For children of the 1980s, the thought of arcades brings back fond memories – so many hours and so many quarters gone playing pinball, air hockey, and those old-fashioned game cabinets. Well, in Davenport, Iowa, the management of Analog Arcade Bar has turned back the clock. There’s just one difference – this arcade is 21 and up only, and the bar is dishing up mixed drinks that go perfectly with your next round of Pac-man or Skee-Ball.
During the day, the building holding Analog Arcade Bar might look like it’s all business - but at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and noon on weekends, the adventure begins.

But this is an adult playground, and it has one big edge over Chuck E. Cheese’s - a very adult bar complete with a selection of beer and cocktails.
