The Loading Bar at Trace Parkway in Edwardsville is a gaming and pop culture themed escape from the monotony of sports bars and daily life- the vintage-inspired business focuses on retro arcade games and serves a large variety of locally-sourced drinks from brewers and distillers like 4-Hands, Urban Chestnut, Perennial, Stumpy's, and domestic labels like Budweiser. The bar also carries vintage soda flavors and energy drinks. Loading Bar does not serve food but welcomes outside food- come enjoy brews, booze, and old-school games like Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids, Mortal Combat, Area 51/Maximum Force, Moon Shuttle, and more! More games coming soon!
