Did you spend a good part of the 70s and 80s pumping quarters into your favorite arcade games and pinball machines? Just imagine if there had been a place where you could have paid one small price and then played them all – for free – all day long. How fun would that have been? Arcade bars are a recent trend sweeping across the Tar Heel State, but not all of them have a cover charge that allows free play.
But at The Retrocade in Asheville, you’ll pay just $10 at the door and then play all day (and all night until 2 a.m.) for free.
