Going to the arcade after school and on weekends was the thing to do when many of us were growing up unless, of course, we were lucky enough to have a video game console at home. We saved our quarters, ready to beat the high score on our favorite game until the jingle of the coins in our pockets went silent from emptiness. Relive a bit of that old-school magic at Draftcade, an arcade bar in Missouri that combines classic and modern arcade games with a menu of delicious food and drinks.
Pack your pocket with quarters, for old time's sake, when you head to Draftcade, an arcade and bar in Kansas City where time just slips away.
Although you'll be able to play a slew of classic arcade games - from Pac-Man to Centipede - you won't have to drop a quarter into the machine before each game. Instead, you'll just pay $7 for unlimited game play.
Kids are allowed at Draftcade Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (All kids 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.)
