Located on the second floor of McFadden Public Market is Mission Control, a barcade filled with classic arcade consoles from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s along with pinball machines such as AC/DC, Indiana Jones and even a newer Batman mashup in which you get to fight Heath Ledger’s Joker. With a rotating selection of craft beers, fine cocktails and bites from the eateries downstairs, it’s a coin-operated gamer’s haven—and before you know it, you’ve spent all your laundry money getting lost in the glowing tables trying to beat that high score.
515 N. Main St., Santa Ana, (657) 232-3338; www.mcfaddenmarket.com/arcademissioncontrol.
