Fed Hill isn't short on unique bar experiences and GameOn's Fed Hill location is no exception. While small it's a nice little place to bring a couple of friends, play some games and kickback. I recommend getting the adult Capri suns or slushies! But the cocktails and draft beer menu are also pretty good too! read more

We had theee best time here! Bar and kitchen staff were the bomb! The games and variety was dope as hell too! For a second it got a little busy, but it was still a vibe! I will definitely be back. I tend to find a place like this in every city I've lived. I love that for meeeee! Shout out to Game on! read more

Fun, fun , fun. If you're looking for a chill bar with good drinks and delicious food with a bit of video game nostalgia, then Game On is your place. Located in Federal Hill across from the old Mother's bar, Game On offers it all. Delicious bar snacks from wings and mozzarella sticks to delicious sandwiches and wraps and hot dogs to an abundance of cocktails from orange crushes and green tea shots. They also have weekly specials that are really good like on Saturdays the seltzers, green tea shots and bombs are only 5 bucks. Let's get into the video games, they have all the classics such as Qbert, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, various pinball machines, Skeeball, PAC-man and Ms PAC-man to name a few. The games take tokens only and they have a machine inside to provide you with the tokens. This place is great for a group outing and they offer party packages where you can host an event to include open bar and food packages. Me and my gym friends really had a good time and will definitely return. read more

MY FAVORITE BAR!!! This one and the game on in Columbia since I live right there. There is nothing bad I can say about this place. I'm glad they moved to where the old banditos used to be at. It's way bigger, it feels like a club and bar scene now and not a closet. I love the staff, they're all a lot of fun, and I love the food! The fried pickles are addicting so beware. I will say the drinks are a little pricey, HOWEVER, they're signature cocktails, so it's more than just pouring a shot into a glass and dating here you go. You can order something like that if you want to, but the drinks are really good. Location is safe, but if it you go in a Friday or Saturday night...all the college kids are out, that's anywhere in fed hill. Otherwise, I highly recommend them! read more

Our kids loved this place, located right in Federal Hill. We've been to the other locations of this chain including Anapolis, and right off 14th Street in Washington. The bar is pretty tiny, but it had the basics like Skee-ball, arcade games and a fun open back patio with free games like a gigantic Jenga and connect four. Service is a little slow, but overall was friendly. read more

We went here with a group just to kill time before an Orioles game. I must say it was a whole vibe! Tons of old school games and awesome art on the walls! The bartenders are awesome and bubbly. They have a shot wheel you can spin. We have not eaten here yet but i do want to try their brunch. Looks like they have a good mimosa special! Great spot where adults can have something else to do besides just sit at a bar. read more

I had to highlight this location specifically because I don't think their outside dining is presented the way other locations are. You are able to sit outside but have the best view of the city still. I loveeeed that. Keep it up GameOn! read more

What a fun addition to the area. These type of bars are popping up more and more and it's so fun to have access to some of the vintage games that most of us grew up playing. The atmosphere of the bar/arcade is fun for sure and great not just for adults but for kids as well! Such a great place if you're looking for something to do with your kids or a large group as everyone can jump around playing whatever they like. The service here is amazing too! The ladies at the bar were interactive and did not shy if you had a question or issues (like I did with the one machine not working properly). The only thing is the drinks. Most of the drinks are pre-made and while some accommodations can be made, for the price they're charging, I personally did not think they were worth it. The beers on the other hand might be more appropriate for the cost. I opted for the Kirby and butter beer drink and both were overly sweet and while some might say it's a good thing that you cannot taste the alcohol, I didn't even feel it either. read more

We took a trip to Baltimore back in August. This was one of the places we visited. We went during the day since we had a teenager with us and its adults only after a certain time. She had fun playing the games. Bring cash in order to get tokens to play games. We didn't eat or drink here, we spent about a hour and a half playing arcade games. read more

Amazing, larger space, multiple bars. Would be 5 stars if they opened earlier in the day. Beverages were amazing. The guy fixing the machines was a looker, too. Top notch everything. read more

We booked this venue for a private event and loved everything about it. The staff was incredibly helpful, bar food was tasty and kept on coming the whole night. Impressive beer selection. All the arcade games worked. People loved the photo booth in the back. The DJ booth and screen were a hub for the whole party. The space was the perfect size for 75 people. Casey helped us plan everything over email, and Bryan and Dominique and the whole crew were great the day of. We would love to hold other events here in the future. read more

