VERSUS

VERSUS on Province Street puts arcade games and a bar in the same room, making a round of Galaga a reasonable part of your evening plans. The selection includes Ms. Pac-Man, NBA Jam, pinball, newer game consoles and shuffleboard. Murals by Boston artist Dirty Dek and references to 1980s pop culture fill out the setting.

There’s pub food, cocktails, beer and wine, so you can eat between games rather than leave to find dinner. The venue is 21 and older after 7 p.m. Kitchen hours end before the bar closes, so check them separately if you’re arriving late. Private-event bookings are available for groups that want to plan a more competitive night out.
