Are you longing for nostalgia? Check out Crave 80s. This unique bar in Marysville takes all your favorite arcade memories of childhood and infuses them with grown-up fun. If the concept doesn’t immediately convince you, consider just how stressful adult life is and you might change your mind. For a memorable night out of no-holds-barred fun, this local spot is a Snohomish County must-visit.

Crave 80s Arcade Bar shares a building with a local video game store, Another Castle. Though this somewhat drab location does little to evoke '80s exuberance, it conceals an interior that's truly a blast from the past.

The first thing to greet bargoers is the clamor of retro arcade games. Scores of pinball machines attract knowledgeable gamers from around the area, and when Crave 80s is busy, they produce the unmistakable music of childhood fun.
