About The Flipside Barcade

Flipside Barcade pairs craft brews and American comfort grub with floor-to-ceiling rows of pinball machines and classic arcade setups. Regulars gather for the high-octane retro noise—elbows clattering on vintage Mortal Kombat cabinets, retro NBA games flashing on screen, and the unmistakable sound of people locked into intense matches. Between rounds, fuel up on baskets of wings, crisp fries, and the towering Altered Beast double burger. Gaming runs on an hourly model rather than loose quarters, giving players uninterrupted runs across consoles and tilt-ready tables. Cap things off at the bar, where staff pour cold craft pints alongside quick tips for beating the high scores.

  • Retro Arcade Cabinets & Pinball: Lineup featuring classic NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat setups alongside wall-to-wall pinball tables and retro consoles.
  • American Diner Classics & Craft Brews: Hearty diner staples including the Altered Beast double burger, wings, and fries backed by a rotating craft beer list.
  • Hourly Play & Tournaments: Pay-by-the-hour game access with regular community tournaments for games like Super Smash Bros.
