What exactly are you planning to do with this information?

I have been told before that it is not to drum up business... Only to have people harassing location owners to buy games and try to influence them to buy direct rather than work with the operator they already have.

Not saying you are doing this, but curious what you really need a list for. Seems strange to me to need to make up a list for something that has obviously happened and in your local area you already know all of the spots.

This is a nice website. I used it to find specific games I wanted to play before making purchase decisions.

Headquarters in Chitown.

Pinballmap is probably your best bet. Will need to look up the locations and see if they are barcades though.

Arcadium in Lexington KY is another. 2014 I think.

My suggestion to use pinballmap is because you don’t have to wait and hope this thread explodes with hundreds of comments to get you the type of data you’re looking for. Lots of locations on pinball map say that they are a bar. Unsure? Google that location. Might take a few hours, but you’ll get the quantity of data you’re looking for way faster.

zero barcades in Madison, but apparently 2 of them opening sometime soonish (looking forward to it but not sure Madison is able to support that business model? due to size of the city/populus).
In the past 5 years there are 6 new places to play in Madison. 5 of them are locations with 4 plus games in single bars. 1 of them is a pay to enter arcade.

In Milwaukee region there i 1 new pay to play arcade, 1 brand new barcade, and supposedly 2 more opening in the next year.

Others can chime in about CHI, Twin Cities, and Iowa if they want as they will have more particular knowledge.

If you really want to get accurate data then you need to filter the pinball map or pinside map for locations with > "X" machines and then data mine.

It should not be that hard and in general the past 5 years has seen new barcades in every major city/ outlying area of a city. COncentrate your search on the big cities and you will find the majority of them.

You could probably ask Robin for a data dump of this index >> https://pinside.com/pinball/map/where-to-play/index/united-states
or copy and paste into excel (page by page will take a bit of effort) and then sort. That gives you the date of creation on the map and number of games.

Personally, for me to call anything a real "bar arcade" they have to have atleast half a dozen pinball machines, hell even 2 or 3 haha, but zero doesn't cut it...

Reset has 2 locations in toledo, around 2015 and 2016

What is your definition of barcade?

A bar with any arcade/pinball games?

A bar with 3+ arcade games, but off in a corner somewhere

A bar that has x arcade games and they are a prominent fixture / bar is built around arcade theme.

Really? Why?

2 years ago there was very little where I live. Some round-1s and 82

Now in the Los Angeles area we have Ayci gogi, 82 and further down south OC mission control. There is no lack of a destination, like before.

If you are in Los Angeles. I like ayci Gogi. Best pinball available on the market. All ready to play.

Pinball maps has a thourough listing and good reviews. In my area.

I would start there, and then look for exceptions, that are not listed there.

I'd love to open a barcade type place but it really seems like all work to own one.

Still, maybe...

Craig,

More than most can possibly imagine in Portland, OR.
Seattle has its own set of locations.

Here is a website for your research.

Look up pinball museum in Asheville, NC and there's one in Hendersonville, NC too.
The Asheville location serves beer and has been open for a while (A few years)
The Hendersonville location (owned by the same person) just opened in December I think,
not sure about the alcohol license in that one.
Hope this helps.

No bar no barcade.

I love Hall of Fame, but they have no alcohol.

Cobra in Phoenix is a barcade. Great bar. Arcade games, not enough pinball for me.

Bonus round is another in Phoenix.
Unfortunately no pinball.

Tilt in Tempe has beer has arcade.
Unfortunately too many redemption games for me.

Tilt has a ton of great pinball's in nice shape. Regular tournament s

Oh, there's abari in Charlotte NC

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/abaricharlotte-nc

There's a 16 bit in Cleveland, Happy dog, and b side, Superelectric (I don't think they serve alcohol but there is a bartender serving other drinks), and also a 16 bit in Cincinnati.

I could name a lot more places but if your list requires it to be a "bar", there are a lot of places that actually advertise they are a retro arcade that is NOT a bar.

This place is awesome!

It's interesting that you have several in Seattle, include a Full Tilt (Capital Hill) location that isn't even open yet, but you are missing some obvious ones, like Shorty's. For Seattle area, you can reference

It's not just for barcades however. Most serve alcohol, but not all.

Have you made it to the Dublin location yet? They need to get their act together, almost every pinball had an issue.

Strictly for barcade I would go with vfw in Ann arbor, haha. I think they had alcohol. Besides that I like level one in Columbus. Good selection of pins and I don't get hit up by bums for drugs like at arcade super awesome.

There is also Stonehenge in Akron. They have a ton of pins and serve alcohol, but they are actually a bowling alley. Not sure when they got their first pin, but I bet a while ago

If it were open to the public it might count

All real arcades historically have pinball, so...
I personally would very rarely if ever go to a bar of just video games, unless to play something like Killer Queen.

The Circuit in Richmond, VA opened in 2017

Kiito's Brewery, 608 w 700 s, Salt Lake City Ut opened in 2017

Not at a computer at the moment to better figure out year est., but Arcade Bar here in Gainesville has about 15-16 or so pins + a few pins across the street at The Top (owned by the same I believe). Unfortunately no league here that I'm aware of, but would love if there was.

Paramount, 200 20th St. N., Birmingham, AL 35203, opened in 2013

Why the hell do you always have to be so negative? I honestly just don't get you at all.......smfh.

I don't know if your accepting Canadian locations but there is Bartari (2015) I think and Pokeys pinball Cafe (2017) both in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I tried to plan out an IFPA event with Hal but it never panned out there...

Darn. Wouldn't mind a heads up if there's any chance for something to materialize. I had heard a year+ ago from someone that's friends with Hal that there was some talk of a league starting, but haven't heard such a thing since.
