This place is so cool. I hope it stays here forever. It's located in a great area. Great parking cool things around to eat and have fun. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It can be confusing to understand the drinking system and your bracelet lol but once you get the help, you're OK I love the different choices. They have they always change them up, which is great. I also especially love the stools /step ups for the kids. They're everywhere that's a must. There's never a game. that's broken down every time I go, which is great too. I recommend you go there. Have a couple drinks. Eat some dinner down the street. What a great date! read more

Quarters Bar+Arcade - Friends visiting feom Cali. and my daughter having a blast! - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Quarters is definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for an easy casual place with a self serve tap wall and classic arcade games that entertain while not making you feel like you're spending a small fortune for a fun outing with a partner, friends or family. The beer selection is decent and you get a wristband that you can tap to either pour yourself a drink or play any of the games. The only thing to look out for is one of our pours had quite a bit of foam even with proper tap pour technique. The gentleman working the front desk was super friendly and helpful. Quarters is a space that everyone can enjoy! read more

Had a fun date night here last weekend. Could also be a great place to hang out with friends or family. Taps are good and they have every game you could want to play. Beware it can add up quickly but it's a good time so it's worth it. read more

Wow, this place was really cool. It had a small selection of games, but enough to keep us busy for a little under an hour. I absolutely loved the help yourself style of the beer/wine selections. Such a cute spot with really neat decor too. We will definitely return. read more

Quarters Bar+Arcade - The family having a blast playing video games and drinking beer! - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I'm giving it two stars because it could have been good, but it's really disappointing and I hope they improve a lot. First, the good stuff. The concept with the wrist band is nice, it makes things real easy. The prices are very cheap, so it's a good value. The plays on the games are priced fairly from what I could gather, which is nice. Now for the areas that need improvement... The arcade cabinets. For some reason they have a collection of bizarre LCD conversion cabinets running MAME, with cheesy cheap sticks and buttons, and even cheesier cardboard cutout makeshift bezels to obscure the fact that they slapped an unsuitable screen in there. 1945 had a totally skewed and incorrect aspect ratio and at least 4-6 frames of lag, if not more. The angle of the screen was somewhere in between a regular arcade cabinet and a pinball machine. It was jarring I actually started laughing out loud in disbelief over how scuffed this machine was. The spray painted black cardboard cutout for a bezel was so insanely cheesy. I didn't want to be rude but I was very tempted to take a picture to submit to the /r/crapmame subreddit it was so tacky. The buttons were also incorrectly placed on it, 1st and 2nd player had a different positional layout, which is bizarre. The Simpsons arcade game had a balltop on the stick that came loose while I was playing. I tried to screw it back in, but that didn't work, the thread must have been stripped. I talked to the nice person that worked there and he said I just have to screw it back in, tried it himself, didn't work, he left it there and then he shrugged. It was a super cheesy cheap setup. It felt like it was AliExpress hardware, sanwa-knockoff stuff. The worst was frogger. This poor frogger machine was sitting by itself with a bizarrely off-center bezel. The lag was not as bad on this one as on 1945 thankfully. But the joystick was seriously a real nasty piece of work. It was mushy, bizarre, off center, inputs not registering randomly. A game I usually have no problem playing on my MiSTer FPGA at home, suddenly turned into my greatest challenge. If you are looking for a cheap dive to just get drunk and lazily reminisce with some people and not care about the quality of the arcade experience, have at it! The staff is nice enough. But if you are looking to play arcade games, this place does not serve your best interests unfortunately. read more

I absolutely LOVE Quarters! This was my favorite entertainment place to visit when I lived in Longmont. When I came back last year to visit my son we came here twice. They let us bring a cake and presents and have our own little birthday party in there. The owners Luke and Emily are the nicest most down to earth people I've ever met in my life. I have lots of wonderful memories here. I used to walk down from my apartment and have a few drinks and play some fun games, kept me from being cooped up. Their wristband system makes it so easy to drink and hop from game to game. My wallet has never been hit like crazy when I come here. After every single visit after I pay my tab I can't believe how much bang for my buck I got. If you're in the area and looking for something fun to do please go here and support some amazing people, you won't be disappointed! it really is a great time :) read more

Service was INCREDIBLE. Games were so much fun, the two guys working tonight were so awesome. The drinks were also delicious. Super fun and cool idea. Will definitely be coming back! read more

