Richmond Draftcade

So much fun all the retro games that we loved as kids. Stays open late and it was $10 for a bracelet and let the fun begin. Highly recommend this place for a nostalgic date. Will be back for more fun

We had fun lowkey at Draftcade! We went there Wednesday at 6:30pm and stayed until 9:30pm. There weren't many people there- which we liked. We're over 40 yrs old, so we remember arcades and it was interesting playing them. Only 3 weren't working. There's a TRUE airhockey table in the original monster size they used to be. Playing that was fun and took energy. The pinball machines are late 80s- 90s style with more mini ramps and odd bonuses, only the Buck Roger's machine was more traditional. All were fun. All the machines are vintage and have wear on the surface and graphics, but that's how they ended up in 70s-80s arcades and drive-in food courts. **FOOD- The food was TERRIFIC! I had a huge General Tso chicken sandwich. With pickled jalapeño on the side. My sister's burger was excellent. We took home tastey funnel cake fries. **DRINKS- Go for the draft beer options. We had novelty cocktails that were tastey, but were light on the alcohol. Donkey Kong and Frogger- $11-13 each- my sister is a lightweight drinker and even she didn't get s buzz. Lol. **SERVICE- Service was great! Everyone was super nice and our food came fairly quickly. We played games while it was being prepared and one of the hosts ( who was also the bartender ) came to get us when it was done. Bill was $66 (without tip and not including$10 armbands). I don't mind this because we ordered meal, pricier (than beer) cocktails and dessert- which is why the price went up. I did tip additionally because the service was really good and chill atmosphere! ***Fun time! Great Food! I know they'll be some people who are like-" ok....this isn't all that!" Take them to goofy ax throwing or the black light and idiot light fillee laser bowling alleys. If you want an interesting combo of [Not-so]Dive Bar + Arcade experience , this is a great place.

I must say the pricing is the best you’ll find. $10 for free play on all games. 80’s radio music station playing some fun themes. A decent bar setup. Only issue I found were with a few Pinball machines not working correctly. Hand sanitizer stations through-out the area which I feel helps add cleanliness. Week nights seem to be a much more relaxing vibe in which I felt more enjoyable over a chaotic weekend in which massive crowd traffic. Over all it was a nice experience and would highly recommend visiting.

Fun arcade with a bar and bar food. You can just pay admission to play as many games as you want. You don’t have to buy food and drinks.

We just celebrated our son’s 4th birthday & it was epic! Daniel & Luke were on point every step of the way w/ helping me set up and reserving tables and getting all 28+ people accommodated w/ drinks, wristbands & food. Moms & Dads this is the spot to host your next birthday party! We were able to bring in a bakery made cake (Pearls Bake Shop..it’s the best) and order affordable food baskets of fries and corn dog nuggets for the kids. Parents got to enjoy drinks and shrimp at the bar. The kids got to play unlimited video games and run around w/ each other as we all listened to amazing 80s music in the background. Super Fun evening from 4-7 on a Friday night!!! Thanks guys for a great atmosphere and a night we don’t ever want to forget!💙
