Its a bar, not a restaurant.

Do you not want to drink and play video games at noon?

[bchris02]

This place will be awesome. I may have to check it out tonight or tomorrow.

^^^ what I was getting at... like when I was a kid... do I eat lunch today or do I sacrifice my lunch money and play games at the arcade on the way home...

Surprising not open at lunch

Yeah.... I was hoping they would be open at lunch too... Especially when I had heard they would have food trucks parking out front.

I'll probably make it over there once or twice a month after work but I would have been there several times a week if I could go at lunch since it's walking distance for me.

You got me.

I'm here now and it's pretty awesome! I do think that it's pretty hot, but besides that and them running out of tokens it seems to be going smoothly. Multiple bartenders checked to see if we had been helped yet while we waited for drinks. The staff seems personable and happy. I am pleased with how it turned out.

[JRod1980]

I'm taking all feedback, good and bad. It's only our second night and we have several wrinkles to iron out, but we will get there. Obviously the main thing is the tokens, we ordered several thousand tokens and they basically disappeared between last night and tonight. So we are ordering more tokens than we are going to know what to do with, but until we get more tokens in we will be switching the games over to free play. Our bartenders are still getting used to the signature drinks and educating our clients on a lot of our local and regional brew selection. Lastly, we are looking to start the process of getting a sign for the front, but we had to wait until after opening in order to close all permits and open up in time. Thank you ahead of time for taking the time to give us your feedback.

Let me tell you about the time I got drunk at the max and walked back to my hotel with $50 worth of their tokens. The abridged version is jägermeister and ski ball.

[Urbanized]

I never thought about token attrition. How much are the tokens per copy from the manufacturer? It could either be an unexpected windfall or a bank-breaker.

[JRod1980]

It's not cheap, that's for sure. We ordered 3500 tokens and paid several hundred dollars. Last count today, we had less than 200. So 3300 tokens walked out the door in 2 nights, kinda hurts. But we are ordering several thousand more tokens and will get it figured out.

Just counted the tokens from me and the wife and it's over 50. Sorry do u want me to stop by and redeem them?

Would love a USA vs Russia bubble hockey machine.

Went Friday night and had a blast.

I think I have some Nintendo games in the garage, not sure if they work would u want donations for the Nintendo ?

Well we would love for you to come back and use the tokens on your next visit. I just wanted to clarify why we ran out, we were getting some bad feedback because of the token situation. As for the Nintendo games, we would gladly accept a donation of the games to add to the collection. We hope to have our 80's living room complete by next weekend, so please can start reserving it ahead of time.
