3 Decade Arcade: 109 S Main St Suite 103

Operating in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, 3 Decade Arcade opened its doors on October 22, 2021, at 109 South Main Street, Suite 103, offering a dedicated space for retro gaming enthusiasts and the local community. This establishment, owned and operated by the Watkins family, quickly became known for its selection of classic arcade games and pinball machines.

The venue featured beloved arcade titles such as Pac-Man, Tetris, Frogger, Galaga, Donkey Kong, and Centipede, alongside approximately 15 classic and modern pinball machines, including themes like Led Zeppelin and Back to the Future. Beyond the coin-operated games, 3 Decade Arcade also provided a pool table, air hockey, and foosball, creating a multi-attraction experience. Known for its cozy atmosphere, 1970s and 1980s music, and 8-bit sound effects, the “barcade” served adult beverages and hosted special events like Glow Night, Ladies Night, and Movie Night. The arcade celebrated its first anniversary with a ribbon-cutting on October 27, 2022. While it served as a local treasure and a haven for nostalgia, the venue has since closed.
