Cobra Arcade Bar

Phoenix


Nostalgia overload for Gen X and its predecessors, this slinky downtown bar has 40 vintage arcade games to accompany 14 different draft beers and game-themed cocktails (try the Crazy Kong: Irish whiskey, banana liqueur, lemon and ginger beer). Settle in and see if you can clock Galaga. At 25¢ per game, the prices are vintage, too.
