Had a fantastic first-time experience at this location. I brought my dad here to celebrate his birthday and he loved it. Classic games and pinball machines that he grew up on, as well as games I loved as a kid. $20 in tokens nearly gets you at least 1-2 plays (or more) on everything they have. The bartender (dude with the long hair)is super nice and accommodating. Overall great time! Highly RECOMMENDED!!

If you were a kid in the 80s you know this place is the sh1t. An incredible collection of classic functional arcade games. Berserk Defender Crazy Taxi ...And booze. Yay!

I love Barcade, and it's a good spot to have a little fun on a late night. Service is pretty decent... they will definitely make sure you got a good drink. The bartender may have a heavy hand so, if you're a little weight 1-2 drinks are good while you play some vintage arcade games. I love this place after a good dinner or a night of dancing. It's a chill spot. Good people.

Fun games but awful service. A bartender came out from the back room and stood in front of where we were sitting, as we waiting for our order to be taken and ignored us to start cutting limes. She did not acknowledge us in any way and it didn't help that she was blocking the other bartender's view of the bar section we were at for the other bartenders to help us.

So fun and the bartenders were so nice and great! We loved Joe and Garrett!!The blonde bar back was pretty mean and dismissive to us, I think she misheard what I said but it did not warrant her rude response. I hope she has a better night and learns to not take her anger out on others. If you avoid her the bar is AMAZING!! ?
One of my all time favorite places in NYC. Love the atmosphere, people who work here, and drinks are pretty dang good!

If you love video games and are over 21 this is the spot. You must have a valid ID, they do not accept NYCID I’ve tried. Perfect place for a first date or group of friends as they have plenty of games to play. If you want to get to play till you’re bored weekdays and Sunday nights it’s your best bet as Saturday is packed with people.

Everytime I come here the vibes are immaculate but the bartenders are always weird about things that don't have to do with alcohol like can you fill up my empty hydroflask with water instead of giving me a glass of water or can I have just coffee without ice and not be directed to a cafe across the

I live in Hoboken and am geographically much closer to the Jersey City Location. The two times I've been there the music has been insanely loud, to the point where you cant even concentrate on the games. It totally defeats the point.The majority of your loyal clientele are likely Neurodivergent. To be blasting the music to that extent, is just a slap in the face to the people who support you the most.However, my friend and I recently went to the Brooklyn location and were so thankful the music was at an appropriate level !! The staff was also so nice and approachable. Definitely a more accessible and fun experience.This is the best location. One of the best bars in NYC !! Would be EVEN BETTER if you had seltzer <3 <3
