Maintenance could be a little bit better of the systems. That said, prices for drinks are fair considering it allows you to play for "free." Theyve come a long way since opening to improve their cocktails. The bartenders have gone their craft significantly. Top of the line artisan cocktails? No. Decently portioned and competently made for the price? Yes. Lastly, the hot dog selection is awesome. The Mac and cheese hot dog goes great with a buzz and playing some SNES emulation.

THIS IS THE PLACE, GUYS. PACK UP, BOYS. I dont know why this place isnt more crowded, anytime I go in. Im usually there on a weeknight, but have been a few weekends, and I love it. All the staff are soOOo nice. My friend bumped into someone and dropped his drink, glass all over, and the wonderful bartender who helped clean it up was just cracking jokes the whole time. Really feel like part of the fam whenever I make a visit. Thanks guys :)

Anytime I come to this barcade I have a blast. Can get packed on the weekends but theres still plenty of games available as well as card games if youre not in the gaming mood. Staff is friendly, great liquor and craft beer selection, food is good for the price, and they play excellent music. Couldnt recommend enough!

The bartender was awesome. Loved the hot dogs. Nice game selections. Too bad that a few of the games werent set up for free play so I couldnt play them. Worst part was the owner shutting off my game in the middle of my game ten minutes before closing time. At least give me a heads up or something.

Excellent bar/arcade. Just a touch on the scruffy side decor-wise, but great selection of games, consoles, and pinball. Service and beer/drink selection was solid. Best part: its in a less busy part of town so the crowd isnt enormous and the wait for games is practically nothing.

Love their devotion to pinball and classic arcade games; clearly owned/run by folks who love great games and care about their preservation. All games except pinball are free to play, just buy a beer and a dog. The maple/goetta hot dog is worth the trip alone!

This fun barcade has a lot of character, and a good selection of games. If you want to have fun drinking and playing games, this is the spot for you. If you are looking for a classier joint, try 16-Bit, but youll be missing out on a lot of nerdy charm.

Awesome they upped the prices but still a very very casual place and good staff. Doing the most they can for what little space they have. Very good/awesome Establishment. Always a goto whenever I feel the need to game and drink

If youre a big fan of arcade games, this is your spot. If not, there are drinks. Theres food as well but I didnt eat it. Service was a little slow but they were pretty busy, so it was understandable. Would definitely go back.

Really amazing place, way better then 16bit. You actually have room to breath here! Also, there is an amazing room with all the old school console games you heart desires. Bar tenders are amazing and everything is so chill.

This place is perfect for gamers young and old. Great cocktails, full bar, local beer, and quite a few quick food options. You can play games individually or in groups. There is an outside area which is great for parties.

Great craft beer select. Havent had their hot dogs yet, but everyone raves about them. The kitchen is open until 1am, so thats amazing. Great selection of arcade games and console games. Live DJ most weekends nights.

Easily my favorite bar in Northside, pretty much a nerd haven but anyone could be comfortable and have fun at this place. The signature cocktails are amazing too (Id recommend the Dragon Slayer.)

Didnt eat the food but the service was great. Video games are free including SNES in the back area. Play some 50 cent pinball, get two drinks, and play the rest for free = $15.

Good drink selection, hot dogs are good but not great. Best game selection Ive seen at an adult arcade like this, though, including emulators for NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64.

Its my favorite bar to hang out at. They have Third Strike. If a machine is broken, mention it to the staff. They dont want broken machines on the floor any more than you do.

Really fun place to hang out or have a party. Hot dogs are delicious as well. Be sure to leave a good tip for the bartender. Shes amazing and works her butt off.

Great food, the staff is always friendly, talkative, and easy to get along with. Not to mention the myriad of retro games available to play at no extra charge.

Have loved this place since Day 1. Busy enough to be social, but easy to play any game without a wait. Cozy, and great beer selection! So much fun!

Great selection of arcade games. Free entry, but must purchase drinks. 3 stars because the drinks were sub par, cramped, hot conditions.

This place is gritty and cheap with lots of character. Play arcade and console games, eat gourmet hotdogs, and enjoy the drinks.
