Barcades

How financially feasible would it be to run a successful bar/arcade with an emphasis on competitive games rather than just party games?

Angry competitive gamers drinking? Lots to spend on security

Tbh you’re overthinking it.
People want to relax and Fuxk around no one wants to be super competitive with a old retro game.

And unfortunately roasties don’t get it.

You’re better off with a regular bar or barcade

I think it would be nice to have a tournament every once in a while

I never specified retro games. It could be modern cabinets of Tekken 7 or Street Fighter V. I just threw that up because I didn't know what else to put up.

Don't do it. I know 4 people who started one and they ALL failed miserably. It's like hookers. You think it's cute and grand until the lights come on.

Buy AAVE, make it, then never work again.

You need to decide your target demographic now. Do you put up signs requiring basic hygiene, or do you hope that volume of people counteracts the ass-stank of your typical melee player driving some customers away?

you're just gonna get a bunch of nerds who'll just show up for the games and not pay for drinks

There is one in my town, it’s been successful but the arcades were always out of order all the time and finally they were removed altogether with only pinball machines and skeetball remaining. It’s hard to maintain the stuff with the supply of arcade CRTs drying up.

I've only been to one barcade but it had zero serious gamers. Was all normies and not any different from other bar except it was 95% millenials and zoomers
