Barcade

Fun place to go with friends and play some retro cabinet games and other games I'm sure you haven't heard of. The pinball games are awesome. Would like to see more pinball games be added. More games and tables going to the back of the building. Restroom located in the middle(heading towards the back) Clean dining areas. Real Awesome Bartenders! Great beer/liquor/spirits/wine variety. Order at the bar, they'll give you a number and you can just choose a table. Super full when I went but the vibes were great.

This place is the ultimate nostalgia ?? for adults.. they have a huge variety of old school arcade ?? games and pin ball machines .. beer ?? on tap is good just didn't see any domestic not bad and the food we had the honey ??glazed garlic ?? wings and fries. Just ask for extra napkins they're really sticky. I had lots of coins left over so I'll be back. ????????

Good place to play the early 90s arcade game and a refreshing beer! Food isn't bad at all. The chicken strips crunchy to the bite along with some delicious fries. The only problem, it seems some of the arcade machines tend to swallow tokens. And not playable. After a few lost tokens, the game might work! Choose your game wisely.

So many games . You have to try it out. Food and drinks with plenty of games to try out . Great service . Mathew is a great bar tender you're in for a treat. update new food options and merchandise available new pictures uploading . Great Milhaud and service .

Updated pictures of all games in my review! ALL GAMES are in pics. I loved it here! Games are cheap drinks that are fairly priced. I didn't try the food. My favorite games are metal slug and Marvel vs. Capcom. I'd definitely recommend this place.

I absolutely love this place, super fun. Games are inexpensive. As are the drinks. I've only eaten here once but I really liked the chicken sandwich and fries. Lots of pinball machines. Old school pac man, mortal kombat, even an Alien. Definitely recommend coming here.

Have come here a few times with my family. What a great place all around. It's clean, affordable and fun! Staff is friendly and the food and drinks are surprisingly good for bar food. I love coming here the 1st Sunday of every month with my family because I get to share moments from my childhood playing old school arcade games with them. It's nostalgic, and my kids love it too. What a terrific place!

Pulled over for a quick pint. Awesome space! Good service. Super clean! The food menu is all we need at a bar. I didn't eat anything, but the man sitting next to me was loving his chicken sandwich. Back soon for another pint and try the sliders. Happy Thursyay!

Sweet spot, may wait for a drink. Games vary from $0.25 - $. Happy hours where it's at

ZERO!!!!!!! Never had I experienced this before until this place. I had always loved this place but me and my friends got turned away for asking for a drink the bartenders said no? yet we saw two other bartenders take a shot of liquor and laugh and serve other parties and told us were drunk? while my friends and I just watch while they serve their friends?. The cherry on top? my friends got charge $100 for three drinks? the other table got charge for $40?? they choose who they want? do better? so disresp

Great place with plenty of different arcade games. The specialty mocktails are pretty good. The tater tots were amazing but the chicken tenders needed a little more flavor. Great place to spend time with friends though!

I LOVE this place! They have an excellent menu with plenty of drink options, extensive beer selection, vegetarian options, and the staff are great! The best video game selection of any location - The Simpsons, Terminator 2, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to name a few Makes for a great date night, something different and reawakens that indoor kid in all of us!

Kt was freaking dope. The drinks are good wish they had my fav but whatever ?? good place ro spend a couple of hours for game enthusiasts. And obviously a nice spot to hang with friends.

Meh. Came here with my wife at 5 PM to eat, drink, and play. No server ever came to our table, so after waiting a while, I went to the bar to order. The bartender ignored me?apparently too busy to even acknowledge I was there. So we waited some more, but still nothing. We ended up leaving very disappointed. Also, the prices are ridiculous?$15 for a burger and another $15 for drinks? No thanks. And good luck finding parking. Honestly, just spend your money somewhere else, like at Dave & Buster's.

So fun and nostalgic for a Xennial (80s Baby) like myself. Tons of games, great bar, and tastey food. Convenient hours also...

As a long-time arcade fan , I was so excited to visit Barcade and play some games I've never played before. Extra points for the delicious food and friendly staff.

