| - I came here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and his best friend, who are craft brew fans. We drove over from the East Valley to check it out. They seemed to like the beer. I don't drink beer and so water was the only other option. So I mostly just looked at them, looked at the other patrons, tried to identify all of the 8 bit renderings of video game legends in the paintings on the walls, sipped my water and listened to the 8 bit, midi music playing overhead on a continuous loop as it slowly drilled into my skull.
A couple of thoughts... It is a little off the beaten path and in a mostly vacant (at least on the weekend) light industrial/office park so look for the sandwich board signs to guide you if you come. There were a few other patrons so we were able to pinpoint the location by seeing the cluster of cars parked outside.
There is no food offered, yet, but apparently you can bring in your own, which is a huge plus. Also, there are no video games, huge bummer, but apparently locals also bring in their own games on Fridays for use...?
I am a HUGE fan of video games, both old and new, and I would suggest we trek back out here at some point *if* the owners brought in some retro gaming systems. Wouldn't be too hard: Pick up some cheap televisions at a secondhand store (Goodwill occasionally sells them for $1 on special) and get some retro game systems and games for the patrons to enjoy: Right now a Nintendo 64, with games, can be had on eBay for less than $100. eBay also has Sega Genesis, Atari and Nintendo NES platforms with games for sale for dirt cheap too.
Imagine happy patrons sitting around sipping their beers and playing the games of their youth: Super Mario World, Pac-Man, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Castlevania, or Mortal Kombat 4.
Think about that, get back to me. ;)
