For all those people who wanted to play Galaga while drinking but just couldn't figure out how to get it set up at home.

Drinking at a bar where a Cosmopolitan (a bad one at that) is the least gay drink you can order.

They're all loaded with semen.

Replacing the cranberry juice with manberry juice.

So Barcadia has been on winter break for half a year now

Apparently this is from a leaked Patron post?

Hey folks!
Firstly, just wanted to give my apologies for the lack of updates. There are workings behind the scenes and some external factors based the continuity of the venue which I can’t yet go into, hence this is currently for backer eyes only, but I’m aware that a couple of you have been asking for more information in the Discord server.
The short and sweet is, after long discussions, we’ve concluded that in its current format & setting, Barcadia unfortunately just wasn’t viable. It became painfully obvious by six months in, that the venue was going to struggle, but given our priority was always a community space over profit, we hoped to press on and get to a place where it could at least sustain itself. Every single avenue was explored, but despite continuing to put as much into it as we could, financially, physically and mentally, the arrangement with our landlords and providers meant our costs were increasing and the margins in hospitality which were already incredibly tight, were just getting tighter and tighter, meaning something had to give.
We had hoped to revamp the venue this year, and relaunch it into something that was better for the area and in line with suggestions from our community, but sadly, the resources and ultimately, market, were just not there.
This isn’t a decision we wanted to make; we’ve had tremendous fun with tremendous people, and we’d like to deeply thank everyone who supported us throughout.
It’s easy to see this as a disappointing failure, but for the time it lasted, Barcadia was fantastic, offering an atmosphere and community that I haven’t felt anywhere else, and I know those of you who visited agreed. It was worth it for every single kid who got excited discovering Pac-Man, and every event which made people feel like they had a safe community space to unwind in.
To those who didn’t get to see it, I’d like to extend my sincere apologies. We held on for as long as we could, but I really wish we could have continued long enough for every one of our backers to visit.
From a personal perspective, it’s been one hell of a journey; I genuinely poured my heart and soul into it, spent many hours both behind and in front of the bar, chatting to some of you folks, trying out new events, testing new menus, new machines, cleaning up vomit and serving some killer cocktails. I wouldn’t change a thing.
But…. the journey is not quite over. We’re aware that Rock Band Night withdrawal symptoms are now in their advanced stages, and chief event supremo, Jack, is eager to get back in the swing of things! Options are being looked at and I’ll put a video out in due course covering everything off.
In the mean time, please, please be sure to support your local independent businesses. There have been a huge swathe of retro arcades dying around the UK. Unless you’re a huge chain, it’s a tough world out there. So, if you’ve got something independent and local to you, and that you cherish, remember to give them some love.
Thank you so much for your support and ultimately, for making Barcadia possible. I’m just sorry that I couldn’t keep it alive for longer.
Much love,
Peter x

A poorly-run and poorly-maintained "business" failed. Imagine my shock.

"Big corporations" didn't end Barcadia, running it like a retard with no plan did that.

>Barcadia wasn't viable
What a shocking turn of events.

[rabidtictac]

Almost like all of us filthy trolls could have saved these fools a lot of money if they'd listened to us.

[Le Redditeur]

You don't get it, Barcadia was FUN to run, who cares about money? Specially when it's not your money you're burning through every month, but some cuck's Patreon monthly tithe.
