Tanya J.

Very cool arcade bar! We had a blast playing some Classic games. The drinks were lovely, and the service was great. This a great place for kids as well. We went during Halloween season, so there were tons of spooky things going on. Great place to make a spot when in the area

This place was so much fun! First time going to a drag show and it didn't disappoint! The place is really cool on the inside and definitely packed! bartenders were cool and the service was great! I don't drink anymore or go to bars, but this particular weekend away, I had to stop in to see the show! It was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a good time, this is definitely the place to go.

Bit bar menu and tokens

This was pretty cool. Relaxed Wednesday night for our first visit as locals. Stacks on stacks of delicious beers litter the menu, and although we didn't expand too deep into food, the apps menu worked. Blue cheese burger sliders were damn tasty (although I would've preferred real blue cheese, this was slightly fluffy and runny) and the beer cheese teamed up with those delicious pretzels hit the spot. Dumped $20 into the token machine and that kept the missus and I busy for darn close to two hours Skeeball, pinball, some random cabinet games. Mixed drinks were tasty, beers were plentiful, staff was awesome. Friendly and a lot of fun! 21+ after 8pm, so eat early if you're bringing your kids!

Cool arcade bar we accidentally came across when running in the rain back to the train station. Had some time to kill before the next train arrival and to let the kids unwind with some video games while the adults have a few drinks. They have a huge selection of beer and a decent collection of pinball machines, arcade games, skeeball and, mostly older/classic stuff. The price for arcades were actually not bad. This place was super clean and an awesome place for a group of friends to just have drinks, eat and game. Wish we had something like this at home that's not your D&B's.

I came here last time I was in Salem and knew they had some GF food options and that my husband would enjoy the vibe. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Food was good! I kinda geeked out on the single serving size of nachos. I think you should be able to order smaller portion sizes of appetizers so I was happy! My husband got the hot honey chicken sandwich and loved it. A drag show was about to go on but we were both so exhausted from our 3am travel start time.

Was walking by & Came in here to play old school video games. The employees I encountered were friendly w/ me. I didn't get to try any food b/c I just ate @ Ginger's. It was kind of loud in there b/c there were a lot of kids. I hope this survives b/c there's a lot of spots that come to Salem then the next year they're gone. I enjoyed myself here & crossing my fingers for next year.

I have never been to this place, not even the old one but I was very surprised with this one. It is a perfect location and pretty big. I really like all the mix of games that they have and the amount of games that they had too. My son's thoroughly enjoyed all the games especially. We were there for a 40th birthday party and he was a pretty good deal of getting unlimited games. I love the little area we have in the back with all the tables for everyone to eat and I love that. We just had a waitress basically for us. However, my only complaint is when they put out the food they had it like a buffet style which is fine but they had a little game going on the wall which I wish they shut off because the person that was playing it was in our way of getting the food. The pizza was pretty good, The pretzels were good, however the mustard looks absolutely disgusting, The chicken fingers are pretty decent but I wish they had more sauce and the french fries pretty good too. Definitely say the food's pretty good. I wish they had more like mocktail options, but that's just because I'm not a drinker. I would definitely be back

I love it here and their stamp is so much smaller now. They have drag every Friday and the show is very very good.

This update was an accident. Yelp's guidelines won't let me post a review that short so I need to type some more.

Everything tasted amazing, but I think the consensus was that our favorite appetizer was the Tetris shaped tater tots.

With the staffs help and managers coin flip I settled on the vegetable korma as my main. Intense and complex flavors melded in my mouth. Too much for one lunch so yay me lunch for tomorrow.

Can't wait to return!

