:: BARCADE - When Bar & Arcade unites *the tour* ::
« on: December 27, 2009, 04:07:13 PM »


Barcade is a bar in Brooklyn / New York featuring more than 25 vintage arcade games from the 1980s and draft beer from local and regional microbreweries.... The bar was opened in 2004 in a former metal shop and won immediate acclaim for its unique combination of vintage arcade games and rare American craft beers. Sounds good isn't it?

Well, I'm in New York... I love bar ... I love arcade...so impossible to miss the BARCADE visit... head on to Brooklyn, very easy... thanks to the New York City Subway  8)

Here we are  :arrow:



Yeah! I'm ready to enter  8)  :arrow:



Just in case... no drinks outside... no problem, I'm here for the games  :P



It's a bar... very dark... good for the ambiance  8)





I'm choosing a table... right in the middle of the room... so I can have an eye on all the games  ;D  :arrow:



Of course, I'm trying the special beer here  :P  :arrow:



...and I'm ready for trying the games here  :P I just need quarters... follow me  :arrow:



I'm here for the fun... but ... I would like to score on my favorite games... for example this Galaga  :-*  :arrow:



Imagine the name of this game  ::)?  :arrow:



G'N'G ...Guns N' Roses? ... Nope... Ghosts'n'Goblins  :-* :-* :-*  :arrow:



Any Berzerk fans around?  ::) ;D  :arrow:



... there's not a lot of people right now... because it's very early I would say...





This is clearly not the kind of place for Darth Nunette : Rock music ... loud volume... beers ... LOL  ;D ... but she's alright ...  :-*  :arrow:



OK, from this point I decide to get some fun... Because I want to play the game, I give to my wife the mission to take pictures of the cabinets... she's a real pro for that now  :-*  So, here's what you can play here :







SlyFox?  :arrow:



Tapper of course ;D  :arrow:

Some Canadian guys (I presume because of the t-shirt) playing Gauntlet :



I love the ambiance of this place! When rock & arcade unites  8)







I still have an eye on Darth Nunette... or maybe she has an eye on me ... ::) ;D  :arrow:



Back on the two games I really enjoyed to play here ... no surprise...  :P  ::)  ;D  :arrow:





I really enjoy to see people still having fun on these old games  :-*







TAPPER ... the perfect location for this cabinet  ;D  :arrow:



The toilets... arghh... I didn't have a pen for writing something like : "Nuno was here"  ::) ;D  :arrow:



OK, it's time to go back to Manhattan... a last picture... did you recognize some characters?  ;)



This one is easy  :P  :arrow:



It was a nice ArcadeLifeStyle moment here  :-*  If you are in New York, you MUST go there  8)

Oh..and as usual... a *free* video tour  8)

Bye bye Barcade... 'til the next time   ::) 8)

Nice bar, there must be a good atmosphere when it is a bit more crowded. Does anyone know of such a place in Europe, I mean with classic arcade games?

I went there when I was in NY last February... I'm not 21 yet, but I got "smuggled" in by Ben Falls (ex-Moon Patrol wr holder, D2K wr holder, official 4th place on DK) and Hank Chien (current DK wr holder), who frequently go there. I didn't dare to order anything, in fear of being thrown out, but I don't like or drink beer anyway so that wasn't too much of an issue. Played some DK, Moon Patrol, Crystal Castles, Marble Madness, Tetris, Centipede ... before I had to leave early because I was flying back home the next morning. Had a great time though, really fun place and had the opportunity to hang out with a couple of fun people. :)
