Super great experience from the moment we walked in. Bouncer was super cool. Music was perfect, drinks on point and all the fun nostalgic games! We will definitely be back.

I’m so glad I found this place! Great selection of retro arcade games (especially the pinball), fun people, incredibly friendly staff, good food and drinks, everything!! My only note for improvement is the loud music. I have to SCREAM at the person next to me just to even try and hear them (PLEASE LOWER THE VOLUME). Other than that, definitely one of my go to spots for fun.

What a fun place. My wife and I (gen X…) arrived and we were carded at the door. We had a laugh with the guy, since we’re a couple grey haired 50 year-olds getting ID’d. We had a beer from an awesome selection. There are token machines to get your bills into tokens, and then we played video games. Galaga, Donkey Kong, PAC Man and others. We had a blast. Chill vibe, great staff, and the best video games. Highly recommend!

Barcade is always a great time. Great selection of games. They have Crazy Taxi there which I'm not gonna lie, almost made me cry because I grew up on that game. The pinball machines are great, I wish they didn't cost 3 tokens though. They have ATMs there to pull out cash to exchange into tokens. The drinks are great and reasonably priced. Great place to hang out and play some games

This place brings me back to my childhood. It has an awesome 80s vibe complete with old school arcades such as Mortal Kombat, Pac-man and Centipede, etc. The pinball games were super cool. It's an awesome place to catch up with friends if you want to have some drinks and some fun. Keep in mind that this bar doesn't serve food, but does have small snacks in a bag you can purchase at the bar. Their drinks kicks a punch though with a friendly bartender. Definitely will return to this place for more vintage fun!!! who says old school can't be trendy!!!!???🙃😜

This bar takes you back to the 80s-90s. Not sure how long they would survive as the new generation don't really appreciate the arcades. But I would do anything to keep this place running forever. The collection of beer is great. I love Brooklyn!

Barcade is cool. Decent selection of beers and other drinks available. They have snacks, but no kitchen. So there's not much food. However, they have a cool atmosphere with a bunch of classic arcade games. I apparently suck epically at Asteroid, but I got 3rd place on the high scores for Tetris. So, at least I have that going for me, which is nice. If you want a cool place to hang out and have some fun, this is a great option.

The original! Visited multiple times. Vast space with a great vibe and drinks. Decor is industrial and minimal which makes the machines even more striking!

Drink prices are decent. Games are fun but sometimes eat coins (staff will help you if so). Music seemed extra loud, tough to sit and chat.

Barcade is such a fun spot! The atmosphere is amazing — great music, awesome energy, and a perfect mix of classic arcade games and good drinks. The staff really make the experience, especially Maddie — she was the absolute sweetest! Super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her job and it shows. Whether you’re going for the games, the vibe, or just to relax with friends, this place never disappoints. Definitely one of my favorite hangouts in New York! 🎮🍹

Props to Barcade for being one of few places in Brooklyn where I can perfectly marry the games of my youth with the drinking privileges of adulthood. With rows of vintage quarter games, sporting colorful joysticks and absurdly simple 'kick' and 'punch' buttons, Barcade is a time warp of sorts, allowing grown men and women to rediscover a love affair with Atari and Street Fighter. I am not so prideful that I wouldn't admit to spending many nights trying to defeat the high scores on Tetris, with plenty of cheap well drinks fueling me through the more intense levels. A decent selection of beers are on tap (including one hard cider that tasted just like fizzy apple juice, just the way I like it) are made all the more attractive by the $1 off happy hour prices and simple bar snacks are available, though be forewarned - oily potato chip fingers present a slip risk when trying to furiously tap the button that pulls a character's special hadouken move. Recent trips have revealed some new developments, such as a token system (so no more using the change machines for your next day's trip to the laundromat) and a number of new games, such as Star Wars and a multi-player touchscreen PacMan game. Some nights are busier than others, which might mean queueing up for your game of choice, but there are plenty of other things to occupy your wait time. Besides tons of other games, there are large, rustic picnic-style tables scattered throughout the bar where you can strategize with your playmate about how to finally defeat the enemies on Final Fight, and even a trip to the bathroom promises ample entertainment as you read the hundreds of handwritten messages left behind in the stall (or maybe that's just the women's room). Even when it's crowded, Barcade is a guaranteed good time for anyone who tires of the typical bar scene and it's a great place for anyone - from singles to first dates to married couples (in fact, I've made trips out to Barcade during every stage of life, enjoying myself thoroughly every time).

Brought a crew there after a show in the area. I love barcade. This is the second one I've been too. The one in Philadelphia is bigger and has a kitchen. So the philly one is superior. Would still go to this one if I'm in the area

This is one of those places you hang out with your buddies and have a great time playing classic arcade with your favorite drink. Their drinks menu is rich, and beer options are ample. If you're one of the arcade lovers, you're gonna love this place. What deserves a special mention? Their classic game collection is rich and the vibe is retro. What could be better? Their service and hygiene standards.

Good amount of vintage arcade games especially shooting and pinball. I easily spent 1.5hrs by myself with $10 in tokens. Games are at least 50c a play. Definitely try Quick & Crash or BishiBashi with friends. Make sure to bring cash.

Nicole Morales

I haven't tried the food, and the atmosphere would have been better for me if I was able to hear myself think or even speak, the music was just too loud for me. Other wise it's a cool place to go if you don't mind the loud music 🎶 and don't go on the weekend if you don't want to be in a crowded bar.

Really loved going to this place; however, the security guard for 1/30/26 at night was very rude!!!!! Pressing me as if I were coming in from off the streets begging for food. Management needs to refresh their security guards on hospitality. Totally unacceptable.

Maoko Plays

They're incredibly rude and ruined the vibes at the bar, this bar is the worst bar I've been to in Brooklyn and the hospitality was terrible. Wouldn't recommend going here, already advised my friends there not to bother going. The other locations are truthfully a lot more lively and fun.
