Alcohol was so last decade????????? What should we be doing in this decade?
Hittin the bong duuuuuude.
I’m down.
I like yer style.
When I first went, it was cool. The food was okay, and the service good. The last time I went on a Saturday eve several months ago it was full of bros and teenyboppers. Security was holding people back, and it was not the place for an adult who wished to have a low-key time and spend money it seemed. I’m in agreement with the above posters about the concept being good but the execution lacking. It’s a shame really, as a place with video games like that which was friendly was a good idea.
I suspect it has something to do with the reduction in gaming, friendly people, and fun, along with the increase in bros and security guards.
Yeah, the clientele totally ruined the vibe of the place. Half price Sundays used to be the bomb.
What are “bros”. Do you mean black people?
It’s ok Al. Only conservatives are racists. No need to be concerned. Bahahahahahahahaah.
Bros does not refer to black people. It refers to douchey types, at least in my mind. “Bro! Duuude!” Also known as “Dude Bros.”
They never did quite have things together. From the get go, broken machines were a constant, food was average at best. Good concept, very poor execution.
That place was great when it first opened, not sure what happened along the way.
It seems like a series of bad decisions were made. They went from smart gestures like giving away a couple free tokens to play games for each beer purchased, to becoming a private club, ditching most of the gaming vibe and going for more of a swanky night club feel.
Last time I was there I hardly recognized it from what it was when it opened.
It’s not surprising they’re going under, seeing as how no one goes there anymore and the rent, I hear, is around 10k per month.
The games in there were so run down, Donkey Kong is missing a joy stick… Someone needs to make an arcade game space like the pinball museum for those style games. Alcohol is so last decade but if you still drink you can get it anywhere else
…and another one gone…and another one gone…another one bites th’ dust
They are probably closing because Brinks doesn’t have enough trucks to haul away the proceeds.
