The RJO Group Reviews

Throw back arcade games inside of a bar. Can't go wrong.

Great selection of games they have all the classics. Most games are only 24-50cents to play!

Great spot to bounce in and hang with friends. Not too busy when we went, but in a good way. Age restriction which really made the experience that much more enjoyable. Will definitely have to come back.

Fun bar to go to with friends or have a small office party. Great beer selection too.

When there's no seats or surfaces to use as a table to eat, there's no way to enjoy the place

Drinks, arcade games, youthful atmosphere. What more could you ask for.

Wish there was something like this in Toronto. Games not expensive. Was fun!

Fun arcade bar, but not a large selection of games.

Really cool place with lots of games from your childhood. The little pulled pork burgers are delicious and the chickenwings are nice and just right spicy too. Great variety of beers and friendly stuff.

I only like coming here when I m with a good crowd that I can enjoy spending time with no matter where I am. Otherwise it s a bit underwhelming since it takes forever to get a drink, and everything feels quite dirty..

Great place for vintage arcade games, and a bar to boot

Awesome classic arcade games, great beer selections.

Awesome Retro Games to make you warp back to the late 80's and Early 90's

Horrible horrible doorman. Wouldn't let anyone in and was clearly looking for a fight.

The arcade games are great of course but the food is sub par. If you're going for drinks and fun it's a cool spot. The bathroom graffiti, while reminiscent of the 80s feels dingy and has a lot of racist sentiment.

Incredible how time does not pass delicious beer place ideal to share with friends and family has the best time playing and sharing is great

Not as great as it was hyped up, but still a great place to go down memory lane.

Booze and old school video games - what's not to love.

There are a ton of craft beers here, definitely one for every kind of taste. The arcade games are so much fun and a great way to hang out with friends. It gets pretty crowded around 8-9pm but I never had trouble finding an arcade game to play

Good time! They have plenty of options on tap (very affordable too) and it only took us 2-3 minutes to get a drink. A lot of throwback arcade games too. Definitely recommend.

I went here with my friends and I had a great time.

Fun vintage video games, good drinks and an overall fun experience

Amazing concept for a bar..especially for Millenials. Visited this location on a Saturday evening, it was quite packed. The food options were wonderful (chicken and waffles sandwich!) and of course the arcade games were great, brought back so many childhood memories. The cost for tokens was very reasonable! I would suggest that they play a wider variety of music, otherwise the experience was great.

Cool place to have beers and play some old school games! Beats just sitting at a bar and drinking. You get to reminisce about your ole gaming days !

Fun location with some nice arcade cabinets and a nice bar. Lunch specials are thoughtful and smelled heavenly. A very thoughtful selection towards craft beer selection and drink specials.

Arcade machine attention needs upkeep. Crazy Taxi ate my tokens (staff immediately apologized and refunded when brought to their attention), Daytona USA had major drift to the left (leftmost machine of four). SEGA Gunblade NY left trigger was intermittent, and the right monitor on the X-Men arcade cabinet was super dim, to the point of being an active distraction while trying to play the game.

Based off the food and drink, I'd return. Based off the machine quality - I couldn't.

Lots of old schools that will surprise you and they have a great 1v1 Japanese game

Great place but sometimes can get real overcrowded.

This place is amazing if you love retro video games. Good selection of beers and cider and all of the classic games you would want to play. Fair warning, they use tokens not quarters and the var won't refund if you over buy them.

For $ 15 drink and hamburger, where in addition to eating you can play to the recreational machines by tokens

Great beer and fun games, what else do I say? It doesn't usually get too crowded.

Excellent bar with great games. It's reasonably priced, and you can play for a few hours on 10 bucks of quarters.

A really fun place to grab a good drink, even if it's loud and standing room only usually.

Great, friendly service. They have a few cool and iconic games worth checking. The cons are that the music is too loud for a conversation and that some games ate coins :(

Vintage feel, cool dive bar with so many classic arcade games. Throw it all into a bar and you have a recipe for a cool spot.

Games r only 1 or 2 tokens each. U can have a blast for a great price

Great time. Informal meeting with business colleagues.

Cool lil spot to go to if your big on ol school video games

All old school games with original pricing. Tons of fun

Pretty good selection as beer bars go but usually not a lot to thrill beer geeks. That's fine, this is something different and done well. Staff is pretty good too. The games are generally kept in pretty good shape and the selection is good. Not a destination bar for beer people but definitely the best option in the Chelsea.

