Rec Room Bar and Arcade operates as a barcade in Southern Pines, North Carolina — a town in the Sandhills region that sits inside the same search grid as Fayetteville for this arcade directory. Because the listing’s city field is set to Fayetteville based on the closest grid point (49.3 km from a Fayetteville reference), travelers using our arcade finder may see it surface under Fayetteville results even though the physical address is in Southern Pines. That distinction matters when planning a route: the venue is well outside the Fayetteville city limits and should be treated as a separate destination.
The venue pairs adult beverage service with arcade and pinball play under the barcade format, and the public response has been strong. The listing carries a 4.9 rating aggregated across 1,700 reviews, which is a notable volume of feedback for a town the size of Southern Pines. Its own website at recroomsouthernpines.com confirms the bar-and-games hybrid concept and is the right first stop for anyone planning a visit during a specific week.
Southern Pines is more commonly associated in the regional imagination with golf resorts and equestrian events than with retro gaming, so Rec Room functions as an evening alternative for visitors who want to extend a day on the courses or the trails into a night of pinball and cabinets. It also pairs naturally with other regional venues surfaced through the interactive arcade map.

The Scene
Because the listing does not currently include a structured review summary or theme-level highlights, the picture below is built only from the venue category and the rating volume — both of which point in the same direction. With 1,700 reviews averaging 4.9 stars, Rec Room Bar and Arcade has the kind of large-sample, near-perfect score that is uncommon for a small-market venue, barcade or otherwise.
Barcades typically run a casual, adult-oriented atmosphere: lower lighting than a family arcade, a focus on the bar list as much as the game list, and a steady after-work and weekend crowd rather than daytime family traffic. Rec Room’s opening pattern supports that read. The doors open at 11 a.m. on weekend afternoons and stay open until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, while Mondays run the shortest day of the week and the midweek stays open later than Monday but still closes at 10 p.m.
Games & Machines
The directory does not currently hold a verified lineup for Rec Room Bar and Arcade, so specific cabinets and pinball titles are not listed here. As a barcade, the venue’s format points toward a curated mix of pinball, classic upright arcade games, and modern multiplayer or rhythm games, paired with a staffed bar — but the exact rotation changes, and the venue itself is the authoritative source for what is on the floor on a given night. The website at recroomsouthernpines.com and a phone call to +1 910-725-0828 are the most reliable ways to confirm the current machine count, any cover charge or token policy, and whether leagues or tournaments are scheduled.
Visiting
Rec Room Bar and Arcade is listed at Southern Pines, NC, with the phone line +1 910-725-0828 ringing directly into the venue. Hours lean toward a late-night, after-work pattern: Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. That schedule makes Friday and Saturday the clear late-evening options, while Mondays are the shortest day and Sundays close earliest among the weekend days.
Because the listing does not include an age policy, a formal food menu, or an event-booking channel here, visitors should confirm those details with the venue directly before making a special trip — especially any group planning around minors, since barcades by category tend to lean 21-and-over after a certain hour. Other regional arcade-style venues that may pair with a Southern Pines outing include Stop Button Bar, Main Event Fayetteville, and Omni Plaza, all of which sit in the same Fayetteville coverage corridor surfaced by the directory.