Huge selection of arcade and pinball. Getting a drink was easy and fast. Staff are all really nice. Food was good. Veggie burger wasn't the greatest though. But they do have several vegan options which is good. Machines are fairly priced. Many are only one token. Good mix of classics and 90's games. And some rare cabinets too. All of the controls on games I played worked. Really fun time. Highly recommend checking it out.

I go here all the time and they have super friendly staff! It's not just a bar with an arcade. It's a place to go for nostalgia, friends, and lots of fun!

A group of friends and I came here for New Years Eve after reading overwhelmingly positive reviews of the establishment. Upon entering, you're immediately captivated by the dozens of retro arcade games, bright/vibrant colors, and relaxed vibes! The food was reasonably priced and exceptionally good, especially the fries! So tasty! Barcade offers countless arcade games to keep you busy for awhile while not breaking the bank at all. Our group used about $10 and it lasted for quite a while as the games are pre

Cool place if you like vintage video games and beer

I mainly go for the games so I can't say much about the drinks. They have a lot of good games like Marvel vs Capcom 2, NBA Jam, 4-player PAC-Man and Puzzle Bobble. Most games are ?50 so $5 for a single person goes a long way. Nice place to kill an hour or two with friends. I recommend this place to anyone who even remotely likes video games.

We stayed for about 3 hours yesterday! So fun! Great beer selection! Awesome variety of games! Yummy food! Friendly staff!! I can tell we will be regulars here ????

Kicked out four dudes who could have flat out bought their entire garbage establishment for talking loud and doing things friends do at a video game themed bar. Big L for this place and they don't even have a clue they did any wrong. Absolute joke of an establishment.

The vegan food was gross. (You can try a bit harder can't you?) Vegans don't eat cardboard or slop. And the Tetris joystick doesn't work. Meh?.

Went here with some family , was a really cool place to go . First time goer of course . Only negative thing I'd say is that the games took our quarters and wouldn't work . Yet when someone else did it would work . So.. we lost some fun . But, the pinball machines made up for it . Food definitely was good. Staff there were friendly and chill. Definitely will come back for more.

Great place .. really good food ? came with a couple friends and tables were really good in the back. Service is really good. Very friendly environment nothing crazy.

Great variety of craft beers that are both interesting and tasty. Cocktail menu is a little tight but the drinks are cute and well-made. Mocktails are overpriced but the cold brew old fashioned was delicious. Spicy lemonade is deceptively simple, very tasty. Garlic parm fries were parmy but not garlicky. Overall, the drinks are considerably better than the food. As for the games, the selection is good, and the staff are very responsive if there's an issue with one of the cabinets. Crazy Taxi is incredibly

It was mine and my boyfriends first time here and definitely our last. There was a girl bartender that wasn't attentive and helped out these other customers before even acknowledging us. The drinks sucked they were either too sour or way too strong like rubbing alcohol. The bathroom was gross and dark and no toilet seat covers like ew. The workers there didn't seem friendly at all besides one who was attentive to us. Overall I wouldn't recommend it to anybody unless you want crappy service and nasty drinks.

It's a cool place with good drinks and fun games. I've been to similar bars where the games are free -- these are about 25-75 cents each depending on what the game is.

Vintage games! I was in Heaven playing Metal Slug and NBA JAM. Beer selection was good, good vibes too.

Was fun checking this place out when meeting a new friend. May visit again for drinking purposes. :3

Cool spot with their own parking lot. I really like that they have "Time Crisis 3" here. I also like how they had a modern Pac-Man game where you can play with up to four players and compete against each other. Every other arcade I've been to I've been trying to find this, but haven't been able to. They have a pretty solid food and drink menu as well.

Cool bar! They have mvc2 cabinet, which I like, but I don't like is the buttons.. it's unresponsive and low quality. Also while playing Street Fighter the movie, the game glitches and reset itself for no reason. That's sucks I would come back again if they fix it.

Had a work event here and the food was pretty good! The games were fun, it was a cool time :)

Very recommended! It has really retro games that you cannot find anywhere else. I've been to several barcades, and this is by far the best. They also have a nice little vendor area in the patio. Ofc the drinks are a little pricey but it's so worth it. Get food too, the food here is amazeballs delicious!

