We had a lot of fun hosting my work holiday party here. The only downside was the food setup—random people kept taking food—and although I paid extra for the soda package, every soda I tried tasted flat. That said, the food itself was good and the staff was very nice. The games were amazing and a ton of fun; they really brought me back to my younger days.

Fun hidden gem! Went in a Sunday night & wasn’t crowded at first but got busier. Lots of cool older games from the 80s & 90s & a few newer ones

This bar was mentioned in our guide book as a place to visit and as a happy coincidence it was next to the second hotel we stayed in on our NYC trip. The bar is full of retro games machines. You play with tokens which you can get from a machine for cash (ATM on site). Huge range of craft beers and ciders from the east coast. The barman was friendly, made jokes about my being British and explaining the lagers first, and knew his beers. There was a great range of sour beers, IPAs Pilsners and ciders. There’s a good buzz about the place even though it wasn’t busy when visited (Monday afternoon!). We didn’t eat but the food looked good. Worth a visit for something a little different. Definitely if you like arcade games and pinball. Was a great recommendation.

I was very happy to visit for the first time yesterday. I didnt try any of the food here, so I have not rated it. I did see some burgers roll past that looked pretty good though... The music was a perfect mix of rock, metal and alternative. The bar is a large space and the sound system has that club feel. I was then very happy the games I played volumes were clearly loud enough to enjoy whilst still enjoying the music. I visited early in the afternoon so it was still relatively quiet, but all the patrons there were having a good time. Some enjoying a beer, some playing with their partners or group of friends. The bar stays open until 2am most nights and 4am on Friday and Saturday. Black Knight 2000 jammed the first time I tried it. I mentioned it to a nearby manager later. He immediately repaired the machine and returned my tokens to then enjoy the game a good few times after. I also saw Pulp Fiction have a playfield clean during my visit. Playing that machine was the highlight of my visit. I highly recommend Barcade, especially for pinball nuts like myself! I'll be going back later and this time enjoy a few beers with my games.

We had a outstanding time here, chatting with the bartenders and trying different types of beers good times. After having a few beers we went to play arcades mostly the driving games hahaha so much fun. Definitely recommended a visit if you never experienced it before!!
