For some childhood fun in a mature setting, visit this exciting adult playground bar in North Carolina. The Basement Arcade Bar in Concord offers some of the best drinks in town along with arcade and pinball machines. When was the last time we played Ms. Pacman or the Street Fighter II Championship Edition? These 1980s and ’90s retro games are part of the incredible inventory along with some current pinball titles. And quarters aren’t required as the price to play all day is included with the entry fee of $10 for adults and $5 for kids, who must have an adult with them. However, this playground for adults only clicks in after 8 p.m.

Located in Concord's charming historic district, this retro arcade fits right in.
