Tucked along Burke Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Dive Bar Winston-Salem operates as a barcade — a hybrid spot that pairs a working bar with classic and modern arcade games. The name says it all: this is a tightly run bar with a real arcade floor attached, aimed at adults who want their pinball and cocktails in the same room. The venue fits comfortably into the city’s slate of entertainment options, and its central address on Burke Street keeps it accessible from much of the Piedmont Triad.
Winston-Salem has quietly built a varied gaming scene alongside its breweries and restaurants. Dive Bar Winston-Salem is one of several arcade-style venues in the area, sitting alongside larger operations like Dave & Buster’s Winston-Salem and Adventure Landing Winston-Salem, as well as pinball-focused and VR-focused spots such as Village Square Arcade, Roar, and Ctrl V Virtual Reality Arcade. Together they give the city a mix of casual, family, and adult-only gaming options worth comparing.
For travelers and locals planning a night out, the RetroArcade.com interactive arcade map and the arcade finder directory are useful starting points for comparing venues across the region before deciding where to spend an evening.

Games & Machines
Detailed machine and game inventory for Dive Bar Winston-Salem is not listed in our current directory data. As a barcade, the venue’s draw is the combination of a full bar setting with a functional arcade floor. Visitors can expect the typical adult-oriented arcade mix: standing and cocktail-cabinet video games, pinball machines, and a rotating cast of newer and retro titles — though our directory does not enumerate the exact cabinet rotation. For a confirmed current lineup, the venue’s official site is the most reliable source, and our directory primarily tracks higher-level information such as type, hours, and location rather than individual game lists.
Visiting
The venue sits at 1131 Burke St in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The hours pattern skews toward evenings and weekends, with a Sunday afternoon opening and a full closure on Mondays. Tuesday and Wednesday nights run from 5 PM to midnight, Thursday and Friday nights stretch to 2 AM, and Saturday doors open at noon and close at 2 AM. That makes Saturday the most flexible afternoon-into-late-night option, while Sunday is the only true daytime window of the week.
Food and drink specifics are not listed in our records. As a barcade, the bar side of the operation is implicit; the venue’s website is the best place to confirm the current drink menu and any food service. Likewise, group and party booking details are not in our directory, so guests planning a private event should contact the venue directly through the phone number listed above or through the official site.
