Good bar and food BUT Long dark hair bouncer is ruining the place though. Power tripping and bothering people every time I’ve been. This time he kicked out my friends because he thought we threw his paper wristbands on the floor (the wind from door opening had blown it off). This dude is crazy and made my fiancé pick it up. Then he proceeded to shove her friend because he was standing up for her. Now he says he isn’t allowed back? Bros got to not drink while he’s working, hope management does something cause this place is otherwise a good time.

What fun!
As a Gen X Mom I enjoyed the nostalgic games and music (and beverages) at Barcade. My kiddos loved the big variety of games and kid friendly food options. Most games are one token. One token is 25¢. Took me a minute to find my cents key on this phone keyboard. I don't think I've ever used it.
I haven't been to an arcade in 3 decades. Used to ride my bike across town with friends in the early nineties with $10, get lunch at McDonald's, play games for hours at the mall arcade, and go home when the street lights came on. Not a responsible adult involved, interrupting, or bothered by us all day.
It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?

Very fun experience. Wish the machine for coins took credit card. Also the Kaboom! Hard Seltzer cocktail was awful. Should not be on the menu. But the bartender was very nice and let me get a new drink. Overall, fun.

We had a great time at Barcade! Our bartender made great recommendations, our food was excellent (fried pickles and peppers were so good!) and the retro games were a blast! This is a great place for a casual date night! Thanks to all the staff for being so welcoming, we will be back!

Wouldn’t let me in with my kids at 4 in the afternoon because they are “technically” a bar. They wouldn’t even let us sit outside to eat!

If Barcade has food and games then families should be welcome.

Ruined our plans as my daughter was looking forward to playing some of the old school games.

Barcade is a killer spot, many many retro cabinets, food is stellar, drinks are great, service is friendly and patient. A must stop spot especially as a starter or an ender to your night out.

I enjoy barcade, but I’m writing this review to thank the kind bouncer who was working tonight. He brought me tissues and escorted me back to my car after I had been harassed on the street and felt unsafe. I’m very grateful for him going above and beyond to help.

The selection of classic cabinets from the 1980s, combined with arcade style competitive/cooperative video games, along with individual pinball tables both old and new, creates a setting that is becoming less and less common and more difficult to find as establishments like this continue to shutter.

While the food can be a bit messy at times, the staff have always been cool, and the selection of games varies every so often. A good choice for a quick visit alone or with friends, whenever the mood strikes for a bit of electronic stimulation while sauntering down memory lane.
