As far as I know, this Benson location is the original. We love going here to play the video games and pinball. The beer is a serious bonus. One can also get a reasonable cocktail. Worth noting. Good barkeeps, too. The games are old school, and I'm old, so I love this place. Bless 'em for letting me live in my youth for a moment. Cost is reasonable, too. Parking is Benson. Depending on when you go, it could be great, or packed. YMMV. Will definitely return. read more

I've walked past here so many times over the years and finally made a visit. The machines take quarters so it really feels like an old school arcade experience. Couple that with an amazing beer selection and you'll have a fun night. I'll make more of an effort to come back! read more

Beercade is a super fun bar in the Benson neighborhood that lets you have a few adult beverages and play nostalgic arcade games at the same time (even SKEE-BALL, my favorite!) There is an upstairs that has the main bar and best games. There are a few booths in the middle of this area, too, so you can take a break (if you're lucky enough to get a booth) between game sessions. They also have a basement that is full of more games, and they sometimes open it up for a small cover that gives you "free play" all day (no quarters required!) You can also rent out the basement for events, which I've been to a few down there (one birthday, one wedding). It would be a super fun place to hold your next event or party. Lastly, they have a VERY wide variety of drinks and beer, so you'll definitely find at least something you like. If you are a fan of old school arcade games, good beer/cocktails, and a bustling good time, Beercade would be right up your (Skee-Ball) alley! read more

Beercade is always a good time. This is the perfect place for a winter date night. The drinks are typically served quickly, depending on how busy they are. If you go at the right hours, you can even get complimentary quarters for game play with the purchase of your drink. read more

I love beer!! Beercade has beer!! So many taps so much delicious!! I enjoy video games and this place is so cool. I love the feel of the place. It's not too bright not too dark, and video games plus pinball all good. Great service kind staff. Oh my, what's that bourbon right next door. Winning!!!! GO TO THERE!!! read more

This was a super cool place to visit. I like that the games were cheap and there was a ton - enough for everyone to play

Stopped here on a Tuesday night after getting some tacos next-door at the Taco Co. I'm not a huge beer drinker but the selection was very grand here. Lots of fun arcade games and pinball to be played. For a Tuesday night they had a pretty nice crowd in and out. Because I'm not a huge beer drinker, I really did appreciate the bartender letting me sample a couple before making my order. I definitely appreciated that. Had two drinks that night and found a nice booth by the window and both bartenders I encountered were very nice. I'll definitely go back here read more

Happy 11th anniversary! Free game play all day today. Brought the kids in for their chance to beat mom at some skeeball, street fighter, and others. It's always a blast.

Located on The main thoroughfare in Benson, Beercade offers a good variety of beer on tap and the bartenders are helpful in helping to choose the right one for your tastes. Love the old pinball and video games that bring back a lot of memories from my days playing in the arcade. Good selection of games to challenge your friends on. Happy Hour Special even. Ives you extra quarters to play a few games with. Great deal. read more

One star missing because multiple games were broken. That being said, it's still very cool to see so many old school games in a pub setting. It's a great Benson location w/ a decent beer selection. Big tables and, if the basement is open, recommend to make a trek downstairs for more game options. There is a minibar down there as well and I've attended an event where we rented out that area, which was very cool as well. When I'm Benson, we generally make at least a stop at Beercade if not just make it the place to close out the night. Always a good time. read more

Enjoyed the event room in the basement for an event. The room is set to be all free games down there, letting us enjoy the venue and play unlimited games. There is a small parking lot behind the building, and event room has a private entrance in back as well. read more

I'm a fan of classic arcade games, and remember the big run of arcades from the 1980's, which were killed off by excellent games like Nintendo. Oh well. However, if you'd like a chance to have some nostalgia and play some classic arcade games, you can't do much better than Beercade in Omaha, NE. It's located in the Benson District, which is a nice neighborhood. The bar is a full bar - with a lot of craft beers and on-tap selections, as well as mixed drinks. We tried both, and they were good. The bartenders were friendly and helpful (notably when an owl-eye coin door on Asteroids ate my quarters!) While the drinks were good, we were there for the games, so I was impressed to see a good selection of classic arcade games available. I dropped a bunch of quarters with my wife on various games, and we had a good time. If you are looking for a fun spot to spend some time, stop in! read more

