    Good selection of beer, some good bar food, and games!

    We went on a Wednesday evening (about 6), and it was pretty busy — no seats, no tables, only a few games open. We were still able to order at the bar, and got our drinks and food pretty quickly (and just carried them around...More

    So that's where the 80's Video Games go!

    Fun But Not As Fun as Others

    I had a good time at the Barcade late on a Thursday night. I had just wrapped up a visit to the ESB and decided to walk over to play a few retro arcade games. I love this... it's always a must-do when I'm traveling...More

    Friday night drinks were a bit different. It’s a pretty cool bar in town with a strong selection of draught beers. The video games are a fun novelty- worth checking out

    Bleh at best

    I have been to other barcades in different states, and this one has been the worse. Costumer service is terrible, and some of the games took your money and didn’t even work.

    Gutted. Don’t forget your ID!

    On our Virgin Atlantic flight over from the UK I watched the New York City guide and Barcade was featured. As a teenager with a misspent youth in the 80’s this looked right up my street. As I went to enter I could see all...More

    Cool bar

    A friend took us here and we had a great time. The beer selection is pretty good and the novelty factor of playing arcade games and drinking was fun. Being British, we didn't recognise a lot of the games and didn't really have arcade culture...More

    Nostalgic Blast, with beer to boot!

    There's something really awesome about stepping back in time to the mid 1980s/early 1990s, right at the height of the arcade craze, but now as an adult getting to enjoy it with like minded gamers...With a side of beer! The Barcade on 24th St is...More

    Lots of beers on top ( specialty beers, not just American pilsners) and of course old school arcade games. Side by side car races, Pac-Man , Ms Pac-Man, my favorite Qbert.
