Very fun place for good drinks and a good time. Alone or not, you can play in the arcade and drink.

The bouncer didn't let me in because I had a small bottle of vodka in my back pack. As I throw the bottle away he told me that I couldn't get in even after I throw the bottle away.

Funny how alcohol has made arcades popular again.

Fantastic bar arcade. They have quite a few arcade games and even a handful of pinball machines. Most were multiplayer. The bar had a lot of options for drinks and even food, with more seating than I expected. You can buy tokens for the games on your tab, but they do charge an extra percentage.

I had an amazing time at Barcade! A friend recommended this place, and it honestly turned into one of my best days in New York. I got to play so many classic games like Pac-Man, Crazy Taxi, Tetris, and a few racing games the selection is fantastic and brought back so much nostalgia. What I loved most is that it’s not just about the games; they also serve great drinks and snacks. I ordered a burger along with a drink called the Jungle Bird, and both were delicious. The food filled me up perfectly, and then I could relax before jumping back into the games. The atmosphere is super fun, with good music and a lively vibe. It’s a perfect spot to hang out with friends, enjoy some drinks, and relive arcade classics. I highly recommend Barcade to anyone in New York whether you’re into retro games, looking for a fun night out, or just want to try something different. Definitely worth the visit!

Great place. Staff grumpy and killed the vibe. Like a surly teenager at an arcade. But with tats, a 20 a day habit, and a too-small beanie cap. Machines good. Food was sub-street food level with more grease and less charm. But it's still a good place I'll come back to.

I discovered this place because a friend celebrated their birthday here and rented out part of the space. Honestly, it’s such a cool spot! The games are super vintage and fun to play, and surprisingly, the food is amazing too. It’s bar food, like burgers and wings, but it’s really tasty. The drinks were great as well, both the cocktails and the mocktails. I had a great time here. It’s definitely a fun place to hang out, and I would absolutely go again!

Bartenders and security were seemingly nice and great guys , but acting manager was very rude , aggressive and had anger issues.

Rudest team ever, especially the “guard”. Wouldn’t come back and worst place in NYC
Security at entrance are very rude and micro managing. It’s a bar not a prison. Other than that the inside is a good experience

They gave me a free soda for leaving a review which was awesome

I LOVE Barcade! The food is great, nachos and chicken sandwich and salad are my go to’s. The music is always perfect- interesting mix, stuff I’ve never heard and stuff I haven’t heard in FOREVER. The games are awesome - Tetris is my jam. Pinball is growing on me and they have an awesome selection. It’s a really big place but always seems welcoming and the bartenders are great- the beer selection is crazy and I never know what they are or how to choose but the bartenders will tell me about the different types and let me try ones that sound good- and they have a full bar and cocktails too. I really like this place and everyone I bring loves it too. Great spot for sure!

The bouncer is extremely rude (the big guy, not the one with dreads). Do not come here. I came here based on recommendation from Hyatt place but I regret it. I’ve asked the concierge at Hyatt place to never recommend this place to any guests.
He asked me to stand to the left. I looked to my right, and he yells at me “what are you looking to the right for? Just do as I tell you” I’ve never had an experience like that in my life with any bouncer. He seriously needs to get fired right away and the owner of this place needs to do serious reconsideration of their security team. This wasn’t even the end of the conversation- he went back and forth with me 5 times asking me if “im good” even though I was trying to de-escalate.
