I should have looked it up.
Ben KeeneGUEST
There's a place in New Jersey just over the river called Barcade.

And it was, it's kind of like a mini chain of bars in the northeast that were early to the idea of like pairing video games and pinball and stuff like that with a craft beer, like a big craft beer selection.

StephenHOST
But eventually we came across some arcades, which were great.
StephenHOST
We went to Barcade, which didn't seem to have like the best games.
StephenHOST
It was just like, you know, it had stuff, but it wasn't like, oh my God, this is an amazing place.
StephenHOST
But it was pretty fun for what they did have.
