“Beer & Arcade games in one place!”

Joystick Gamebar is the only spot in Atlanta dedicated to classic arcade games, good drinks, and killer snack food. The owners, Johnny Martinez and Brandon Ley, want to offer a place where you can enjoy what they view as the finer things in life: friends, fun, food, and booze. You are invited to come down to fight for a high score or just sip a cocktail and relax.Located in a LEED-Platinum certified building on the Edgewood Corridor in downtown Atlanta, Joystick is excited to be a part of a neighborhood that is at once historic and bourgeoning. That attitude of looking forward while respecting the past is at the heart of Joystick's concept. Joystick Gamebar raised $8,530 from 91 backers in Kickstarter. Give it a look!
