Really like that they listened to feedback and are testing out a new "layout." Much more room to move around. TRY THE FROZEN WINE

Bommy

Pretty good beer selection . Go early to avoid long waits to play games. Games take credit cards .

Great beer selection almost helps you forget how poorly the games are maintained. Very frustrating,how many times the machines gobbled by quarters without allowing me to play.

Philip Van Mechelen

Playing killer queen is a must and as a Belgian i strongly advise chimay blue as a beer

Gordon Mei

This is San Francisco's smaller version of New York's Barcade or Portland's Ground Kontrol. Most unique game here? Killer Queen .

Chris

Make sure to play Killer Queen , the 5v5 strategy game while you are here

Scottie Milagro

Pretty substantial beer list . The arcade area is a fun distraction although a little crowded in the spaces between the machines.

Joey Combs

This place is rad. Great craft beer selection and if you're nice to the bartender he'll let you play the Wii U for free. Smash it up bro!

Sarah

Get addicted to Killer Queen . They also have kombucha as a n/a drink!

Jennifer Burlington

"Moonwalker " Michael Jackson game is amazing! You can dance away your enemies.

Staff Picks

Feeling a case of playground nostalgia? Brewcade is the perfect place to connect with your inner child while you pound down a few brews.

Mathieu Sabourin

Decent. Nice beer selection . Arcade selection is ... interesting. Not too many games and pretty old school. Moonwalker by Micheal Jackson makes it totally worth it thought.

Jones

About 5 good games and a bunch you won't care about. Nice selection of beers . The game Killer queen is pretty fun

John Cassillo

All of the arcade games you're looking for, plus a quality beer list . Nothing to complain about.

Kian Lavi

Play Killer Queen ! And get some $2 nuts . The owner, Shawn, is the man.

Ashley Mowrey

Good beer selection , not super crowded (it can be at times but isn't overall) and really friendly bartenders . Oh and arcade games .

Vivek Bhagwat

Bring a bunch of friends (or make some!) and play killer queen . It's up to 5v5 and really fun

Robert Brewer

Games are shoulder to shoulder, feels cramped. Credits are 50¢, seems expensive . Good non-alcoholic options though. Prefer Emporium.

Srikanth Raju

Arcade games and beer cups that glow. Remember to wear fluorescent friendly clothes to look dashy

Bodie Van Betuw

Needs food and they have a solid chance. Also need to implement other feedback noted here. I hope they read comments!

Rebecka S.

Great craft beers on draft . Friendly staff . Good arcade games and pinball machines .

Formerly known as the “Brewcade”, and now double the size.