First time visiting and I'd been looking forward to it! Had such a fun time, great drinks with awesome specials, and the vibe was super chill. The entertainment added a nostalgic touch that made the night even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for the drinks and atmosphere. read more

You know, I have been a little bias with adult centric gaming spaces for years esp. ones that also allow children. But GameOn has it on lock. They did very well with the build out and curated, interactive space. The bar is well stocked and the bartenders are TENDING!!!!!!! Although I didn't eat the food was prepared quickly and was served hot. Went to this space part of a large group through a collaborative effort and everyone seemed pretty satisfied. Would absolutely go again. read more

The bar is on the more vintage side as far decor and overall feel, which essentially gets at the whole concept. Throwback arcade games in the bar setting. I believe they have food options, but I didn't get any this time around. GLOWS: -Cool vintage games -Speakeasy located upstairs (with delicious mocktails too) - Bar area downstairs was a nice vibe, good 90's hip hop playing with cool ppl seated at the bar -Cool art work on the walls read more

I've been wanting to go here for a while. I was able to stop in and I definitely enjoyed my time here. Everything is for the most part on autopilot here. You get your tokens from the machine and play. Unless you want drinks/food which I didn't get any of. My friends did and they enjoyed the spin the wheel drink special. You pay 4.00 and spin. Whatever the wheel lands on is the drink that's made. This place brought me back to my childhood days. They have so many fun games that I haven't seen in a while. I played a lot. Got to spend time with my friends. They have a pretty basic menu. And even adult capri suns. I will have to try the food another time. One thing. For some reason I thought a double dragon machine would be here. Owners if you're reading this...Bring it! Please read more

The family decided to spend a day in Baltimore and Game on and Bar was one of the activities . This place is in a convenient location in Baltimore and nice neighborhood . The games were reasonable and accept real coins (Quarters) and tokens . In addition, the bar has a reasonable priced bar and Happy Hour . I had a cider but try the food however bar food is sold like chicken and pizza .The only decline was, some games needed a repair. For example, I wanted to play the " old school" duck hunt but the game system needed repairing . But overall, we had a great time ! read more

Came for the 5.00 Green Tea shots, stayed for the Quarter games. Recently hit GameOn on a Saturday and wasnt disappointed. I arrive at about 8ish. It started getting really packed about 9. While here had the GreenTea shots, wings and fries. 1st round of green tea shots were perfection and the serving size was great. 2nd round was in communion-esque cups that barely wet your teeth. LOL. I'll say they need to work on consistency of serving sizes between bartenders. Otherwise, the drink was pretty boozy. No complaints there. Food menu is standard bar (fried and fast. That means wings, fries and burgers). No complaints on food. Wings was perfectly cooked and the fries was fryin... They had a nice array of games (.25- 1.00) and cool mural decor. Additionally they do have a coin machine so you can grab a pile a quarters. The math is mathin' on this spot, so I'd definitely visit again. Especially since they do have buck mimosa's on sundays! SYOY! read more

It's about time a barcade has come to Federal Hill. The entire decor of the place really brought back '90s video game vibes. They have graffiti'd wall paintings from Super Mario to The Simpsons. The entire place really created a nostalgic atmosphere. Although the beer prices, in my opinion, are a bit on the higher end ($7 can beer and $6 draft beer), they also serve $7 slushies, $5 Jell-O shots, $11 crushes, specialty cocktails ranging from $11-$13, and both bottles and glass of wine. The bar itself has three floors. The first two floors have a bar and arcade games. The second floor also has two pinball machines, an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) , and foosball. The third floor is a speakeasy with a lounge area. Unfortunately, the speakeasy wasn't open on Sunday. The downside was that a few of the arcade games were faulty. For instance, the Ninja Turtle game is a 4-player game, but you can only one person can play and that too, as Donatello. I lost some quarters trying to play 2 player that game. There was also a Time Crisis shooting game that was unfortunately also only one player because the other gun didn't work. Overall, it's really nice to see a barcade show up in Federal Hill. On Mondays they are closed, but otherwise they stay open til 2 AM. They have coin machines to give out quarters as well. It's a great place to hangout with friends or to go out on a date night. The bartenders are very nice and the overall, ambience was very '90s retro. read more

