Shoryuken League

Pretty damn cool. This is the first time that I've ever been in a place that caters exclusively to old and new school gamers. I've only been there once, but I was impressed.

Not too hot on booze or energy drinks lately, but they have a bar, and afaik bottomless energy drinks if you want. Good pub fare is available.

There are a lot of arcade machines there. Place is lined with big flatscreen TVs, each one surrounded by cushy couches, so it pretty much simulates the console gamer living room. They've got a catalog of games you can request for any machine ranging from snes to the modern gaming machines. Just pick a game from the list, and they'll come over and load it into the consoles locked into the wall, and give you a couple of controllers. Come by with a group of friends and chill out for however long. I think there's a membership fee involved, but it's nothing staggering. I can't remember specifically as I was only there one night as a guest to a family member who lives in town.

While I wouldn't want to get started on some kind of super-involved rpg, I think it's fun to kill a couple hours playing some old-school classics like mariokart etc.

A barcade isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, and I wouldn't call it a regular destination by any means, but it scores major points for being unique and relaxing if you want an evening out with drinks, but you don't feel like shaking your money-maker on a dance floor.

This place is as WOOHOO as it gets. I am pregnant, and now do not have to feel ashamed to go out to the bar CUZ I CANZ ORDER CEREALZ  at this place, and sit wit mah fwendz. They can booz, I can cereals, we all get our game on and get da fuk outta da house. You can't beat this place, seriously! The seating is nice and koozy, the games are spaced out well,  the ambiance isn't seedy bar gross, it's chillin at a friends place drinkin', snackin', and gamin'. I will not let this place go under, and I refuse to go back into... uh... what's it called? "The other barcade"... Level Up? Yeah, doesn't compare. Shoryuken League make me happy inside, which makes me smile of course!

Spent a few hours here since my first post. This place is great! Retro gamers could lose quite a few hours in here. If their was a monthly membership plan for families it would be even better.
