IOWA CITY — Double Tap Beercade has introduced a new arcade for drinking, at 121 E. College St., along the Ped Mall.

Located in the basement between The Roxxy and The Stuffed Olive, Double Tap began pouring on June 22. It’s open for pizza, beer, cocktails and dozens of new and vintage games until midnight every day.

Specialty pizza offerings include crab rangoon, spinach artichoke and jalapeno popper.

The offering from Paramount Bar Company is the second location in Iowa; the first opened in Cedar Falls.

Double Tap’s opening comes several months after The Roxxy opened in November and about a month after The Stuffed Olive. All three are owned by Paramount Bar Company.