Better than the Barcade in East Village as far as the space and bar area but the arcade games were not as good.

Perfect place if you crave vintage gaming while drinking an adult beverage. Barcade has become a regular stop when I am in NYC so I can relive some of the best games of my childhood while enjoying a new and different beer.

Love this place. Great place for cheap drinks and nostalgic arcade games.

This is the better of the two barcade's in the city. In my opinion if course. Great beer selection! Great games and always a good night. It never fails!

Awesome place for old school arcade fun , drinks and fun, cool rock music in the background, great place to unwind and reminisce, highly recommended and the arcades are always clean, working and in great shape, the best.

Food is delicious, games are awesome, & the barback is a cutie .

I was very intoxicated when I came here and I had a blast! They had an old school X-Men video game I was very happy. You will not be disappointed. Just prepare yourself for all the frats European descent individuals who can't hold their liquor.

Classic video arcade with great daft beers selection!

There are several barcade locations, and I'd say this one is second only to the one in Jersey City. Larger than the occasionally claustrophobic St. Mark's one, more consoles than the flagship Brooklyn spot.
They have my personal favorite, Tapper (with Budweiser, not root beer!),
A promotional Fix It Felix console that had my brother and I convinced it was actually from 1982, and the greatest game ever made. I speak of course of Sega's short-lived 1991 foray into live-action holography, Time Traveler. Let me be clear: you are not an arcade enthusiast if you haven't played this game. It's what's missing in you're life. The empty parts of your soul are just waiting to be filled with 4 inexplicably neon pieces of wood glued to a curved mirror and CRT screen, the bizarre backdrop to our bumbling hero's seemingly random travels through time. The inches-tall cowboy spends his time awkwardly crouching and examining the wrong part of the screen until you get hit in the head by some seriously bored Indians, or zapped by a mushroom that turns into an old lady in a nightie, or find yourself in the middle of a baseball game for like, no reason. A wizard in a fruity outfit gets really comically upset when you die (and you will. Change out a ten. You'll need it.) And a sexy lady sells you extra lives in the form of some cubes that you never see.
There are other reasons to stop by, like surprisingly delicious bar bites and the ever- changing taps, but Time Traveler alone is worth the trip.

Amazing setting with amazing waiters! The ambiance was very chill and comforting and the drinks were top notch

Food is really good and so are the cocktails. The arcade area could do with a bit more variety. Me and my friend didn't see anything we really wanted to play. The service is good and bar staff are helpful

Awesome selection of beer and arcade games, could hangout here for hours. Great spot for a happy hour!

Barcade is a pretty cool arcade bar. A long list of beers on tap, and pretty good wings too. It's quite large, just not a lot of seating. Tons of games to play, with token machines scattered all over. Try to beat some of the high scores up on the boards and you'll be there for a while.

Cool spot to hang out with friends. Good bar food as well

A little more cohesively on-theme than, say, Pioneer's, Barcade features a genuinely impressive number of classic arcade games, including Ms. PacMan and Qbert

Awesome!!!

If you love old school videogames and beer, this place is a MUST. At least 30 different types kind of beers and tons of arcades

Amazing place to go with friends and just have some good old fashion fun, play some games and just drink and eat.

A good variety of games. All the games I played were 2 tokens (50 cents). Pretty good beer selection as well. Was busy at 5pm on a Saturday, but still barely had to wait for any of the games that I wanted to play.

Great games, great beer, great times. If you want a wave of nostalgia crossed with a wide variety of beer, go to Barcade. They have multiple pinball games, Simpson s, Ninja Turtles, Tron, Chrystal Palace, and much much more.

I'd go here just for the Golden Axe machine. So good.

A spectacular site for anyone but especially for retrogamers and lovers of classic arcades. It also has a good selection of beer and food taps. You can not ask for more.

15$ burger and you have to wait about 40 min! And only children around!

Super fun, always crowded, always waiting for a drink. My friend got kicked out for having a red bull in his pocket. I got kicked out for stumbling. They are hyper sensitive. Not my first choice of venue, but the games are fun.

All the games you can imagine... This place is lit and so much fun

I SPECIFICALLY looked this place up. It dod NOT disappoint! Lovely ambiance!

All the games you could wish to play. A great little bar.

This place is fun and the food is good..loved my time there..will b bk

Want to relive your childhood gaming experience? Barcode is the way to go and I only wished if they had one in Queens.

The food's good and the drinks are pretty reasonable, the games are also super fun
