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.
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...
@@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)
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!
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.
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!
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.
Yo, this is very rad ^^ Terminator 2 would be the favourite pick. For me it's the most nostalgic arcade game of all those. Fiancées fam is over there in y'alls area so we travel there often, so pretty glad I found out about this place and the game shop ^^
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.
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!
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.
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
Wow this is a rad bar for sure! Love all the arcades and pinball machines! I was looking for Killer Instinct that was my favorite arcade growing up. I also love the mural on the walls that what makes the place pop!
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!
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 🙏👍
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.
I would not even call her perfect or even start to. The perfect woman wouldn't tell the person their with where they can or can't work. That part works both ways in a relationship
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 ☺️
WOW! Time to move to Florida! There was a dark, basement arcade with exposed pipes that I used to frequent pretty much every day when I was living in Japan in the late 80s. I spent more than $10 every time I went there (to be fair, cheap games were ￥50, and new games were ￥100, so it wasn't hard to blow through 10 bucks). This brings me back to that time and place. All the best for your success!! Retro rocks!
Holy shit, this must be the raddest place on earth. I gotta get my ass to Florida somehow and experience it for myself. Congratulations to ya'll on building something beautiful. Your community is lucky to have you.
I had never heard of a place like this until last week when I went to the same thing in London, Ontario. Having a flat fee for all you can play and beer? Brilliant. Best idea ever. Probably.
Wow this looks like a blast. You really know how to setup a good shop! From the retro game store to this bar, i'm very impressed. If only y'all opened up in California..
Ahhhh damn, wish I knew you guys were there back a few years ago on my last visit to Destin... Next time I'm in Destin, I'mma gonna hit up the Rad Bar for sure! 😎👍
@@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
Very fun looking Arcade! I would definitely visit, but I'm a little far away. Good luck with your endeavors. Really like the feel of the place (and your art is insane!). Never heard of "Cheesus" but sounds good too.
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.
You guys did a great job with thos place. The set-up and atmosphere looks great, the price is affordable, and you have some great games. We have an arcade/bar in Sacramento, CA, but I love everything about this arcade. I've only been to my local one (Coin Op) once so they may have some different games now.
I love your business model. In one of my college business classes, I set up a finance proposal for an arcade bar, and it was very similar to your model. I wish I wasn't 5 hours away I'd be down there tonight otherwise. Great space!
Hey dude, cool video - though I don't live in the US this was a fantastic watch, what a great place. You guys have given me some cool idea's for my home games room thank you.

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
That place is SICK!!!! I wish I lived closer, I would hang out there all of the time.

I'm surprised they had the balls to Open an Arcade with NO claw machines and NO coin pushers...
Growing up with arcades, I've never been to one this well set up! The locals there are super lucky to have you guys!
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!!!
I would be in there every day if I lived nearby.. what great selection of arcades and a bar to!! 😍
That would be $3,650 a year.

Loved Gauntlet Legends, played it all the time at my local Laser Quest
@@sggee Yes sir!
have you played gauntlet dark legacy? i have all 3(original, legends and legacy).
@@sabin97 Yes! I had for the GameCube and loved it!

gd those are some of the cleanest cabs i've ever seen, nice vid 👍🏽👍🏽
This might be the best barcade I’ve ever seen! Best cabinets!
So this is what Aubrey Plaza has been doing lately
UA-cam wanted me to see this and I am very glad it did! What an amazing arcade you have there!!

What an incredible selection of games!!! Rastan and Two crude dudes would fit perfectly amoungst them.
Best of luck with the business
Great Arcade, Setup, Wall Artwork, Price and Blue Hair! P. S. Dragon's Lair would be a great addition! 🐲

The paintings are excellent. Good business idea with the beer and games complimenting each other
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.
The arcade looks amazing, i'm loving the 2 Neo Geo cabinets and SF Third Strike. The bar setup and beer selection looks awesome
You guys and girls give me hope, your places rock
Awesome place, wish it was closer to me.... Great selection of games!
Beautiful Arcade, great job on it. Wish your business great success
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
That glass mural reminded me of the arcade styles in GTA, great looking arcade and what a deal, hope your business grow further
Awesome bar, such a great selection of games, plenty of classics.
So glad I found this channel!! So Rad! If I ever go to Florida, I'm stopping into the barcade for sure!!!
Damn, this barcade looks awesome! I wanna visit one day. 😍
Maybe you can make it to my convention one year, it’s called Really Rad Weekend!
@@RadJunkI’d love to. Maybe next year? 🤔
Man, your shop is so damn cool.

It is so cool seeing places like this on the gulf coast! We'll have to take a day trip over there with some friends!
Awesome Spot! I might be a little biased but that 4 Play is ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥😁
It’s definitely rad!

We actually have some of those games in our warehouse!
Camera man doesnt really want to look at everything she points at. Great tour, though. I really enjoy arcade bars
Yeah definitely a bit rough on the camera work but still an awesome tour nonetheless, looks like a great place to have some fun!
First time shooting with the new gimbal and the face tracking was fighting me the whole time!
Sorry about that, next time will be better!
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.
Awesome! Love the mood/vibe in there
The best comparison to Sound Voltex would actually be DJ Hero because the two knobs are similar to the turntable if I'm not mistaken.
That’s a great comparison!
That's amazing. Were these cabs all this clean when you bought them or did you work to restore them? They look fantastic.
Some of them were but the majority we repaired, restored, and rebuilt! We also do regular maintenance and cleaning!
Awesome arcade! I love the selection and the decoration. Another sick arcade in Florida!
Checked out the bar and store when I was visiting from Atlanta and loved them both. Hoping to come back soon again!
Heck yea!!! Now you need to come down for Really Rad Weekend. 😬
Looks Awesome!! Jesus loves you all. God bless yall 🤌🏽 and all that you are doing🧡 . Love yall

I wish all them the best luck. I love arcade bars, had one back home and we played killer queen every weekend
Great place to bring your kids to let them experience the sheer awesomeness of a true arcade.

Always a good time at Rad Bar and Rad Junk, coming into town later this week.

If I ever come to Florida this is a must visit along with your store.
