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.
