Blipsy Barcade

On our lists of the best activities and arcades & games in Los Angeles.

Neon signage and shelves of stuffed animals and action figures crowd the walls of this Koreatown dive, where classic cabinets -- Double Dragon, Paperboy, Ms. Pac-Man -- line up next to a jukebox and a small floor where DJs spin on weekend nights. It's cash only, and there's a coin laundromat next door if quarters run short. It has kept close to what it was before arcade bars became common elsewhere in the city, pouring cheap tallboys to a crowd that comes to play as much as to drink.
