This place was super fun. Incredible nostalgia with the n64 and SNES. Great drinks too - cocktails for 11 bucks these days is ridiculously cheap. Chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks were delicious. Will definitely be back!

The atmosphere is truest a gamer's cave. There are so many kinds of video games here for those who love to play fighting games or even the retro coin playing games. The food is very good as I drunkenly ordered the garlic parm fries TWICE because of how delicious it was The bartenders were nice and made sure to ask if I want to keep my tab open or closed. There are promotions like spending a certain amount of money (on an open tab) will allow you to get the unlimited access to some of the games) I would come here again if my gamer friends ask to go out and drink! What a pleasant experience

Honestly, Barcode is one of my go-tos when it comes to recommending bars in Orange County. The retro neon sci-fi look of the bar with its displays of nerd culture through the decades, mixed with pockets of different old and new gaming options makes it easy to come back over and over and have a completely different experience. The themed cocktails are more than just "mai tai with a different name," which, as my mother and former bartender always told me: if you can make it at home, it's not worth getting at a bar. So it means that pretty much everything on their menu is fair game (but I do recommend trying out the Shoryuken or the Joker). And as far as bar food goes, I'm in love with the fried zucchini sticks and nacho fries. Someday maybe I'll even work up the courage to get friends to split the dumpster fire, and rave about that in a review too.

Barcode is the place to be great drinks lotta vintage arcade and you get to play one of the best free fight to play that name Alex Valer. I went there for the first time with John Choi, eggs and Bacon and we really enjoyed it. There's great restaurants around good parking and arcade is pretty cheap to play here too. GgggGGgg gunit!

If your idea of fun is video games and drinks, then Barcode arcade is the place for you! I love the vibe of this "barcade." The fun LED lighting, figures and collectinles on display, and mix of console games and arcade cabinets are the perfect aesthetic combination. The menu is full of game-themed cocktails and there's a great selection of beer too. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming. They helped us get our drinks quickly as a line started forming. We only had time for a round of drinks this time, but next time I definitely want to play some games.

Barcode is a great establishment that has been around for seven years. Great people, good food, nice games and amazing drinks! I recommend the space dust ipa, princess peach, shoryuken, the Chappelle.

We had just finished dinner at Ruth's Chris in Anaheim (will write that review soon), when we decided we weren't ready to go home yet. Checked our phones to see what was fun to do nearby and we came up with Barcode! Just 7 minutes away. Big private lot in a newer area of Garden Grove. We got carded at the door. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the friendly staff (including the owner, Rich) and a big crackling fire in the patio area. 3 pinball machines. Wall to wall arcade games. Lots of tables to hang out. Didn't get any food, but what I saw looked good! Full bar. Highly recommend Barcode for great drinks in a fun atmosphere!

Love this concept so much! A bar with arcade games? Just be prepared to switch your money into quarters (or bring some) if you want to play these games. My friends and I shared the Dumpster Fire, which comes with Garlic Parm Tator Tots, Onion Rings, Mozzarella Sticks, and 10 Chicken Tenders! We chose the Lemon Pepper flavor and it was perfectly seasoned, not too powdery. One tip is to each the mozzarella sticks when it first comes out so it still has the stringy factor or else you'll just be eating a cold block of cheese (unless you like that haha). There are concept cocktails that were pretty interesting, but feel free to ask the bar for customized drinks too depending on whether or not they have the ingredients! This is a great place to come if you want a small place to hang and have a drink with your friends. There's an outside area with plenty of space and seating as long as you're there quick enough. Such a hidden gem!
