Old North Arcade Bar

My husband and I absolutely love Old North Arcade! It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and fun with a great bar vibe. We tried the Teenage Mutant Turtle-themed cocktail, and it was fantastic—definitely a must-try! They also have a good selection of beer, which is great if cocktails aren’t your thing. The best part is that some of the games are on free play, though there are some you need to pay for. They have a machine for coins, but we found it’s easier to just bring your own. Overall, it’s a great spot for a fun night out, whether you’re a gamer or just looking for a unique place to hang out. Highly recommend!

We stopped on our way to a concert and this was an absolutely fantastic choice. Lots of selections, tons of games and super friendly service. We would absolutely go back

Great place to hang out, kill some time. I appreciate the patio space.. Never ordered any food there myself. Fan of all the stand up arcade games & pinball machines.. I like coming here on my days off work.

Super kid friendly on Sunday afternoon and still fully functional adult beverage station (aka bar). This is an awesome twist on the newer gaming places and I would add it is fantastic. They don't serve food on Sunday, but so allow you to bring food in!!! The staff is friendly and the gaming is exceptional. Pinball is cheap and honestly, the drinks are on par with any place out there. The building is well air conditioned and has a great vibe. The music wasn't too loud and there was plenty of seating available. They had a multi room layout so it wasn't overly loud in any one area. So glad we had a rainy summer day that washout our baseball plans and we happened to be close! We will most certainly be back!

Located in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, the Old North Arcade welcomes gamers and nostalgia enthusiasts alike. As you approach, you'll be greeted by an iconic mural adorning the building, hinting at the excitement that awaits inside. A nostalgic haven featuring classic games like air hockey, Mortal Kombat, and Donkey Kong - but wait, there's more! They've ingeniously repurposed an old vault to house Tron, illuminating the controller to make you feel like you’ve stumbled on the gem just as Flynn did. They also offer game-inspired alcoholic drinks such as iridescent Mermaid Tears, Yoshi’s Island, and Hagrid’s Butterbeer making it a truly unique experience. Operating hours provide ample time to immerse yourself in retro gaming bliss.
