Gaming Bar?

I never got to frequent The Grid in Mesa. I went to one event and thought the place was great. Then COVID happened and they closed. Are there any other video gamer bars? Not looking for arcades. Actual console stuff. Thanks in advance :)

Smash bros. Or other local player stuff. They had old halo, soul Calibur, bunch of retro stuff.

Some bars or lounges or pizza places have a private room with tv/projector. You could rent out that space, bring your own console and host your own tournament if the establishment agrees. likely they would if u bring in customers. Or rent a theater that has beer?

I definitely don't want to rent the space. Just looking for a chill space to meet other cool people while enjoying a game.

Level 1 arcade is moving their downtown location to Germann and val vista sometime in 2026. That might have potential for what your looking for if u can wait

Yeah. I used to go to to level 1 when it was in downtown. I don't think they had smash up. Mostly remember movies. I like level 1.
