The Old School Arcade In Georgia That Has An Impressive Hidden Food Menu

Have you ever thought to yourself, you know what would pair spectacularly well with this rousing game of Space Invaders? A Pork Belly Bowl with scallions, sesame seeds, and sweet hot sauce. Okay, maybe you have never thought that exact thought before, but you likely will once you visit this game bar in Georgia. Not only can you play all the classic arcade games you know and love, but you can also feast on craft food that is not what you’d expect to find at an arcade bar.

Joystick Gamebar is one of the coolest classic arcades in Georgia with some of the best games from your childhood.

You can play Tekken, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Terminator 2 pinball, Galaga, NBA Jam, Mrs. Pacman, Centipede, and more all in one spot.

But believe it or not the arcade games are only half of the fun that is Joystick Gamebar—the other half comes from the food!

First and foremost, you can snag some serious Korean street food right inside the game bar, which includes crab rangoon, spicy pork tacos, short rib bowls, and more.

Indulging in teriyaki tacos as you spend time conquering Raiden? Sounds like a perfect Friday night to us.

What’s even better is that on certain event nights throughout the month, different restaurants will take over, allowing you to chow down on a variety of food from all over Atlanta.

Like that time they served up delicious enchiladas from 2 Pieces of Toast ATL.

Or when 95th St. Tacos came through and gave gamers a chance to fill up on carne asada tacos, chipotle chicken tacos, and cajun fish tacos.

So while you might be coming for the craft cocktails, from the drafts to the boozy slushies, and the housemade gems…

…to the endless afternoons spent mastering your favorite games from yesteryear…

…you’ll likely be back to Joystick Gamebar for the under-the-radar deliciousness that is the food menu.
