The bartender was very friendly. They offer a variety of vintage games and play excellent music from the 80s and 90s.

He went out his way to apologize about my experience and to make things more than right, I could ask for no more. Mark is a very respectful owner and I will 100% be back with friends to experience more of the Bar Arcade atmosphere on my next trip to the city! Original: Chill bar, bartender was very nice. Drinks were pricey. Unfortunately, went outside for 15 minutes to smoke and when trying to re-enter the bouncer tried to charge cover. Wouldn 't even ask the bartender if I was there already. I was told it 's the owners rules, not up to the bartender. Went next door to bigtide to finish my night, great place with friendly staff
