The doors to Keg & Coin open onto a playground of games, much more than a neighborhood bar, Keg & Coin is a community hangout, an old school arcade with the additional benefit of beer! The bar has fifteen taps that rotate flavors depending on popularity. The shelves have nearly a hundred other beer and wine options to choose from, and the entire space is lit up with pixels from upright gaming machines from our collective pasts. Shooters, pinball, foosball, skeeball, and darts. No matter what you play, a machine is here at Keg & Coin so grab a brew and drop in a quarter to become Player 1.

Our Thoughts on the Keg & Coin

They had us as lifelong fans when we walked through the doors and found an upright Galaga machine.  Who doesn’t remember the countless quarters rolled into that machine?  We’ve tried the emulators, but nothing beats that standing joystick and button tapping sequence.  We used to play it with a soda-pop, now we’ve got our favorite local craft brew in our hands while we play.  All the classic games are here, and on Tuesdays Keg & Coin rolls out the retro console games. 

The patrons are not just a bunch of old boys reliving our past, there are young and old alike, enjoying the lights and sounds from gaming’s past.  Young discovering the wonder of these simple games, slightly less young… well, we loved the remembrance of time spent surrounded by friends and playing games.  That’s the beauty of Keg & Coin, that joy is not forgotten, it is here now, on King Street, and we loved it.
