Quoted from Barron:Pour Me: a Whiskcade
Whisk? I think that could be misinterpreted 
Quoted from Barron:Deleted post
Yup, a few places ran into trouble because they used the name "barcade", which is trademarked.
Do you own the name “Barcade”?
Yes, Barcade is a registered federal and international trademark.Why do you call yourselves “The Original Arcade Bar”?
We are certainly not the first bar in history to have arcade games in it. However, we opened in October 2004 with a business model specifically aimed at combining a craft beer bar and a classic arcade. Our original location is widely credited as the inspiration behind the current arcade bar trend and for popularizing the concept.

Quoted from jwilson:Yes, but that's not a proper English word, it's a portmanteau. So, it's a defensible trademark phase.
Microsoft Windows is trademarked--whether or not something is a real word doesn't really seem to have an impact on filing a trademark for it.
