Shout out to bartender Dylan for excellent service and creative, well balanced cocktails. The logo hand-stamped onto each ice cube is a clever detail. Good craft beer selection as well. No substantial food available but we got a bar snack of Whipped Feta with crunchy pita chips, which was savory, airy and quite elevated. Games are super fun, even if I could only excel at Pac Man based on muscle memory from my youth.

Loved the cocktail menu here! Also loved being able to play a few old school games. I really want to rate this a 4.5 because multiple games ate an extra coin or two (not the ones pictured), but the drinks and service at the bar were really top notch!

I sent about 2 hours here. Classic arcade. Brought back many memories. Drinks are priced well.

Great bar, really enjoyed the old arcade games, pinball, and especially the cocktails. The Devil’s in the Details was my favorite drink, it was perfectly balanced and well crafted. The atmosphere was great and it was extremely clean. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Burlington.

This is a perfect bar: - They carry many world class beers both on draft and in cans/bottles, including many from Hill Farmstead, The Alchemist, and Lawson's. - They list their menu on Untappd and regularly update it. - Their physical menu shows what's coming next. - They offer small (5oz pours). - They excellent cocktails as well. Our favorite was probably the clarified milk punch. We were particularly impressed by how they use an unusually clear ice cube. It made me more critical of cocktails everywhere else. - Both indoor and outdoor. Indoor also has an area they sometimes keep the wall-windows open. - 20+ arcade games. I visited while traveling and usually I take a "checklist" approach, probably to a fault, hitting every place exactly once. But here, on a 5 day trip, we visited 3 times.

Pretty awesome Barcade, with good selection of classic games to play for a great price! Drinks are average price and a good selection for most. It was super crowded but still pretty easy to find games to play, especially because everyone is always rotating. Only annoying thing is showing vaxx proof but was not a problem for us - make sure to have a copy of your card on your phone or in print.

Nice bar/arcade with more than 5 working pinball machines including a few Stern's and a DataEast. They have unique and interesting drinks as well. They also have an extensive beer menu and a cheese plate. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with an interest in pinball. Only issue I had as an archivist was that the menu featured acidic paper and non-rustproof brads 😉

Great place with amazing cocktails. We only played a few of the arcade games but the place is really well run and organized. The drinks were awesome and reasonably priced and there was a great beer selection.
