Well it's been a long time again and after too much stress and hassle, my little venture is now open. Some of you guys may remember this was mooted a while ago.
In any case, we settled on a three-pronged approach. Restaurant, Bistro and Lounge, the lounge being my games room I guess... Some pics for those that may be interested.
Cheers
Adrian

more pics

Looks nice. Good luck! :cheers:
-
Wow... looks like you sank some serious cheddar in that place. Looks nice! How about more pics of your games?
-
Very nice drawfull. 8)
I could only look at a couple of pics due to my uber slow conection but it looks nice :)
Remind me where you are again? I think you are on some Isle somewhere IIRC.
Do you have a website etc? I'll spread the word where I can :cheers:
-
My iphone pics are terrible, and am waiting on the final pics we had done - those few were sent by email.
I should have some nice shots of the games in a few days though. Currently we have Track n Field, Ms Pac, Galaga, Joust cocktail, Space Invaders and Arkanoid in there. We have Star Wars, Tapper, R-Type, Defender cocktail, Donkey Kong, Elevator Action, Robotron and Galaxian cocktail either in storage or on the way.
We do have a website but it's not live yet due to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- service on the Isle of Man. You pay your money, you get erm... well.
Needs more than luck!!! (the weather could do us a favour!)
-
Great looking business!
How long have you been open? Are things going well so far?
-
We've been open about 6 weeks, hitting forecasts so can't complain. Well. I could. No, it is going well. Just need leaf switches for track n field - the staff are addicted, never mind customers. It gets a lot of abuse....
-
Wow. That's pretty nice looking! Great job!

Really nice layout! I love those chrome LOVE seats (or am I reading it wrong) :)
Where is it located?

:applaud:

Great looking business. Best of luck with it. I remember the Isle of Man way back when I was a teenager and reading about TT races in the motorcycle mags here in Canada. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Looks like a really classy place. Good luck, and I hope business stays steady.
Have you marketed it as a place with games or is it kind of a "come in for a drink, see the games and get hooked" kind of strategy?

on the Isle of Man.

Doh! Completely read past that post.
Wish I could visit, but it'll be a while. Texas is a long way away :(
-
Damn nice.

Congrats. You totally Sucked all the class out of your place with a giant picture
of a wench sucking on a filthy Stinkerette.

Gorgeous. I would change my name to Norm and hang out there daily if you were any where near me.
-
I was wondering what had happened to you... now I know!
Good luck, it looks like a great place.

That pic is the best bit - it's wallpaper actually. I love it.

The TT is still bonkers. They have no fear and well everyone even seasoned bikers (I'm not) gasp at the speed they do. It's MAD

Licensing killed it. I'd still love some of your tables though. Find a way.

We have love and sex. They are a cleaning nightmare.... :)
-
That's usually the case with good love and sex.
I love the restaurant. Very classy looking. But let's have some better pics of those arcade cabinets, you tease.

I thought that was a projector.
Are all the cabs tabletops? Or do you have a couple of standups somewhere?

That's good to hear. I'd forgotten all about ya, until you chimed up in the other thread yesterday or whatever.

I just noticed the Pac Man theme in the floor there. Very nice! Subtle, while still letting you know you're in a game room.
-
I'm not liking the predominantly white theme for a lounge/game room. White with dark wood contrast works in the other areas, but there... seems too bright and too "just painted apartment" looking. Will the lighting be dimmed, or colored?
-
That is a beautiful looking place you have!
Best of luck with your new endeavor.

Yes, we dim the lights and I don't like the white floor. We only did it cos the ceiling is so low, it wouldve felt really claustrphobic.
I know this post is gonna be meesed up even before I hit send but I can't see what I am typing - is it something to do with Windows 7?
-
No idea. I didn't think the white was how Ray said, I just thought you were going for that 'modern' look. Chicks, in cities at least, generally like that.

I had my eyes gouged out by too many craptastic cabs (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=97615.0). I can only see table tops now.

Wow Drawful! You have been very busy boy.
I love this place, I wish it were close to Kentucky, I would definitely give you some business.
