Travel Back To The 80s At Arcadium Bar, A Retro-Themed Adult Arcade In Kentucky

Arcadium Bar in Lexington, Kentucky offers a unique combination of classic video games, a well-stocked bar, and top-notch food.

There are quite a few ways to enjoy a fun night out in Kentucky! Especially if you're looking for great food and drink. You could head to any of our favorite restaurants, or you could step back in time and enjoy a night out while also reliving your glory days from the 80s!

Arcadium Bar in Lexington is not just a great place to go if you love video games, it's also a destination that stands out as a great place for food and drinks.

Thriving since 2012, unlike other "arcade" bars, the video game set up here is not intended to be the main event.

Rather than ringing bells and the sounds of beeping and booping, the games are lined up along the wall to play if you choose.

But at the same time, it's clear to see that this is a game-play destination for many people!

With a rotating offering, things are always exciting here. And they always have the classics. Over the years they've featured games like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Punch-Out, Super Mario Brothers and Frogger. In addition to many more!

But even if you're not trying to relive your arcade glory days, you're sure to have a great time. The bar is hoppin' and very well-stocked. The Bourbon Review even recognized them as being one of the top 55 bourbon bars in the the United States.

There's also plenty to enjoy if you love a cold beer. Their beer list is among the longest we've seen.

Prefer something a little earlier in the day? The Bloody Mary selection is delicious, strong and features some truly unique garnish.

And if you're hungry from all that high-scoring order some grub to keep you going.

This isn't just run-of-the-mill bar food. These are top-notch goodies to keep you full all night.

Arcadium Bar is open Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday from 4 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., Saturday from 2 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. You can learn more about them here or visit them on Facebook. The bar can be reached on 859-317-9712.
