Super fun arcade bar in the heart of Fulton Market. They have a variety of games including old school arcade games, pinball, skee ball, air hockey and much more.
There’s also a full bar with a wide variety of drinks and local brews.
We went on a Tuesday and if you buy tokens at the bar, it’s 2 bags for $5.

Was peeking through the windows to see if they had a cabinet of a game I love when Jose, the Assistant Manager invited me in!
He was incredibly polite and personable while we yapped about retro games. He left a good impression on me--I'd like to visit sometime. 🤗

Most of the pinball machines didn't function correctly (stuck balls, random reboots, etc)

There is not a lot of good games and yes like most places they need work. Service was subpar overall - wish I went to the Beercade

You have to be 21. AI sent me here with my 10 year old. Couldn’t even get in. Looks like fun. 😔
One of the employees a squatty white guy with a belly wasn't very friendly at all.. Just refused to try and be helpful.. He was too busy rushing out to smoke a cigarette

If you’re here for pinball, you’ll be pretty disappointed. Three of the eight machines aren’t working at all, and a few of the ones that are on just have weird hiccups that impact gameplay. A frustrating experience if you’re there for pinball. Has potential if they can maintain more of the machines.
I love playing pinball until my fingers go numb and drinking creative cocktails.

Such a fun place. Tokens required - nothing too pricey. Lots of fun games. Smaller than the Logan location but I prefer it.

Solid spot for a night out in Wicker. Dropped about $30 on drinks and tokens. Had a couple of IPAs and a whiskey neat—good pours. Games like NBA Jam and skee-ball brought back memories. No food, but they let you bring your own. Only gripe: it gets packed on weekends, so snagging a game can be tough. Still, a fun vibe and worth checking out.

Went in there today and instantly the vibe was terrible. From the rude door guy to the regular people staring at you like your a alien from outer space. I knew after 10 minutes in there that I was leaving and never would be back. Kind of a shame too because the games looked cool. Plenty of other beercades or places around where I can spend my money.
