A Visit To This Arcade Bar In Minnesota Will Take You Back In Time

Do you remember the days when the change in your pocket was your ticket out of the house and a trip for your mind into a Centipede game in the dirty backroom of a department store? Back in the 1980s, Atari made some of the first fixed-shooter arcade games and Centipede was one of the most commercially successful. Today, arcade games have come so far in their technological advancements, making the ones from the Golden Age pale in comparison. But some people want that old-time feeling again. So what are you waiting for? Travel back in time and visit this arcade bar in Minnesota. While Punch Bowl Minneapolis may look ultra-modern, it offers a dynamic selection of fun from yesteryear, and an eclectic selection of art, neon signs, karaoke, and light fixtures. Follow along and find out what one of the best arcade bars in Minnesota offers.

Located near downtown and Target Field, a trip to this eclectic, custom 25,000-square-foot exciting space allows for a memorable experience.

Drinks anyone? The bartenders here know their stuff from a Mason Mule with vodka, fresh lime juice, and Gosling's Ginger Beer; to a Strawberry Rhubarb Fizz with house-made strawberry syrup, Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters, and sparkling water.

The vintage arcade area is card-operated and conveniently loaded at a nearby kiosk.

Take a break with some delicious hotdogs served Minnesota-style.

Move on over and give your attention to an old-fashioned game of Skee-Ball.

Or grab some friends and try your hands at the foosball table.

It's time for some Cauliflower Nachos made with chips, queso Oaxaca, sliced jalapenos, roasted cauliflower, and pickled onions. And for you wordsmiths, enjoy a giant game of scrabble.

If you would rather have the Siracha Peanut Fries drizzled with hoisin sauce, sriracha, garlic mayo, pickled red onions, pickled chiles, cilantro, and crushed peanuts — bowl your friends over and share some on the lanes.

If you go for Happy Hour, be sure to indulge in this addictive homemade guacamole dip.

When was the last time you played darts?

Another happy hour feature is the fancy punch, served in a classic punch bowl with floating fruit.
