| - This place is located about a mile from downtown Charlotte, and is definitely unique for what it is. The vibe is very causal, drinks are served in plastic cups, and there are only about 3-4 tables to sit at. PBR tall boys were on special, but they still had a decent selection of drinks and draft beers, including a local Gose on tap.
The bar itself is relatively small and it was very crowded on a Saturday night. The place was at capacity by 10:00 pm and there was a short line forming outside.
When you arrive you have to show a membership card or apply for membership for $1 by filling out form. The membership card is valid as long as you have it. If you loose it, you probably have to get another.
There are about 20-30 pin ball and arcade games arranged around the bar. There were lines at a couple games, but you could usually find one to play that was open. The games range from new to vintage and included killer queen, centipede, pac man, x-men, frogger, donkey kong, and more. There was also a Nintendo set up with a tube tv and couches for lounging.
There's a change machine if you need quarters, but it seemed a little temperamental. I wish the space was a little bigger and also wish there was more room to hangout, sit and talk with friends. The music was very loud which made it hard to carry on a conversation so we played a few games but didn't stay and hang out too long. I'm not a huge a arcade game fan, but if you are this would definitely be a great place to stop.
