What if we told you that there is a place where you could relive some of your fondest childhood memories? Remember all that time you spent hanging out at the local arcade? Nowadays, arcade bars offer you access to those video games you remember fondly from your past. Travel back in time when you visit Retro Game Bar, an arcade bar in Oregon.
Family-owned Retro Game Bar can be found in Portland. It advertises more than 1,000 video games for your playing enjoyment!
Retro Game Bar accepts donated games to continue building the onsite video library. If you purchase a membership, you receive a full year of free games, as well as a few guest passes too.
You will need refreshment while you game. Yovu Brew is creating a line of beers especially for Retro Game Bar. How cool is that?
Pixel Crush is a hazy IPA. Keep an eye out for more beers to come. And don’t you worry, you can continue playing games at the bar while you wait for your beverage.
Level up with a themed cocktail, and enjoy the outdoor patio when the weather is right.
You can often find a signature Slushee on tap, much like the Peach Beach, in honor of Mario Kart’s Princess Peach. Try the Kirby Your Enthusiasm cocktail, named for the little pink guy we all know and love. Attend a summer BBQ on the patio, sometimes with live music or a DJ.
Don’t go hungry during your marathon gaming sessions. Retro Game Bar cooks up some mean meals as well, often with Asian inspired flavors.
Sample the Chicken Skewers with Tzatziki, and rice, and the Greek Feta Salad with Honey Basil Dressing. Come in on Wingsday for a special price on wings and a beer. Pulled pork, burgers, and vegetarian options are also on the menu.
Unleash your inner gamer at Retro Game Bar, transporting you back in time for a moment to the 1980s and beyond. Have a drink, and a meal, and chill out with others that appreciate video games as much as you do. For hours and specials, visit the Retro Game Bar website and Facebook page. If you find yourself in Bend, Oregon, make time for a game – including pinball, and a beer, at Vector Volcano.
