Welcome to 16-Bit BarArcade, a vibrant gaming sanctuary located in the heart of Cincinnati at 1124 Main St. This unique bar combines nostalgia and indulgence, offering a playful atmosphere where retro gaming meets a dynamic cocktail scene. As you step inside, you are welcomed by the sweet sounds of classic arcade games, inviting you to relive your childhood while enjoying a meticulously crafted drink.
At 16-Bit BarArcade, the cocktails are nothing short of an adventure. Each drink tells a story and packs a flavorful punch. For those looking for something truly special, I highly recommend the Totally Bitchin' cocktail. This delightful blend of Winnie Cooper Berry vodka, peach schnapps, and a medley of fruity flavors is a nostalgic trip to summer days past. At just US$10.00, it’s also a fantastic deal, especially during the tempting two-for-one special on Wednesdays and Fridays until 7 PM.
If you prefer something a bit more rebellious, the Cheech Marin is a must-try. Infused with reposado tequila, tangy lime juice, and agave nectar, it showcases a well-balanced concoction that dances on your palate. For a splash of whimsy, don’t miss the Carrie Fisher, a vibrant mix of coconut rum, blueberry vodka, and blue curacao—it’s as fun to drink as it is to say! Each sip transports you to another realm, just like the gaming nostalgia that fills the space.
For something refreshing, try the The Starman, which unites rainbow twist sucker flavors with pink lemonade and Sprite. If you’re feeling adventurous, venture into the realm of slushies with the Game Over slush puppie. Here, you can pick your favorite slush flavor and enhance it with a choice of liquor, making each drink tailored to your liking.
Beyond cocktails, 16-Bit BarArcade is a fantastic gathering place to relive your favorite gaming moments with friends. The ambiance is lively, the staff is energetic, and the array of arcade games ensures that there’s never a dull moment. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just looking to kick back with a great drink, this bar has something for everyone.
So, if you find yourself in Cincinnati and desire a perfect blend of nostalgia and flavor, head over to 16-Bit BarArcade. Grab your friends, challenge each other to a game, and sip on some of the best cocktails the city has to offer. You’ll certainly leave with both a full belly and cherished memories.
They don't serve food here but you're welcome to bring food in and eat it there. There are four levels but there is am elevator. This place was amazing! The arcade games are all free. You do have to pay for the pinball machines and duckpin bowling, which is so fun! We had such a good time on our trip that we came back the next day!
This was a great date night for couples. We had a blast. The drinks were fun and delicious.
This place is so much fun. Pinball, arcade games, and duckpin bowling. I think it was 3 or 4 floors if I remember correctly. Huge place. Good variety of beer. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Just lots of fun for everyone
The new kid in Indianapolis! Great place! Lots of space perfect for date night! Best part is if your a parent you can leave the kids behind for the night! 21 and over only. Except Sundays because under Indiana law kids can be there. Can't wait to go back! Oh lastly bring your fur baby!! They are fur baby friendly!!!
This is a must visit for anyone. They had a vast array of classic arcade games they will take you back in time. These games were free to play. They also have a good variety of pinball games which cost only a dollar. It had several floors at this location all with different activities, along with a bar on each level. Make time to visit!?
The listing is confusing until you get there and realize it's the greatest thing invented. This is the listing for Mechanical Pin Company. Over the Rhine barcade with duck pin bowling, dog-friendly, plenty of (mainly Stern) pinball--very well maintained and friendly staff. It's worth the paid street parking. Five floors of stuff better than any casino.
4 stories of awesomeness! It was so nice to finally find an arcade bar in the US, I've only come across them in Canada. I loved that my son's were sort of able to experience what it was like being in an arcade in the 90's.
Really fun place!! They had my favorite game. High score on Mappy!
