Start saving those quarters! Well, you don't have to really, but you just might want to for old time's sake. If you spent your afternoons and weekends plugging quarters into your favorite games at the local arcade, you're going to love this arcade bar in Pennsylvania. It boasts an impressive selection of old-school arcade games, a six-lane bowling alley, and a delicious menu of food and drink.
Fill your pockets with quarters, like you did back in the good old days, before you head over to Decades in Lancaster, a 15,000 square foot arcade, bar, and restaurant.
When you walk through the front doors of the massive arcade, you might feel as though you've stepped straight back into the 80s. (The only difference is today you'll have to use tokens to play your favorite video games. Each token costs a quarter.)
You can use the cash machine to exchange your dollars, fives, and tens for tokens.
Head straight over to the more than 30 classic arcade games, where you'll find everything from Donkey Kong to Ms. Pac-Man.
How long do you think you'll need at Skeeball until you beat the high score? Other popular games include Frogger, Mortal Kombat, and Mario Kart II.
All that game playing will probably lead to a bit of fatigue and hunger. You're in the right place. Grab a seat and browse the menu, brimming with delicious drinks and meals.
The menu features vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Order a scrumptious dish for the whole table. Fried green tomatoes, wings, and fried soft pretzel bites are among your choices.
You'll also have an appealing array of entrees from which to choose, including burgers, roast chicken, and Carolina pulled pork.
If you need a bit of a rest before dessert, bowl a game or two at the six-lane bowling alley. Bowling currently costs, as of November 2019, $6 per person for each hour of play. Shoes are $3.
Beat the high score on your favorite old-school arcade game at Decades, open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Or, stop by Friday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m., or Sunday from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
