Quarter Up Bar + Arcade sits in Akron, Ohio, where it operates as one of the city’s go-to barcades — a hybrid of neighborhood bar and coin-op gaming floor that has become a familiar stop for casual players, after-work crowds, and weekend groups. With its directory category listed under “Grill” and a phone line based in Akron’s 330 area code, the venue reads as a sit-down, food-and-drink-forward arcade rather than a pure-play pinball hall or family entertainment center. It carries a strong visitor rating and a long roster of reviews that suggests steady traffic from both locals and travelers passing through Northeast Ohio.
Akron, the largest city in Summit County, has quietly developed a small but noticeable cluster of gaming venues, and Quarter Up is part of that same-city group alongside neighbors like THE WORKZ on the Riverfront, MLJ Arcade, Game On Arcade, and Grizzly Arcade. Visitors planning a barcade crawl in the area can use the RetroArcade.com arcade finder to map out options across town, or jump straight to the interactive arcade map for a visual layout of the city’s gaming spots.

The Scene
Quarter Up Bar + Arcade reads as a grown-up take on the classic arcade, where attention is split between a working grill menu and a playable gaming floor. The 4.6-star average across 823 Google reviews points to a venue that has consistently satisfied both the food-and-drink crowd and the players who came specifically for the games. Late hours Wednesday through Saturday — staying open until 12 AM on weeknights and 1 AM on Friday and Saturday — make it a natural fit for after-dinner visits and post-event stops. Weekday afternoons are quieter, with a 4 PM open from Monday through Wednesday and an early noon open on Sunday for brunch-and-games outings. No aggregated review themes are on file in this record, so a more specific snapshot of guest impressions would need to come from the venue’s own site at quarter-up.com.
Games & Machines
Specific game and machine details from the venue’s online presence aren’t on file in this directory record, so a definitive cabinet list can’t be quoted here. Based on the barcade format alone, visitors can generally expect a mix of classic and modern coin-op cabinets, likely including pinball and possibly redemption games, paired with a bar setup rather than ticket counters. The “Grill” category tag reinforces that the gaming floor is part of a broader eat-and-drink operation rather than a standalone game room. For a current, on-site lineup, quarter-up.com is the best source.
Visiting
Quarter Up Bar + Arcade is located in Akron, OH, with a 330 area-code phone line at +1 330-752-4080 for direct questions. The weekly hours run noon to 10 PM on Sunday, 4 PM to 10 PM on Monday and Tuesday, 4 PM to midnight on Wednesday and Thursday, 4 PM to 1 AM Friday, and noon to 1 AM Saturday — making Saturday the longest day of the week and Monday the earliest close. With a category tag of “Grill,” the venue pairs its games with a working kitchen, and the barcade format implies a 21-and-up posture for the bar side rather than an all-ages family-center layout.
