Lowry Parcade

Lowry Parade is an absolute gem for anyone who loves arcades and bars. The place offers an amazing mix of games, including old-school machine games, pinball, and cozy booths with N64 setups. It's such a nostalgic experience--you can grab a drink, sit in a booth, and play classics on a small TV. It's the kind of place that feels like a trip back in time, in the best way possible.For rhythm game enthusiasts, they have DDR (my personal favorite!) along with other beat games, including a fun circle tap machine and even a game reminiscent of Mario Party. The variety is fantastic, ensuring there's something for everyone, whether you're into retro games or interactive party games.The bar has a great selection of alcoholic beverages, and the food is a standout too--it's all video game-themed! It's such a fun and creative touch. Outside, a food truck-style taco stand keeps the energy going with quick, delicious bites. Staff was very friendly! Pairing themed food with the games really ties the whole experience together.The vibe here is unbeatable--fun, lively, and perfect for a night out with friends, a date, or even a solo gaming session. Whether you're gaming, drinking, or just enjoying the unique atmosphere, Lowry Parade hits every mark. Highly recommend it for an unforgettable night!

How FUN is this place!? Friends brought food they got down the street, I got food from the truck in the parking lot with friendly folks (note: they do not speak English so I got to practice my Spanish!)Going inside, I expected a bar with a few games, but it was like a time warp and wall to wall games....old school, my-time games (arcade, pin-ball, skeeball, table video games - there's also air hockey and foosball)....!I ordered a flight of beers, the Lemon Waves, the most expensive thing - Cheap Songs I (which is a sour and I did NOT like it, I don't like sours, so there's that, but I gave it to my friend - she loved it)... Also got the Honey something and the Green Bench lager. My favorite, hands down, was the Lemon Waves! Well, it's a Hefeweizen, so no wonder.We ate our food, we played games - started with Galaga (my all-time fave), and shared a $5.25 token pot (little cup with 22 tokens), Frogger, skeeball, Donkey Kong, the Elvira pin-ball machine (cuz she's the sexiest of them all and I got 11M points!)... The bartender, Rob was nice, helpful, attentive, funny... We had a great experience here and I'd come back in a heartbeat!

Lowry Parcade opened right when my boyfriend and I started dating. It is basically the history of us and everything they celebrate another anniversary we are so happy for them. Rob, the owner, is so humble and is very friendly with all his customers. Wide array of games, challenging trivia on Tuesdays, and the best the brew master is just a couple great things this location has to offer. Can't wait to see the continued success of Lowry. Forever a parcader.

We had so much fun on a Monday, free play for all of the games. These retro games really were a throwback and the 90s and early 2000s music. They also had gaming consoles like sega, Nintendo and X- box games. Skeeball, air hockey, Taito and tons of pinball machines. Great selection of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

Cool little spot! They have classic games, bartenders were nice. Lots of craft beer from different breweries, something for everyone!

This is a fun place for gamers and non gamers. It's an easy place for a causal date or good place for older kids. I think kids can be there until 9 or so. They have quite a few arcade cabinet games and also quite a few pinball machines. Also skeeball, air hockey and bubble hockey. We had 3 adults and a 13 year old with us. Everyone had a great time. They have a pretty extensive beer selection and usually a food truck outside. They have many "free play" night for a straight fee and even karaoke. It's a nice place in the neighborhood to hang that's not just a bar.

Lowery Parcade was probably one of my favorite stops on our recent trip to Tampa. We had a big day at the theme parks and wanted a place to chill, have a few beers, and play arcade games. We actually lucked out coming on a Monday night because all the arcade and pinball games are unlimited play for $5. It is a bummer we got there later in the evening; regardless, we played until last call and had a great time.The staff are friendly, and the beer was delicious. We ordered the 12oz North Coast Old Rasputin Nitro Stout ($6.00) & 16oz Civil Society Beach Access American Lager ($7). The food looks good; unfortunately, we did not get to try any this time around. However, on my next visit, I look forward to ordering their pulled pork with honey bourbon sauce ($10) and smoked wings rubbed then fried ($10).All-in-all, Lowery Parcade is great place to get away from reality for a while, have a few beers with friends and enjoy some fun gaming. If you have never been here before and live in Tampa, you are missing out; I highly recommend checking them out.

This place has so much potential. Just not quite 5 star yet. This is our first time here so we went up to the bar and got a drink. They have a nice selection of drinks and the bartender was very polite on answering my questions about the place. They have about 30 classic arcade machines, 15 pinball machines, an air hockey table, and a foosball table. I liked their variety of classic arcade games, from fighting games to shooting games. My favorite that night was Tetris and the Jurassic park game. We were sad there's no DDR, although that's been very hard to find now days. I was also hoping they have KillerQueen. I didn't like that some games cost more than 1 token and some machines ate my tokens. This place was cramped, they just need a bigger place.

Happened upon this place on a recent trip to Tampa. It was a Monday and they have unlimited Free Play for $8. Great prices on local and craft beers, seltzers and ciders as well. Highly recommend, especially on a Monday!

Excellent venue. Friendly service.Love the retro games, and the craft beer options are awesome. Will definitely be back.
