I go here about once every four to six weeks and always enjoy Tapcade night. 420 burrito is the best burrito around. Wings are good. Staff is always friendly. Games are fun. Prices are reasonable. Beer selection is pretty good. Service is good. For an arcade bar, what could you complain about?

Greatest stuff, 420 burrito and KC poutine are the best, awesome selection of arcade classics!

$5 all you can play arcade games! Some of the games didn't start, but my key favorites did and we're really fun. There is a limited food menu, but everyone in my group enjoyed their order. :)

Came for the 5 year anniversary celebration today, as the specials were fantastic--but I've been here dozens of times, as this is one of my favorite spots in Kansas City. Part theater, part arcade gamer hangout, part local-enthused draft bar, Tapcade owns the hearts of local geeks and brewers.

This is the perfect place for a very casual meetup with friends, a date, what have you.

Arcade is full of retro games and for $5 all you can play arcade, you can't go wrong. This place was a lot of fun and a great time. Only issue, bar full of people and only two bartenders and getting drinks was a nightmare. I waited over 20 minutes for one drink and to get my stamp to play the arcade. But the atmosphere and games really were great.

Complete garbage food. Eat before you come here. Chicken is legitimately inedible. There's only about 25 arcade machines so it's not really worth your time.

We went for the Swanson burger then added a Texas Massacre and a Love Child. Some of the best burgers ever and messiest. The fries are worth a mention too! We had as much fun playing Ms. Pac-Man as we did decades ago. We will definitely go back for the food and the fun.

Cheap games ($5 unlimited) and a large selection of beer on tap. Bar food on the menu but the BBQ nachos were amazing!
My first visit. It was a great time with good food. I hope to visit again.

Very nice and helpful staff. Super cool place to chill and play some retro games and get some food with drinks! VERY affordable and your stamp lasts all day. So you can leave and come back without having to pay again.

Really cool place, great beer selection but the shame is for most of the major machines that you expect people to play they either have joysticks that are gummed up and not responsive enough to play enjoyably or for example I was pumped to play metal slug but the jump button kept jamming and sticking in it's socket. Pinball machines are great but only three of them. I wasn't able to try the food or cocktails while I was there.

Went here during a convention time and it was AWESOME!! A bunch of arcade cabinets for those gamers, a place full of nerds and geeks to talk to, and all in a really cosy atmosphere. But let’s say you don’t like video games and you were dragged here by some friends. Movies are shown all around the place, with special theme nights every now and then! Oh, and this place IS a bar, so there’s gotta be some good food (for a burger person, top tier, top tier!)
