I love this place. It is a fun, casual vibe. Sometimes I can get overwhelmed by the elitism of the Burlington bar scene but this place is not even remotely like that. Tons of arcade games, mostly the most popular and old school. Stuff like Pacman and Centipede. All of the games are affordable. They don't charge you 5 bucks to play one game like other places do. There's a nice bar right in the middle of the space and the bartenders are super friendly and happy to advise you on the good drinks or what would be perfect for you on a personal level. On some days/nights they open up the garage door style windows and there's this beautiful breeze that comes through. I could honestly hang out here every day.

Great spot in downtown Burlington with an extensive tap list, and so many games from one's childhood. It's a trip down memory lane, and a wonderful way to spend an evening, whether it's solo or with a group!

This place is pretty solid and the games are quite cheap. The bartenders were so-so, but overall it's definitely a good place if you're looking for something different than just a regular bar scene. Good selection of local beers.

Pretty awesome Barcade, with good selection of classic games to play for a great price! Drinks are average price and a good selection for most. It was super crowded but still pretty easy to find games to play, especially because everyone is always rotating. Only annoying thing is showing vaxx proof but was not a problem for us - make sure to have a copy of your card on your phone or in print.
