Barcade a great an safe night out with friends or date night! Food was surprisingly well done! Five guy style fries but on the healthier side! Not so salty an the fried chicken sandwich had a great crunch an flavor to it! Great pickles as well! Start a tab by taking card an ID! Can order tokens at the bar an have it go on the tab! Real easy access to have fun! Notice the coat hooks all around the bar. Leave the coat, have pockets or a cute purse an enjoy your night out! Most games are two player at a time. Pac man an a marvels game are the only 3+ player games!

I first discovered and fell in love with the concept of this restaurant at the JC location years ago, and now it has become one of my favorite spots in New Haven. They have a wide selection of draft beers, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders, and they even have pinball machines.

If half stars were available it would only have been 4.5, because I'd think much better of them if they carried a little better selection in the alcohol I consume (I stay away from Beer, and can only have so much of the one variety of Cider or Mead). But otherwise this place is great fun and I always have a good time with friends there.
