The Rad Bar Review
A Blast from the Past in Fort Walton Beach, Florida
I recently had the opportunity to visit The Rad Bar in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, with my teenage boys, and we all had an absolute blast! This unique bar is a haven for retro gaming enthusiasts, with a vast collection of classic video games and pinball machines that will transport you back in time.
The main attraction for my boys was the retro video game selection, which featured all the classic consoles and games they've heard about but never got to play. They spent hours hanging out with friends, competing in high-score challenges, and reliving the nostalgia of old-school gaming. The Rad Bar's gaming setup is impressive, with a wide range of titles to choose from, ensuring that everyone will find something they love.
As for me, I was in pinball heaven! The Rad Bar has an amazing selection of pinball machines, each one meticulously maintained and ready for play. I spent a significant amount of time playing classic tables, feeling like a kid again as I competed for high scores and tried to beat my personal best. The pinball machines are a major draw, and I appreciated the variety of titles available.
What sets The Rad Bar apart is its welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making sure everyone feels at home. The bar itself is well-stocked with a variety of drinks and snacks, perfect for fueling your gaming sessions.
If you're looking for a fun and unique experience in Fort Walton Beach, The Rad Bar is a must-visit. Whether you're a retro gaming enthusiast, a pinball fanatic, or just looking for a cool spot to hang out with friends, this bar has something for everyone. We can't wait to go back and do it all again!
Rating: 5/5 stars
Recommendation: Bring your friends, bring your family, and get ready to have a rad time!

I'm a sucker for good barcades, and great humans. Many reasons, this is a $10 barcade. There's a noise ordinance. The staff will be upset if you win their tournaments. Unenthusiastic staff. Poor management.

Great place to get a drink and play games! The cover fee was a steal for unlimited free play games, and they have a huge selection of drinks that are all affordable. The staff is friendly and welcoming

Love it other than the music being really loud. Ended up with a headache, but otherwise this place is AWESOME.

I’ve been here several times over the past few years. They have a great selection of vintage arcade games and some stellar modern pinball machines. They do a good job bringing new games in so it’s usually updated from the last visit. Beer selection is on point- whoever picks out the games and beer has great taste. I was shocked how clean the bathrooms were. Staff was friendly. Fort Walton is lucky to have a great small business like this!
Kid-friendliness: While it’s technically a beer bar, it felt fine having kids here during the day.

We come here for a few different occasions every year and each time we are greeted with a smile. After showing our IDs we go grab some beer and have a great time. Never have been disappointed. The owners definitely take a lot of pride. We LOVE Radbar!
Man, these guys keep it clean and safe for everyone. Have a great time every time I go there. The selection of games can span any age, and the selection of drinks will ensure any age has fun. From Capri sun to adult beverages. Make sure you check it out.

I’m a grown man. They wouldn’t take my ID. They missed out on all the beer I was about to buy. I hope they close

Great free play arcade! Nice collection of well kept games. If I lived closer I'd be a regular. Great selection of Stern IC pins with live leader boards on the wall by the bar. Craft brews served in cans and a few on tap. Killer Queen was awesome to watch in action with 5v5 game play. We will definitely be back.
