    Bar hopping on a Friday night led me and my fam at Barcade. Whats cool about this place is the old school arcade games and the extensive list of draft beers. I had the Newburgh which was pretty good. A sweet ale. I didnt love the vibe of the staff. Bartender was kinda rude and said that the drinks were taxed. I dont know, it was just off. We ended up having one drink and moved on. If u are looking for a arcade spot with all of the old retro arcade games from yester year i recommend but there are better bars in the area.

    Absolutely positively love this place. I love the vibe, the diversity , the drinks and the food. The crowd it brings in is mellow, the drinks are made well. The bartenders are cool and def know how to make a drink. The food is fricking delicious ! I ordered tacos, loaded pubs fries and a hot dog. all 10/10. made well delicious and brought straight to your table. I spent $20 on coins to play and I was playing for hours and still drinking and eating. highly recommend for anyone in the area or looking for a night out with friends .

    Great place with a bar and lots of games. It wasn't very crowded since I went on a Tuesday evening. The happy hour is from 4 to 7 pm and the beer and wines are all a dollar off. Tried their Junglebird cocktail, a rum based drink which was pretty good. The service was faster too. Lots of games like pin ball, pac man are available. Good experience overall.

    Dude I played vintage video games for a couple hours here and really took advantage of their $10 shot and beer special (not sure if that's a regular thing). Definitely going back for level 3 of Gauntlet Legends and some Mortal Combat.

    I've visited Barcade a few times on separate weekends and it's just not my thing, so I'm calling it quits. The small setup creates a too-packed house so you can't maneuver too well when you're there. There are other arcades to explore to avoid the unavoidable mad house that is Barcade. Forget getting a drink, it's impossible to get to a bartender as other reviews have mentioned. This might be a better place to visit during off hours, but I think I'll skip it when in JC.

    What a way to spend a night out and play video games! Great setup once you walk in, it's open and inviting. The bar is centrally located with many tap beer options available. Indoor seating with low and high tables, and outdoor tables. The pricing is reasonable, and more so for the tokens, and game play. A few issues are: -Some machines kept swallowing my tokens and didn't register the game. So it cost me more tokens than the game asks for. -Only video games are available. They don't have hands on games like a Dave-n-Busters (no bball, skeeball, etc). -There is a wait for certain games if you're interested in playing since they only have 1 available. Other than that this is a nice spot to grab drinks and play some old school video games. FYI: If you start a tab at the bar you can ask the bartender for tokens and put on your bill when you close out.

    I've been to Barcade a few times, but never to this location. Out the others I visited, this one was definitely the smallest, and most crowded. I think that the concept of this place is supppper smart. Arcade games that are nostalgic for adults plus alcohol and bar food, it makes total sense. I do wish that this location had some chairs or seating so that you could actually order food. I would have loved to grab a bite to eat from here because the food is pretty good, but it was so packed that there was no way that could happen. I couldn't get a bartenders attention if my life depended on it.. there was just so much going on. The games are always a fun time but a few of the machines were broken or took our coins and didn't work. Again, it was so packed that there was no way to contact or let anyone know. No shade to Barcade because I do love it but I would not come back to this location.

    I'm giving it four stars for fun. And beer. Unfortunately the machines don't work at times BUT they are good for the return so that's cool. It's an easy breezy dive-y joint with video games. I mean, cmon. Go. Turn into the big kid that you are. Have fun & relax. Grab a few beers. Play a few games. Order the nachos if you feel so compelled but there are plenty of spot to eat right outside so I say come here for the chill vibes and to be where you're allowed to be a big kid again. Have a few beers & don't judge so much. Cheers...to good times.

    This was $7 worth of Chips & Guac. Not worth it. Guac was good but this is what you pay $1.50 for at Chipotle.

    Come for the beer and games, not for the food. They have a good happy hour that borderlines great thanks to being until 7PM, unlike most other places in JC. $1 off beers and we'll drinks isn't bad! The beer selection is off the charts. Constantly changing, always fresh, it's one of the best parts of Barcade, hands down. Oh and the games! The food - we'll take a look at my pic. $7 or $8 for a one tiny scoop of guac is ridiculous. the chips were stale, too! With that said, the guac WAS good. Definitely stop by Barcade.

    They play Zeppelin here. And have Tetris. And serve alcohol. It's basically a win-win on all counts.

    This was my second (maybe third) visit to Coexist, and unfortunately, it has been a disappointment…read moreevery single time. Against my better judgment, I decided to give it one more shot and it just confirmed everything I already suspected. Total waste of money, it's not worth it. Most of the gaming systems have issues: the remotes are barely functional, some consoles aren't even fully set up, and a few aren't signed into accounts so you can't even play properly. The foosball table is completely broken, and the pool table is wobbly and unstable. The atmosphere is just as bad. There's no music playing, which makes the entire place feel dull and lifeless. The employees seem completely uninterested and not helpful at all -- whether it's empty or packed, the service and vibe don't get any better. When it's crowded, it's even worse because there's barely any space to move around or enjoy yourself. Bottom line: I won't be coming back. If you're looking for a better gaming spot, BrookLAN is miles ahead of this place.

    Went here for a show that was happening in the basement/ speakeasy of the venue on Saturday night…read more This place looks pretty good if I was into gaming and stuff. The vibe and decor is there. Service lacked a little, as there was only 1 bartender and the drink I had tasted good but was on the weak side. So much so that my next drink was a mocktail. I also ordered the sliders which were basically glorified White Castle mini burgers. The power went out maybe 2 or 3 times while I was there which was weird!

Midland Ave…read more Paramus, NJ 07652 Halloween takes places l once a year, but you can celebrate the spooky holiday every day of the year as soon as you enter at your own risk. The 18-hole miniature is dimly lit with a horror resemblance of night and gloom. While you are working on your putts, admire the neat Halloween decorations while listening to club music. It would have fit better into the scenery if only Halloween music was played, but the tunes are still enjoyable. Whether or not you are an experienced miniature golf does not bear any significance as the primary goal is to have a great time! In addition to the golf course, a variety of arcade machines and carnival style games are available. Although the graphics are detailed and entertaining, the cost per game is costly and the playing time does not last long. If you have an hourish to spare, I would highly recommend exploring this golf course. It is family oriented and geared for all age groups. As a bonus, there is an axe throwing range conveniently located next door if you need another hour of recreation. #monsterminigolf #halloween #paramusnj #monsterminigolfparamus
