Versus Arcade Bar
About
Versus is an arcade bar in Downtown Crossing from Big Night Entertainment Group, billed as the first of its kind in Boston. Retro and modern arcade games fill the room, including Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, NBA Jam, Time Crisis 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Golden Tee, plus titles such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Cactus Canyon. Skee-ball, shuffleboard, giant Jenga and Connect 4 round out the games.
Pop art murals by local artist Dirty Dek cover the walls, and the 1980s-inspired design pairs with LED televisions and a Funktion One sound system in a high-energy setting. The kitchen serves pub grub, and the bar pours creative cocktails, craft beer and wine. Console fans can play on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 setups, and assorted board games are also available.
