Pawn and Pint is a Kansas City barcade that pairs a working bar with a lineup of arcade play, building a late-evening hangout for adults who want both drinks and games under one roof. Located in Missouri’s largest city, it sits alongside a small but active local arcade scene that also includes Up-Down KC and DoubleTap KC, both bar-leaning venues catering to an after-hours crowd.
The barcade holds a 4.7 out of 5 average across roughly 1,300 reviews, placing it among the more strongly reviewed game-and-drink destinations in the Kansas City metro. Its opening rhythm — kicking in at 4 PM on weekdays and stretching past midnight on weekend nights — fits the typical cadence of a barcade rather than a daytime family entertainment center, reinforcing the grown-up, post-work positioning of the venue.

The Scene
A detailed public review write-up isn’t available for this listing at the time of publication, so the picture here is drawn strictly from the directory record rather than aggregated visitor commentary. The venue is filed under the “Bar” category in directory data, which lines up cleanly with its barcade designation, and the 1,300-review base paired with a near-perfect 4.7 average suggests consistent crowd experiences built around the bar-plus-games concept rather than a single standout draw.
Visitors comparing neighborhood options across Kansas City can find Up-Down KC and DoubleTap KC operating in similar adult-friendly formats; both are listed in the RetroArcade.com directory and are worth cross-checking when planning a barcade crawl. Anyone building a multi-stop evening can lean on the arcade finder to line up routing, since it filters venues by city and venue type with no guesswork involved.
Games & Machines
The venue’s public record doesn’t include an itemized machine list, so guests should expect a typical barcade spread rather than a curated cabinet showcase. The barcade format generally pairs classic uprights and a rotating cast of modern titles with bar seating and stand-up cocktail tables, with pinball frequently part of the mix in similar venues. For anyone wanting a fuller picture of the games on the floor before visiting, the official site at pawnandpint.net or a direct phone call to +1 816-631-4263 is the most reliable route, since the directory record itself doesn’t carry a confirmed games list.
The broader interactive arcade map is also a useful companion tool for sizing Pawn and Pint against other Kansas City barcades, and it makes it easy to spot the closest alternatives if the Pawn and Pint floor feels crowded on a given night.
Visiting
Pawn and Pint is listed at Kansas City, MO; a precise street address isn’t published on the public listing, so guests typically rely on the venue’s official site or a phone call for door directions. The phone line is +1 816-631-4263 and the homepage lives at http://www.pawnandpint.net/. Pinning those two contact points before heading out is the simplest way to avoid a guess-and-go situation on a busy Friday or Saturday.
Hours follow a clear weekday-to-weekend build. Monday through Thursday, doors open at 4 PM and close at 11 PM. Friday uses the same 4 PM opening but runs all the way to 1:30 AM, making it the natural after-work stop. Saturday opens earlier at 11 AM and stays open until 1:30 AM, while Sunday runs 11 AM through 11 PM for a slightly earlier close. The weekend daytime opening is a notable feature: it shows the venue isn’t strictly a nighttime-only bar and welcomes daytime foot traffic during peak hours.
Because the venue is categorized as a bar, guests should expect bar service at the core, with any food offerings handled through the venue directly rather than spelled out in the directory record. Age policy and party or event booking details aren’t listed on the public record, so for group reservations, private events, or to confirm the entry age threshold, calling ahead is the right move. Anyone planning a multi-venue night can plot the route across town with the arcade map or scan the full Kansas City roster through the arcade finder.
If you operate this barcade and want the listing kept fresh, the claim-your-listing tool lets owners update hours, machine lists, photos, and pricing directly without waiting on an editor. For visitors comparing adult-leaning barcades side by side, both Up-Down KC and DoubleTap KC are nearby alternatives with their own directory pages worth a look before settling on a final stop.
