New arcade bar to open in downtown Macon
Gamers unite!
A new arcade and bar opening in downtown Macon throws back to a simpler time when all you needed was a joystick and tokens — and maybe a few liquid libations — to have fun.
Reboot Retrocade & Bar will have its grand opening at 1 p.m. Dec. 2 at 566 Cherry St. It will be open until midnight.
The new bar will feature arcade games from the 1970s-1990s, gaming consoles from Odyssey and Atari through SNES and GameCube, and board games, said Whitney Boyer, who co-owns the business with Jeremy Smith. A gallery will feature “nerd and gaming-themed art” by local artists.
The drink menu will feature 10 “nerd-themed” cocktails and five shots. Eventually, there will be an indoor area for lawn games, Boyer said.
A sampling of games can be viewed on Reboot Retrocade & Bar’s Facebook page.
