A friend and I stopped by Barcadia last Thursday, which apparently opened quietly a few weeks ago. I didn't know until I got a MySpace bulletin about the place's Wednesday draft special -- $3 and you get to keep the glass.
The place is pretty cool. They've got 1940's pin-up art on the walls, a huge patio and of course, lots of old-school arcade games. We saw about a half-dozen lined up against the wall: Super Mario Bros, Gallaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong Junior and more. They also have three skee-ball machines, which make these cool 80's laser sounds. Everything's a quarter, just like the olden days. But there are no tickets and stuffed animals.
They have 24 beers on tap -- including Lone Star -- and are adding a pub menu soon. I predict that patio's going to be hopping this summer.