Want to feel like a kid again? Want to drink like an adult? Beercade is the place for you. I've come here half a dozen time with friends, and with co workers to "bond." I can't say a lot of relationships were built by crushing them in ski ball but, I think we all had a good time. Theres plenty of games for everyones taste. Speaking of taste, the beer on tap seems endless and is priced well. The bartenders are friendly and conversational. I love any excuse to come in to this place. read more

Just way too much blm stuff going on in this part of town. Plenty of competition that is safer. You never know when the crap erupts again. Why get caught with loved ones in one of these areas? Just not worth the risk. When I see businesses with the blm sign in the window, it tells me they don't want their business burned to the ground AFTER, it is looted. Again. Not worth the risk! read more

It's a beer place it's an arcade. It's Beercade!! This place takes pride not only in its plethora of throwback arcade games, but also their beer selection. If you like microbrews, this is your place. If you are more of a tall boy mainstream or cheap beer fan this is your place. What I really like is that they are conscientious about clean tap lines. It's amazing how a neglected line can significantly affect a beer's taste and not in a good way! The staff meticulously cleans the lines on a regular basis. This ensures that your pint from Stone or Bell's brewery taste their absolute best. One thing I wish Beercade had was snacks or light bites. I guess it makes sense they don't have these offerings because greasy smudges on pinball flipper buttons or game controllers would be kinda gross. Cheers, Beercade!! read more

Beercade takes me back to my childhood days, playing arcade games after school with my grandparents since they would pick me up from school and take me for a snack and a few arcade games. This nostalgia lives on in Beercade, a craft beer establishment that makes a night out more than just drinking. No real food here (popcorn anyone?) but some great beer choices and mixed drinks. They have all my favorite childhood games such as mortal combat, street fighter, pinball galore, pac man etc. You'll need some cash to exchange for quarters, and the machine only takes $1, $5. Alternatively you could come prepared with a roll of quarters or go to the basement for $3 all you can play for 3 hours. There are enough games down there to keep you occupied for 3 hours and you can even sit on a couch and play console games like Wii Mario cart with your friends on the big screen. There is a separate but smaller bar downstairs and it's own set of bathrooms. A very unique and fun concept for your inner child's night out. and DOG Friendly! read more

My kind of place. Nostalgic video game and beer!! Wish i could rent a room overhead. This was my first time coming to the new location and was nice to see one of the same bartenders from over a year ago. (Why have I not been to the new location sooner?) Happy hour is great and I ordered a pizza from down the street and had it in the new booths. Really great Idea. cant wait to go back and play some more old school games and some pinball. read more

It's love. The design, drinks, bartenders, crowd and games (obviously) all make for a very unique and enjoyable experience. It's like the classier version of playing video games in a friend's basement. If you're actually interested in playing though, I'd recommend getting there a bit earlier in the evening before the place fills up with game lurkers and barflies. read more

Paid for music and they turner if down! Wtf. Come here for a good time. Come here for a good time and leave unhappy

Beercade throws you back to 90s arcades where pinball and Street Fighter was all the rage. The place is long and spacious, with ample room to have a drink at the beer or at a booth with enough social distancing. It is connected to St Andrews, the sport bar and share the same tab so you can back and forth. The bartenders are cool and they play random movies in the TV. The beer selection is ok. I think its not too long so as to confuse someone. The low light makes for a good ambience, though sometimes it can be a little too dark. Overall, nice watering hole to spend the night with a fine drink read more

