I’m not saying it took any genius, but Barcade was perfectly named. The atmosphere? A large hall with 20+ wind-powered 80s video-games lining the walls.  The Beer?  23 taps, 1 nitro and one cask all brimming with an excellent selection of U.S. Microbrews.  All-in-all, it’s pretty overwhelming.  Here are Beerlord’s recommended pairings:

Arkanoid and Allagash
Berzerk and Blue Point
Greenpoint and Gallaga
Super Mario and Sixpoint
(Do you remember where the star is hidden in 1-2? Even after 5 beers and 20 years, I did).

So get the points and DO NOT leave without playing the rare “Tapper”, an 80s arcade game in which the goal is to catch the beers as they slide down the pixilated bar.  In truth, the game kind of sucks, but when in Rome …
