The RJO Group Reviews

Arcade games and alcohol. Perfect combo. Really good beer selection. Food tastes amazing. Love this place.

It s a fun place to go. Remember it is 21 and up. The staff isn t too talkative or friendly but they know how to pour beer. They got great beers on tap.

Great place with good food and drinks. Fast staff and great games. Just come on weekdays it gets crazy on the weekends.

High beer prices and it's annoying they use tokens for the games instead of quarters.

Awesome place to play Golden Axe while you are drinking some nice beer!

Great variety of beers in the area and the best of all is to see arcades and flippers more than 25/35 years ago in excellent condition, as if they were new.

If you like arcade games this is your place can get food and drinks here to

I helped to organize a company outing here at the Chelsea location, and it was fantastic. Everyone was talking about it the next day. The top shelf open bar with food and unlimited games was definitely the way to go. There's nothing like games and great food to bring people together. We all knew the games would be fun, but we didn't expect the food to be so delicious! There are quite a few food snobs amongst us, and all were impressed. The short rib grilled cheese was the winner, but everything was great. I loved the purple veggie burgers too. I highly recommend Barcade for a group event. We had 30 people and it was perfect.

Excellent beer selection, helpful staff, and reasonable prices for midtown. Oh, and they have a rotating selection of arcade classics, like the X-Men beat-em-up. What's not to like about this place?

Bouncers have poor attitudes and the selection of beer could be better.

Working arcade games! It tends to be a bit warm in here all the time.

Fun Games, Good beer, let the nostalgia wash over you. Could do with a bit more space when it's packed but it's still spacious enough to have a good time

This place is is awesome! They have a lot of the classic arcade games like Mrs Pacman, Daytona USA, Golden Axe, Milepede, and Qbert. They have some newer games too, all in arcade format. You have to buy tokens from a machine instead of rolling up with quarters.

They have happy hour, Monday to Friday, from noon until 7pm. The special is $1 off beer (not $1 beer...$1 OFF beer). They also have hot dogs. There is no Game Over at Barcade!

Good beer selection, decent classic video game selection, skews a little to fighting games.

Really helpful staff. Tasty food, and really fun games - well worth a visit for a fun night out with friends.

Awesome bar with tons of vintage arcade games, impressive beer collection!

Great game selection! They had a few favorites of mine, even: Gunblade NY, Metal Slug and Bust a Move on Neo Geo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The most expensive game I saw was 50 cents- awesome! No one under 21 allowed, so no little kids running the experience for the grown-ups.

Fun place to go. Great beer and drinks and terrific variety of classic arcade games

Craft beer in New York has been a reality for many years and it is very easy to enjoy it in one of its many breweries, but one of the most attractive is the Barcade, since it unites beer and recreational of the 80, an ideal mixture for nostalgic . The prices of the beers vary from 7-9 dollars and the recreational ones, price change of chips for 25-50 cents, for the entrance it is necessary to show the card and it has happy hour, where to taste the beer you will get a cheaper dollar.

Wonderful idea. Beer and arcade games! So much fun

Great beer. Solid bar food. Vintage video games. It's a perfect bar.

I didn't eat or drink anything, I just came for the games. A whole bunch of arcade machines, from the late seventies to the early nineties. From classics like Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Galaga or Q*Bert to Alien 3, Daytona USA and NBA Jam. All of the ones that I tried worked nicely and you could play them for a quarter each. Customers were nice (no kids in there) and the bouncer was friendly. Personnel was unobtrusive and let you play your games. I was there at 9 or 10 pm during the week and most people there actually were playing video games. Had fun, would come again.

Beer and classic arcade games, nothing more I can ask for.

The food was great and the video games were old school just how I like it. I went with 3 friends and we all ordered different things to eat and it was all very good. The bill came and it was only $85.00.

Amazing selection of arcade games but will avoid weekends. Saturday was packed and the music was way too loud to enjoy the games or my friends company

Lots of classic games which are sometimes crowded but the great beer selection makes up for everything

Good beers, cheap old school video games. Nice atmosphere

Dope arcade. Suspect nachos.... I know they can do better.

There's no better way to spend a Friday night in the city than at this barcade. Awesome selection of games which will keep you entertained on their own, quite a beer selection that will make the gaming that much better and great food that will make you want to drink more. I highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the short rib sliders, but play some xmen or tmnt first. Earn that food!!!

