As an elder millennial, this concept seems so simple it is hard to believe it wasn’t thought of sooner. Old school arcade games and beers. Absolutely brilliant. So many great arcade cabinets from back in the day. You’ll have quite the nostalgia factor here. Very solid drinks menu too with a wide selection of beers and cocktails. Plenty of seating too if you want to socialize without playing.

Stopped here for a few beers with friends. Very eclectic bar and great choice if beers on tap. Was really fun to play the arcade games I grew up with as a kid. We did not order any food, so I am unable to taste or comment.

I got the quesadilla and it didn’t come with salsa and sour cream! It’s extra but I had to ask! And the food was super salty. Not impressed

Such a cool barcade located inside a historic old industrial space in Fishtown! They really embraced the vibe here & went with it! Not the largest barcade we’ve been too however they have a nice curated selection of vintage games & famous classics. Just need a 21+ ID to enter & you can change your cash bills into tickets. Games cost 2 tokens per which is 50 cents. We came on a Sunday night & it wasn’t packed. Just a Very chill & cool vibe. Everyone was just enjoying drinks while playing games. Nice bar selection of drafts & cocktails. Didn’t try the food. We spent about 2 hours enjoying ourselves.

great retro arcade games, and pin ball. very nostalgic. but eat before or after you go. the food is not got at all, they dont even have a fryer for apps or fries. they have a lot of beer and cider selections, but the cocktails are not good either. would return for the games, but no food or refreshments.

It's a great place to go and play arcade games from the 80's & 90's. And it has a bar, with specials posted on the board. They also keep a high score of all time record on a board. They have a lot of arcade games even pinball machines. I would definitely go back.

Disappointing compared to the one in city center. Not even half the size and seems more focused on pinballs than anything else. I don't even remember seeing Marvel vs Capcom(any version) and the Star wars controls needed some TLC. They also seemed more expensive, everything was 3 tokens, which again wasn't the case downtown on my last visit. As such I didn't spend much time or money here. Serving hazy hearted gets you 3 stars, but otherwise a let down.
