Freeplay and sign-ups kick off at 7 PM with tournament brackets starting at 8 PM, giving you plenty of time to warm up on the arcade cabinets and grab a drink in this queer-owned, welcoming space right in the heart of Boystown. Whether you're a Mario Kart pro or just looking for a fun Monday night out with friends, this is the perfect low-key yet competitive vibe to catch up, play, and celebrate wins.