Trade House has opened on Derby Street in Salem, formerly Witch's Brew Café. This bar and…read morerestaurant offers a casual drinking and dining experience with the atmosphere of a neighborhood New England style pub. The layout of the place has the pub/lounge area with a full service bar with seating & TVs opposite high top table seating. The separated dining room to the right side has table seating & a corner fireplace and the back area of the place has a couple tables (employee area). The food menu offers a selection of starters, salads, sandwiches, burgers, main entrees, and desserts, at moderate prices. A kids menu is also offered. IThe bar serves 12 draft beers, beer cans/bottles, wine, and cocktails. After a drive on a foggy evening, I stopped in at Trade House for some late evening food and to catch the Celtics game on TV. I took a seat at a high top table next to the bar. The server came over in a couple minutes after I settled in. I requested an ice water and immediately placed my food order. For a starter, Fried Calamari ($16 plus tax) served in a bowl had flash fried calamari rings & tentacles with a light coating, very tender to eat with lemon wedge for zest and a pomodoro sauce for dipping. For dinner, the Southern Fried ($17 plus tax) was stacked with lettuce, tomato, red onions, thick crunchy fried buttermilk chicken, pimento & pickle chips on a toasted bun. The side of thinner cut golden fries was salted and firm, ketchup cup on the side. I very much enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich with the crisp fries. After I was done, the server dropped off the check, which was $35.31 with tax and before tip. Overall, a great tasting fried meal in a noisy pub, NBA finals on TV, and adequate service.

I was heading to Salem in October, and didn't want to risk trying to find food without a…read morereservation, but as expected many places don't take reservations in October because the influx of people, but Antique Table did! When we arrived the place was nearly empty, which come to find out places aren't as busy on a Monday. There was one other table finishing up in the main dinning area, and one other group arrived at the same time we did. We were greeted and sat quickly, but that's where the speed of things kinda came to a slow down. I'll start with some of the positives - our waitress was really nice and she had a helper who also was nothing but polite and friendly. The decor is really cool! There was no one in the entire back room of the restaurant, so I went and took a peak back there on the way to the bathroom and it had old cameras, typewriters, cool pieces of art, the main room also have some great scales of justice, and other fun features. They also had all the Halloween decor, if anyone needed to use the restroom we were told to go towards the large mirror, and I would always add on to my friends "with the creepy doll on it". After about 2 to 3 minutes my entire party had and water was brought to the table and served in plastic cups. Which at a place with white table clothes felt a little strange. At some point after our waitress returned to take drink orders and an appetizer of the calamari. She then asked "have I offered you all any bread yet" we said no, but we would love bread. She said "okay it will be $3" and walked away. We all kinda looked at each other confused, because the phrasing seemed like it was complementary bread but we were really hungry at this point and the bread ended up being really good - but it was a small portion for $3. I think 6 thinner slices in total. We waited a while before she returned for our food order. The menu has what you expect from an Italian places but also has a large section of Mexican dishes, which feels mismatched, it wasn't fusion style it was just Italian and Mexican separately, it just feels really disjointed. I went with the bolognese and one of my friends decided to order the tacos because it felt so silly to do in an Italian spot (and who doesn't like tacos generally). The calamari came out at some point after the bread, but we finished the bread, the calamari, and all our waters at a causal pace after that. We were sitting for a while before anyone came back to the room where we were seated. At this point there were maybe 3 or 4 tables sat in our room and possible one other couple up towards the front area. As many of us were out of water, I headed up towards the bar area or host stand to see if I could find someone. I ran into the guy who was assisting with our table and asked if we could get some more water - which happened promptly. About 5 to 10 minutes after that our waitress returned with even more water and told us food would be out soon. The food arrived maybe 10 minutes after that, so it had been a while since we ordered. The bolognese was fine, the pasta wasn't overcooked, the sauce lacked some depth and the meat was a little firmer than anticipated but overall it was still okay. They did offer some Parmesan cheese to be added to any of the pastas or tacos. The total for 5 people, with no alcohol, one soda, one order of calamari, the $3 bread, and the already added gratuity (which they did mention was already added in at 20% and it was also stated on the bill) ended up being $208. Overall, the food was fine, nothing to make a special trip for. Service was friendly, but very slow. The vibes were a little mismatched - Mexican food with Italian food and plastic cups with white table clothes. Overall, it's a fine experience if you are needing a reservation.

"What is happening" is all my friend and I could say during our night. We came here years ago and…read moreremember having a good experience, however, it is definitely new ownership and a new menu now. Bring some hand warmers because the dining room has no heat. The staff give off a weird vibe & it's one of those places where once you get your overpriced bar food you will be forgotten To top it off they did have live music that may have blew out my ear drums & sounded like you just dropped acid.