It's a cute little arcade in highland Park. They have a lot of your favorite retro games here. It's a good place to come and chill. Preeti popular amongst the college crowd from Occidental

This is the best bar arcade I've ever been to, and that's coming from someone who isn't really into traditional arcades. The venue is so perfectly designed, split into two distinct halves that flow into each other, unlike a huge open layout that can feel like a maze. The staff are all super friendly and good at their jobs. The prices for games were reasonable. The selection of games were also really good! My friends and I were ADDICTED to Rampart and Quick Draw. And lastly the drinks and the fries were del

Awesome atmosphere, great bar, lots of pinball and classic arcade machines to play with. Our friend group did a bar crawl and spent most of your evening here! Designated Drivers/ DD's get a free soda! Just make sure your friend is there to advocate for you!

Always fun here! Great drinks! Good prices! Good food.

Very fun place and atmosphere. Definitely will be returning!

Was here for a birthday party. Crowded but manageable. Food was good. I didn't drink but I heard the pour was a little light. And I know it's not the fault of the bar but parking was kind of inconvenient. It took a few laps around the block before we found a spot.

So much fun! They have good bar food and drinks. Then playing all the old school arcade games I played as a kid. It's so much fun. It was a little busy on Saturday night but lots of fun

I go to Barcades in many cities but this is the best so far. My new favorite! Great food and a great selection for all beverages. Friendly service!

Chill vibes. Great games. They have this amazing pumpkin ?? Cider right now ?? ?? 10/10 spooky season

Kicked out Max and Chad after they had 2 shots and got a bit loud playing games with eachother...

Games are okay, some unique choices but none of them extremely spectacular. No 3rd Strike, but some classics and okay pinball choices. Worst nachos I have ever had though, somehow completely unmelted but burned on the edges. Kinda low to mid place compared to other barcade style places I've been to.

They have a lot of cool arcade games

Food is good, service is pretty slow which is understandable for a Friday night. interesting selection of brews. Worth a visit.

Great selection of games and beers on tap. The food is what you'd expect for bar food but that's alright. Live that they have a kids day too!

The experience was great! They have over 15+ type of old school arcade games and the place was very clean with a Rustic atmosphere and look. The food service was really slow though considering that we were customer number 4. I'm not sure how the food was since I didn't have any.

In the heart of Highland Park lies Barcade, a haven for grown-up gamers seeking nostalgia and libations. Amidst the glow of arcade screens, patrons sip expertly crafted cocktails and rediscover their inner child. With a curated selection of vintage games and a lively atmosphere, it's a playground for the discerning adult adventurer.

Lives up to the name for sure! A wide variety of drinks and appetizers were solid. More classic arcade games than modern. They use the classic coin system so it's easy to get lots of games in for cheap. Some places with the reloaded cards seem like a ripoff to me!

Games aren't over priced at all most games cost 50 cents to play. Beers are also decently priced average 8 bucks. Currently they have a Firestone Walker Double for 14 bucks but it's definitely a bang for ur buck. It's a strong American ale that taste very similar to a jack and coke

This place is awesome, great selection of drinks and arcade games mostly from the 90s and some rare ones I've never seen before. All machines are 1 or 2 tokens just like the old days. Great atmosphere and some of the best chicken tendies I've ever ordered. Only complaint was some of the machines where set to max difficulty and low timer and the MvC2 cab seems to have broken sticks.

I arrived with two friends after lunch. Probably spent $40 on game tokens and was having a great time. After three beers each, we got cut off (!!!???) We caused no problem in an almost empty arcade. Not even buzzed (who would be?!). We didn't order food because we ate just before getting there. If you go here, you apparently HAVE to order their food or get cut off after three drinks.

Food didn't wow me. We did order around 5 different food items. The tater tots were good though. The beer was not flat but could have been more bubbly. The games there were fun but a machine did eat one of my quarters. This place seems like a good place to hang out with friends to have fun. I would eat in advance if I came back again. It is hard to find retro games locally.

