Following some conversations at UKPinfest 2019, A few good folks wanted to be kept apprised on my new venture here in Ireland.
Well rather than send everyone in UK and Ireland separate bits of information I said id make this post and you can follow the progress here and have the links.
I'm open to suggestions and ideas on how to improve things and be more efficient if you spot any problems chime in.
The Idea came from my trip to Texas pinball festival (hitting those barcades) and my trip to Arcade clubs Leeds and Bury and Tilt while looking at the place in Dublin called token
While all worked and are still working they did not cater for everything each had the pros and cons i.e. some were made to break even, some to cash in, some too small and some too big, Some no food, some just craft and some without arcades.
The Business plan was to get Arcades and pinball back into Ireland in a central venue that can accommodate all demographics as much as possible while making the place welcoming to all.
With the faltering Pub Trade none existent arcade/pinball trade and the so so food trade over here and to cater for Pinball, Retro arcade, Modern arcade, Asian arcade, and have the services of good food plenty of beer choice and be an easily accessible venue.
The Venue is located In Limerick the place formally know as Scotts bar in Limerick City, subject to planning. 20 Minute walk from the city centre or 9-minute walk from Punches Cross bus stop. We needed somewhere big enough and accessible enough in order to sustain 50+ machines, enough tables, seating, etc!
