[QUOTE="The_Fan, post: 5280747, member: 11607"] No, I don't mean the gaming cliche. I mean an actual bar. Inspired a bit by Yahtzee's Mana Bar, as well as my own observation that the game store camaraderie is quite comparable to tavern culture but tends to exclude the actual consumption of booze, I had a brilliant idea: A tabletop gaming-themed bar. Many gamers love booze. Many boozers like to play games. Combining the two seems natural. Obviously, such a setup would be different from conventional bars. Music would have to be kept at a low volume so as not to distract. Tables would have to be large, to accomodate up to five players and the DM (possibly with a 1-inch grid and dice wells built in). Private rooms would be available for those who want some solitude for their gaming, with drinks delivered by the pitcher for them. In my hometown there are 3-4 comic/gaming stores at any given time (some close, new ones open...two are permanent fixtures). I'd probably work out a deal with them to funnel players to me after-hours, so games could be continued and held well into the night. The name "You All Meet In A Bar" is a working title. Any thoughts on this? Would you frequent a gamer-friendly tavern? [/QUOTE]
