Step inside Boxcar Bar + Arcade in Raleigh’s Warehouse District, where adulting meets childhood dreams. Sip on craft beer, crush your friends in Street Fighter II, or just soak in the retro vibes on the patio with live music. Open 7 days a week (because fun doesn’t take a day off), it’s the perfect spot for gamers, beer lovers, and anyone who wants to feel like an 80s kid again—without the bowl haircut.
And no, this isn’t sponsored. We just think playing Pac-Man while holding a pint is living the dream.
