Rated 5 stars on Google — Raleigh's favorite arcade bar
"Super Rad Retro Lounge is such a fun addition to Raleigh's bar scene. The entire space is packed with nostalgic energy from the moment you walk in. Neon lights, the sound of pinball machines, and classic arcade music instantly make you feel like you stepped into the 80s and 90s in the best way. It is the kind of place where you plan to stay for one drink and end up playing games for hours."
"I checked out SuperRad when it first opened and it shocked me how well designed it is. It has something for everything here whether that be old arcade cabinet games, pinball, cocktails or music. The vibe here is going to go down in history as something enjoyable. Highly recommend grabbing some friends, having some themed cocktails and playing to your hearts content."
"Gabby, Kent, and David were amazing and the drinks were PHENOMENAL, especially the jello shots. The presentation along with the final product were way better than I expected. The games aren't too expensive and the drinks will make you come back for more."