Great take on the beer/arcade scene.. Their beer selection is pretty decent as far as draft-bottle beers.. we got their Strongbow draft cider + Infusion Vanilla Blonde (slowly becoming one of my local favs) and then proceeded to arcade for a while.. The arcade part features a decent selection of pinball games, shooting games, as well as racing games and the well-known Pac-Man (did a multiplayer version which was kinda cool) Only thing I would suggest is having the arcade games be free to those coming in to drink.. been o a slightly diff take on this theme and their games were free (TX). Other than that great idea.. looking forward to Fri-Sat $3 unlimited arcade play! read more

My favorite place to waste my laundry money while getting wasted! Beercade is exactly what it sounds like--an arcade full of video games from days past, with tons of different beers-domestic, local breweries, international flavors. And of course, a huge assortment of liquor. Bartenders are knowledgeable with excellent recommendations, and can make a damn fine drink to boot. The variety of games here is amazing, you can play everything from original Pac-man to pinball, Simpsons to Street Fighter. I was born on the tail end of the 80s but assume this is how Friday nights were spent during that decade that perfected the art of the arcade. There is also a basement that offers unlimited game play for $3, which is a great deal and leaves you with extra spending money for those drinks..if you are pretending to be responsible like me. Truly a gem of an establishment. read more

Fun atmosphere and cheap to play games. Good choice of spirits and large beer menu definitely a fun place to hang out

Awesome place. Good beer selection and happy hour before 7 every day. Lots of pinball and Area 51 arcade game!

I've been coming to Beercade for a few years now and it is consistently a good nightlife spot and a lot of fun. Something like 30 beers on tap plus a menagerie of bottles and cans make this places beer selections one of the best in omaha. If you come in during happy hour you get a dollar in quarters with every beer you buy so that you can play the arcade machines. Which brings me to the next point of this review, this fun little spot in benson is also a full on arcade. Very pinball heavy, but theres a good selection of other games that can be played as well. On the weekends at night they open up the basement where for a small cover every game is free play. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Get drunk and come here! But get some food next door at tacos or ramen. Happy hour 2-7, $1 off draft beers. Try beating my high score of 654650 on pac mac and I OWN AREA 51. Thank you. read more

I only played pinball but had a lot of fun. All the machines that I played on worked. Husband played a lot of the fighting games and he also had no problems with the machines. We got there around 7ish and before I knew it it was jam packed around 8-9 They have a downstairs section that has more games (super mario bros, simpsons and more pinball games) that will cost 3$ to get in but its unlimited play. Their beer selection is quite impressive. Their menu is neat too. Shows whats on tap, when it was tapped and how much of it is left. read more

Pretty simple concept here. A bar with a craft beer focus paired with an arcade equals: Beercade. For me, the best time to come here is during the day when the crowds are sparse, save for a few weird older guys obsessively playing pinball. Grab an IPA and go relive that part of your youth spent in dark video game arcades. While several of the games haven't really aged all that well (both in playability and the shabbiness of the physical game units), it's still fun to waste a few hours smashing buttons with your mind turned off. Know what would be super awesome? If they had a few cabinets set up where you could play classic NES, SNES and Sega Genesis games. read more

What can I say? It's all in the name. 80's arcade games and beer. Lots of beer. Great beer! When I first heard of this place I thought it's not my cup of tea. However, I like pinball and drinking, so I was wrong. I love it! There's a great tap selection, and lots of games. Something for most people's tastes. I'm usually in on Tuesdays and guy behind the bar is awesome. He has great recommendations. It's a tad pricey as Benson is, but at happy hour you get a dollar in quarters back----I give them right back in the pinball machines. If you want a fun place to hangout and drink this is it. Don't come hungry, there is no kitchen. That's not bad, though, there are tons of wonderful places to eat nearby. read more

My wife and I went to Beercade a couple weeks ago and it was a blast! They had different beers since I last visited Beercade last year so I had to analyze the current beer menu. I decided to try the Radler, which was amazing and it opened my eyes to the world of Radler beers. their happy hour is awesome too. I believe they give you a dollar of quarters to play with when you order a drink during their happy hour times, which I don't remember that they are. The games are always fun. They are priced at the perfect price point, 25 cents to about a dollar per play. They also have some great oldie video games like Galaga that I LOVE. All in all, this place is always a blast to go to and I can't wait to go back. read more