Overall, this bar hits the mark for its concept. Lots of games to play: mostly old school arcade games and pinball machines. Some real classics you can't find at other arcades?they've kept the originals around that the other places replaced. The games are also cheap to play: most are 1?2 tokens, 1 token = $0.25. Cash only for tokens so bring some bills to exchange at the machines. The bar is friendly and fast. Drink prices are standard. Definitely a fun night out with friends who enjoy classic arcade games.

Cool spot. Only older arcade games and pin ball. You have to use tokens. $5 goes a long way here. Most games are 50 cents= 2 tokens. Weird music was playing the whole night. It was like electro or indie , super weird and not getting the people vibin. They serve food. Only like 8 spots in the parking lot and very limited street parking. Also, security scan your ID before you enter, and the machine they use keeps all your personal info. All the bars and clubs I've been to don't use that machine to check your

They kicked my 4 buddies after one drink and a stupid fight for donkey kong

Extremely fun, chill place, it's more mellow in the day time, weekend evenings is filled with couples on dates, gets too crowded. Drinks and food are great.

The Barcade is a great place to spend an evening with friends to play Hames and have a few drinks. It is NOT a place for arcade game enthusiasts, sadly. They have a pretty good selection of classic games with some gems like the big 6-player xmen game, for example. But, the barcade lacks important games that could make it a truly great arcade. Most of the games seemed to be in good working order, a rarity for many arcades historically. Pinballers should give it a look.

Friendly staff. Offers the best vegan bar food options.

Allison was amazing! I came on my birthday for the first time and she explained the rundown of how everything operates and gave us the best customer service. I will be back just because of her! It's rare to find great customer service at busy bars

Amazing selection of draft beers, only beat by their extraordinary selection of classic arcade games. My friends and I love coming here. Perfect for a drink with the boys, or an out of the box first date. Staff is always fantastic, and I'll keep coming back time and time again. Thanks Barcade! I LOVE YOU

Kicked my homies out after 1 shot. not cool

The games are so fun! Almost all of the bartenders are fantastic and friendly. One of them didn't even know how to make a good cocktail honestly. I do wish they had copper cups as well and sustainable straws would be a nice touch! The food was sooo yummy. Chipotle Ranch is insane with the fries and tots. Unfortunately they don't take contactless payments either :/. Loved the vibes tho! Had fun with my friends.

Kicking out the champions of drinking after one drink is a crazy move. I have snaids.

40 year old walks into bar for friends birthday but forgets ID. Has photo. No exceptions. No help. Otherwise chill bar i guess. Walt?s better and better people / vibe.

Lots of fun and delicious pub grub! The vegan mushroom melt was deadly good. I'll be back for that alone. Was bummed out some of the games were busted but that's nothing new with a bar-arcade. Also, they have an original, standing style, Tapper game I fell in love with. Wish I could get just that one for my place.

Fun arcade, great beer selection, and surprisingly tasty food! The arcade games all seemed to be working, and lost of options, spaces to set your beer, and lots of tables around too. The menu of local/micro brews is spot on, having enough choices besides IPA. I only tried the nachos, with chicken, and the grilled chicken. Surprised me with its tastiness. All around, highly recommend!

The barcade is a really cool place I give it 3rd place on my top arcade bars 1st being mini boss in sj and 2nd being coin op in sc only because while they did have a lot of game options some games could use some TLC and some unique drinks would be cool. Other than that it's clean and the staff is cool . Would definitely go back.

I'm just glad a place like this exists. They are super busy at noon on Sunday (family day), but it calmed down after an hour or 2. Lots of beer on tap choices. The food is average bar food. But 50 cent pinball and a beer is totally worth going! Also, the busy bartenders were nice.

Great brew selection, super nice staff, good variety of games in a large space. Appreciate that they have tables and spaces to mingle when not playing games -- caught up with friends here and hours flew by! Definitely recommend.

What a fun spot! The inside is huge and they have tons of awesome vintage arcade games and some new ones too. Really reasonable drink specials and plenty of parking and seating. We will definitely be back soon!

