Haunted Bar In Williamsburg

Posted by mike as Haunted

According to a recent Gothamist article, Williamsburg’s Barcade bar is built on haunted burial ground. Barcade is a bar and arcade, featuring a number of classic arcade games, like the original Super Mario that I was convinced I could beat when I was there. I couldn’t.

Interestingly, Barcade runs on 100% wind power.

More interestingly, it’s haunted.

The cemetery was known as the Old Methodist Burying Ground which serviced the Attorney Street Methodist Church and the First Methodist Protestant Church of Williamsburg. When the church closed in 1856, the bodies were allegedly moved to Cyprus Hills Cemetery, but the Scout wonders if a few bodies may remain.
