What is the tapcade at Crossroads?
It’s more than just pinball and “NBA Jam” that draw crowds at Tapcade at Crossroads. A dine-in theatre and menu full of bar favorites and burritos accompany the arcade’s many games—a rotating mix of more than 40 favorites—and extensive craft beer list. Take a break from the excitement by catching a flick on the big screen, which features movies new and old, many of them classic films you won’t want to miss as they hit the theatre again.
Where is Up Down in Crossroads?
Situated in the middle of the Crossroads Arts District, Up-Down is a 80s- and 90s-themed arcade bar and one of the most popular after-hours destinations in town. It isn’t just the more than 50 arcade games or the giant Nintendo 64 setup that transports you back in time—TVs play a constant loop of classic wrestling matches, Saved by the Bell episodes and movies twenty- and thirtysomethings grew up on. Plus, there are as many beers on tap as there are games to play, many of them brewed right in town.
Did the Kansas City arcade survive?
The arcade didn’t survive into the 21st Century, but instead lives on in history thanks to some incredible photos taken during a 1968 inspection of the facility, proving that while technology may change, Kansas City’s appetite for arcade games remains as prominent as ever.
