This place has incredible happy-hour deals on pizzas! The small pizza I ordered cost $4, and the large pizza I ordered cost $8. During happy hour, drafts are also $2 off the normal price. I absolutely love this place and Ill be back as much as I can. I also love how quiet it is during happy hour too.

We stumbled into here just to find a bathroom but man were we amazed! This is one of the coolest bars we have seen so far in Columbus. Not only is there draft menu huge and unique but they have ARCADE GAMES! This place is such a cool find and we cannot wait to come back!

This place is awesome! Nice combo of drinks, food, and my favorite..arcade games. I love that they offer most of the games free of charge for paying customers. My friends and I stopped there for my birthday. It was my first time and they did not disappoint. The food was pretty good too. One other thing, they offered actual table games too so that was cool. I will definitely be back. And I recommend them to others if interested in hanging out and playing some games.

I rented the space for a 40th birthday party after my original venue was sold a month before my event was to be held. Jason, the General Manager, contacted me shortly after inquiring about availability. He was very helpful in providing information, answering questions, and setting up the event details. Brewcadia ended up being a much better venue than the previously selected one. The games gave the guests an additional social activity. The food was very good and served in a rotated manner per my request. They also played great 80s music that went with the party vibe. The guests all commented on what a fun an unique party experience it was. I couldnt have been more pleased. Also, the bartender, Brittany, was an excellent bartender and hostess at the party. She mixed up some great drinks and was very attentive to the guests.

Cool mellow bar. Bartender was very nice gal.All the classic video games are here and free to play. They all worked well and had cup holders for each player, which was a nice touch.Tons of beers to choose from on tap, even though many were from brewery underneath it.Great place to chill and relax.

Awesome draft selection of almost entirely Ohio beers. A good variety of styles with local staples and some that might be hard to find bottles of or on tap anywhere else...Didnt eat, but all the food that came out for other customers looked bomb!Friendly and attentive bartendars that didnt mind taking the time to turn the TV to the channel my sport was on during a fairly busy Saturday night.And of course, free classic arcade games! Big Buck Hunter, Area 51, Frogger, Cruisin USA, Space Invaders, Pac Man, Mortal Combat and more ! Will definitely be back!

Staff is awesome, games (board and arcade) are on par and beer selection is on point. Do yourself a favor and during your visit try their Blood Thirst Wheat, if you havent tried it yet!

Review №20

Very cool bar-arcade! They have Street Fighter Third Strike. I highly recommend it.The only problem Ive had is that their hours are skewed late, and sometimes they are closed for private parties. I brought a date here once only to find it was closed for a private party that day. :(So we went to 16 bit.

Review №21

Could have been a really cool place. The atmosphere started out great but the service was horrendous. Weve been in town for a few days and this is by far the worst Ive seen. If the bartender doesnt like her job, she needs to move on. I would not recommend this place at all. Save your money

Pizza was half off and delicious, the house blood wheat ale was great too. Full great meal for 9 bucks, cant beat that at a convention.

Review №23

The cocktails are really good and the games are fun. Its a small bar that youd have to be looking for to find but its worth it. Arcade bars are great but typically obnoxiously packed & this one is never too packed. The drinks were really good & the bartenders are nice. Best part? They have food! Their beer pretzels are great! I also really enjoy that they participate with TouchTunes so you can play your favorite songs while enjoying the games, beer & food! I will be returning as soon as time permits!

Nice local place with retro arcade and board games to keepnyou entertained. Good selection of mini starters such as personal pizza which are very tasty. Prices not too extreme and partnership with Pelatonia for causes was an added bonus.

Fun games, quite small. They have a few games that you need to pay for, which is fine, but they dont have an atm to get cash out which is a bit inconvenient.

Large craft beer selection with fun arcade games set to free play. Note: pinball and beer pong games arent on Free Play. Food menu during Happy Hour (4-7pm) is a good deal. Perfect for a night on the town or a quick drink after work.

Review №34

The catch here is the cache of 80s and 90s arcade video games. There is a large selection of craft beers and ok food (we had pizza which was serviceable). If you want to drink good beer and play Space Invaders, Galaga, and Centipede in the Short North this is your spot.

This place is fun! Beer options are pretty good with good variety. The arcade is fun and playing these retro games were delightful. Not somewhere Id stay all day, but really fun for an hour or so. Food slection is minimal, but a good value and what I got was good.

Review №39

I love coming to this place. It has a nice chill atmosphere compared to some of the other arcades in town. The selection of arcade cabinets is a little small due to the size of the place, but they more than make up for it with their selection of board games, which I find similar places lack. The majority of staff Ive encountered is very friendly and accommodating, and the pizza here is great.

This place is so close to perfect. Amazing beer selection. Rather good Pizza. Free retro video games and pinball. They even have board games to play. But as the night guess on they keep raising the volume on the music. It gets so loud you cant talk and then good luck playing one of those games.

Good food and beer. Some classic games but missing decent shooter games.

This place is one of the best things in the Short North. Besides having Barleys beer on tap, the free video games, not crazy loud music, its a great place to hang out with friends. Go there.

I was only in Columbus for a few days, but after coming here one night, we decided this was our barcade of choice for the rest of week. Its very relaxed and can be a place to just hang out or a place to play board games. The beer was awesome and fair priced ($6 for a pint of craft beer brewed downstairs isnt bad). The free arcade games and SEGA Genesis (albeit the controller was a little broken) were great. Bartenders were very nice and quick to remember what you had, even when you came back the next day. I did not get the food, but wish I had. Definitely coming here next time Im in the city.

Free arcade games and board games with purchase of drink(s). Cant go wrong. Had a great experience. They also have a food menu, but we did not use it. Played Ticket to Ride while having drinks and conversing. Great place and must check it out if you havent!

This place is phenomenal. They have a LOT of taps, a great selection of games and ... yes, Skee-Ball!The fold-out holders for your pint while you play are a nice perk, too.The 40 taps include several favorites from Barleys downstairs, but the overall selection is really good. Great destination for your night out.

Its a small bar and arcade above the Barleys bar and restaurant. All arcade games are free and they have board games if you ask the bartender. They have NBA Jam, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Crusin USA, ETC. All the classic games from your usual arcade. Doesnt get too busy either, so theres usually open games to play.

Brewcadia offers solid beer selection and offers complimentary games. On my most recent visit the music played so loud conversing with friends was difficult. There also appeared to be only one Bartender despite being a busy Saturday night. The bartender provided good service.

Review №71

Great bar! Too bad we discovered it without time to go back. Its in a loft and holds about three dozen people. No reservations were needed for Thursday night, but I cant speak for Friday or Saturday. Free arcade games _except ping pong_ while youre drinking or eating, and the bartender was kind to those who were drinking N/A all night and to the rowdy among us ordering several rounds of shots. Comfortable tables for large tabletop games; the bar owns 3 dozen+ eurogames, and Exploding Kittens and Uno. Their website is a good place for additional information.

Take a stroll down memory lane with free play on a ton of old arcade games and skeeball while sipping from a selection of over 40 delicious local craft beers. I conquered X-Men and got a 500 in skeeball in the same night!
