Barcade Fishtown

Barcade's Fishtown location fills a two-story brick building on Frankford Avenue with rows of restored vintage arcade cabinets and pinball machines alongside a rotating list of craft beer. The original Barcade concept, credited with popularizing the arcade bar format when it opened in Brooklyn, pairs the games with a taproom-style bar rather than treating them as a side attraction. The Fishtown location takes private party bookings through its own online booking system, handling requests for birthdays, work outings, and other group gatherings that combine drinking with a night of classic games. The space keeps its industrial storefront character inside and out, with games lining the walls and communal seating between cabinets. It sits along Frankford Avenue's stretch of Fishtown bars and shops, a few blocks from the Market-Frankford Line, and the taplist rotates regularly with new craft and import beers.
