Old North Arcade Bar & Kitchen

Disappointed. Went here with high expectations and was disappointed. As we have been to the Columbus location before and thought this would be similar. Alot of the machines were out of order. Their coin machine was out of service and their "munchies" were limited to 4 items because they were out of the rest. For a Saturday I would have thought they would be better prepared.

This place was awesome! I went here with some friends for the first time the other day and it was amazing. The drinks were all delicious, and you can even a roll a die to see what shot you'll get, which was really fun! The bartenders were all super friendly too, I'll definitely come here again :]

(EDIT) I returned to the bar last night 2/8 with a friend for Taylor Swift night and ended up having a grand time. I believe that the current owner truly does care about this business's future in Huntington as he had a suggestion bowl for people to freely express how they feel in exchange for a Friendship bracelet. The current bar staff we're very kind and the mocktails [ I couldn't drink alcohol this time :( ] tasted great! I really believe that music events can bring more and more people in as Huntington is severely lacking in music events/live music which I know they've done in the past! Looking forward to the next event where I can actually drink alcohol this time!

They no longer serve the pizza as of Halloween 2024.

The drinks and the bar itself will always be the star of the show here. They’re fun and inventive with a great selection of beer on tap. The staff has always been great each and every time I’ve been here.

However, the food menu is limited and unexciting. The worst part of it is its execution and presentation. What could be decent deal on a Thursday Dollar Wing night is really just sopping moist wings destined for the trash. For a place that sits directly across from a wing restaurant, this issue should be addressed. If fried food is all that will be served then it should be done correctly. To be transparent as the breading on these wings, I did not present them to the bartenders in hopes of maybe replacing them. I place the blame on the cook. Food that looks like this tells you it sucks. I didn’t need to try it. You can taste the disappointment in the pictures.

The food yesterday was abysmal. It’s served over a sheet of aluminum foil inside of a takeout box. The wings become steamed and look pale with next to zero browning. The mozzarella cheese sticks were soft and grainy with minimal crispiness. The marinara is akin to tomato paste but was the only thing that made even the one cheese stick I did eat palatable. Around 15-20 dollars for food isn’t terrible usually but when you can see that it sucks before trying it, the best value in dollar wing night is making sure you only order the bare minimum. Usually wings are crispier when not tossed in sauce. This was not the case.

Overall, so long as you’re not eating, I can definitely recommend this establishment and I hope it continues to be a staple in Pullman. However, it could easily become a favorite in Huntington if the food wasn’t trash. Bowling alleys and dive bars have been turning cheap food into culinary masterpieces for decades. I don’t see why this can’t ring true here.

I stopped by on a Saturday and was impressed with what this place had to offer. If you like arcades and alcohol then come inside!

The pinball selection was very good. The new Jaws table is available to play. Many modern Stern tables are also available to play. Pinball tables are set to a dollar a play, or three plays for two dollars. Pinball is not set to free play regardless of purchase, but it is definitely worth checking out regardless. I would like to see Jersey Jack and Spooky tables available at some point to play.

Retro games and console games are set to free play with purchase. This is a great way to play classic video games and being able to enjoy a great beverage of your choice.

Everyone around me seemed to be having a great time. Patrons were behaving, and safety should not be a concern. Please keep in mind that children are not allowed after a certain time. Children are allowed inside earlier in the day.

The overall decor made coming here a great experience. You can also check out local event posters that are posted on the wall.

If you are in Downtown Huntington and like pinball, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, retro and console games, then make sure to stop by and have a great time!

I never have a bad night here. I’ve tried. Trust me. But it’s impossible. Bartenders are so great and helpful every time that I’m pretty sure I could ask them to do my laundry while I’m playing pinball and they would bring it back pressed and folded. (I may try this after a couple Yoshi’s Island’s next time and will let you know how it goes.) Shoutout to Saturday 10-19’s staff for the great service, specifically the lighter they loaned to us. You’re my rock.

Absolutely loved the games food wasn't that great but games and drinks are awsome

Fun place. Bartenders are nice. But overall found it to be dirty. Especially the bathrooms. Mold at the water ring in the toilet, floors didn't appear to have been mopped, sinks were covered with paper towels, water, and dried soap and it smelled horrible. Men said the men's bathroom was worse. Someone had used the urinal for more than urine 💩 I think they need to work on cleanliness. If the bathrooms haven't been maintained, I don't know that I trust their glasses at the bar have cleaned.

I stopped in because I wanted to play some pinball and I was not disappointed. They have a nice variety of pinball machines and arcade cabinets. Seems like most of the classic cabinets are on freeplay which is nice. Pinball is $1 for three balls which is the going rate. I ordered a cocktail, the Yoshi's Island and it was a delicious fruity take on a long island iced tea. I've been here before and I will come back again.

I just wanted to play some games but you have to order stuff from the bar. I'm not a drinker. I wish they had an option to just play some games with quarters. It was a Saturday night and the place was dead empty, so I'm not really sure how the policy nets them much profits.

Fun for all. I like the trivia Tuesdays.
