X-Ray Arcade

Very woke bar. Selectively dismissive to certain patronsCharges cover all they way up until bar closeHalloween costume contest goes from 100 bucks one year to a grand the next, not much warning but probably would have entered if that fact was advertised betterGood music though

Welcome to Cudahy! Three cheers for the X-Ray Arcade! Good music, unique arcade games, and great staff. So thankful that Vnuk's held this space down for decades, and built that big dancehall music room in the back that X-Ray makes good use of. Punk bands, vintage resale fairs, and Goth Barge dance nights, X-Ray has a lot of events and makes good use of the space. While I like a more traditional 80s game experience, X-Ray has some good unique Arcade games, like that local band Space Raft game, and some good 90s fight games. Beer selection is great, and bar staff makes great drinks and works hard! Nice outdoor area, as well.

Super rad arcade bar / music venue / bar / trivia pub, etc! Amazing home made (mega) pizza bagels with lots of meat and vegan options! Love the vibes here and the tunes are always solid. My wife and i love coming here to plug a few quarters into the machines and enjoy the tasty foods. There is a ton of craft beer too so don't worry about that. And cocktails, and a patio in the summer, and this place is just so great. Hope to see you there, but don't beat my Donkey Kong score please.

I've been hearing buzz about this place and rightly so! Came here to support my son's band's show and was pleasantly surprised. First of all, they offer all-ages shows which is awesome. The stage is a great size for a bar and the bands sounded excellent. Although we are not arcade gamers, the setup looked inviting for those that enjoy arcade games--lots of options for a bar! (We did partake in pulltabs if that counts.) Honestly, they did a great job taking what I'm sure was an old Cudahy dive and making it more hip...but keeping that good ole dive bar charm!I enjoyed a delicious Wisco Old Fashioned and the little free pin buttons on the bar were a nice touch. I do have to say though, we also had seltzer from the gun and it tasted musty/mildewy. Yikes. We did not order any food, but they offer typical bar food: frozen pizzas and various fried morsels. Being winter, we didn't see their patio space, but I would definitely check out another show here!

The cool thing is that there is an outdoor area for dogs and music. I went there for an outdoor event so I didn't get to see the arcade experience. My dogs had a great time. It's fenced in so my naughty husky could be off-leash for a bit. The dogs weren't allowed inside though so keep that in mind if you have to leave them out for a moment while you order a drink. They also offer music events indoors and there is plenty of space. Good place to check out if you're in the Cud.

The staff are hilarious, attentive, and accommodating. The drink prices are great for a music venue. Sometimes I wish they had a jukebox because I don't like pop punk, but hey that's just me I guess.
