Arcade Bar is a barcade tucked onto Arcade Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, combining the relaxed atmosphere of a neighborhood bar with a playable lineup of classic and modern arcade games. The venue sits in a city known for its mix of historic neighborhoods, craft beer culture, and a deep roster of retro gaming spots. For travelers and locals browsing the broader directory, Arcade Bar represents the kind of late-night spot where pinball cabinets sit next to the taps and visitors can lose an evening to high scores and cold drinks.
St. Paul, the capital city of Minnesota and half of the famous Twin Cities, has built a lively arcade scene that ranges from retro sanctuaries to family-oriented gaming centers. Arcade Bar fits firmly into the bar-side of that spectrum, opening in the early afternoon and running well past midnight every day of the week. Anyone planning a visit can pair a stop here with a sweep of the area’s other notable gaming rooms using the interactive arcade map.
For visitors who prefer to browse by city rather than by neighborhood, the broader arcade finder directory lists every retro and modern gaming venue in the Twin Cities area, including several other St. Paul stops that sit within walking or short driving distance of this one.

The Scene
Arcade Bar falls into the barcade category, meaning the venue is structured as much around drinks and social hangouts as around the games themselves. St. Paul’s gaming and nightlife crowd has long supported this kind of hybrid space, and Arcade Bar holds a 4.4 rating across 299 public reviews — a strong track record for a venue that has to balance two very different customer expectations at once.
Without a published review summary or curated highlights to draw from, a fuller picture of the day-to-day scene will be added once more visitor feedback is collected. In the meantime, the venue’s status as a bar-first arcade (rather than a family entertainment center) tells visitors what to expect: a grown-up atmosphere where the cabinets are part of the décor rather than the main draw, and where late-evening play is the norm. The venue’s consistent 10AM-to-1AM schedule across all seven days of the week supports that bar-leaning identity, giving afternoon visitors and 11PM regulars the same open door.

Games & Machines
Because no detailed cabinet list or features breakdown is currently on file for this venue, a specific game roster is not available to publish. What is known from the venue type is that barcades of this style typically stock a rotating mix of classic arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and sometimes console setups alongside the bar service. Visitors looking for a specific machine — whether it is a particular pinball table, a Street Fighter cabinet, or a modern rhythm game — should call ahead at the number listed in the table above to confirm what is currently on the floor.
The same applies to anyone curious about token-versus-free-play policies, prize redemption, or whether the venue hosts tournaments. Those details are not part of this record and would be confirmed directly with the staff. Updates to the cabinet lineup are also expected to appear on the venue’s official Facebook page, which is the active web presence listed in the directory.
Visiting
Arcade Bar is located at 932 Arcade St in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a corridor of the city that combines residential streets with small commercial storefronts. The address is easy to reach by car, and the venue’s central St. Paul location puts it within reasonable distance of several other gaming rooms in the same city, including the nearby Arcade Bar sister location and sibling spots like CLAW ARCADE, Neko Clawww, #1Gameday, and Grabbit Arcade — all listed in the arcade finder directory for visitors building a multi-stop gaming crawl.
Hours run daily from 10AM to 1AM, making Arcade Bar one of the longer-open barcades in the city and a practical choice for both afternoon visits and post-midnight sessions. As a bar-coded venue, it skews toward an adult audience; families with young children should confirm any age policy or earlier cut-off directly with staff before visiting. Food and drink service is part of the barcade format, and a phone call to +1 651-774-9207 is the simplest way to ask about the current menu, drink specials, or whether the kitchen is open during the visit window. The official web presence is hosted at the venue’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/arcadestbar/.
Private events and party bookings are not described in the current record, so inquiries should go through the phone line or the Facebook page.
