Beer and Arcade Games, What More Could You Want?

Barcade BrooklynLocated in hipsterville central, aka Williamsburg, you can find yourself in geek heaven at Barcade. Barcade is neither a bar nor an arcade, discuss! Wait no! Yes it is! And it’s not just some cheap bar either serving $2 Bud Lights or offering $1 Millers for ladies on Wednesday. Barcade actually has real beer, or craft beer as us beer geeks would call it. Just to give you a sample taste, yesterday’s tap included Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale, Founders Dirty Bastard Ale, Smuttynose Star Island Single, and Wandering Star Raindrop Pale Ale (which also happens to be cask). Yeah how’s that for your typical bar tap?

But what makes this bar even more awesome than the drinks themselves is the classic arcade games. Yes you can expect Pac Man, well Ms. Pac Man to be precise. But you can also try your geeky skillz at Asteroids, Punch-Out, Gauntlet, Donkey Kong (hooray!), Paperboy, and about a dozen more. Oh happy day. Naturally you’ll find hipsters chilling in the corner because you are on their turf, but it’s a diverse crowd –video game geeks included.

With a chill atmosphere, delicious beer on tap, and plenty of games to keep your hands busy, Barcade makes for one hell of a Saturday night. Next to karaoke, this is probably the second best way to spend your weekend in Brooklyn.