Great beer selection, decent happy hour, and fun bar food. Also, lots of video games - I'm a fan of 4-player pacman. A bit too loud for a date, a bit too crowded for a big group, but perfect for 3-4 people to stand, drink, and

Great time. Lovely games with a great beer selection

Childhood memories collide with adult beverages in this unique bar filled with classic arcade games! Great food, incredible beers on tap and fun games.

If you re into retro arcade games, check out this place. Not much different than other arcade bars I ve been to in various other cities but I did like how the high scores were posted on a chalkboard along the back wall. The games run on tokens and there s 2 machines that dispense tokens, about 25 or 50 cents to play. The drinks were fairly inexpensive ($7-9 a pint, $6 a shot) and I didn t try the food but it looked good.

Fun packed bar filled with old arcade games. A bit pricey but a unique experience. A good place to hide from the cold and grab some drinks.

Play and drink and play some more. This place has a great taps list and a pile of old systems to play with.

Does it get any better then vintage games & alcohol. Barcade is definitely one of my top spots to hang with friends and catch up, it is a great throw back to when we were kids playing Taxi, Pac-Man, Mario, Ninja Turtles.

Tough to not like an arcade. 5-7 weekdays they have $1 off special. I usually try and get here before the crowds around 7

Whats more to love? Games, Drinks and most of all, great food. Triple threat, triple treats!

Fantastic blast in the past! A lot of fun and atmosphere! a great bar too and a great crowd! Highly recommended for any arcade games fans out there and any nostalgia fans of the 80's! (also got a great location in jersey city!)

Great place to have a few drinks and play retro games.

Most of the games there are outdated and used coins. Games were too boring to be fun at all! The food we ordered there was actually pretty good! Would recommend the tatter tots and calamari. But the place was way too LOUDDD!! You can barely hear yourself talk! The bathrooms look like something out of a crackhouse. Maybe it was originally a crackhouse....

Great local and micro brew selection. Fun atmosphere with lots of classic arcade games.

Was OK. Opened a tab and they didn't let us know the machine was down, had to end up paying cash for a large party....

Lovely place. Has all the classic arcades from 80s and 90s.

Amazing staff and an astonishing selection of beers. And let's not forget the games. A must when in NYC.

I tried several different beers but I didn't really like any of them. Overall arcade ambiance was nice though!

This place is amazing. Excellent choice of craft beers and old school arcade games. What a great idea. This place needs to come to London! Well worth a visit !!!

Great place to kill time with your friends by having drinks and playing old school video games!

Not a huge selection of identifiable games, but still a fun night out for sure.

we go there at friday night. was very crowded and beer was really bad. but games are quite good. a nice place for nostalgia.

If you don't already know, Barcade is a portmanteau of bar and arcade. It's a fantastic concept, and its range of both drinks and retro games mean you won't be disappointed if you arrive with a date or a group.

great concept and the service and food was also good

OMG! Dragon's Lair is here! Along with a great selection of beers. A Saturday we'll wasted. Ahhhhhh

The foods good and the drinks, the games are also super fun. Had a great time with friends here.

Loud, crowded, good beer selection, the games are a gimmick these days.

Awesome. Loved the environment. You could drink and just have a good time with friends and play old school arcade games

Fun bar. Great theme. Chill ambiance and the Tetris shaped tater tots are ingenious and delicious!

Why would you waste your money on cheap arcade games you could easily find online? The experience really isnt that much different.

If you are into beer and arcade games this is the place to go. 4 player Pacman is fun!

Tasty burger. Good cider. Really loud. Very lively.

Bartenders are awesome. No wait staff - only a clean up crew and they will bring the food to your table. Order food and drinks at the bar. Nice vintage games. Nice open area with wood floors. Big 80's feel. Rose wine tastes a bit watered down - maybe not good quality. Go for the many beers on tap instead !

If you are looking for that feeling of a mall arcade, this is the spot. They have a great selection of games, Evey single one of them a classic. The best price it's only 1 token per game. The beer selection is great and the Duck nachos are a must try.

The arcade games are plentiful and a good option if you can t find a seat and the bar s full. The food is ridiculously tasty pub food.

Great, but my husband is always whopping me at every game so that's a bit of a downer.

What a great experience. Playing old games with friends over drinks is just awesome

Fairly busy place with a ton of classic arcade games and a nice beer selection

Not the original but has the important games like pacman, joust, and gatica.

Often crowded due to location, but food and drinks are on point, game selection good

It was OK large Selection of drinks But Half of the machines were broke So disappointed I didn't even stay for food

Come here to play tons of arcade games while having a quick bite or something to drink.

I find this fun as I miss the old school aracde. They have good games here and you can drink/eat while playing. What more does one need? Gets crowded.
