The Archives Arcade Bar In Vermont Will Take You Back In Time
Arcade bars were all the rage in the 1980s and even the 1990s. While they started to see a decline during the 2000s, there’s recently been an upsurge in new arcade bars popping up. In fact, Burlington, Vermont is home to a pretty spectacular one that features many popular games from the 1980s and 1990s. Head there for the games and stay for their extensive beer list and artisan cocktails, this is a bar to add to your next night out.



They also have a few pinball games that are remakes from some of the classic ones.

Whether you were born in the Pac Man era or Mortal Kombat era, these classic games will take you back in time.


Many of the beers on tap are from local brewers, but the bar also keeps a good amount of other major craft beers on tap from different cities.


It contains a variety of cheeses from local creamery, Jasper Hill, along with some crackers, almonds, and fruit spreads.

The Archives is open from 4 PM – 2 AM Monday – Friday and 12 PM – 2 AM Saturday – Sunday.
