I am a lifelong gamer and love bar arcades.
Barcade Newark has a large variety of retro arcade games and pinball games. The prices to play the games are very reasonable. Most older games are only one or two tokens to play. The staff did a good job of intermittently cleaning the machines. However the token machine only takes cash. Not the worst thing considering how overpriced card based arcades work.
The food options are good for a bar arcade but are not necessarily gourmet. I appreciated that they had vegetarian food options!
They have a strong draft beer selection and also offer a lot of happy hour food/drink combos.
I will definitely be back to play, drink, and eat!

Everything is great. But why did they get rid of Tetris? All the other barcodes have one. It's one of the most commonly played arcade game. I will give this place 5 stars when they bring back Tetris!!!