Kicked out my 4 gay best friends for drinking...in a bar....

Went in here with some friends, we ordered food and drinks and we ate some of the food and played a few games. The staff came by and took our food while we were still eating not knowing to clear off the table. I asked about it and they took care of us and got us more food. Mistakes happen everywhere you go but the customer service here is incredible. They have some great selections on draft beer and let you try it before you purchase it. I had a great night hanging out playing the classics and listening to

Awesome place for pinball with one of the largest selections in the area. All solid state and DMDs with a couple newer LCD machines. Everything is in great condition, couldn't spot a single flaw. The last couple of times I was in I saw staff cleaning and waxing the playfields, so you know they really care. Great selection of arcade machines and I noticed they swapped in a few new games in the last few months. Love to see it.

This place is amazing. They've got an extensive amount of games from the classics to some more modern style games. And there's everything for solo players and for up to 4 people so you can absolutely come with a group of friends. Don't bring your own quarters; their games only accept their own coins (valued at 25?) which you can get from a cash exchange machine, with an ATM available next to it. Arcade prices are fair, using up to 3 tokens for pinball. Plenty of time to kill in here and their bar and food l

We just visited for the first time and plan to return soon since we'd like to try the food (it smelled amazing, but we'd just eaten a big dinner elsewhere). While they don't have the more modern, newer tech games you'd see at a D&B, that's not really a loss since they have way more pinball and retro arcade games (and let's face it, there's way more charm to these older games). It was nostalgia heaven for my husband and me - they have so many games I haven't played (or seen anywhere!) since childhood, so we

Came for the pinball and was not disappointed. Great selection of pins from a variety of manufacturers (Even Jersey Jack and Spooky!). The games are a little more than most places in LA (Usually 3 Tokens which is equal to $0.75), but as I played all the machines it dawned on me that it's kind of worth it. The machines are really well maintained and clean. I didn't run into any sticky buttons, flippers, or any non-functioning mechanics. The people there care about your playing experience and it shows. Even t

It was a fun place. A lot of great games and some classics and unique international selections, but they missed on their selection of shoot-em-ups (which to me is classic arcade fun!). Walk spaces get kind of narrow, so bumped beers was common. Lots of beer variety from all over and the fries were great, so based on that I'd guess the overall food is good, too, but we didn't eat. I thought it was one of the "cover-charged-entrance-and-play-for-free", but it was actually kinda fun to play with tokens. The ga

Raul the new security agent provided amazing customer service. I was highly impressed on how he treated my colleagues and I. As a new law student graduate; I was very impressed on how knowledgeable he was about law in general. He is definitely not your typical security?thanks again Raul and see you soon again!

So four stars for game selection. One star off because the food is just awful. That being said I would prefer the atmosphere of this place to any of those places you go to at the mall. Staff is really nice and if the games mess up and eat your tokens just ask them for assistance.

I haven't had this much fun playing a game in years. It was amazing and a great social experience. The rest of the place seemed pretty awesome as well, plenty of variety in arcade Barcade games for you to play. I don't drink, but they did seem to have a decent lineup of drinks for those that do. They also actually had a really good lineup of non-alcoholic drinks as well. Barcade

Pretty cool! Most games were 50 cents! Had lots of fun!

An amazing oasis for craft beer and retro arcade games. As a Yorkshire man on holiday BEST BAR IN CALIFORNIA!

First time here. Tyler was wonderful. Well drinks have a good pour, nice selection of beers. Fun games, not crowded on an early Saturday, during Happy Hour. The only thing I would change, I would like to hear a larger selection of music. As a person of a certain age I would like to listen to a few songs I know.

Okay so this place is so amazing we've been there a couple times this week. Definitely worth the 40 plus min drive. They have a ton of original games strong drinks lots of sitting areas the vibes and peeps there are fabulously on point with kinda vibes to make it as if you are all included in the cool crowd club us arcade nerds never were part of. We walked up our second time and the door bouncer had remembered us and that in itself is f**ing super sweet. We've been to other bar/arcades but this one is trul
