The 'Mana Bar' is the first licensed venue in Brisbane, Australia opening in February 2010 that will allow people to enjoy a drink while playing the latest video game systems.
Located in the heart of Brisbane's entertainment district - Fortitude Valley - the Mana Bar will feature a stylish geek chic interior design with multiple LCD screens attached to the walls with playable next-gen console systems. The venue will be accessible to a wider casual market, while still catering to the hardcore gamer crowd.
Entry to the venue will be free, with no charge to play the games. The Mana Bar has a 50 person maximum capacity, and will host many special events such as game release parties, guitar hero tournaments, trivia nights, launch events, and many more.
The Mana Bar is the creation of 4 Brisbane locals - Guy 'Yug' Blomberg, Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, Pras Moorthy, and Shay Leighton.

Hah, I wonder if CG feels special writing this. Only the 15-20th article written on it. Check their Twitter. I've been following this for a while. Also, Yahtzee is a british writer, currently living in Sydney. He's done game dev, but mainly known for his work on Zero Punctuation, part of "The Escapist". |
