Urban Grind

I had fun today! About F’ing time you say? I know, I know! It is true that I can be a bit all work and no play. So to over compensate for this I have hired a classic arcade table for the cafe. I could tell you a story about my childhood regression but I have a better short story about this other guy.

I had been warming up the machine for about 15mins when this guy sits down across the room, sees the machine and instantly asks “Is that space invaders?… I used to play that when I was 15, now I am 51!” I reply with “Yes, would you like a game on me?” He almost jumps up. We play 2 players in Space Invaders while he introduces me to some SI strategy. He plays really well, moving to the second stage on his first go. It was awesome fun and would have been a great way to meet someone had I remembered to ask him his name. Seriously, there is something cool about sitting down to play Space Invaders with a 50 year old man that is better at it than you.

We have practice tokens so that you can get back in the groove for chasing those high scores but for just $1 a game, you can choose from 48 authentic classics including Frogger, PacMan, Galaxian, Space Invaders, Galaga, Gyruss, Donkey Kong and more.

BRING THE KIDS
Urban Grind is child-friendly and so is the Asobu. Bring your little one/s in for a turn at Ladybug or Junior PacMan – that is, if the grown-ups can tear themselves away!

The arcade table is on a 4-week trial. If you’d like to see it stay, come in and give it a good workout.
