Mother says while we’re not doing pop ups or festivals for a while, we do still have a pretty awesome nerd closet located inside the bar you can check out Thursday through Monday.

Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask Brian! We still has a ton of inventory in the back. So even if it’s not displayed, it never hurts to ask 🥰

Mother says the spirit of embracing nerd culture and celebrating it though games, collectibles, and hanging out is at the heart of who we are.

We may have a smaller retail footprint going into 2026, but that heart is still beating strong.

We appreciate everyone who shopped, played, and talked with us this year! From Reggaefest to Mario Kart tournaments— it was a blast 🥰

Congrats to Dennis - our year-round Mario Kart champion!!! He won the most 1st places in 2025 — never placing outside the top 3!

And not far behind him is Eli - the mighty esports kiddo who will one day surpass us all - coming in second!

Finally, thanks to all our regulars — including Matthew & Elijah — who have played Mario Kart or Smash Bros with us over the year.

We’ll be back in 2026!! Until then, the arcade is open daily & we’d love to see you stop in 🙌🙌🙌
