Seeing a lot of barcades these days

But then saw a lot of explicitly 50s-throwback diners with neon-bubble Wurlitzers (if not tableside coin-op jukeboxes) when I was growing up 80s-90s

Our local was Nifty Fifties, in the original location that became a Dairy Queen

Don’t see them anymore

Huh, there’s also a restaurant called Nifty Fiftys in Port Townsend. Appears to be an unrelated business, though.

If you want tableside coin-op jukeboxes, though, there’s still Luna Park Cafe in Seattle.
