Cobra Arcade Bar — A Retro Night Out in Downtown Phoenix

If your guests are looking for a night that mixes nostalgia, great drinks, and loud fun, point them to Cobra Arcade Bar in downtown Phoenix. This lively barcade pairs craft cocktails and beer with a rotating lineup of vintage arcade machines — a perfect after-dinner stop or late-night hangout for adults visiting the area.

Why Guests Will Love It

  • Classic arcade vibes: Dozens of vintage arcade cabinets and consoles — think Pac-Man, NBA Jam, and Q*Bert — all ready to play.
  • Energetic nightlife: DJs, danceable playlists, and a crowd that spikes later in the evening make Cobra a top pick for a fun, social night out.
  • Drinks + food trucks: A full bar with creative cocktails and rotating local food trucks on site some nights, so you can game and grab a bite without straying far.

Quick Facts (What Your Guests Need to Know)

  • Age: 21+ only (ID required).
  • Address: Located in Downtown Phoenix near the convention center and Chase Field — ideal for guests staying downtown.
  • Typical hours: Opens late afternoon/early evening and stays open late; plan for evenings.
  • Games: A rotating collection of vintage arcade machines — bring your competitive spirit!

Best Time to Go

Early evenings on weekdays are great for playing without big crowds. If your guests want a more club-like, high-energy night with DJs, recommend late weekend evenings. Weekdays offer more space for gaming; weekends bring the party atmosphere.

  • Happy hour perks: Watch for drink and token promos; they sometimes offer free tokens during happy hour.
  • Expect crowds on weekends: Machines can get busy — arrive early if gaming is a priority.
