About The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery
The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery is the Cedar Rapids pick for groups that want activity built into the night. Go for arcade energy and a casual brewery hang, not a quiet date or food-led dinner. For pizza, cross-shop Need Pizza; for a more direct brewery outing, compare it with Lion Bridge Brewing Co.
For a Cedar Rapids outing where casual dress and evening/weekend hours matter, The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery is a direct option to consider. The verified details are limited, so plan around what is confirmed: the venue is in Cedar Rapids, the dress code is casual, and the weekly schedule has closures on Monday and Tuesday.
Because verified information does not confirm specific food, drink, seating, pricing, or service details, avoid building the whole plan around any one menu item, beverage program, or room setup unless you have checked the venue's current channels. Use the name and confirmed hours as a starting point, then verify the details that matter most for your group.
Plan around the confirmed hours
Set expectations around the verified schedule: The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery is closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday and Thursday from 3–9 PM, Friday from 3–11 PM, Saturday from 11 AM–11 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM–8 PM. Wednesday and Thursday are the shorter weekday windows, while Friday and Saturday give you later hours. If your plan depends on a specific atmosphere or setup, confirm the current details before going.
Verified food detail is limited, so this should not be sold as a destination dining choice on the available information alone. Treat it as a casual Cedar Rapids option first, and check the venue's current channels if food is central to the plan. For comparison, you can also look at Need Pizza, Lion Bridge Brewing Co. or Black Sheep Social Club when deciding what kind of Cedar Rapids stop best fits the night.
Use confirmed details as the starting point
The safest way to plan is to treat The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery as one possible part of a Cedar Rapids itinerary, then confirm current details before relying on unverified features. Pair it with our full Cedar Rapids bars guide for more options, or widen the plan through our full Cedar Rapids restaurants guide if food needs to lead.
Verdict: consider it for a casual Cedar Rapids plan with verified evening and weekend hours. Do not choose it based on specific food, drink, seating, or service expectations unless you have confirmed those details directly.

How It Compares
Choose The Quarter Barrel Arcade & Brewery when the group needs built-in entertainment and an easygoing downtown stop. Need Pizza is the better call when food, especially pizza, is the anchor. The Map Room is a stronger fit for a focused bar-and-burger style night where the table matters more than the activity.
For ambiance, Black Sheep Social Club reads more like a restaurant-bar choice, while Sacred Cow Tavern is the easier casual tavern comparison. Lion Bridge Brewing Co. is the more direct pick if the beer program is the central reason for going; Quarter Barrel makes more sense when arcade energy is part of the value.
If you cannot land the right timing here, start with Need Pizza for a group meal or Lion Bridge Brewing Co. for a brewery-first plan. For broader city ideas, compare with Maikka Lobby Bar, or browse farther afield through 'O Munaciello MiMo District Neapolitan Pizza in Miami, (405) Brewing Co. LLC in Norman, and ¡BE! Club in San Sebastián.
