Love the Beercade! If you like arcade games and alcohol, then check it out! Even if you don't drink, buy the cheapest beer, don't drink it, and play unlimited games. Not too hard of a concept. They have a good mix of games. Because the games were unlimited play, I tried a lot of different games I'd never played before. Found some new favorites.
The space in the business was used well I believe. I can imagine it gets crowded at times but we were there on a Friday around 9:30 and had no problem moving around.
They serve pizzas and the 8-Bit Pale Ale is very good. They also boast a massive selection of drinks along with the 30-40 vintage arcade machines they've built their business around. Games are free with purchase of a 1 drink minimum. Would have liked to see a pinball machine or two but still a very wide variety.
neat little bar with a bunch of arcade games. beer is well priced. missing pinball and ski ball though
Hey, listen! If you like arcade games and booze, look no further. With a large selection of REAL arcade games (no mobile game madness here) and a beer list to match it makes me feel like a kid again. The games are on freeplay and a $10 purchase will get you unlimited fun. There were a few games were on the fritz but there was more than enough 8-bit love to go around. Go and get you some!
Like a few other reviews have said I was immediately and in my opinion rudely asked for my I.D within a second of entering the door. Not sure if it was the same person, but it was a female. I didn't see a huge selection of beers on the menu and the prices were slightly on the expensive side. As for the games I didn't find very many familiar or fun ones and a handful of them weren't working. I wouldn't say I had an awful time, but at the same time I wasn't exactly impressed either.
