Barcade

Barcade is a bar in Brooklyn, New York featuring 20+ vintage arcade games from the 1980s and draft beer from local and regional microbreweries. It is located at 388 Union Avenue in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, near the Lorimer stop on the L train.

The bar was opened in 2004 in a former metal shop and won immediate acclaim for its unique combination of vintage arcade games and rare American craft beers. Highlights from the arcade game collection include Tapper, Q*bert, Donkey Kong, Tetris, , Centipede, Super Mario Bros., , Berzerk, Rampage, and Star Wars. Many local beers are available on draft, including ones from the Brooklyn Brewery, Sixpoint Craft Ales, Chelsea Brewing, Dogfish Head, Victory Brewing, and Heavyweight Brewing.cite news | last =Baertlein | first =Lisa | title =Old-school games in "barcade" renaissance | work =Yahoo!

Fünde Razor

Barcade hosts an annual event called Fünde Razor, an officially-sanctioned fundraising event for Penny Arcade's Child's Play in which they dedicate a special area of the bar to playing the video games "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero". Proceeds from the event go to the gaming-related charity. [ [http://www.funderazor.com/ Funde Razor] official site.]
