This place has great prohibition style cocktails. They were a little pricey though. The next time we visited we ordered beer to save money but it appeared they had lowered their cocktail prices!

This would be a great bar if it ever actually opened. We have been by several times (late afternoon, early evening, night, ) they are never open!

Stopped in to check this place out because I like to drink and I like to play pinball. I wish I would have taken a picture of what that place looks like now because they have 2 actual pinball games, one bowling type game, a weird "boomerang" air hockey table, a non working golden tea machine, and 3 old school games (pacman etc.) Not only was the place a dump with very few machines the person behind the bar was very rude, she asked my brother what we wanted and he said we were contemplating and her response was "well contemplated harder" after that it was an easy decision to go pretty much anywhere else. Wish I could give 0 stars.

When first entering The Craftcade, the aroma of barn hay wafting into your nostrils gave this place an earthly feel. However there was no hay to be found. The lighting was simple, but gave it an outdoor feel. Interesting use of suspended pallets, too. We enjoyed a very tasty Draft IPA. Played all of the pinball machines that were operational. However my favorite, Ripley's Believe it or Not ...along with several others, were turned off.

Every time I come here I receive excellent customer service and the drinks are super affordable but also pretty decently strong. The owner is a lovely woman and I 100% will return again because this place is truly special with its down to earth energy and relaxed environment. Truly this is a special place. Order the Pac or the Pinky Tuscadero (pretty sure I spelled that wrong but its great) .

This is my favorite bar, good games, good atmosphere, and really good cocktails. If you want to bar that's not super loud and has very friendly people check out Craftcade. Five out of five

Most of the games do not work. There are very few tables that have all been pushed together to form one giant table, that is being used for a birthday party. So no other guests can sit. This place is terrible..

This bar is fun and is a flashback to my teen years in the 80's. The video games of that era. The only game missing that would add a star for me was Galaga. I love the diversity in the bar as well. I don't live near Craftcade. But it is a wonderful place to meet a friend to hang out. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back.
The ONLY reason I am giving the two stars at all is because I like Calvin and Jenny so much. I also like the newly added Boom - A - Rang. Having said that, I will never go back. I went for the soft opening along with a few other times, and it was great! Lots of fun pinball machines, and it is close to our house. During the openings, some of the machines were "iffy," but as soon as I mentioned one wasn't working or had taken a token, it was looked at immediately and my tokens were replaced, no questions asked. Very good concept! This brings me to last night. Perhaps twenty people were in there. We ordered two beers and started to play. I played a few games, then I got to Roller Coaster Tycoon. It ate two of my tokens. No biggie, I told the bartender and he told me "okay, I'll be right there," smiled and waved/shooed me away. For about ten minutes, I waited for him to replace TWO tokens. He chatted up everyone at the bar, made several drinks, started new tabs and I finished my beer. He had not even looked at me by this point. The bartender never even looked in my direction or helped me OR replaced the two tokens that got eaten. That would have taken two seconds. The attitude, inattentiveness and in all honesty, just plain rudeness of the bartender is unacceptable. With Free Play Arcade and Cidercade available, even though they are farther, I will be giving them my money. Not Craftcade ever again.

I might have visited during a bad time but honestly the drinks weren't great. Overly sweet with no taste of alcohol, from my understand this is a bar but not meeting up to the expectations. I was saddened by my visit here. I was expecting much more. Skittles drink was thick and the other simply tasted like a sangria. Needs improvement. The two stars are for the available games.

THIS is why Ft Worth kicks Dallas' a*** Walked in on a Saturday at opening time and there was a private party. No worries...owners were very accommodating and let us mix in with the party. Bad a** bartender made us 'Singapore Slings', played pinball and got to meet some new friends. Great afternoon into the evening. GO to this joint!

Pretty cool place to hang out, have a drink or cocktail and play pinball games. The only downer would be that the pinball games are 50 cents compared to a quarter.

This is a great spot. Reasonably priced drinks. The pinball selection is also fantastic. My only gripe is that some of them need some repairs. When pointed out to the staff they were always quick to react and make sure you get a go on another machine.
