Australia Opening Their First Video Game Pub, Mana Bar
Going Down Under anytime soon? If you find yourself in Australia with a parched tongue this February, keep your eyes open for the country’s first dedicated video game bar, Mana Bar.
At Mana Bar you can put your feet up, grab a controller with one hand, and a martini with the other. Save your arcade quarter stash for more cocktails, because the joint offers all the gaming you can handle free of charge. Trivia, tournaments, launch events, and other gaming-related things will keep gaming lushes occupied while ordering another round.
Up to 50 patrons can occupy the establishment before the Mana Bar is maxed out. No word has been released regarding whether Mana Bar’s maximum capacity will increase when it levels up.
You can thank Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation and three other Aussies for the bar’s creation. Any Australian gamers out there excited at the prospect of tap beer and video games?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
