Barcadia: Dallas’ Latest Arcade Watering Hole

Barcadia will be what its name suggests: a mishmash of a watering hole and a 12-game arcade situated in a 3,000-square-foot building at 1917 N. Henderson Ave. … Remember Galaxia? Ms. Pac Man? Frogger? Would-be players won’t be forced to feed six coins into games to play. Barcadia’s owners, Humphries and Billy Blatty, are committed to keeping each play a reasonable and traditional 25 cents.

Joel is a fan of Brooklyn’s Barcade, but now I’ll be able to enjoy my own retro bar and arcade when Barcadia opens in Dallas mid-October. Hit me up if you are ever interested in an ass-kicking in Galaga.

Factoid: Barcadia’s co-owner’s father is William Blatty, the mind behind the novel and screenplay of “The Exorcist”.
