The CraftCade has a laid-back, fun 80s/90s retro vibe that my wife and I really loved. I ordered an 18" New York-style pizza, which had great flavor and texture. Hot honey wasn't on the menu, but they had some--and it was perfect with the giant pepperoni slices. They also have a pour-your-own beer wall with a bunch of options, which was pretty cool. Most of the old games are free to play. A few were in rough shape, but we still had a fun time. The newer games and pinball machines cost to play. Great service at both the bar and the pizza counter. Overall, we had a great time--some awesome pizza and a round of Mario Kart on the Switch while seated at the bar read more

Went here several times by myself and with friends. I love the 80s atmosphere and the culture that they captured in the walls and the drinks and the menu. I have had the food and it is OK but nothing I would say was wow to me. I like the selection of alcohol that you can get including The draft station with a charge card. I like that some of the games are free and others that you can pay for if you want the newer game experience. The biggest challenge I see here is the upkeep of the old video games, which is hard to keep up with. The staff is friendly and I would recommend going here for a unique experience read more

Pizza had no sauce . It was dry and flavorless. I had high hopes but it was very disappointing/

Very fun place. Great drink selection and the beer wall is awesome. Wednesday trivia is great and the host is super nice. The food is good, especially the sandwiches. read more

There's something for everyone! Beer, cocktails, soda, pizza, sandwiches, cookies, and so much more. Everything I've had there has been delicious. One frustrating thing is that there are many games that don't work or you need to pay to play. However, there's still plenty to do as long as it's not too busy. I like the population it appeals to and I always feel safe and comfortable in there. It doesn't get sketchy like some other bars do. read more

I love this place. It's cool atmosphere & retro look. Their pizza is one of the best I've had here in Bismarck. But I absolutely love their salads! My favorite is the house salad it comes in a small container but packs allot of flavor & much more salad than meets the eye. I love that I can eat & play some games while there. Try their beer bar which is a cool buy it & pour it yourself. read more

Place was cool, we had a blast with all the games! Cocktails were solid, shots were good, I think they need to clean their beer lines though. Would go back for sure, but hoping the beers taste better. read more

10/10, 5 stars - will definitely return. The staff were kind and helpful and the games were so much fun. There were a few games that were out of order, but I played some of my other favorites and drank root beer! Some games are pay to play, but they have an atm and change machine on site in case you don't bring quarters. read more

Ok, nostalgia alert!!! This place had me flooded with memories! While I waited for my food,which was tasty by the way, I watched old TV commercials!! Ah, the good old days. There are so many arcade games to play, and they are free!! It's totally an adult place for fun, but they do host a family night! They have a drink program where you can get a card that allows you to get drinks from the tap. Very tasty choices, and some random ciders. Settle up at the end of the night. They also very good pizza. It's a nice place to meet other adult friends who want to shoot the shit, or just stuff your faces and watch people play video games or movies. Please, check it out!! read more

Loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious, the vibe was so chill, and the staff was so friendly. I also really enjoyed the way they do their beer card. Extremely smart! Great experience!! Lots of Nostalgia!! read more

Now I don't drink, but this place is all sorts of fun! Definitely go on Thursday nights when they do trivia; tons of fun and the prizes up can win are really cool! Food here is pretty good too! Again, I can't say much about the alcohol as I don't drink, but I know there is a self-serve area. It's a shame I don't live in the state anymore as I only got to come here one time. If you're in the area, definitely check it out! read more

It's literally like stepping back into the 80s this bar is so fun! Pour your own craft beers, FREE to play video games and total arcade food with a gourmet twist! I got a hotdog with lettuce,dortitos, ranch and siracha on a huge bun and it was delicious! As for the atmosphere if you like arcades and drinking beer (who doesn't?) then I definitely recommend hitting this place up! Also they have marvel v capcom, you're welcome.. read more

What a great place! The vibe in there was amazing! 80's commercials playing non stop on the TV's, free arcade games, a pour your self beer wall and amazing pizza! Definitely recommend! 10/10! Such a fun place to hang! read more

The CraftCade - Arcades Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

This place has an amazing full arcade, a beer wall, and delicious pizza. Check it out

I ordered a Taco pizza tonight. Not sure why I didn't get the lettuce, olives and dorito chips that were on the menu. Called Dalton and he corrected the issue. Thank you Dalton. Much appreciated. read more

