The RJO Group Reviews

For someone around or over 30, all the arcade games are a great flashback to simpler times. The Tetris shaped tatter tots are amazing. They also have a great draft beer list. Not the usual Bud Lights and Stella's. And with a rotating tap list, we keep coming around. It doesn't hurt that we live one block away.

Great spot for drinks! Loved the old school video games. The only downside was all the seats were reserved so there was no where to sit to eat. I would advise reserving a spot ahead of time if you plan on eating there.

Pro's friendly security guard and games are great for the price.
Cons..bartender was rude the service was horrible and i felt like their was some kind of discrimination towards me. Im an american but i guess my pigment wasn't light enough to recieve good customer service. Will not recommend any one to come to this location next time i will go to brooklyn.

Good place if you are a fan of classic arcade games. Inexpensive and you may play for hours for just 10-20bucks. They have decent select of drinks and food as well.

Really fun if your into old arcade games. The games are not to expensive. You exchange cash for arcade coins at a machine. Drink prices are a little high but the drinks are good.

I went there with a group of friends and was trying to get a bartender attention unfortunately i wasn t able to get his name but he was bald and miserable, he says to me if you want my attention you have to tip me, all the people on the other side of the bar is tipping. This is how I work. I was stunned by how unprofessional this was because this was the first drink I was buying. That alone ruined my experience for this location so be cautious of coming across this man.

Games, beer, girls who like games and beer... this place is amazing.

Great beer selection and an awesome amount of retro video games

Went there on a Tuesday which looked like a Friday and service was crappy

Honestly not my favorite... went here looking for a good time but it s just way WAY too loud! Not sure why but the music they were playing was super loud, which in turn makes the people there have to literally SHOUT to someone who is only sitting next to them.

I do see why people would like it here though - it has a ton of different arcade games - which is probably very nostalgic for some. Also it s just fun! I don t like how many single player games there are though - it d be more fun if they also had games where two or more people could play together so you don t end up just watching 1 person play at a time..

The happy hour drinks are limited as it only includes beer - no cocktail drinks sadly :/

Pretty crowded on a Saturday night. Machines kept eating coins and long wait times to play games.

They have Micheal Jackson s Moonwalker and awesome beer. What else could you ask for.

What's that you say? You want to play nostalgic arcade games and have a drink without being surrounded by 10 year olds? Enter Barcade.

There's a big bathroom and the staff is really nice. I left my phone on one of the game machines by accident, and one of the security guys found me and gave it back. That was sooo nice!!

It's seriously awesome. There's games that I love and drinks to chug, or you know, not chug. Either way, it's a great time.

Great games which are all well taken care of! The place has a nice square set -up, so ppl traffic can easily move around. They have a full bar and even have some food options! I really liked the place.

This is similar to to one in Chicago but the that one has majority of games free and it's much bigger. It's just another bar and although the food is good there is no real wait staff. It's just okay.

love this place old school arcades and good beer what can be better.

Drinks and arcade games (half of them are for 2 or more players), what else can you ask for? "tokens" are needed to play, which are just quarters (they also have machines that change bills for quarters). Going with friends/date is advised, but you can go alone as well and still have a good time (I know, I've done the later)

A must see in NYC. Rock, beer and arcade games what could be better!!! The team is amazing and the place made for gaming and drinking!

Video games are awesome, great environment. Would get 5 stars for better beer prices

What an incredible place, for those who enjoy games and beer, I recommend it too much.

Tons of fun! Many classic games that will have you traveling down memory lane with your friends. Great mix of drinks and food options all at a price that won't break the bank. Highly recommend!

Fun spot, lots of great retro video games to help you relive your mispent youth and most of the games are only 25cent a game!

GO for the vintage arcade games (naturally). Food is meh. Drinks the same. Stay away from their Jeff Goldblum cocktail!

Great games and amazing staff!! Definitely coming back!

Not as big as the other Barcade I was at in Jersey City, and some of the machines ate my money/ were not working. Typical bar food. Good times

Great craft beer selection. Great snacks. About 30 vintage arcade games.

Barcade is a blast, and is priced in accordance with the area it is in. Of course, alcohol is probably going to deplete your ability to play video games (and the more difficult retro ones at that), but that's not something you particularly care about four beers in.

It's okay. A couple machines were broken. Staff was amazing though and helpful. Games were fun.

I had a mixed experience on the night I was here. The door man was nice, the bar people were not as nice tho. My friend got charged 2x for his beer and when he talked to the waiters they didn't refund him, not quite sure what they said.
Enjoyed the playing arcades with friends, there were some machines that just ate my coins tho. But you can tell the bar and they'll give u coins.

