Shelter Arcade Bar

This place is amazing. So many dope games, amazing staff, welcoming customers... I can't say enough good things about it. Amazing, reasonably priced drinks. Plus, it's attached to Fete, so if you end up at some concert you aren't stoked on, just hit the arcade! Free pinball on Thursday is super rad. I'm definitely going to start frequenting the heck out of this place, and I live all the way across the city.

The car game ate all my quarters. And a shot of Fireball was 9 bucks! I can get a whole bottle for that price! And the bartenders were rude as hell. They should never assume the change is their tip. They should also tell people the price of a shot. I would have ordered an actual drink for a the extra dollar.

It was great to play some arcade games again.

Definitely a cool space. Pinball and arcade machines on free play, and they serve beer. Beers are priced $5-8 which isn't bad considering the entertainment is free. They don't have a huge selection of drinks, but try to get a few craft beers in there, they also have cocktails. Didn't have any, but they have a pizza kitchen on site. Games vary from newer to old with classics like Street Fighter 2, Time Crisis and Ms. Pacman.

great retro arcade in the heart of Olneyville around the corner from NY system and next to FETE music hall. Excellent selection of old fashion pinball and arcade games including skeeball, friendly staff.

It was wicked....Now it’s 18+, I’ve been asked to buy drink for under aged too many times, the vibe just isn’t there anymore. It’s a small dive bar, free games so that’s still cool

The best barcade in the city of Prov

Was there last night, it was great. Highly recommended. Love to support local businesses and can't wait to go back. ✊👍👍👍👍

Went here last week for a 10 year anniversary party for #tightcrew it was awesome! Never seen another place quite like it. Arcade games are iconic and so is house, D&B, etc. So it's a perfect mix. I'll be checking it out again very soon.

Cool spot for old school video games and pinball machines. They host pinball tournaments and many other gaming events too. The bar adds the nice adult touch to gaming too.

Nice place. Staff friendly. Free arcade games. What isn't great about free arcade games? Nothing at all.

SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOL!!!!1. Yes, all the games are really free!2. The drinks aren't the cheapest but the GAMES ARE FREE so you're kind of a jerk if you just come to play the games and don't buy a drink complaining about the price.3. NO COVER4. Sometimes they have bands, the last time I went it was an all girl 80's hair metal cover band which was awesome and there was NO COVER CHARGE!5. Classic bar food: pizza and stuff. Cheap, good enough to get something in the belly. 6. A lot of people go dressing in 80's leather jackets and jeans and the whole place just has such an awesome feel of nostalgia and pure joy that it turns any aged person into feeling like a kid at Christmas.The only negative this is the single bathroom that there is always a line to get to. Overall a wicked cool place that you really need to give a shot because your going to love it.

This place is awesome. $3 tall boys of pabst and free pinball on Sundays makes for a cheap fun night. Plus they have a really good selection of classic games, my favorites being raiden and time crisis 3. The games are in great working condition and everybody is friendly and welcoming

Really cool arcade with great drinks. So cool to have all the old school arcade games! Definitely a fun experience.

Sadly this is no longer a free arcade bar, even though they still advertise it on their website.
