1982 Bar

My boyfriend and I were in Gainesville for the weekend and we were invited to hang out here with some friends. Pretty cool bar! They have a wide selection of awesome older video games to play on their Super Nintendos or the N64. I saw people play Tetris & we played a few rounds of Pokemon Stadium. The staff was really really nice and down to earth! The beer selection was very good although I was a bit sad they had run out of my beloved Left Hand Nitro :(

Stumbled into this little gem on the way from Midtown to Downtown.  It was a long walk.. we got thirsty.

Went into the joint for a quick beer.  They came and try to ask for cover. Once we told him we weren't staying long, he let us stay rent free.  

Its a divey little joint.  Some band was playing some pop-punk- popular in the early 2000's.  Scared the heck out of me when a kid came up to the bar who looked about 15.  I glanced down and saw the wristband, and X's on his hands. I guess this place is for all ages.  He was coming to the bar because there were 4 TVs set up with Tetris, Donkey Kong, and two other games I am not nerdy enough to name.  I am still a big fan of Tetris - which is why they get the 3 stars. Who else does that? Pretty sweet idea.

Only about 5 taps.  Glad they at least had 1 IPA, Swamphead as expected. After my friend showed up some undergrads in Tetris, we finished our beers and moved on.

Cool place to stop by for a beer. Eclectic crowd.

A dive bar with a good beer selection and that hosts all-ages shows with some damn good regional bands. I'm perhaps a little biased because a friend tends bar there, but the staff is exceptional and very friendly while the bar itself is doing a real service to the community as one of very few places in this college town to host all-ages shows and get a good, diverse selection of bands. On nights when there is not a show, it's a typical bar though often they have video games, trivia nights, and the like. I hope it will be around a long time because Gainesville needs this.
