I love that bar . Great selection of beers and amazing arcade games . Spend some time with your friends. Try to beat them in archaic old games. Gotta love 80's.
Went back to Barcade recently - must say, the menu was MUCH improved. Beer selection wide and varied as ever. Vibe remains casual if still a bit too hipster (trends have life cycles, after all).
Great selection of craft beers . What's especially nice is that they change them up all the time to match the season. Old arcade games at old prices are awesome too! Food options are limited.
I think they have one of the best beer selections in my opinion. Good atmosphere and the arcade theme just makes you feel like a big ass kid again.
A Williamsburg import, the Barcade brand pairs drinks and food with classic video games .
Classic games with superb tap beers , what's not to like? Bring 3 friends and hit up the 4 player games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , the Simpsons and NBA Jam .
Excellent rotating selection of beers , delicious menu. Break out of the box& try new items. Daily beer list describes each, so u don't have to order blind. Weekdays are less crowded , and open til 2.
My favorite bar of all-time. Great selection of arcade games , and very wide selection of excellent microbrews . The best part is they're constantly getting new microbrews in- always something new!
They've got some good sandwiches , great deviled eggs and beef jerky but the real reason you are here is to drink craft beer from the ever-changing selection of 24 taps and play video games
Perfect for grabbing a cold beer and playing a few games, or just hanging out. The nachos are a solid plate to share.
Really good beer selections ! Good bar food! Good place to hang with friends! Make sure you bring a marker w you to the bathroom to add your own tag!!
Love their selection of beers . Very laid back and lots of space. Cool selection of games too, and only for a quarter each
Good rotation of games. Bringing in more 90s machines. Switched from quarters to tokens. Good for large groups.
Craft beers matched with original arcade games for 25¢ each. Sure, you could trek to Brooklyn for the same experience, but this location is just as close and less crowded . — Ben T., Creative
The games you loved as a kid. The music you loved as a teen. The women you loved as a college student . The beer you loved as a twenty something... How refreshingly depressing!
The ultimate Jersey City (& Williamsburg & Flatiron) bar , the best arcade game and beer selection in town
I enjoy listening to my headphones all day every day on the loudest settings and I feel obligatedto advise... Bring and wear ear plugs!
This bar has everything...craft beer , snacks , clean bathrooms , arcade games . What it does not have is great music...ever.
1980s arcade games and A-list tap beers , minus Brooklyn hipsters . Jersey knows how to do beer and games.
Great beer and arcade game selection. The food is pretty good, too. The worst part is that it can be really crowded at times.
Any bar that has real arcade games & great brews will be tops on my list
The nutella and bacon is a yes! Barcade always has a perfect selection of beer and the size of this place makes it super easy to get comfortable . Plus the bartenders are so so nice.
Great beer rotation! My fave sandwiches are the Cubano and the patty melt .
The lunch special is a deal. Any beer and sandwich for $10. They'll also serve 5oz tasters for $2-3 each.
Excellent beer selection , good bartenders , and our favorite lunch in Jersey City.
Best way to get your nerdy friends out for a drink????
They have lots of games but I didn't see Fire Trap, Donkey Kong , Donkey Kong Jr., Galaga , Star Wars, RoboCop, or many others I like.
Very cool bar , different vibe, huge space , rooftop is amazing
Good if you love craft beer on tap , even better if you love arcade games . The patty melt ain't bad either.
Cool place, great atmosphere, and diverse beer selections . Love the old school arcade games .
Beer isn't super Cher but the games are fun and a throwback for the late 20s and early 30s crowd.
This place has Damn Good jerky for any upstate New Yorkers in the area or anyone who likes good jerky .
Winner of Best Arcade in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Save your quarters for Burgertime - not found at the Wburg location!
Best craft beer selection in town . The food quality seems to have fallen off in the past year, however.
Solid beer selection . If a line forms behind you, finish your game and let someone else play.
How many bars can you drink beer and play tetris at the same time!? Check this spot out!
Full of memories! Nice beer selection on tap
arcade games and beer , do you even have to ask any questions? just bring a lot of quarters
arguably the best barcade location. tables to play cards, decent game selection
Great beer list and games. Everything you'd expect of a barcade.
Great rotating craft beer list
Try the curried tuna with mint sandwich . Homemade pickles are great match for the beer . Bathrooms are a little rough for a new place.
Cool games. Good beer . But I could think of better things to do.
Beer is a good selection of local craft . No generics. $7 - $12 a glass. Lots of Vegan options . Good pinball selection. Average arcade . No kids.
Great!!! Beers and arcade games ?? What's better??
Bringing back childhood memories, one quarter at a time... Plus BEER !
The bartenders are always very attentive and definitely know their stuff. Tip them well !
Great beer , great food, KICK ASS OLD SCHOOL GAMES!!! What else does a dudw need lol.
Amazing sandwiches and deviled eggs ! The grilled cheese + pork is the best!
They switched to tokens now. Don't bring a bunch of quarters .
It's a beautiful trendy unique vegan place with very yummy food. Great staff. Very friendly and nice. The space is great for private parties as well. Me and my bestie had a great time. - Madhumanti Sarkar
Great bar in JC. Friendly bartenders and they get to know you. Good burgers and fries and nice beers on draft. A Jersey City gem. - Jason Baughman-Oprică
Great burgers and even better fries. My favorite is the Jersey Burger. - Ben Burton
Self-service. Exceptional bar and bartenders. Darn good food - steak is really good. Ask the bartender for cocktails and wheat beers. - Aniruddha Mandke
Delicious pizzas and a solid craft beer list. Live jazz for Sunday brunch. Super stroller-friendly. - Philip Gross
