Video Game Bars

Battle and Brew is a Video Game-Themed Bar in Atlanta

— May 14, 2014 — Lifestyle
Battle and Brew is upping the ante for themed bars everywhere by infusing video game battles and trivia with beer taps. It's a place where "bros" and "geeks" can have the best of both worlds.

The bar focuses heavily on gaming and Geek Trivia, but also boasts great food and drinks, which tend to be named after video game characters and concepts. For example, it offers up a 'Tri Force Burrito' and a 'Deathstar of Burgers.' Its menu is even ranked by level instead of being organized by course.

Video game enthusiasts no longer have to wait for Comic-Con to dress up either; the bar supports cosplay and people can usually be seen donning costumes that mimic their favorite video game characters on a typical Friday night.
Trend Themes
1. Video Game-themed Bars - Opportunity to create more video game-themed bars that combine gaming, trivia, and themed food and drinks, attracting both gamers and non-gamers alike.
2. Gamified Menus - Opportunity to develop menus in other industries that use gamification techniques, such as ranking items by level or organizing them according to a game theme.
3. Cosplay-friendly Venues - Opportunity to create more venues that support cosplay, allowing people to dress up as their favorite characters and enhancing the immersive experience.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Hospitality industry can create video game-themed bars to attract a wide range of customers, combining entertainment, food, and drinks.
2. Restaurant - Restaurants can explore gamified menus to engage customers and make dining experience more interactive and enjoyable.
3. Event Planning - Event planning industry can tap into the demand for cosplay-friendly venues to organize themed parties and events that cater to fans of video games and other popular media.
