YES! Two stories of games. <3

We have Ground Kontrol in Portland.

There is also a place called Barcadia in Dallas just like this. Plus - giant Jenga. Worth checking out fellow DFW peeps.
nedhead
Half price food on Mondays, fyi.
TheUnknownX
Does it have Metal Slug?
SwissArmyCake
Oh, there's Arkanoid. That's pret----HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK, I SEE XEVIOUS. WHERE IS THIS PLACE I MUST KNOW IMMIEDIATELY
tootiredtocare
Sweet! I can get drunk and play a bunch of old arcade games that are fun for like 5 minutes. Oh what a day!
CastrovalvanCelery
Oh man, original Mario Bros. That shit was amazing.
acannicc
It's in Quebec city and is called Le MacFly. Arcades are free also! The barman has the weirdest face tattoos but not much tattoo elsewhere
NovaKobra
We have a couple of these in Grand Rapids, MI. The Pyramid Scheme has more machines than Stella's, but Stella's has more variety.
MrStark1995
The first place I thought of when I saw these photos. I go to Kendall College and I am doing an ad campaign for The Pyramid Scheme right now
NovaKobra
Wah, no way! That's super badass. When will it be up? I want to check it out when it's done. :]
Ishwish
That's cool, google ground zero in Portland Oregon.
firebellys
You mean Ground Kontrol?
Ishwish
Yes I do! lol .-. long day was long.

I thought this was in Lakewood, Ohio at first. We just had 16-Bit Barcade open up.
f16crewchief
There's a cool one in Las Vegas called Insert Coins. The TV's at the bar are hooked to consoles.

I frequent Emporium Arcade in Chicago, there's nothing like slamming back some IPAs while kicking your friend's ass in Mortal Kombat
QueefMcGee
And slamming your friends backdoor after!? Amirite?
BeckyWithTheToeHair
I too frequent Emporium. ( ¬_¬ ) Someone has been on MK every time I stop in. And they were drinking IPA... http://imgur.com/m7rhVze
Tver937
What about HQ? The games are free.
AtomicPengWIN
I dont get how people enjoy IPA's. It sure as hell isn't for the taste that's for sure.
analjarvisandhisbandofbutlers
IPA's are the best tasting beers by far. Don't know what IPA's yo've had, but when you get a taste, most lagers and light ales don't cut it.
thegr3Ek
It is though. Acquired taste, just like anything- wine, black coffee, etc.
AtomicPengWIN
Blech. It's waaaaaay too hoppy for my liking.

Theres a Beercade in Omaha, NE. Awesome place! Quarter plays on everything
Justwarlockthings
Another Omahan here!

Who are you?! I too Omaha. And everyone knows everyone here so...
BabaGhanouj
Omaha is the 42nd largest city in the nation. But it has that small town feel to it.

I want to play :(

Headquarters Beercade in Chicago is dope, this is like a quarter of the size: http://hqbeercade.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_8668.JPG
Pharya
Personally I like the spattering of stools and tables in the shots above rather than purely have an arcade that owns an alcohol license
imgursresidentasshole
I was about to say, you haven't been to a arcade bar till you've seen headquarters in chicago. I've been drunk so much there.
JuiceBox1023
Love HQ!!
WoahShocksMyBrain
The 1up in Denver is pretty rad too, tons of games and a live music venue.
ihaxr
Don't forget about Emporium: http://emporiumchicago.com/

Yeah I'm a fan of emporium too
beccatherose
going there for my 21st in april.

