Additionally, their draft beer selection is impressive, and they have some great happy hour food and drink combinations. I will definitely be returning to enjoy more games, drinks, and food!

The appetizers, especially the buffalo cauliflower, were delicious as well. Plus, the games are super affordable at just 50 cents each. The atmosphere, vibe, and selection of music create a perfect setting for a romantic date.

This retro-style arcade offers a great atmosphere alongside food and drinks, making it the perfect place to relax. While it's possible to enjoy it solo, it's definitely more fun with friends. I've visited their locations in Jersey City and Brooklyn, and they all have a similar vibe. I think they update their menus with the changing seasons as well.

We came on an early Saturday evening so it wasn 't prime time or crowded which we liked. It was easy to walk up the bar and get drinks. Then we walked around and checked out the arcade games. We played a few and most of them were only on 'token ' to play which was the equivalent to a quarter! Pretty neat spot but it 's not that big so I wonder how crowded it gets during peak hours or during their happy hours.

Next time I'd get the bar pizza it looked so appealing. Change machine that gives you tokens. Games are 1-2 tokens per player. There is seating but first come first serve. Overall very good experience here. I parked in the parking deck which is adjacent to the Barcade. They can validate your parking ticket if its $50. However it cannot be split. I would try a different location closer to me. 9.1/10
