Some people's idea of a romantic nightspot involves candles, slow jams, and a heart-shaped box of candy. But for girls on the hunt for that elusive small-torsoed, tight-jeaned, floppy-haired species known as the Emoboyis Williamsburgus, there's no better pick-up spot than Barcade. Here, finding and chatting up prime specimens is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel--or, more accurately, as easy as shooting aliens in Moon Patrol, one of almost thirty vintage arcade games that give Barcade its name. The airy, loft-like space never feels crowded, and there’s plenty of room to sit and watch Union Avenue’s finest compete for high scores of all varieties. Most importantly, the rotating list of more than 20 microbrews includes many local beers on tap. The heavyweight ones, with names like Sixpoint Diesel and higher-than-usual alcohol contents, may be just what’s needed to seal the deal with that dude in the faded Smiths T-shirt--or to sabotage your opponent at two-player Tetris.
From CitySearch
The Scene: This industrial-sized drinking and gaming space hides on Williamsburg's still-sleepy Union Avenue. A large bar keeps more than 20 taps running, but the attraction here is the wide selection of '80s-era video games, like Asteroids, Frogger and Donkey Kong. Slim wooden counters between the games provide a place to stash your pint.The Draw: Lest the set-up be too reminiscent of a friend's 8th birthday party, a heavy '90s alt-rock soundtrack conjures memories of high school, and the extensive beer list is comfortably grown-up. An ever-changing giant chalkboard over the bar lists the varieties, and photocopied menus detail each brew. For those with a competitive streak, a smaller blackboard on the opposite wall lists high scores. Plus, the abundance of beer and video games skews the boy-to-girl ratio. It can be a great place to meet guys--if they can be distracted from Ms. Pac-Man.