What a cool little place! The games were so cheap, we could just keep playing and playing and not think about spending too much. Plus the wristbands with scanners made everything so easy. And the self serve bar?? The best. You can taste, do half pours, no waiting, reading about them up close. The actual selection of beers wasn't my absolute fave that day, but there had to be over a dozen beer options, plus it was very cool that they also had a couple coders and a couple wines on tap too! I really wish more places had self serve bars!! Skee ball, electronic air hockey, pac man... lots of fun. Also they were cleaning regularly and that was much appreciated! We will be back! read more

This place is pretty small, only a handful of games but a good place to stop for a beer and some fun. I really like their wristband system. No need to get coins or swipe a card at each machine. Just scan your wristband at the game you want to play or the self-serve beer and pay when you're done! read more

Quarters Bar+Arcade - a man playing a video game - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I appreciate the implementation of RFID bands for the games and the tap. As long as you know how to self serve, this place is great. And a good way to meet people is pouring for them. Great time. Wish more people were here to enjoy the atmosphere with! I've gone a few times now, and it's a blast! A few competitive games, some of the best arcade classics, and a wide variety of beer along with some wine options too! The owners are super friendly and will go out of their way to make sure your drinks are pouring right and that you're winning your games. You can tell they are classic gamers/geeks, and I love it. I'm a traveler not from the area, and not a single bar on Mainstreet made me feel as welcome as this place. read more

Quarters Bar+Arcade - Bars Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

When you are walking down Main Street in Longmont, Colorado, you may miss this gem. It is a garden level business so you have to look down through the windows to see that there are young people and adults playing their favorite video games and adults enjoying local adult beverages. Their tap system enables you to try at your own pace and helps to keep their labor costs down. Look for glassware below the tap! Servers are circulating to keep things clean and help if you get stuck. You can bring in your own food so I strongly recommend Rosalee's, the best Longmont pizza place, right down the block! My family was visiting with four kids ranging from age 8 to 19 and we all had a blast. The pong game is very retro, it is almost less a "video" game because it is an actual block which is passed between paddles that you spin. Really fun for all of us! I recommend it, even as a destination if you do not live in Longmont. Excellent concept. Adults only after 9 pm! read more

Classic arcade games, skee-ball, and self-serve beer & cider with ~14 choices. Great place to bring some friends and have some fun, old school :) read more

EDIT: RESPONSE TO OWNER COMMENT The establishment has replied to my review, disingenuously claiming gender inclusivity and insinuating that I have lied about attending the establishment at all. Not that I have any incentive to prove otherwise, I came into your establishment early one afternoon for a pre-packaged wrap, as I was curious about the new barcade that opened up and wanted to scope your cabinet selection before I committed to bringing friends by. I am, however, no stranger to bars, arcades, and barcades specifically, and I have a background in facilities, so this is information that could be deduced from simply observing the space, even if I haven't gone there for drinking and gaming during prime-time. And more to the point, your restroom signage immediately registered as problematic and exclusive. Whether or not you "allow" people to use whichever restroom they want is a different issue than what your signage portrays (and I'm speaking to the standardized restroom signage, not to any decals added later). Guys, it's not hard. "We listened to your feedback regarding our restroom signage, and we're looking into possible solutions to make our establishment one that is inclusive to all." Honestly, you could lie at this point. But your response proves you're all snakes, willing to make baseless claims to discredit my critique of your poorly-conceived establishment. Just own it and move on. Or better yet, make the signage change and be like "Hey! You spoke and we listened, now our signage reflects our policy towards inclusive restrooms." Because even more than being able to use whichever restroom you want, it matters equally that people walk into a space and immediately feel welcome to use whichever restroom they want. No need to ask a manager. No need to feel like you're needing to be sneaky by occupying a restroom that is signed for the gender they don't identify with. Now that I've given you all this knowledge and didn't even charge you for it, would you like to try your response again? ORIGINAL REVIEW: Initially, their beer-on-the-wall self-service setup is novel, but it doesn't replace the experience of interacting with a bartender. Whatever benefit you get from expediency, you lose in comfort; the space is poorly thought out and there was major congestion around the self-service area. Best thing I can say is that the beer selection is decent. Limited and lacking arcade selection, even for a barcade. Again, the narrow and poorly planned layout of this bar They do not have an operating kitchen, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the snack food they do have is subpar and overpriced. This establishment has gender-specific single-occupancy restrooms. Separate conversations with management revealed them to be uninterested and even contemptuous of the idea of adjusting their signage to be welcoming and inclusive to everybody. This has led me to believe this establishment is /not/ LGBT-friendly. I am looking forward to the owners reconsidering this stance in the future. There are better barcade options in the Denver area to bother with this lackluster, exclusionary attempt. read more

