There’s a place called the stop button in NC hopemills area that has the same deals, 10 bucks to get in all you can play and past I believe 7 it’s adult time and the bar is open..great place..this one is way bigger..I’d love to visit this one day
Absolutely awesome! I am 55 and hung out in arcades in the 'golden era' so this brings me tears of joy! You guys are fabulous! Would love to see you film at night when everyone is playing.
10 bucks to play Gauntlet all day! That’s worth it right there! I can’t tell you how many Rolls of quarters I used to put into that machine, for hours! Lol. That place looks awesome. I miss the old arcades, such a huge part of the 80s teen years.
Thank you, Sam for keeping the retro arcade gaming scene alive. Looks like an amazing arcade. Better than any modern arcade that are just ticket game gambling halls for kids.
Honestly those ticket games that were popular when I was a kid in the 2000s seem more lost then the classic arcades. The cost and ticket output in the games relative to what you get is absolutely pathetic. Used to be able to spend a day playing and get a small or medium crash bandicoot plush, now you spend the same amount of ticket grinding to get a sticker or a key-chain...
This is the video that introduced me to you guys and your channel. I still swing back to it for the arcade vibes since I watch a lot of arcade related content here on UA-cam. That was how this video originally got recommended to me. Happy Holidays Sam and Joe and the rest of the RadJunk crew!
I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if you have a UMK3 machine, and just when I thought the tour was about to end in me being disappointed, I see it in all its glory! Hope it's repaired by now, such a classic. Awesome bar!
@@vectoralphaSec and worth every penny! 🤑 haha such a buzz kill 😂. come tf on... I’d love to have a retro arcade in my area. Every town should have one 👾🕹️😊 (thanks for doing the math anyhow lol)
@@zerocal76No way, I don't care if this arcade has the top tier Arcade games like Mortal Kombat & Street Fighter 2, no way I be spending $300 + a month to play arcade games I've already played. I'd probably go in there like 2-4 times a month. That's it. Spending $20-40 a month.
What a beautiful arcade!! It makes me so happy to see that places like these are providing communities with some of the best games, both old and new, for everyone to experience for the first time or 1000th time! Not just that, but also crazy affordable! $10 for all day access to all of the games shown today is an insane value. The last time I saw a $10 all day play was back in the early 2000's. I'd love to check this place out one day :)
wish i had a place like this nearby. &, i would gladly pay double that entry fee; as others have stated, $10 is quite the deal. Very cool, & all the best to you guys!
If you are in the Midwest, there is a place in Danville called "Vintage Villains" that is similar to this but in believe it is 2 stories of cabinets. Good luck to you!
I wish I could find a place like this, not only would it be fun but to drink beers make friends and play your favorite retro games... we need more places like this.
That place looks so awesome. Dating myself, but I grew up in the 80's, when arcade's were the 'thing'(I was obsessed with Punch-Out and wasted so much of my mom's money playing that). Sad that they are gone now, except for the select few places around like you have here, which let's folks like myself relive the AWESOME times we used to have back in the day, and introduce the younger generations of how awesome these places are. Wish I lived closer, but next time I take a trip down to your way, I'm gonna make it a point to drop by. Thank you for keeping places like this alive for all to enjoy!
Oh man Gauntlet Legends. Being 6 or 7 whenever I first saw that and being able to save your characters while also being 4 player was love at first sight!
Born retro player here. Been gaming for decades snd i would just absolutely love to visit this place. Thank you so very much for the nostalgia of my childhood.
Seeing this makes me so happy to see my childhood and teen years coming back to life for others to enjoy! and also reminds me that I'm nearing 50 years old! dang.. time fly's when you are having fun.
This place would be an absolute weekly vibe for me and the boys. Probably the best reason to ever live in Florida, would be to support RadJunk and RadBar. Best wishes to Sam and Co.
I'm a child of the 80's and grew up around older people. So these arcade games just bring me right back to my childhood and teen years. I literally gasped when you said you had Gauntlet! We had one of the Gauntlet games in a local bar when I was 18-19 and we used to just crush that game every Friday night. We joked that that game paid the electricity bill :p
I like that they don’t just have random vintage machines in there that they were able to get their hands on. These are legit fun, co-op friendly games.
I agree! I like that they have some all-time arcade classics mixed in with different experiences like rhythm games and consoles. That place looks awesome!
@@travisnorman Yep. Would’ve been easier and probably a lot cheaper to just stock the building with vintage machines with name recognition, but you can tell they put a lot of thought into the entire vibe of the space.
This is something I've always wanted to do ever since I was little, but never had the funds to do so. I even drew out a floor plan and an idea for a gaming bar/comic book store diner thing back in high school lol. This is so cool.
