Video Game Bar Makes Its Way to Las Vegas

Catering to cosplayers, video game fans, and craft beer connoisseurs, Orlando, Florida’s Player 1 Video Game Bar is expanding to Las Vegas.

Announced as “coming soon,” but not yet revealing an exact location, a menu of uncommon beers, sakes, meads, and wines will be served by “beer-tenders,” all encouraged to dress as their favorite video game character.

Suggestions for future staffers include Lara Croft, Cortana from Halo, Super Mario’s Princess Peach, Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, and any appropriate soldier from a first-person shooter.

The original location debuted in 2013 and offers more than 150 bottled beers, with an additional 50 choices on draft, plus more than 40 ciders and 15 different meads. Non-alcoholic “craft sodas” and draft root beer are also available.

In Orlando, guests pay a $5 cover charge for unlimited time on arcade cabinets and consoles including “Atari, NES, N64, PSX, PS4” models. Customers can also order local food delivery, but any casual dining options for Las Vegas have not yet been revealed.
