With Sly Fox, Victory, Dogfish and Captain Lawrence on tap, vintage video games like Rampage, Donkey Kong, Ms. Pacman, and Asteroids, and a low-key atmosphere, Barcade is a good place for a quiet date on a weekday or a raucous time with friends on a Saturday night.

Great on weekdays. While any bar with a vintage arcade is great by most, the crowd on weekends is overwhelming to patrons as well as staff, who are slow and surly. Especially in the crowds.

Barcade Rocks!. What a great idea for a bar!!! 24 draft lines, 23 of which are dedicated to American Craft Beer!!! Full Liquor selection, including offerings from several microbrewerys. The real kicker comes in the decor...

There are about 25 VINTAGE ARCADE GAMES in the bar - everything from FROGGER to ARKANOID, MARIO BROS. and RAMPAGE, to name just a few!!!

On the weekend, it definitely gets packed, and lines can be 3 deep at some games. Definitely quieter Mon-Thurs, if you are looking to spend some time reconnecting with your youth on a more intimate level. Its always a great time at the Barcade, whatever the night! :-)
