Half Baked is a video arcade tucked into a walkable stretch of N High St in Columbus, Ohio — a corridor known for galleries, restaurants, and late-night hangouts. The venue occupies 765 N High St and operates as a dedicated arcade space rather than a token-festooned family entertainment center, a setup that fits the unusually late hours it keeps throughout the week.
Open daily from 4:15PM until 2:30AM, Half Baked caters to the after-work and late-night crowd that gravitates to this part of town. The venue keeps the same schedule every day of the week, so visitors do not need to consult a calendar before heading over. Those looking for more arcade options within Columbus can also browse the broader arcade finder directory or scan the interactive arcade map for nearby spots.
Columbus has built out a deep roster of gaming venues in recent years, and Half Baked sits alongside well-known neighbors like Pins Mechanical Co. and Game Arena for visitors who want to make a circuit of the city’s pinball and cabinet scene.

Games & Machines
The record classifies Half Baked as a video arcade, the kind of venue where classic and modern cabinet play is the main draw. This directory’s internal data does not include a specific game or machine breakdown for this location, so individual titles are not listed here. In a market where some pinball-forward bars rotate their lineups weekly, dedicated video arcades like Half Baked tend to anchor around a steady roster of cabinet staples that visitors can count on seeing on return trips.
Visitors who want to know exactly what is on the floor — current cabinets, pinball machines, redemption games, or anything else — should check the venue’s website at halfbakedbrew.com or call ahead at +1 614-670-4020 for the most up-to-date lineup.
Visiting
Half Baked sits at 765 N High St in Columbus, Ohio, on a corridor that anchors the gallery and nightlife scene just north of downtown. Parking in the neighborhood is a mix of street spots and small pay lots; visitors coming from outside the area generally have the easiest time after 6PM, when rush-hour traffic on High Street has thinned. The phone line is +1 614-670-4020 for anyone who wants to confirm hours before making the trip.
The schedule is unusually consistent: doors open at 4:15PM every day of the week and stay open until 2:30AM, including Sundays. That makes Half Baked a reliable late-night option in a city where many arcade-style bars wind down by midnight. The hours fit an after-work and late-night crowd rather than a daytime family format, so plan accordingly.
Half Baked’s location on N High St also puts it within walking distance of several other bars and galleries, which makes it a natural stop on a wider evening crawl through the neighborhood.
