Because some of us hit the road and woul love to find a place where they have old school arcades and beer in the same spot, let's help each other out with a thread for that.


New York

Barcade - The standard for arcade places in NYC. They got two locations: One in Manhattan (where they serve food, too)....

And one in Brooklyn (no food; just games and beer)

    I found a place near my hotel in Montreal called "Arcade MTL". The way it works is there's a 7$ cover at the door, but ALL the games there are set to be FREE. They even got like 10 home entertainment system were you can rent games and play them there: NES, SNES, Genesis, 64, GameCube. ? , that place was dope.

    They're opening one in my city soon. I want a place that takes a set fee on the door and allows you to play as much as you like.

    I don't want to be paying a pound for 2 plays. ? that ? .

    They should open an arcade with a bunch of machines hooked up to a LAN.

    That isnt true, Arcade do exist still but they just in the style of Bar + Arcade like OP said.

    Theres a few in Orlando Florida. My brother live there and every year we plan to go and dont ever get to cause we be doing other ? wit the fam.

    He said all the waitresses be dressed in cosplay and be sexy as ?

    They also got this Artisan mall there that has like the 2nd or 3rd largest comic book store in the world, they got a bar that serves nothin but Sodas and while you sit at the bar you can play games. They also got the arcade style machines in it I think. but yo back to those sodas.. they all are unique flavors... like ? that aint sold in stores. ? I had a Brownie flavored rootbeer soda. That ? was GOAT!!

    Barcade's bartenders are so rude and racially biased that it turned me off from the whole thing. At least at the one in Chelsea anyway.
