Barcade - New York

Great. Less games at this location. Good part of a longer evening in St Marks.

A couple games were eating our tokens, but had no signs marking them broken. Not a huge deal, but never fun to waste money. Otherwise we had a grand night playing all the

Games are fun but have had frustrations with one of the bouncers. They’re not all like this, but one of the bouncers consistently has given me a hard time whenever I’ve come after work.

Tokens can be purchased from machines throughout the space at 0.25 cents each.. (4/$1, 20/$5... .Service at the bar and front door were good. Our ID's were checked upon entering at 3:30pm. Not sure if this was for all locations, or specfically for downtown as our ID's were NOT checked in midtown earlier that day.Great beer selection. Beer prices were fair (for NYC at about $9.