Fuuuuuuuck Beercade! Went there on a very quiet Monday for a pint and a few games of pinball. Sidled up to the bar and waited and waited (and waited) for skinny bar guy with the Weird Al Hawaiian shirt to take my order. Sat there with my thumb up my ass while Al-bro embarrassingly chat up two women (my dude: they're lesbians, stop with the thirst) for maybe five minutes without even once acknowledging my presence. Bailed the fuck out. Weak!! read more

I've been here multiple times- from work events to taking my family of 5 for a fun afternoon. It never fails to be just a really fun time. I feel comfortable enough with the atmosphere in the early afternoon to let my 4, 10, and 11 year old kids hang out in a "bar." It transitions very nicely in the evenings to a hangout place with a very cool vibe (with a great patio). The service is always top notch, and the bartenders always recommend great beers. I LOVE the signs telling you how full the kegs are. Very cool. We give our older kids $20, and the return on that investment is incredible. It lasts them for a while, and it's just pure joy the entire time we're in there. My 11 year old loves the root beer on tap, and it is included in the happy hour deal (buy a beer, get $1 in quarters). Check it out. It's a great time for all. read more

Both locations- Little Bohemia & Benson are amazing. Staff is always friendly. The outside patio in benson with its fire place makes it an amazing place to hang out. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite bars in Omaha read more

I absolutely love this place, it's one of my favorites. The beer list is strong and connects to Untapped and changes frequently. The cocktails are good, the staff is efficient and friendly. The games are a treat, especially the 4 player Pac-Man. read more

I've been here once and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there! Although I'm not a big arcade game player, I liked the setup and the environment. I discovered that the downstairs area is set up differently than the upstairs - you pay a one-time payment to get unlimited access to all the game downstairs. Upstairs, you put coins in the machines each time you want to play! I didn't get any mixed drinks, but I like how they serve locally-brewed drinks. Overall, it was a fun experience to try with friends! read more

I was so happily surprised with my experience coming here for the first time! I actually went to dine at Fizzy's across the street and there was a wait so my friends and I stopped in. The atmosphere was fun, it wasn't too crowded, and COVID precautions were being followed. There were plenty of games available, and no lines to wait. Ski ball was very fun along with many old video games available to play. One of the bartenders, Davis, Made for a great experience at the bar. He made great drinks and was very fun and goofy with our group! I will be back! read more

Visited Omaha from Iowa and went out with friends at night. This was one of the places we checked out on a street that featured many other bars. Idea of arcade games and beer just sounded good. This place is packed with classic games against the all the walls except the bar. Many pinball games, with classics like street fighter, Simpsons, area 51, and many others. It was a Saturday and the place was pretty crowded but we were still able to play machines we wanted to play. It was a bit of a tight squeeze because arcade machines were close to each other but we managed with our drinks. They had a small sitting area with about 8 tables that fit 4 each. I had a great experience playing old school arcades and having some drinks with friends. Games were cheap also and $10 could last you 2 hours plus. I could see this being a regular place I visit if they had one in my home town. read more

Beercade - Pinball. - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I live in Northern California and was looking for a fun, non-pretentious bar while visiting family in Omaha. This place was recommended to us as a fun alternative to the Old Market (which is fun also...just a different crowd). Derek L. was our bartender. Hella cool guy and gave us great recommendations for restaurants in the Benson area. Also, a plus...my pinball machine got stuck and he came over and helped fix it. In California that would not happen!! Awesome retro atmosphere...great beer and liquor selection and even smells like an old arcade. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome place for a drink! Beercade has 20 or so beers on tap plus a bunch of classic arcade and pinball machines. While I wish they had some snacks or food available, it was great to have an Old Rasputin stout while playing Terminator 2 Pinball or Galaga. Beer Ball (skeet ball) was also a favorite of mine, which you can play for prizes like a dollar off of beers, a t-shirt, and more. Great place, would come again: for the ambiance and the games as well as the beer! read more
