The Experience

Capital City Arcade is a nostalgic New Westminster destination featuring over 75 original arcade cabinets from the 80s and 90s. This community-focused "barcade" operates on a flat-rate hourly fee, allowing players to enjoy unlimited games without the need for quarters or tokens.

  • The collection features meticulously maintained original hardware, providing an authentic experience that modern emulators simply cannot replicate.

  • Guests can spend hours playing classics like Pac-Man and Street Fighter while enjoying a curated selection of local craft beers.

  • The venue’s unique nacho bar allows for custom snack creations to fuel long gaming sessions with friends.

  • It is a welcoming social space where Gen-Xers can share their childhood favorites with a new generation of enthusiastic gamers.
