Fun place to visit with friends. Craft beer kind of pricey for $8 a pop. Pin ball machines shows .25 on the coin hole but it is actually $1 per game. Might be a good place in the evenings for live music. They should have streaming music when live music is not avaiable. Overall, I would visit again.

I went to Boxcar for the first time with a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago. It has stuck in my memory like glue. All the staff were very friendly. The games all functioned extremely well and there was a wide selection of pinball. The mocktails were delicious and my friend especially enjoyed her Nojito. I forgot to close my tab and sent them an email and they responded quickly and kindly which I appreciated in my moment of embarrassment. I am looking forward to a return visit tomorrow night with my parents!

Love that our inner child got to play and the adult could enjoy a drink while playing. Great combination. Clean place.
Pinball machines all worked, and I love it.
Flogger and Ms Pacman were sensitive joy sticks, which the Pacman machine for 4 players (sit down) blue joy stick would not good down. Only machine that didn’t work.
Again, overall, great experience.
Thank you.

So much fun! I love all the retro games and the drink specials!
Tons of retro games, food is available, good drink specials every night.
Fun place for a date night!
Leave the kids at home, this is definitely a Bar arcade.
Paid parking across the street, sometimes you can find free street parking after 6pm, but it can be hard.
Bathrooms are relatively clean.
Games can be kinda pricey, but $10-20 should be enough for a fun night

If you enjoy a good time playing games and drinking is a plus. Boxcar is the place with arcade games from the 90s. It is a good place to have a girl’s night out, and friends during the day or night, and for couples to have fun activities date night.

This establishment is truly wonderful, and the staff members are exceptional. The atmosphere is both enjoyable and stimulating. I feel a renewed sense of youthfulness, and the employees create a welcoming, family-like environment. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking comfort and entertainment.

Ordered the 12$ liquid marijuana, they now have it on tap. DO NOT BUY this mixed drink. Tastes like a lemonade with no alcohol. Extremely disappointing. The drink is very very clear which is crazy for a drink that should have blue curaçao in it and melon liquor. Save ya money and get literally any other drink on the menu. Used to love this place for the arcade but now this bar just leaves a sad taste in my mouth.

This bar is a staple in Raleigh, you literally cannot get any better. The trolley starts and ends across the street. The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing, bartenders are great (Vitia is the best ever)! Whether you are looking for a fun spot for post brunch or just a fun hangout with friends you literally cannot go wrong with Boxcar. Take a chance, grab some cons, play some games have a few drinks and just relax. I love This bar ❤️

This was the best bar I visited on my last trip to Raleigh. It was pretty crowded on Sunday night, but the atmosphere was fantastic. The bar features lots of retro arcade games and pinball machines, along with classics like air hockey, skee-ball, and dome hockey. You need tokens to play, but there’s a token machine that accepts both cash and credit cards. The place is pet-friendly and has a great vibe, with fun touches like voice-activated hand dryers and motion detector hand sanitizer dispensers.
I recommend sticking to the beers, as the cocktails are a bit watered down. There are plenty of cup holders to keep your drinks safe while you play. This place is perfect for hanging out with friends and having a great time. There’s plenty of parking available, including a paid lot nearby, and they accept credit cards.

I’m mostly here in the early evenings so I can’t comment on late nights or live music, but the space is always clean and inviting. There are a great selection of games, and all seem to be working 99% of the time. There’s a great draft beer selection, daily drink specials, and free water and popcorn stations.