We loved it! Games are awesome and the tokens are cheap. Great selection of food and drinks.

Spent half the day in this bar on our visit to NY. One of the 1st bars we went in on our craft beer tour. The range & quality of beers was excellent & the burger I had appeared to have a whole cow between 2 bits of bread. Excellent venue well worth a visit.

Awesome and convenient place to game , lounge and get your drink on, however the Marvel vs Capcom 2 game needs fixing, for I think that's the only game worth playing there.

It was ok. Alot of old school arcade games. Drinks are Ok. Bit much $ but nice buzz. Pretty packed as expected on a sat night

Cool bar. Has some super retro games. Wish they took quarters...tokens only. Great place to celebrate a bday party!

There's an okay section of games, but nothing good with a light gun (time cop, house of the dead, area 51) which is disappointing. Good beer selection though, and the tater tots are amazing. I would highly suggest getting food here.

Great place to hang out if you're interested in classic arcade games, as there's a great selection of old school faves. I was able to find Michael Jackson Moonwalker (an old personal favorite) at one location. And the food /beverage menu is cool for localized original brews and unique sandwiches. Fun spot to go with friends or for dating if video games peaks your Interest.

Great selection of craft beer, great bar food, and plenty of 80s and 90s arcade games for entertainment. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Located around the Flatiron/Chelsea area, about a half mile south of Penn Station & Madison Square Garden, it should be easily accessible for most NYers.

They got some great arcade games here but they need more shootemup games

A great place with inexpensive and fun arcade games! The beers are standard nyc pricing but they have a great selection!

Fairly priced drinks and plenty of old school, nostalgic games to entertain you!

Not bad beer prices ($1 off for happy hour) and arcade games are super fun. Great after-work hangout spot!

A super fun bar with all your arcade games. Great time with friends. Also offers happy hour on beer only($1 off).

So many classic retro games to play. Most only 2 quarters for a play. Huge craft beer menu and also classic american food. Well worth a visit. Gets busy at night

This too me back to my child hood. All the Pac-Man I could of asked for. It was my friends going away party and this was a great venue of choice. Great drinks, games, and atmosphere. Highly recommended to go.

This was our first time at this location. The staff was chill but friendly. Not exactly social but attentive for sure. They also were continusouly cleaning which was great. We were able to find seating even when it was crowded with another event going on. The food was excellent (truffle mac and cheese + chicken and waffle grilled cheese). And there a lot of games to choose from...

Love this place! I could spend hours here. All my favorite games from childhood

The food... The beer... Games.... Dope pop in check it out

PAC MAN VS was great! Tasty Tasty fries! Good drink options. Unfortunately several of the co-op machines weren't working properly. Will check out again next time!

A little pricey on the liquor but hey it's Manhattan. Great selection of games and they're pretty well maintained

Great place to go with friends but it is better during off hours to avoid a crowd

The staff here are AMAZING! Truly wonderful people. The bar has good food, the beer selection is always changing and staying new, plus they have vintage games to play! This spot is fun for locals or tourists, good for a small group of people.

Nice beer & old school arcade joint. A bit too loud, but good crowd.

It was fantastic all the vintage arcade games I used to play are there. Hoping you folks over there can score a Arcade version of Rival Schools and Marvel vs Capcom

Super chilled place, beers and classic games... Will be returning soon.

The atmosphere is great, with a nice customized drink menu... Oh and don't forget the abundance of retro arcade games to take you back to your childhood

Always entertaining to play classic arcade games while drinking craft beer

Great place to stop by and play some arcade games with some drinks.

Good food and awesome games. Sad there's no time crisis though.

It's initially nice, however it's quick to get boring. Too loud to have conversation

Fun place,working old arcade games and wonderful craft beers.

Throwback to 80s nostalgia. The venue is gritty, but that's exactly the point. Come to this place ready to play and have fun, but don't come if you want more than that.

Whatever you do, don't put your drink on top of a game.

Lovely spot to take your friends, good beer selection.

Their margarita is phenomenal and so is the food (get the tator tots and fish tacos, you won't regret it). 4 chips for a dollar to play games and they have all the good stuff. Love going there!

Love coming to the barcade! The first time I went to the downtown one and both have their pros. This one is a lot more spacious with group and driving games that we all loved! It s a great way to pass a night! Once we brought outside food and the bouncer was super friendly about telling us to put it away, always a great experience! It does get crowded and rowdy when people are passionate about the games but never in a bad way. I d recommend their fries, we always order them!
