Lowry Parcade & Tavern – Tampa

As Tampa’s first (and right now only) classic arcade bar, Lowry Parcade & Tavern works hard to recreate a sense of yesteryear for our patrons. However, we also believe certain modern things are simply better, which is why our craft beer list is painstakingly curated and represents only the best of local crews, mixed with a smattering of other excellent beers.

Our arcade is full of old school, nostalgic games such as Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, X-Men, and many others (see the full list here!). We have been collecting 80s- and 90s-era arcade and pinball machines for years to bring them back to life for you to experience right here. Almost every arcade machine is a quarter per play just like the arcades of yesterday, and almost all of our pinball machines are .50 cents per play.

Besides the video games, our pinball collection currently features 9 machines (full list here!). We even have a Skee-Ball machine that gives tickets for prizes at the bar. —Oh yeah, and we’ve also got Bubble Hockey, as well as a pay-to-play pool table!

We rotate our arcades and pinball machines frequently, and we are always on the search for games both new and old. If you have an arcade or pinball machine for sale, or if you’d like to a request for a machine, please contact us!

Until 11pm, we welcome gamers, nerds, geeks, and fun-lovers of all ages! Kids are cool, but they have to stay with parents at all times. Please ensure that they respect the machines (most are 20-30 years old), so encourage hugs instead of kicks.

We are 21+ after 11pm, so adult swim rules apply: No kids after that point.

We’re also dog friendly!

We love puppers! (Please keep them on a leash and close to you though, or we may keep them.)

There’s a water bowl and treats ready for any canine companion you want to introduce to the crowd—just let us know they’re thirsty or need a cookie.
