HQ Nashville is a derivative of Chicago's highly popular beercade, and the nostalgic space is chock full of craft beer, free arcade games and a bar-food-friendly menu that's great for a night out on the town.
The HQ Beercade motto is quite literally lit in neon: "Don't grow up, it's a trap." It's a motto, a lifestyle, the rallying cry of all who visit this unique step back in time.
Inside, you'll find 30 vintage arcade games, a handful of pinball machines, a rotating number of craft beers on draft, craft cocktails and inventive food menus. With two floors and 6,500 square feet of space, it's a great spot for private events as well.
Look like fun? It's even better once you realize all the arcade games are free, and there's never a cover.
You must be 21+ to visit, but HQ Nashville is open every day of the week, every day of the year.
Keep an eye out for pop-ups and events at the arcade, too. HQ Nashville has been known to throw a killer Stranger Things party, and with inventive cocktails and dining options to boot, you'll never want to leave.
Come visit for yourself from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m. from Monday to Thursday, and from noon to 3 a.m. from Friday to Sunday. There's no need to grow up, Nashville. Just head to the arcade!
You can learn more about HQ Beercade with a visit to the arcade’s official Facebook page.
