History

Midway Bar opened in February of 2011. The name comes from an homage to carnival lore, also to the company that created many video arcade games. Also, it's the midway point between North and South Wburg, and while we're at it, let's throw out a shout for the WWII battle at Midway (whatever).

Specialties

good drinks at cheap prices. Plus we have lots of cool arcade games.
