Super Rad Arcade Bar opened its doors on April 26, 2024, introducing Lynchburg, Virginia, to its first arcade bar experience. Established by co-owners Cullen Jennings and Calvin Hoskins, the venue was envisioned as a dedicated recreational and social hub for the downtown community. Spanning two floors, the establishment houses a collection of over 75 classic and modern arcade games, including titles such as Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Time Crisis 5, and X-Men, alongside various pinball machines like Hollywood Heat and Venom. Beyond gaming, Super Rad Arcade Bar features two full-service bars offering craft beverages and a menu of casual food items.
The venue serves as a multi-attraction entertainment space, regularly hosting events such as gaming competitions, movie nights, themed gatherings, and live music performances, catering to all ages before 9 PM. It operates on an admission fee model, allowing for unlimited free play on its machines, with membership options also available. Super Rad Arcade Bar further contributes to the local area by partnering with organizations to host charity events, fostering community engagement and support for various causes.