I checked this spot out last weekend for the second time. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the bartender which was nice. The first floor was pretty crowded, and the space is a bit small so I headed to the top floor which is where the speakeasy part is located. It was pretty deserted up there, but the bartender was extremely friendly and had some great recommendations based on the specialty cocktails on the speakeasy menu. Ultimately, I opted for my standard tequila/sprite order and called it a day. I didn't have any coins or cash to convert to coins so I wasn't able to play any of the games, but there were tons of machines and games to choose from. This place has so much potential and would really be a fun summer hangout if they had any sort of outdoor space. It's a bit dark and cramped for the summer. All in all, I think it's a vibe and definitely could be fun on a rainy day or in the winter when it's way too cold to be outside. read more

Visited GameOn with friends and had a great time! They have a fun drink menu that made it hard to choose from! I ended up trying the Level 2 Slushie and a Strawberry Jello Shot. The Level 2 Slushie was great, and sweet just how I wanted. The Strawberry Jello Shot came in a syringe which was funny! As for food, we had the pretzels with beer cheese and the chips and French onion dip. They were both good and your classic bar food snacks. They also had more food options and dessert options that we will have to try another time! As for the games, they has a variety of old classics and a few four players games which was great for our group. The vibe of the bar is very laid back and chill, which we loved. The bartender there was also so great! He was quick and friendly, and we loved talking to him. We will definitely be back! read more

It seems like these Game Ons are popping up everywhere (I just passed by one in Annapolis). I can't complain though--I love a good arcade/barcade. This place gives off old school arcade vibes. There's a machine that breaks your dollars into quarters, classic arcade and pinball machines as you'd expect, and fun artistic riffs on classic arcade/comic book characters on the walls. The games aren't free but the ones I played were only a quarter to play. They even have an NES classic! Drinks are reasonably priced and the staff is friendly enough. Check it out when you're in Fed Hill! read more

I had a great time here this past weekend celebrating my brother's birthday! I cannot recommend them enough, we had a lot of fun!! They are affordable, in a great space and convenient location, and service is good too. You can find people who also have similar interests playing games so it can be a nice place to go and socialize. They offer alcoholic drinks so it's not a place I would recommend to bring kids, it's more adult focused, but kids are allowed and one was there when I was there. There are two levels with stairs and no elevator, so be mindful of that if you have any mobility issues. Plenty of seating at the bar and upstairs if you wanted to bring a group, and most games are veryyy affordable. You could come here with only $10-15 and play to your heart's content. $30-40 is enough for food and games, depending on how much food you want, and how many games you want to play. The only thing to be very mindful of is parking! A lot of the parking is permit or private parking so be prepared to pay for meter parking, which is available right out front and across the street. Read the signs! They have handicapped parking as well. I paid $12 for a personal pizza that seemed very close to a regular sized pizza, $3 for a TMNT popsicle, and my Mom got French fries. They serve typical bar food but it was all really good. They have traditional arcade games like PacMan, Gran Turismo, and pinball games. They even have a screen & controllers to play Mario Kart. I can't wait to go back! read more

This experience was great. Went here for a friend's birthday we had the party room. The bartenders were amazing. The food was delicious and everyone was so nice and helpful. It's much bigger than it looks and has all the arcade games you can think of. The party package was 20 a person included 2 drink tickets and 12 tokens. I can't wait to go back. Also they have great drink deals for each night. A great time!! read more

If you enjoy good drinks, food, conversations and ARCADE GAMES then this is the place for you. This place has a bunch of games like pinball, Galaga, Mario, TMNT Pac-Man and more! They have 3 coin machines so you don't have to worry about asking the bartender if they have change for a $5. You walk in and the first thing you notice is the cartoon art painted on every corner of the walls. Whoever the artist is, S/O to you! I was pretty much addicted to the Marvel VS Capcom game :). I ordered the STARFIRE as a drink and honestly I only needed one. Bartender made it perfectly My only request would for them to have a super smash bros game or tournaments! Either for the N64 or GameCube. I would love for that to be a thing and I'm sure it would bring in a crowd. Street parking is pretty easy before 9, but it get a little packed after. read more