Totally wished there was an arcade bar like this around me. I'd be there all the time with my nieces and nephews! Might have to make a trip out to your arcade some day.
This is paradise. If I lived there, I'd be taking my family there at least once a week. They would love it. The price point is excellent, an excellent deal with an afternoon of family fun.
What a cool place ! The memories pouring into my mind after seeing some of my old favorite games and my childhood that ide love to experience as an adult! Great business idea
OMG this is retro heaven. 🤯 All you can play for 10 bucks is a bargain. This is crazy how many games and you've got pinball machines galore. I've got to visit. Thank you for sharing.
I'd be there all the time if i lived there. Last time i went to the arcades was in 1998. Where i live they disappeared entirely once internet cafes became a thing
This is really cool. A dream of mine was to open up an arcade bar so looking at this I'm so envious. The fact that you also have a resident food truck out front is the cherry on top.
Wow that place looks like a ton of fun. Way better and more nostalgic than a dave and busters. I would go and support this place in a heartbeat. Some other of my favorites i didn't see here are SF 2, Mk 2, mk3 ultimate, Contra or Super C, super punch out, WWF WrestleMania, 1943, after burner, space harrier, TMNT arcade game, operation wolf, double dragon and DD 2 the revenge, golden axe, dragons lair, space ace, galaga, star wars to name a few. But you guys got more than enough there for a damn good night. Awesome concept and business model. Wish you much success 🙏👍
That’s a fantastic idea 😊I love those flat fees models. 10 bucks all machines free play is awesome! It reminds me of my favorite arcade. You’d get a bag of nickels and there were a row of free machines and I had made so many friends in those times ☺️
@@RadJunk Do you all buy games at your shop? I've got a lot of Wii, NES, Genesis, Sega CD, and some Dreamcast games and accessories I need to get rid of. I live in central Kentucky and there are no game stores close to me at all lol
God this brings back so many memories. Love that you guys created a place keep this going. Back in the days when we went to the shopping malls just to play on various arcades/consoles (with whatever game they put in for the day). And just the value of this place. For 10 bucks you can go in and play till your thumbs go numb. Which is already a great deal and given how bad inflation goes it gets better by the day.
Love this! We have 2 retro arcades in the area for $10 all day play. Great pinballs and selection of games. Definitely would enjoy this. Need more adult hours around here for sure.
This makes me so happy to see an arcade again... Big huge props to you for taking this business on! I have actually been wanting to make a massive 4 player X-Men / Simpsons / TMNT projector based crazy game I saw on another UA-cam channel. Where it took up like a 12' area in the back of the store, because the 2 screens were 100" each. Crazy.
I love that your multicade features Sega's Quartet. That was my favorite game on the Sega Master System, and I have an original 4 player Quartet stand up arcade as well. Great to see it in your bar!
we have a few barcades up here in the virginia beach area, and NOTHING compares to the level of your guys bar! as soon as i saw everything is in working order AND theyre CRTs instead of lcd swaps i knew it was gonna be good, and all the games are bangers! im big into the FGC and given how many good fighting games you guys have it can really foster a decent scene just in that one spot
Oh man, this place looks amazing! Nice lineup of arcade games. Wish you had TMNT the 1989 arcade game there though. But still this place looks incredible! Come to Houston. 😂
I love this place! Funny enough, didn't realize you guys had the shop and even though the shop is within 20 minutes trying to find the time to head over there!
Its so awesome seeing more and more arcades popping up. There's one in my city that does the day pass. I really hope arcades make a big come back in America, When I was in Japan they were everywhere.
Thanks for the tour this is like revisiting my childhood looks like great fun, a lot of history in those games. I wish you all great success and If I ever make it to Fort Walton I am definitely making the extra effort to visit the Rad Bar!

Shes cute.
simp much? jk, i'm in love....with the arcade. Maybe one day I can visit when i'm in Florida.
maybe for you. not feeling it here. but hey. simping is bad.
Yeah right lol
$10 all you can play is such an amazing deal!
I would assume that that is somewhat subsidized by the alcohol, but still, that is a really good deal.
Yeah, bc a beer is $10....lol
yeah, let the kids play!
@@SmallSpoonBrigadeno, subsidized by the youtube channel. The overhead to run that place is far more than they get in net sales.
@@roadcyclist1 okay, boy genius. subsidized by the youtube channel? with under 10k subs? Lol
She has a story for almost every cabinet. You can feel the love they put into what they do!
I wish all of the success in the World for them!
Thank you!!!
That place is SICK!!!! I wish I lived closer, I would hang out there all of the time.

Same here, man! Xenophobe was the pinnacle of arcade fun for me and my best friend back in the day.

you should really check out mame then, I just got over 6000 games the other day.

Some of them were but the majority we repaired, restored, and rebuilt! We also do regular maintenance and cleaning!
