Join Jamar and Marshall for Mario Kart Mondays, a weekly bracket-style tournament where you can compete for a $50 Replay gift card while enjoying all-day happy hour specials like $6 High Noons and $5 Rum Chata shots. Roll in at 7 PM for freeplay and sign-ups, then settle in for the main event at 8 PM in this queer-owned arcade bar that's all about good vibes, great games, and zero judgment. Whether you're a Mario Kart legend or just here to cheer on your friends with a craft beer in hand, this is your weekly dose of low-key competition and community in the heart of Boystown.
