This bar in BGC allows you to play old-school arcade games ala Stranger Things style
As avid fans of everything retro, we're always in search of places that can help us relive our childhood memories. Tucked away in the busy streets of Taguig, we discovered this subtle drinking place that not only offers quality drinks but a chance to let your inner kid out. Cue in, Versus Barcade.
Located in Uptown Parade, Versus Barcade is the first bar arcade in the Philippines that houses numerous old-school arcade games and a wide array of alcoholic beverages. Get to drink with your friends while playing classic arcade games that bring out the nostalgia.
Versus Barcade easily transports you to the 90s era with game offerings such as Mario Kart, Pac-Man, and Street Fighter on the line. They even have numerous pinball machines and e-darts for those who wish to take gaming up a notch. As soon as you enter the place, sounds from your childhood take over.
But what's really impressive about Versus Barcade is how it divided its offerings equally. All their classic arcade games are in one section and their sophisticated drinking area is in another. A huge shelf full of alcohol will greet you soon as you enter the chill hangout spot, a nice warm welcome.
Despite being arcade-themed, the vibe of the place is on a whole different level. Imagine a playroom of a cultivated man who has a knack for everything fancy. The brick walls and leather seats add to the refinement the place has to offer.
Versus still keeps its playfulness with its witty menu comprising offerings that are named using gaming lingo. Dishes such as the Rigatoni Ala Luigi which is a rigatoni pasta with shrimp and Italian sausage in creamy mushroom sauce; Galagambas which are sauteed prawns in garlic and olive oil; Creamy Truffle Mushroom pasta; and Chicken Buffalo Burger are some of the best choices.
As much as they are serious about their arcade games and food offerings, Versus is also in the zone when it comes to their alcoholic drinks. Their mixes are the bomb. If you want to try the unique flavors of Versus, we recommend their Game Over which is an alcoholic beverage comprising of Tanqueray London Dry, Violet Liqueur, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur, fresh orange juice, lime juice, syrup, and rose water.
Another notable drink is their Well Played which comprises Bacardi Rum, Giffard Banana Liqueur, homemade apple pie syrup, lemon juice, angostura bitters, and egg white.
Because of Versus's hipster aura, the place has been effortlessly featured in numerous contents. It was where Kapuso actress Max Collins did her retro-themed 30th birthday shoot and it is also the location of GMA Lifestyle's Straight from the Expert episode on gaming starring Kapuso actress Myrtle Sarrosa.
Whether you're looking for a chill drinking place or a perfect bonding activity for you and your friends to relive your childhood, Versus Barcade is the place to be.
