What is surprising is I was expecting a lot more news coverage on the Mana Bar opening this last weekend. Unfortunately most of the news sites are already too busy with news of God Of War 3 being released, or Final Fantasy 13 or PAX East which is coming up. Well whatever is in the news this is definitely not out there enough so we here at Campus Gamers have collected what we found to spread the news.
Unfortunately Campus Gamers is located in Canada and is too small to send someone out to experience the grand opening of the Mana Bar, but we still found out what is happening.
Today was the second day of the Mana Bar being open. For those who don’t know what the Mana Bar is, it is the world first video-game bar. The concept of drinking and playing games just goes hand-in-hand, but no one has done it before. Some concerns do come up wondering about managing expensive electronic equipment around drunks and will women actually come out to an event like this. Both these are questions that the Mana Bar has been dealing with, along with other questions on how to keep the bar exciting. As the current information collected from their Facebook and Twitter page, they are handling the situation well.
The first day of the bar being open they had an incredible turn out, with an extensive line outside of the venue. The managers of the bar actually brought out free pizza for the crowd to show their appreciation for everyone who came out.