wow. nice.
NotFatJustCultivatingMass
The only thing I'll miss about Chicago is Headquarters.
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
Lol it really sucks here. Fuck winter though seriously
petetopkevinbottom
Saying Headquarters is awesome doesn't even do it justice. Get drunk, play Mortal Kombat, stumble to Cheesies. That's a helluva night.
NeverEndingStoryMachine
As someone who moved from Chicago (Lakeview) because he couldn't find a job, this made me sad. And hungry for Cheesies.
ImTheGoddamnBatwoman
Oh god, Cheesies! The Tenderizer!
HangryWolf
OH! Hai Ellen!!!
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
Oh yeah. Or Blaze Pizza. But Cheesies is open late.
WalterWhiteWalker
Is Blaze really good? I got off at the Redline there everyday, but I've never stopped in. Hit up CBA tooo much though.
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
CBA is dope but dude. Trust me. Get to Blaze as soon as humanly possible. 11" for $7.99 as many goddamn toppings as you want. Super dope.
MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
DOES IT HAVE GALAGA?!?
OrionthecatAttack
Do you even have to ask??
MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
Sorry. I'm really obsessed with Galaga. I presume it is there.
OrionthecatAttack
Oh no problem, I think its one of the free games, too :)
MegaweaponOfTheLostWorld
OH MAN I WANNA GO THERE I WANNA GO THERE I WANNA GO THERE I WANNA GO THERE

Des Moines has the Barcadium. Free games on Sundays. Awww yisss.
OneWickedJig
is that the same or different than Up Down- another Des Moines Barcade!
lraskie
This one is down by the Hessen Haus and The Science Center.
OneWickedJig
Didn't know there was one there! You might see me there saturday night (;
Osgar
We've got a place like it in Columbus, OH. http://16-bitbar.com/ - awesome, and the games are set to free-play.
LawfulWaffle
A solid selection of games, too. One of my favorite hang-outs in Cbus.
somespazzoid
Yeah, fucking great place. I'm going to have to go back soon.
squirrelocaust
I love 16-bit and Dirty Franks!
LawfulWaffle
That's a date night in my house.
Osgar
Don't get me started, their Sriracha slaw! I'd get a tattoo of it if I were prone to bad decisions and no sense of regret!
SPAC3QUEEN
I work at the one in Lakewood.
ktaras1
I went opening day. It was packed. Are you a bartender then? I don't remember seeing dudes on the floor. (1/2)
ktaras1
How's the money? I can imagine people just wanting to play the free games and not be bothered to order a drink. (2/2)
dishonored2342
nice i was there like a month ago. probably gonna go back either this weekend of next weekend
SPAC3QUEEN
This Saturday is going to be my last shift. I have a day job and this was just to see if I'd enjoy a part time gig. Ill be around though!
frickfrickfrick
I went there opening weekend, such a diff atmosphere than other bars, great beer selection. Definitely going again when its not as bonkers.
ktaras1
We were there the same night then.
mighteee
16-bit and Dirty Franks are a great way to spend ALL OF YOUR PRECIOUS FREE TIME AND DOLLARS
trevstomp
Haven't had a change to get to this one yet, but great to see other ohio Imgurians!
CheeseburgerDreams
Just had a date there last week! Soo freaking sweet and right next door to Dirty Franks!
hakdragon
I've yet to go to the one in Columbus, but I've been to the one in Lakewood a few times. It's nice, but get's packed pretty quickly.
mighteee
Come to Columbus, get the Moscow Mule called the 'Dolph Lundgren'. It's awesome.
SPAC3QUEEN
I probably carded you!
Osgar
From a business perspective, best problem a bar can have. From a customer perspective - damnit, when's it my turn to play turtles in time?!
TheJiggy
The Lakewood one does get packed quickly, especially Fridays and Saturdays. Still a fun place to chill and drink and play! haha
SPAC3QUEEN
I probably carded you!
TheJiggy
haha you probably did! On a couple occasions too!
SPAC3QUEEN
Well I mean, I card everyone. But yea - im the short chick with blue/blond/pink/purple/brown hair at the door.
wessyfbaby
You had one chance to say 'barcade' OP and you fucking missed it. For shame.
LupusYonderboy
There are two places like this in towns that I've lived in (NYC & NOLA), one called Barcade and the other named Barcadia.
AnarLape
There's one in Williamsburg NY, but be prepared to be surrounded by hipsters.
ADSquared
It's ok, we'll get it on the repost
IRememberMyFirstBeer
3 Barcades in NYC area.
DoesThisSmellLikeChloroformToYou
They might not be able to, there's a chain which has locations in both new York and philly called barcade
