New arcade bar opens in downtown Troy

May 31, 2026 - 20:11

A new entertainment spot has officially opened its doors in downtown Troy, offering a mix of classic arcade games and craft drinks. The venue, which launched earlier this month, features around 30 arcade machines ranging from vintage favorites to modern titles. Patrons can play everything from old-school Pac-Man and Street Fighter to pinball and racing simulators.

The bar aims to create a social atmosphere where guests can enjoy a drink while competing on the machines. The owners say they wanted to fill a gap in the local nightlife scene by combining nostalgia with a comfortable, adult-friendly environment. Unlike a typical arcade, the focus here is on a relaxed lounge vibe with dim lighting and a full bar.

Since opening, the spot has drawn a mix of curious locals and regulars looking for something different. Early reviews highlight the variety of games and the quality of the cocktails. The owners plan to rotate the game selection periodically to keep the experience fresh. For now, the bar is open Wednesday through Sunday, with plans to expand hours based on demand.
