As someone who does not drink, I absolutely love this bar. I first visited years ago when I was in town for a wedding and I was happy to see that they are still in business! They have an awesome selection of old games, including and N64 and an old Playstation.You could seriously come here every night for a year and have a different experience every time. My only complain is that they need to fix the joystick on Galaga machine - but I'm sure they already know that ;-)If you are a resident of Columbus or just passing through like we were, you must visit this place. It's easy to get to from both the Short North and German village so you have no excuses! This would also be a fun first date idea...
Just had the most amazing night there with Jamie working and Jill on bar, some other patrons got into a verbal fight and the staff handled it extremely well and still took such great care of us. We will definitely be recommending to our friends and will be coming back soon!
Cool spot to visit from time to time. Good drink options for everyone. We come often over the past several years because my fiancé and I like Buck Hunter. The game hasn’t worked right for years. We still give it a shot and hope of one of these times it works well! Luckily they have other games but nothing in there compares.
A cool "Barcade" in a convenient location. As long as you buy drinks you play all the arcade games you want for free. Which is really cool. And it's right next to Mikey's late night slice. Pizza and beer is a great duo.
This bar is super cool. All you have to do is buy a drink and then you can play unlimited arcade games. It was around 11 pm and it was not too crowded. They have tables with game systems on the big screen TVs too. It’s loud and the energy is positive. The street parking was fine. Definitely an adult crowd in comparison to the 16-Bit Bar+Arcade in Dublin.
I love this place! An absolute must visit any time you visit Columbus. Staff is friendly, great variety of games (including an N64 you can ask for different cartridges for), and very close to everything in downtown CBus. Great hot dog place next door for a late night snack!
Awesome place! Arcade games but also big screen tvs with old gaming systems set up. We played Nintendo 64, it was great! Drinks were amazing as well.
Went to the arcade on a Tuesday night with my boyfriend we had a good experience until we went to the bar for another drink. the bartenders Approach when asked for patron first stated “ it’s a little pricey” . After ignoring her comment she then noticed me with my cup that I had brought from home but upon entry the doorman checked my id and let myself and my boyfriend in with our own personal cups. She said in a very rude tone “you can throw the cups away or you can get” out mind you this was our first warning and there is no signs with no outside drinks. My boyfriend and I were not only asked to leave but we were escorted out After we had voluntarily thrown our cups away that we brought in. A completely unsatisfactory experience and I hope that they coach and train were necessary.
I was in when my classmates met here for a pre-reunion gathering because I loved arcades back in the day. But when I got there and found out the games were free?! I might have to stop here every night after work! Plus the staff were sweet, the place was clean and they have a great selection of drinks! Love it. New fav place.
Great selection of mixed drinks and draft beers. Best part is you get to play a huge variety of arcade games for free! Can't go wrong with 16 bit
