Was posted about in the business opening thread and there's a more detailed post in the arcade sub. It's great to see something different opening in Limerick like this.

Level Up BarKade is a new experience opening in Limerick which consists of a Bar/Kitchen/Arcade. Level Up BarKade’s story so far consists of months of planning, countless hours of hard work and we’re excited about the launch of our brand new venue. We’ve already acquired 50+ Arcade Machines coming from Ireland, United Kingdom, USA and some even all the way from Japan. We also will have between 6 - 10 Pinball Machines at Launch too.

We’re going all out with this venue and we want to bring you a truly unique experience while maintaining the highest quality of service in the industry. We look forward to welcoming you in our doors on November 1st when we finally open. This is only the start of our journey, with the overall plan to expand our machine count to 80+ over the next year all going well, while hoping to continuously improve as time moves along.

We have compiled a sneak preview list below of what's planned for launch, holding back a lot of our Retro Machines and heavy-hitters, which will be revealed closer to launch date (There are some real surprises to come, will be posted via Social Media)

This is brilliant news, love token in Dublin, great addition. Where is it opening?

Bye bye my coins, total weakness for pinball machines...

Hope they do proper beer too.

If it takes after Token's set up in Dublin it will do well.

Get the food right, have some decent beers on tap and some in the fridge, and you'll be attracting more than the machine fans.

I just hope it's near public transport or near the city centre.

That's the plan!

Thanks all for the kind words! A couple of posts have popped up and the moderators have asked to try and consolidate it a bit (and it will be easier to manage for ourselves too) so if you have any specific questions we'll do our best to answer them here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?t=2058015288&page=2