The vibes are pretty chill, great spot for a weeknight after work to catch up with friends with some beers and retro games. I would highly recommend the "Cold Ass Beer," apparently it is a beer brewed by the local brewery, Monument City Brewing Co. Parking is tricky, I would recommend parking at the parking garage or park by the Federal Hill Park. I docked 1 star point because some of the retro game machines didn't work after putting 2-4 quarters and unfortunately I didn't get my quarters back. read more

Came with a group of friends last night and had a lot of fun! Plenty of free 2 hour street parking just a block away. Others have described the place pretty well, but I really loved the artwork. Great variety of different games--some are free, others require quarters but are cheap enough. We also had issues getting the multiplayer to work on a few games (and subsequently lost a few quarters to the machine), but no biggie. All in all, a great time and such a cool place! read more

We stopped by GameOn with our kiddos during a rainy day in Baltimore. We were in town for a few hours and wanted to find something to do to fill the time that wasn't in the Inner Harbor, which we assumed would be crowded. GameOn was perfect- my hubs and I grabbed a quick craft beer and the kids cashed in all our bills for tokens. They had a wide variety of games from old school arcade games to skee ball to pin ball. Our kids loved the Pin Ball. At $1 a pop it was a bit pricey for the old-school arcade vibe, but was fairly priced when compared to other games. The Skee Ball was $1 as well which seemed absurd. Most of the machine-style games were 1-3 tokens. For a quick activity it did the trick - we would definitely visit here again if the need arose (meaning when we're being tourists, we like to be outside as much as possible, but if it is rainy or cold, this is a great stop!). read more

Great spot to hang out! Jimbo was the best bartender and gave our whole family the royal treatment. 11/10 will be coming back.

Alright so first off is props to them for opening up a barcade! We definitely need more of them in Baltimore and they've got some fun and solid games. I went on a preview night and the vibe and decorations are great and the drinks were good overall (some bartenders still learning their thing so some were a big miss) and the food available was extremely simple and limited but fine. I worry about the flow if it was a crowded night and they need some more pinball, but nothing that worried me too much. Really like the 3rd floor speakeasy through the telephone booth and the drinks up there were on point. Hope to come back when they're in full swing and change this to a 5! read more

This place was ok, not a bad place to start or end a night but it's not somewhere I would spend the entire night. The drinks were very sweet but the price was right.

Fun bar! Only the first two floors were open on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered a beer and a fruit punch and both were great. There were tons of games on each floor, as well as coin machines. We enjoyed playing the games, like pac man and big buck hunter. Most of the games were about 50 cents a game. It did feel like there wasn't a lot of space on the two floors- as we were leaving, two larger groups came in and it felt a bit crowded. Apparently there is a third floor with a lounge, which might accommodate bigger groups. But otherwise, we had a lot of fun coming in on an off time and playing some games with a drink. Definitely worth a visit and we will definitely check out their Annapolis location! read more

Loved the gamers vibe here! It felt good to see arcade games I played years ago. I had plenty of quarters with me but I was very delighted to see the classic Change machine! There are 3 stories with a bar on each of them. I'm glad this place is here, I definitely will come back here frequently. :-) read more

A fun barcade in Baltimore. Three floors with a bar per floor, and a multitude of old timer arcade games and pinball machines. Differing prices on the games, hence the 4 star. The pinball machines for example are a buck a pop, yet street fighter 2 is still $0.25. The people behind the bars are great. Change machines are $1 and $5 only, so bring cash. Bar tenders have smaller bills. Parking is on the street, and a great place to stop before going over to Camden Yards. read more

I finally got around to checking out this new arcade bar that opened up a couple months ago. I wasn't sure what to expect, but my friends and I had such a great time here. There's a downstairs and upstairs, both of which have a bar area and a selection of games to play. All the games accept quarters and the prices very between .25 cents to $1. They have an atm and change machine on the first floor that you can use to get quarters. They have a variety of games including pinball, Duckhunt, PAC-Man, Mario, retro ice hockey, and many more games to choose from. Between four of us we spent about 10$ in games, which gave us a good amount of play time. The photo booth was the most expensive thing there, at $5 to use, won't be doing that again. I will say it was a little disappointing that we couldn't get multiplayer to work on a few of the arcade games and one of the controllers wasn't working for the free Mario kart game that they had upstairs. We didn't eat while here, but had a couple beers that were reasonably priced and a round of $5 fireball shots. They also offer $5 jello-shots as well. Will definitely be coming back here again with my friends. read more
