PRESS START to join our team!
We're all about classic arcade games, craft beer (tap fresh, no cans or bottles), and loud fun.
We built it this way.
Barcade® is hands-on by design. Since opening our first location in an old metal shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2004, we've grown to nine locations across six states, all still owned and operated by the original co-founders.

At Barcade, we don't just serve food, we fuel a crowd that's here for the best craft beer, vintage arcade games, and a great time. If you're organized, detail-oriented, and passionate about preparing food the right way every time, you'll fit right in.
