Arcadia - Portland, Me

Jake

It's great! I was there as they opened so I have no idea what it's like when it's packed, but there was a happy hour, bartenders were super nice and helpful, the broad range of pinball machines is amazing as always. A couple of pinball machines marked 50 cents ate quarters beyond that before I gave up on them, but it's all so reasonably priced, a few extra quarters as a contribution seemed more than fair. They're making use of the downstairs level for skeeball and such. And if you have any problems with this place at all, ask yourself, would Portland be better off without an arcade with a bangin cocktail program? NOOOOOO. I'm sad that Portland City Music Hall had to go as Portland's touring music scene is at it's saddest and desolate in years, but if it had to go, this is a most worthy replacement. Plus, the stage is still there (lined with arcade games), which is some hallowed ground for me. It was weird to remember having my face melted by Future Islands in the same place, and yes, I climbed up on that arcade stage and pretended I was in a band. So, once again... happy hour. If you don't start your date here before going out to dinner, you might be doing it wrong.

The new Arcadia is really cool in the old Port City Music Hall. The cocktail and beer menus are astounding. The games are fun, the vibes are chill, but this place should get 1 star for the NBA Jam machine being broken. Props to the decor and all the hard work that's gone into this new location.

21+ Arcade bar and lounge. Classic Arcade games and drinks what more could you ask for! A little dark and loud even when not crowded. If you're looking for something to do in Portland outside the normal bar hopping scene it's definitely worth a visit.

After going to multiple bars we stopped here, and it was great. Drinks were all well made; there were many options for things to do. Left our coats unattended, but they were never touched or bothered. There is also a coat check for $2 if you don't want to gamble. Highly recommend this place.
