I was honestly expecting to see something about a bar revolving around gaming. I've heard it proposed by at least 4 seperate nerd friends.

  Add to that a coffee shop around thinking/debating... It's on my friends' lists.

    Yeah, and he's opening another branch soon in Philly.

      I think they're also doing a joint venture with some big restaurateur in NYC for something not quite related. They're certainly doing great, as they should; it's a great idea.

  This is definitely an idea lots of nerds have, which is exactly why it shouldn't be shrugged off. There's a desire for nerds to socially interact with similar nerds, and by and large this has been accomplished by adding social features to the internet. Well, why not add social features to a game stop? Why not add nerdy features to a bar? A barcade doesn't need to be the last stop. Why not take what we learned about online dating, and use it to improve offline dating? Maybe people don't want 'a bar revolving around gaming', but it's a thought in the right direction. Barcades and shared hacker work spaces are an actual step in the right direction.

    I know you don't really think that's the website for his bar.

    The site you linked to is for another bar(and a page with a Flash intro that pumps Jennifer Lopez into your ears, I should add)... This is the correct site: http://www.manabar.com.au/ http://www.manabar.com.au/
