Barcade

Barcade
1326 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107

Challenge your industry peers in this nostalgic setting of 1980s token-operated video games, pinball machines, an old-school photo booth, and more at Philly’s arcade bar concept. Enjoy a full bar with a variety of spirits and cocktails and fun and deliciously creative pub fare, all within walking distance of the Loews Hotel Philadelphia.

Barcade® is the originator of the arcade bar concept and the largest operator of arcade bars in the United States. Barcade locations feature 40 to 75 video games and pinball machines, mostly from the classic period of the 1980s, as well as 25 to 30 American craft beers on draft. In addition to beer, Barcade locations offer a full bar with craft spirits, cocktails, and creative variations on classic pub food. (The food is really good.) Casual dress is acceptable.

PHLCVB ambassadors will be available to assist and direct guests with walking instructions to/from Barcade.
