I havent been to it, but I know this place recently opened in Austin - http://kungfusaloon.com/ (http://kungfusaloon.com/)

If its anything like Barcadia in Dallas, its mostly bar, little bit games.  But still makes for a good distraction.

NEW GOAL IN LIFE!

I want one of these in Vancouver so badly.
It will have house beer that is made with real bits of arcade and pinball machines.  :P

We have a sketchy old arcade with peep show booths set up in the back!
They got a Medieval Madness which keeps me out of the porn  :cheers:

Yeah me too! One of my goals when I was younger was to open a small pub, with my own micro-brewed beer. Perhaps if I get burnt out, and want changed careers...  >:D

Yeah, but that arcade has been here forever! Like, I remember going there 20 years ago, and it was old and sketchy then! (assuming you're talking about Movieland)
But hey, at least it has stand-up machines. All the old arcades that are still here have converted to DDR, or counter-strike cafe styled facades.

btw, I love the making-of picture log of Barcade in NYC.

I really like that metal stuff for the ceiling in its raw form (without boring stucco added). What is it?
