Do you remember the days of feeding quarters into your favorite video game to claim that elusive high score? Today we can play games on our phones, computers, and TVs but it’s simply not the same as pushing the buttons on an old-school game. Immerse yourself in the magic of a classic arcade in Connecticut’s Elm City. Barcade is an adult playground featuring more than 50 vintage arcade games and once you walk in the door, you’ll feel like a kid all over again.
Located in downtown New Haven, Barcade is America's original arcade bar. It combines a craft beer bar and a classic arcade to provide a place where the over 21 crowd can enjoy some nostalgic fun.
You'll find over 50 classic games including many of your favorites from the 80s and 90s at Barcade. Get ready to attempt to beat your high score from decades ago!
Not only will you find those video game classics, but this arcade also has a selection of retro pinball machines too. The flashing lights and flippers will take you on a trip straight to your younger years.
Don't spend time digging through the couch looking for quarters. These games take tokens that you can purchase right on the spot. Each token cost 25 cents and most games take one token.

Bigger appetites will find plenty of satisfying choices. Dive into a signature burger, a scrumptious sandwich, fresh salad, or a plate of tender wings.
