Barcade..or a bar with old school video games


Now the concept of a barcade may seem kinda old to those on either coast...
Trends usually start in cali or ny and work their way to kc about two years later.

So okay..the concept is simple...dave and busters but in a bar..or an adults only chuckie cheese.

The idea is to attract a slightly older that doesnt frequent bars./ But has $$$..feels he's too old.
So the lure is arcade games from my childhood.

And this is where yelp comes in handy...i luv reading the reviews of the broken machines or slow assed service..or crappy bar food

It seems only two business models latched onto this trend...
Upscale hipster bars..
And wannna chuckie cheese places...
Now with this example there is a further separation
1. Places that offer bowling/go carts/lazer tag w the old school aracde. ..like a main event
2. Dive/lower class bars .. they have like 30 broken down machines..have terrible food and marked up drinks. I call this a fad bar

So my options are limited.. hanging out with hipsters or ....im certainly not gonna go to a shithole of a bar just to play pacman

Some may say then why not go to dave and busters..
Well it isnt exactly in my neighborhood...probably a good 45 minute drive.

Ironically these bars think they are gods gift...omg they have some old school games.

And even worse..they dont have the good ones..

Where is the missle command/ the stargate defender/ centipede/ pole position etc..
