Retro Arcade and Live Music Social

It is tough to find your crowd when the music is loud and the venue is packed. This event is the solution for finding your people. We are bringing together retro gaming enthusiasts, music lovers, and craft beer fans to share ideas, swap tips on mastering the pinball machine, and spark new friendships. Our main goal is to help you form a go-to circle for your next night out.

What to Expect

We know that typical social gatherings can feel overwhelming or even a bit daunting, especially if you are coming alone. That is why we have crafted this format for genuine connection. Instead of shouting over the live music to a room full of strangers, we focus on rotating, one-on-one conversations. This structure is intentionally designed to reduce social anxiety, letting you relax and simply be yourself. Think of it as a quest for finding your Player 2. You will meet a diverse group of enthusiasts and discover who shares your specific passion for old-school arcade games or craft beers. In each round, you might find your next gaming buddy, a fellow music enthusiast, or a new social drinker to join you at the bar.

Our Goal For You

This is not just about talking about your high scores from years ago; it is about building a crew for future adventures. Our primary goal is for you to leave having found your tribe—the start of a new pinball team, pool doubles duo, or a group of arcade high-score challengers. The open mingle is where it all comes together. This is the moment to reconnect with those you clicked with, merge conversations, and officially form your group. You can start planning your next steps right then and there, whether it is signing up for arcade tournaments, joining pool leagues, or organizing future concert outings—together.
