I don't know about the food or service, because I was busy playing pinball and Centipede, like I was back in 1981! I will be back, lol.

Super rude bartenders.

The bar was cool but unfortunately it seemed a lot of the games didn’t work and stole your money, had faulty buttons, etc. The place seemed more like it was a bar first and the arcade games were added as an after thought. It was very quiet on a random weekday night until about 9pm when a DJ and small crowd got there which was very very loud. Of course it’s a bar in the downtown Tucson area, so that’s somewhat expected and no complaint there. Just be aware if you’re expecting a chill, cozy arcade bar vibe, it is not really like that. There is also an upstairs area that is not wheelchair accessible.

I went in when it was totally dead but the vibes were really cool and they had their own in-house DJ seamlessly mixing tracks. I didn't get a chance to play any of the games but I will definitely be back with friends.

Preface: i came in for the games and not much else. Cool selection of games, but they really need some maintenance. The pinball machines especially. Tokens got eaten, balls kept getting stuck, resulting in lost games. Would love to come back and play more, provided those issues were rectified.

Very cool, trippy bar, wish they played more electronic music

This is not an arcade bar, this is a bar with arcade games. I think that is an important distinction for anyone looking for an arcade bar to understand.
Game are cheap with is a plus!

Good happy hour with $5 Wells. Wish they sold merchandise... Would have loved to get a sticker and shirt or hat.
Loved the games. You need to use tokens to play. The decor is awesome.

This barcade is pretty awesome; the drinks are delicious, the games take me back to when I was a kid, and the atmosphere is pretty great. My only problem is that after 9, you either have to stand outside to be able to hear yourself think or even talk to the person next to you OR be assaulted by the barrage of shitty DJ music that's probably more than 85 decibels. I'm trying to beat my high score on Galaga, not go deaf. It's like they're trying to be a dance club that has absolutely no room to dance. Be a barcade or be nothing.
As far as their pinball goes...one of the most frustrating places I've flipped pins. Kinda sad considering they have quite a few of premium stern machines without the insider connect hooked up. There's no way to contact their pinball machine operator which adds to how bad the pins play. Besides Attack from Mars, that was okay.

If you want to play some old fashioned arcade and pinballs and have a great drink this is the place to go and I recommend that place to anybody

Looks like a cool place to hang out. Very well designed and creatively themed. I should spend more time here I just hate the parking situation downtown.