I simply love The CraftCade!!! The pizzas are seriously the best pizza anywhere! Everything I've tasted has been great, it's so much fun playing the arcade games AND for free! The newest addition of their drinks besides the awesome beer wall was really wonderful for someone like me that isn't into beer that much. All of that would keep me going there whenever I can but there is something else that is an even bigger draw than the fabulous food, games and potent portables- the people who work there! The people working there seem to enjoy what they're doing. I love their energy and enthusiasm! I'll keep coming back for all of it! Thanks for being such a positive, fun and delicious addition to the food game in Bismarck! read more

Amazing New York style pizza. BEST in town by far. Awesome concept and lots of different games to choose from which are all free. Very cool self serve beer pour wall- choose as much as you'd like. Love this place!! read more

Im not a video game player, but you have to try it out at least once. Most beverages are in cans and there's a serve yourself tap beer section. Once you settle into this place you start to feel like your in an 80/90s movie with the nostalgia, music, and TVs. Prices are reasonable and various food options as well. read more

Great arcade bar. Food is great. Needs more games, or just more variety. I'm a big fan of early vector games, and it seems to weigh more heavily to late 80's and early 90's combat/shooting games. Only reason for 4 stars read more

Best pizza I've had in a long time. Highly recommend the taco pizza. Also love the atmosphere, haven't really seen any place like it before! I'm not a local btw, just passing thru town and ordered from here on a whim. If I come back to Bismarck I'm definitely checking this place out again. read more

The concept is great. Pizza, beer, games, kids running around. But for God's sake, turn down the music. Everyone in there should wear ear plugs, the music is so loud. I think I'll be deaf a whole year earlier now. I had to scream to just have a conversation. Which I guess isn't very important to the folks with their heads buried in their phones. read more

This place is a completely unique experience in Bismarck. It has 20 tap pour-your-own beer wall, tons of wacky food options, dozens of FREE arcade games, and an awesome retro themed decor! Everything about this place goes to 11. read more

Consistently the BEST pizza in Bis-Man. Dine-In, Take-Out, or delivery it's always amazing! Craft beer wall also a huge win. Customer service is alive and well here! If you haven't tried you are missing out. read more

I lived in Bismarck half my life and this is the coolest bar to ever open in town. Great food, great drinks and the staff is amazing, especially Heather, Cassie and Sam! read more

Loooove this place!! Whether you're into arcade games, the uhmazing New York style pizza, the self-pouring beer wall, or just the retro vibe with really good energy moving about, this place is fun for everyone!! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is light-hearted and welcoming! Definitely check it out!! read more

Coolest establishment in town. Class and nostalgia all in one. Pizza is very desirable and the beer selection is great. Let's not forget to mention the arcade selection. The vibe you get in this building you won't find anywhere else in a Bismarck. read more

Ordered delivery on 3/11/20. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time so we aren't understanding why the pizza was Only slightly warm and beef frank was literally cold. Was this pizza made for another patron that didn't show to pick it up? That's the impression we have, unfortunately our first and final experience as there are so many options out there and for $40 we expected better. It would have been good pizza. read more

Went here for the first time yesterday. Absolutely loved it and it made me feel like a kid again! The games are awesome and free, the beer wall is easy to use and convenient, and it's a plus that they have black jack. I would have given them a five star rating but the seating isn't the greatest. However, with all of the games and limited space it is expected. I will definitely be back here again! read more

Honestly, horrible beers, the selection is subpar to say the least. Game selection is minimal and missing any game that remotely resembles a classic game. Kids running around everywhere. For an establishment that has a 21+ disclaimer on the front door I was sure taken for a ride when I opened the door. You couldn't pay me to go back. read more

If you like pizza, this is the best place in town. Great value for the money. The hot dogs are amazing too.

No no no the managment is horrid. Ownership is a joke. Terrible food. Multiple games broken and very limited game selection to start with. Don't waste your time or money here!! read more

Best NY pizza in town, free arcade games, and pour your own beer! Tons of pizza, beer, and game options! Nothing like it in Bismarck!

The CraftCade is such a different and fun place to go. The self-pour beer wall is something I've never seen before and mixing beers for a totally new flavor is amazing! Being able to play the games for free if you are eating or drinking is great! I've been to many other arcade bars and I've had to pay to play the games at all of them. The pizza flavors are great and the names are such a fun throwback! The franks also have fun retro names and interesting toppings. The trivia nights are fun, a different way to spend an evening, and the prizes are themed for the event. I love the friendly staff and the atmosphere! read more

The pizza is the best in town. The staff are cheerful and have a positive attitude. I strongly recommend for food, beer and Sunday family day read more

The CraftCade is a great downtown spot, lots of fun, the best pizza around and very helpful employees. Props to Heather for showing us around on our 1st experience! read more
