    just seems like this bar is more tailored towards people that are of the younger crowd not the…read moreolder crowd that used to go there. I didn't feel welcomed and I felt like there was drugs and other weird things going on just wasn't my scene. I loved it when Sarah was working there. That seemed like the time when it was a great bar now it just seems like a place for people would just clicks to meet up. No sense of people wanting to be together as a group and that's just in my opinion and what I've seen as compared to other places I've been in Raleigh. I would love to be proved wrong. Please show me or tell me I'm wrong.. It has been nine months since I've been in the place.

    Not sure how this place has the rating it does. That or I really came in on the wrong night. It was…read moreFriday night and the bar was pretty empty. I came in with a very large group of people and the bartenders mode instantly went south, because of the upcoming packers game and how invested she was into the game. She didn't want to take our orders and when she did she was very reluctant to do so. I ordered one drink and when I closed my tab i made the mistake of giving her my card before seeing what i was going to be charged for. I ended up being charged $17 for my one beer and when i brought it to her attention she was cursing me out and telling how much all she wanted to do was watch the game. I kept my cool and tried my best to de escalate i even offered to just sign the receipt just to be over it and she ended up crumpling the receipt up. Im not sure why but im pretty sure she is a tweaker. After this episode she literally told me to watch the bar while she went to the bathroom and im not even kidding she was gone for 10-15 minutes. I really do not recommend this place unless you plan to be verbally assaulted. Or just want an interesting story to tell people about.

    I stopped by Boxcar with a few friends on a Monday and we had a great time! There was hardly…read moreanybody else in there, so we were able to play any of the games we wanted easily. On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

    We came here for the first time last Sunday afternoon. It was a very cool spot and a great value!…read more The arcade is pretty big, with a wide variety of games. Tokens are reasonably priced and older style arcade games only take 1- the more interactive or multi player games (think air hockey, basketball, dance dance etc) take 4. They have free popcorn, daily drink specials, and drinks were very reasonably priced. Despite being fairly busy, service at the bar was friendly and fast- I was impressed! Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.
