Went here again a couple months after opening and they have doubled the number of machines and replaced a lot of the emulated ones. Good experience and good prices! $3 drafts on Tuesday.

The News & Observer

Boxcar has a wide collection of draft beer , bourbon and pinball and video games . The back of the bar features skee-ball, air hockey and Atari, Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles. Read more

We had our 9 year olds brd party& it was a blast,so many parents stuck around & said it was the best party they attended all year.The mgr,jane, along w/the staff were super nice and accommodating.

Tisza Holt

Best beers on tap , great specials, and tons of fun in any night of the week.

Daniel Pisciottano

Great draft selection and solid - albeit sometimes emulated - vintage game selection. I'd imagine vintage cabinets cost lots o'cash. Either way, awesome 'brotime' spot.

Niki B

Lots of arcade games , a decent bourbon selection and fun patio games outside.

Jameson Staples

I love playing air hockey ! The vibe is awesome. Pick up a can of Not Your Father's Root Beer and have a sweet time.

Awesome place to hang out and meet new people, there are so many games to play.

Good beers . Gets pretty crowded at times, but there was always at least one game free.

Free Skee Ball Thursday before league starts at 8pm.

Food carts park out front after about 8:30. I think they wait until it gets busy. No food at bar but I did see people bring in pizza .

Carlos Russo

Great concept. Love giant jenga outside!

Bre

This place is a lot fun with friends! It's crowded but the wait for a game isn't too bad.

J McGee

As excited as I was to try this place out, the games (I used to love) were just so boring after such a short period of time.

Eric Andersen

Play Skee-ball of course!