Dope place where u get a wristband to pour your own drinks and use for machines. They take quarters too of course, but the wristband makes it easy. It's like half underground which is super cool and chill in the summer. Also if u have the minchies they have the snacks! Very nice staff that are super helpful. read more

My kids and I had a blast there. I loved the games took quarters it brought back the old school feel. I loved the beer wrist band technology. Kids loved the skeeball and games. It's a smaller more home feel place than bigger places. I love the concept and the older games and pinball. Owners were super chill and nice. Will bring my boys back. read more

Excellent place to have a good time drinking the beer they have on tap while playing some arcade games! Friendly staff attendants and after several visits, can only suggest a visit for everyone! Longmont's only real arcade bar is worth the visit, I absolutely love the self serve beer and cider- not to mention it's pretty cool that you can use your wristband they give you to track all of your alcohol and play tokens together. Makes paying at the end as simple as it can get! Heard they just got some new arcade games too, which was the only recommendation I had for the place so I gotta swing by and see for myself! read more

Such a great spot to hang out. The staff is always so nice and the owners always make you feel welcomed! They have something for everyone, whether you're a wine or beer drinker or even in between at ciders. Exactly what Longmont needed. The nostalgia is REAL! read more

Great place and super fun! A friendly place to play old style pinball and arcades games, and cozy, too, but not crowded or too noisy. Good for people watching, too, and the Skeeball tournaments are a blast. read more

We had a great time here! Very innovative wrist band system for playing the games and pouring your own drinks using the tap system. Friendly staff was helpful and explained everything! I would recommend checking it out, and we are planning to bring visitors here for a unique downtown experience. read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Trinity was very helpful and made our first experience incredible! Very different from anything we have ever done and will definitely be back again soon! read more

Shasa! They take quarters or the games play on the wristband that you purchase door drinks!

I reserved the facility for a big family event. I am so glad we did this! Everyone had a really great time. Making reservations was very easy, and they responded right away so I could finalize everything quickly. The staff there were attentive and friendly, and really helped make our special event the best. The place was immaculate. The games were all in good working order, and the variety is perfect. I just can't say enough good things about it. I would gladly do this again. read more

This place is awesome! They are supporters of local non-profits, they are inclusive, family friendly and just plain FUN! It is a great place to gather with friends and family and hang out, enjoy some old school games, and just play. Thanks, Quarters for your community support! read more

We came in for our first time had four beers total and it was 63 dollars. We brought our own quarters and everything. No one serves you and your expected to leave a tip this place sucks they have like six different games and over charge you for beer go somewhere else like the pumphouse Same arcade less price and don't even go in the pumphouse has Better prices and is a better place read more

Overall this place was cool to check out and experience. Had a variety of brews and ciders available, and the wristband is a cold feature. They also just started trying a $5 all you can play, which was cool as well. The location is a bit small and cramped though, and due to the small space, has a smaller selection of games, but still had a good time. read more

Love this place. Amazing assortment of video games and pinball machines. I really like the self pour option for drinks. It allows people to try different types of beers. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. read more

I loved this place! Employees are super nice and help explain how everything works so you don't feel overwhelmed or confused. Perfect for a date night or just a fun place to hang out with friends. The beer and wine wall is awesome. Each beer or wine has a description of taste so you know what you're getting as well as has a price. Best part is you don't have to have a bunch of quarters to play the games, but you can if you want. They give you wrist band that is linked to your credit card on file. I recommend it! read more

So excited to have this great arcade in Longmont. Love the OPTION to start a tab using a scannable wristband, no fumbling with tokens or quarters. Great for any age or skill level. Please support this local business! read more

Great games, they all work. The owners are a couple and this is their livelyhood, they care about the place and about their patrons!

Luke & Emily run a fun, laid back bar with tons of great games + rotating brews! Quarters is an awesome place to stop if you're in downtown Longmont any time of day or night. Their Monday night skeeball league is so much fun & the best way to start the week! Would recommend this place to anyone! read more
