Lively atmosphere, lots of free games, reasonable drink prices, friendly bartenders, and random movies from the 80s and 90s projected onto the wall. Who could want anything more?

Amazing place to play and have a great time.

The African American bartender was very condescending and rude. It was our first time, so we were not aware that you had to ask for the remote to play the game when you ordered the drink. When we went back to ask, he stated that we should have known, and no exception could be made. After being told to go back in line to wait, as soon as it was our turn, he goes to the back, making us wait another 10 minutes. Thank you to the other bartender who took our order.

Great drinks, great decor (movies and posters, action figures) and great arcade area.

It feels good to walk Into this place with good lighting and good vibes. The drinks are fair priced, and the food is okay. Their game selections and set ups are really great! me and my buddies wait around for the N64 console to open up while we sip our drinks and take in the atmosphere

Need cash to play games. But not a terrible concept.
Always a great time at this barcade! Excellent space. Unique tasty drinks. The staff are fun and cool to talk to. The owner is always around to greet and chat with you. The classic Japanese arcade cabs are filled with great games. This is one of the best spots to hang at in OC.

Quite possibly one of 2 of my favorite bars in all of SoCal it’s a place I can come to feel the vibe and have a good time on my own or invite others to join me and experience something that feels more than a bar, I’m not one for bar hopping or clubbing but when I tell you the staff, the food and the gaming culture that’s here makes me feel comfortable to be here and want to experience again and again
I can go on and on about the good and how it just hits yea it’s bar food but it’s good bar food and one you can enjoy with others and by yourself
I hate to draw comparisons to other locations in this review but when I wanna Nerd out in geek culture I go to Guildhall and when I wanna nerd out in gaming culture I go here both scratch the itch of not making me feel like a foreigner for my hobbies and I’m glad both Guildhall and Barcode have stood the test of COVID but also continue to make anyone who is looking for something more in a bar or a place to relax after a long day at work and talk about anything
Shoutouts to Alex you’re so cut out be a bartender
This a very good video game themed bar. Very well run. The food is good, the mixed drinks are good, the staff are friendly and I do love how they are actively involved in the fighting game community. Even if you are a casual gamer you would still enjoy this place.
