The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery

We had a great time here this evening! We are currently road tripping from Ohio and were looking for something that would be fun for us and also our five year old. Our daughter absolutely loved the arcade games, of course, and we all loved the food. We got a Bowser pizza and it had the perfect amount of spice. We also got the Princess Peach dessert pizza, which was very tasty. Between my husband and I, we tried three different QB beers and enjoyed all of them. Service was great! It wasn’t too crazy when we got there around 5, but was packed when we left. Our daughter asked if we could “plllllleeeeease” come back — and we certainly will if we are ever in Cedar Rapids again!

One of the best arcades I've been to. We had apps and beer, both were flavorful and good. Went back the next day for pizza, it's great. Four rows of vintage arcade games are cash, most are quarters, pinball is 50c to 1$ play. Seemingly set at release. There is an ATM and change machine. Edit: add we went back for pizza. And to make it clear there are arcade machines too! Like missle command, Ms PAC man, TMNT, donkey Kong. All seemingly original machines.

We went to The Quarter Barrel for the first time on October 21st. It was the perfect spot for our date night. My first impression was that instead of the usual sports channels you see on tv in any bar and grill David Bowie’s ‘Labyrinth’ was playing and it was a really cool vibe. We had the Greek nachos and the Birria pizza. The nachos were really flavorful and filling. By the time our pizza came we were full and ready to get to the games! (Rest assured we did take the pizza back to our hotel and enjoy it later and it was amazing too). There’s also tons of different drink options so you’ll have no problem spotting an old favorite or trying something new that you’ll really like. Our server, I’m so sorry if I got his name wrong, Jacob was really great he got our drinks to us quickly each time and when we asked for our to-go box he kindly checked in with us to make sure it wasn’t an issue of being displeased with our order. They have an atm, coin machine, and cup dispenser available so getting your quarters is super easy and convenient. The selection of games is good and there is definitely something for everyone there are even a few free play games available if you’re just looking for a cheap passtime while your food is coming along. All around, it was a really good experience and we can’t wait to come back.
