Really fun and very kind staff

Update Sept 2025 - Back in town and we headed over for Taco Tuesday! Everything was delicious! Also played some Pac-Man! Such a fun spot! Excited to come back again :)


Stopped in for a quick light dinner, game of XMen, and a little largest Pac-Man. Seitan wings and dessert was great. We don’t drink and the table service was nice - bar was pretty chill and it was such a fun environment with the arcade! Would come back again in a heartbeat!

Truly Unbeetable

I had "lobster" mac and "cheese", and a brownie "sundae". The "lobster"...didn't look or taste even remotely like lobster, it tasted like some kind of onion. It crunched! But everything else was amazing, so I don't care. Very unhealthy, mind you, but amazing.

Pretty decent

I just got some take out to go to try it.
It wasnt bad.
Definitely woulda been better to go hang.out there with someone and sample the food.
I would go back another time with someone.

Great food and nice atmosphere!

I went here for my 60th birthday back in December, and wasn't disappointed! My niece and I had several drinks, and I had ordered the loaded nachos and a burger, while she ordered something else (I don't remember what). As a non-vegan, she said was good, so I was glad that she enjoyed it!😄The only disappointing thing was that the games were pricey.. however, there was free ping pong. The atmosphere was very "chill", and the service was warm and accommodating. I went in mid December, a day after my actual birthday, and a day after heavy rain, and there wasn't many people in the establishment.. but we enjoyed it, just the same, and we also got to engage in a fun game of trivia and bingo. I can't wait to go again, play a little pinball ping pong, and air hockey, and eat more delicious vegan bar food, on my next trip up to Schenectady. :)

Such a great spot!

How could we not hit up the vegan barcade?? The staff was very friendly. The space is bright and open. Games range from basketball, skeeball, pinball, and racing to pingpong and board games. Lots of options for food. We got the crab rangoons and nachos to start. Even my picky daughter devoured the nachos and the crab rangoons really scratched that itch. For main, the kids got burgers (beyond) and a loaded grilled cheese. We got lobster Mac and cheese and tacos. The food was very tasty. Big portions. Definitely recommend for a fun night out!

Great Addition to Schenectady

UnBeetable is a great place with friendly staff and yummy food and drinks. The arcade games are fun as well. Food is simple, but good veganized bar food. The only downside is that they host private events somewhat frequently. We’ve had a couple of times where we wanted to go and they were closed for a private party. So definitely check their instagram or call ahead to be sure.

Pros: Fully vegan sit down establishment! , Dedicated owner, Fun atmosphere

Cons: Frequent closures for private parties

Good vegan barcade junk food

Tasty food, cool vibe. Ordered takeout so didn’t actually use the barcade but seems like a cool/unique spot for the region. Big fan of the seitan wings

Best vegan restaurant in the area!

They have great sandwiches, wings, burgers, Mac and cheese and drinks. Highly recommend bringing anyone there. Don’t have to be vegan.

Crab Rangoons!!!

Best vegan crab rangoons and pastrami I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back and drag all my Schenectady relatives there too. Be sure to get a hangover cure breakfast crane the next day from Take Two Cafe

Earns it's name

So many choices and super tasty. Plus, who doesn't love Pac-man? I got nachos, Mac n cheese balls (okay), pretzels and a cookie sandwich with ice cream. Overall it was great, especially the dessert.

Best meal I’ve had in a long time (and fun!)

Absolutely phenomenal food/service/atmosphere. Our meal was out of this world delicious: we got Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, fish, Mongolian beef, and steak Caesar tacos, French onion and nightmare hot dogs, sidewinder fries, beet slaw. I would get it all again. Flavorful without being heavy. Cocktails were spot on. Games were a blast. Our server was a delight. Can’t wait til next time!

Awesome!

It was impossible trying to decide which to order. They need to have an appetizer sampler platter so you can try a little bit of everything! I would order the crab Rangoon again, was so good! They could have been a bit warmer though. I would skip the egg rolls and wings next time (good but nothing crazy). Really looking forward to going back and trying more things!

Note on ambience- it was VERY loud in there, I think it needs some sound dampeners in there because the room echos a ton. I also wish it were a little bit darker in there. I wanted it to be a little bit more grungy feeling, but that’s my personal opinion!

Yessss, they should absolutely have an appetizer sampler platter! We had the same struggle.

Awesome Food & Place

Really cool place. Food was delicious. Only complaint was the temperature of the cheese sauce with the pretzels. It was cold and definitely should have been warmer. Overall really great food in a cool place.

Wow. Freaking WOW!

Chelsea has done it again just more so. What a phoenix! UnBEETable is fun and has delicious comfort food and apps and drinks for all. Appetizers were great. We should have stopped there ... but we couldn't. We had entrees and dessert after splitting 4 appetizers and then took a whole bunch of other stuff home as well. We won't be able to eat for a week. It was worth every penny! Can't wait to go again!

Perfect Birthday Venue

Across the board, from the greeter, wait staff, and bartenders, every member of this team was kind, patient, and happy to help. They figured out how to arrange tables so our large group could sit together. They gave great food and drink suggestions to my not vegan friends. Everyone had a blast!

Pros: Kind staff. , Sick games!!, Good sized beer list.

Cons: Not a con: My non vegan friends liked all the food, Not a con: Super accommodating for large party, Not a con: Reversible octopus plushy

All vegan barcade in downtown Schenectady?!

Chelsea of Take Two fame has really outdone herself with this project. As more and more places close down in the wasteland of downtown Schenectady, she has more than filled the void with Unbeetable, an entirely vegan barcade, basically our own vegan Dave & Buster’s.

It is super spacious inside and the games were very well curated, including everything from arcade classics to basketball to air hockey, even to various tabletop and boardgames available. The decor is sick. There’s a photo booth. They have a full bar with enthusiastic mixologists—I don’t drink, but they even have some awesome mocktails. The menu is eclectic and unique. I’ve tried a decent handful of the various appetizers and they’re all outrageously good; all decadent pub food anyone looking to go crazy will enjoy. Also, everyone there is cute and nice and friendly.

Still can’t get over the fact that we have something like this now. Wow.

So good, and for everyone!!

There’s a wide variety of arcade games, and there’s even board games in the corner with comfy chairs and a lava lamp. The food is so good!! They’ve seriously put a lot of time into perfecting their menu items, everything is fantastic. I’m vegan and came with three non vegans, who each ordered a dish and loved what they got!! Will 100% be coming back to try different dishes each time!

Pros: All vegan, large menu, Wide spread of arcade games , Food and fun for everyone

Such a fun place!!!

I love this place so much! It’s the perfect place for dinner, drinks, and to play retro/vintage arcade games. They also have board games available to play. The decor is arcade themed and so cute, and everyone who works there is awesome. The best vibes all around! Everything I’ve had to eat and drink there so far was amazing—the lobster roll, the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, the side winders, the Trademarked Princess mocktail, and the brownie Sunday. I highly recommend them all. I’m especially impressed with the fantastic mocktail offerings because in my experience it’s surprisingly rare to find places that offer a selection of mocktails on the menu without having to make special requests. The one I had was very flavorful and delicious.

The arcade games can be played by paying with a credit or debit card, or you can use the kiosk there to purchase a card that you’ve loaded money onto to use. I think there’s just one game that requires coins to play.

They have two all-gender restrooms.

Update: I have tried many things from the menu now, and would recommend any and all of them.
