Enjoy classic 80s arcade games — the lineup includes Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man, Tron and Donkey Kong — and a rotating line-up of American craft beer . Happy hour takes place each weeknight from 4-7 p.m..
Great place in the city for dates or casual meet ups with friends. Very spacious , great beers on tap always, and you can't beat the selection of arcade games . One of my favorites!
The grilled cheese is to die for. Best ever. The chef totally rocks here. Everything on the menu is a home run. Plus there are great beers and games too :) the bar tenders are the best!!
Delicious and varied beer selection , retro video games , and tasty bar food make this a go to spot when visiting Philly.
Get here early before it gets too busy! All the classic great arcade games , including the 8 player xmen!!
Amazing bartenders , great beer selection , good cabinets, sadly lacking entirely in pinball , but 4 person pac man is a blast!
Great selection of classic arcade games and beers . Be sure to stop by on Mondays for $1 tacos
Pretty cool place with arcade games and good drinks. Had my first chocolate beer (chocolate meltdown by Pennsylvania brewing company) here, so it was a good first impression
What, Philly already made you a cheesesteak wizard? Get the Korean steak sandwich and get your mind blown, add some sriracha if you're man enough, add some pretzel on there for ultimate satisfaction.
Fabulous arcade bar . Great people and phenomenal beer list . Go outside for a breathtaking view . Marble madness left me wanting more.
Great selection of craft beer and classic arcade video games ! Now they're open every day at noon!
Great old-school arcade selection. Excellent craft beers on tap . Can get a little loud late at night
Fun nightlife. Good stand ups. Fun pinballs . Food was killer. The drinks are solid. Prices on amusements could be better. Great ambiance.
Barcade was voted the Best Nerdy Date Spot by OkCupid users in the first-ever Daters' Choice Awards! Tap Read more for additional date spot categories in Philadelphia. #daterschoice Read more
Fun place to be for nostalgic arcade games , but there's nothing new to play. The beer list is pretty good
Excellent craft beer selection that you can enjoy while playing the arcade games of your childhood. Nothing else in Philly quite like it.
I just ate a waffle sandwich . Yellow cheese and lunch meat ham (cold) in between 2 warm waffles with syrup . I'm a weird eater, this was the weirdest combo of flavors. I'm hooked.
You can drink your beer out front apparently which is nice. There's another patio out back. Big open space with lots of tables. Good atmosphere.
Fun Friday night place for a group of friends. 4 player pac man is so fun
The only place to play some of the best old school arcade games . One of my go to stops when I'm visiting.
Fantastic, always changing beer selection . Great arcade games in top quality.
Come for Philly Pinball League (most Monday nights!) stay for the many beers and solid vintage game selection.
Chill vibe, helpful bartenders . Along with beer menu , there's a cocktail list . 4 player PacMan & a quesadilla ! Winner!
Get the chipotle portobello mushroom sandwich with pickled red onions , avocado , smokked chihuahua cheese & cilantro...amazing. not sure how long it will be on menu, so get it now!!
The largest (and newest) Barcade hits Phily! Tons of games and great beer on a easy to read chalkboard . Check out Super Mario Bros in the back!
Loved seeing some classic games I played growing up. My nostalgia boner was intense when I saw Bubble Bobble.
Great rotating tap list . Cool indoor and outdoor spaces . It just so happens to also have arcade games .
"Seriously awesome beer list , seriously awesome outdoor courtyard , seriously awesome vintage arcade games ."

Classic arcade games and a great beer selection .
Always a great selection of craft brews . A Fishtown favorite.
A fun spot with good beers , what more could you ask for
Arcade games are fun all, but the douchy hipster crowd kills the vibe in here. Go next door to the Handle Bar . It's a dive, but better than barcade...
Amazing selection of 80s and 90s classic arcade games . Great outdoor patio space too.
It's like stepping into the 80s but this time you can drink. Awesome kitchen and summer atmosphere
Grilled cheese and Italian sandwich . Fri-sun special... Beer ,sandwich and chips for 10.00. Great deal!
What's not to love? Great arcade games , great beer , great music .
Great beer selection
If you never played Michael Jackson's Moonwalker please do yourself a favor and play. You wound regret it.
Outstanding beer selection
WATCH OUT FOR THE DOUCHE BAG BARTENDER! This place can be uber fun, too bad the bartender with the glasses is THE ultimate prick. Beer , food, games? Thumbs up!! Service? Thumbs down.
Super cool place. Very packed on a Saturday night. Get there early. Play Smash TV . Amazing beers on tap .
There is No pinball ! We came here for that - back to sugar moms and north bowl for that - game on for TRON!
Vegetarian tacos
The menu delivers small cheese & meat plates, but let's face it, you want to be here for the 25-tap bar and 25-cent arcade games . Read more
Try Gauntlet II. It's a great game that you can play with three friends! Might be in a slightly awkward position at this bar though...
Takes about $8 in quarters and a couple friends to beat the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. See ya later Shredder!
They have centipede which is great! I wish there was a pinball machine though.
You know you love the games, the beer ...but come here on an empty stomach & get food from the kitchen. So tasty!!
Great Beer Selection . Xmen!
The food is Amazing try the beer can chicken sandwich. All the beers are great. - Migzy V
The pork burger with slaw is one of the tastiest burgers I've ever eaten. Extensive beer list and cool atmosphere. - Will Scholl
Great spot even in cooler winter months. Fire bowls and heat lamps in the outdoor area plus ping pong to keep you warm! - David
Everyone knows they've got cheap drink specials (and sometimes open bar!) but they serve food upstairs, too. It's also cheap, there's vegan options, and it'll keep ya drinking responsibly. - Kittie Sky
The Roger Hodgson concert was excellent! Small venue, so not a bad seat in the house! Great for intimate concerts and friendly staff. - Sandra Kece
