Hank (Bill) and I have always been pinball and arcade game fans, and Beercade in Benson offers classic games and a craft beer selection. The pinball games are in great condition, cost only .50 a game and if you are any good at pinball you will win a few free games along the way. Personally, one of my favorite games is Twilight Zone and Beercade has that machine. For Arcade games, they have Tetris, The Simpsons, Asteroids, Street Fighter 2 and about 15 other classic games that will take you back in time. The games are all fun and work perfectly. If they break down, the management fixes them fast.
I like the way the bar feels like it is a blast from the past, except for the price of their beer. It frustrates me you can not get a pitcher of Bud or Miller but to be honest I am there for the pinball.
They offer a rotating craft beer menu for all you craft beer fans and even have a Tuesday special where a 16 oz. can of PBR is only $2.00. They generally do not have waitress' or waiters, so you have to go up to the bar to get your drink. The staff is friendly enough, and the clientele are really into the arcade games and pinball.
Beercade is a great niche bar if you are looking for something a little different to do, and it may even become a guilty pleasure bar if you are into classic games and pinball. All in all, Beercade is a place I go back to although I can only give it 3.5 stars. After a few games and 2 beers I have had my fill.
Give Beercade, located at 6104 Maple St. in Omaha a try, it may not be for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for.
The Basement Guys love good music, cold beer, bar food and sophomoric humor. We also have an internet radio show on RadiOmaha, a wonderful station for an amazing variety of music you don't hear anywhere else, with updates on events and concerts in the Omaha area.
