bunch of people in Brooklyn swear they invented, there was Blipsy Bar. The Ktown dive has been around for years, and while it’s not the most impressive arcade bar in town, it’s definitely the most fun. There are tons of old-school pinball machines, Donkey Kong, Rampage, Punch-Out, and even enough room for a tiny dance floor that gets wild in a hurry. Cash only." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren

"Long before the arcade bar became a thing kids in Brooklyn thought they invented themselves, Blipsy was just a dark dive bar on Western with some pinball and Donkey Kong in the back. Guess what? It still is. Expect zero lines, no fancy cocktails, and a bar full of people who are actually there to play retro arcade games. Warning - it’s cash only, but there’s a coin laundromat next door for all your quarter needs." - brant cox

Interesting place. The atmosphere is very cool and there are many arcade games to choose from. It's also decorated very neatly. As for the actual bar itself, it's kind of a dive. The staff and the regulars seemed nice, but were a little rough around the edges. They told me that they do a heck of a burger. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try it. The prices on the drinks were quite high; $12 for a big can of beer and $17 for a long Island ice tea. Overall, this is ain't bad and may return some day if ever in the area.

This is a super cute and chic place to chill with friends and have a good time. They also have veggie burgers and ice cream available (for adults) so munchies are on the table! As far as drinks goes I only had a ginger ale but they do have a shot and beer deal on deck. So, if you are looking for a fun vibrant chic environment this is the place for you.

Nostalgic games a quarter each play pinball more . Shooting games, old school mario games , dj different themes different day. Open floor plan tables in the sides of walls. Parking street parking nearby if you make it their on time elmwood and rosewood. Spent 1 to 2 hours just felt like a kid again playing games I used to.

Depressing feel when you walk in there, it was dead empty with 2 people working the bar and yet it took a while to get a drink. ALSO, beware of their CASH ONLY scam that they have to get you to use their atm that is completely empty and does not dispense any money but takes it from your account. The atm said it would reverse the transaction and never did

I want to say there could be a better bar in Koreatown but I would be lying and sometimes I lie but I want to say that there is a better barcade in Los Angeles but I don't know what that means. I think that I mean Los Angeles county and I am not sure if I mean barcade and that is lying. I get that you are dealing with your insecurities but you won't have to deal with that here. I hope you get a chance to come around and try out the twilight zone pinball machine or put a few coins in the jukebox and play something that is relevant to whatever but no nonsense in here or your going to have to face the wrath of Arturo who is always spinning records on Monday.

As dive bars go, this place is at the top of the list. It has got everything a homebase bar needs, dark, cool, with plenty of ice cold bottled beer and average cocktail selection. But the real thing that sets this place apart from other dive bars are the glorious, glorious retro games. Laid back place, perfect if you're looking to drink a few beers and kill some time with some classic arcade and pinball games.

Very fun! The juke box could be a little better, some great artists but mostly more obscure tracks. Machines are in good condition, drinks are cheap.
