Boxcar Bar + Arcade

Fun place to visit with friends. Craft beer kind of pricey for $8 a pop. Pin ball machines shows .25 on the coin hole but it is actually $1 per game. Might be a good place in the evenings for live music. They should have streaming music when live music is not avaiable. Overall, I would visit again.

Love that our inner child got to play and the adult could enjoy a drink while playing. Great combination. Clean place. Pinball machines all worked, and I love it. Flogger and Ms Pacman were sensitive joy sticks, which the Pacman machine for 4 players (sit down) blue joy stick would not good down. Only machine that didn't work. Again, overall, great experience. Thank you.

So much fun! I love all the retro games and the drink specials! Tons of retro games, food is available, good drink specials every night. Fun place for a date night! Leave the kids at home, this is definitely a Bar arcade. Paid parking across the street, sometimes you can find free street parking after 6pm, but it can be hard. Bathrooms are relatively clean. Games can be kinda pricey, but $10-20 should be enough for a fun night

If you enjoy a good time playing games and drinking is a plus. Boxcar is the place with arcade games from the 90s. It is a good place to have a girl's night out, and friends during the day or night, and for couples to have fun activities date night.

This bar is a staple in Raleigh, you literally cannot get any better. The trolley starts and ends across the street. The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing, bartenders are great (Vitia is the best ever)! Whether you are looking for a fun spot for post brunch or just a fun hangout with friends you literally cannot go wrong with Boxcar. Take a chance, grab some cons, play some games have a few drinks and just relax. I love This bar ❤️

I’m mostly here in the early evenings so I can’t comment on late nights or live music, but the space is always clean and inviting. There are a great selection of games, and all seem to be working 99% of the time. There’s a great draft beer selection, daily drink specials, and free water and popcorn stations.

I had a date here we had a fun time, drinks were great. But we did pay for tokens and some of your machines were broken because they ate the coins. I have been to a bunch of arcade bars and this didn’t happen , they had plastic cards or their machines worked or we paid for the whole night to game. Hopefully this can stop happening.
