Tasting Room and Arcade

Our Nostalgic EXperience

Swing by our taproom and arcade at Retro Meadery, where fresh mead meets old-school gaming fun.

Grab a flight of our honey-smooth meads straight from the tap, then dive into a lineup of classic 80s and 90s arcade cabinets. Think Pac-Man chomping dots, Street Fighter throwdowns, and all those satisfying beeps and boops that used to eat your quarters.

It's the perfect spot to chill with friends, sip something tasty, chase high scores, or just laugh over a game you haven't played since middle school. Come for the mead, stay for the nostalgia—everyone's welcome to play!

How it Works

It's simple: pay once, play all day, sip what you like!

  • Unlimited Arcade Play— For a flat fee of $10 for adults or $5 for kids, you get all-you-can-play access to our classic 80s/90s arcade games. No quarters, no cards, no tokens—just jump in and chase those high scores as long as you want.

  • Drinks on Tap — Sample our house-made meads by the flight or glass, grab a craft beer, go for a refreshing NA drink, or cool off with one of our fun slushies.

  • Bites & Bottles — We’ve got snacks available, and you’re welcome to bring in outside food too! If you love a mead, take home a bottle to keep the good times going.

Come hang out, mix arcade thrills with board game nights, sip something delicious, bring your favorite takeout, and make it your go-to spot—good vibes guaranteed!
