XP Boost aka Faq
Need a boost?
This is where you'll find quick answers to stuff people ask us all the time--like how things work, what we've got on tap, or what games you can jump into.
No fluff, just the info you need to get started.
Main FAQ
Is there a cover?
Most of the time, no. We only charge a cover during special events, which are always announced on our social media. (Links are at the bottom of this page)
Does it cost to play games?
Nope! Games are free to play, but we do ask that you purchase something while you’re here—and please don’t forget to tip your bartenders.
Do you have food?
We keep it simple with self-serve snacks like cereal and ramen.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, kids are welcome until 9 p.m. After that, it’s 21+ only.
Disclaimer: Console Bar is a bar geared toward adults. While we allow kids earlier in the day, remember that this is still a bar environment—conversations, language, or general vibes may not always be kid-friendly.
Do you allow smoking?
There’s no smoking or vaping allowed indoors, but we do have a patio for that.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are welcome on the patio, but not inside the bar.
What are your hours?
We’re open Tuesday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Closed on Mondays.
What kind of games do you have?
We’ve got a mix of classics and favorites, including Tony Hawk, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Zelda, Fortnite, Tetris, GoldenEye, and various Atari games. We also have skill-based amusement games-777. Looking for something specific? Ask us—we might have it.
Do you host private parties?
Yes! We host private parties. Ask us about availability and options.
Do you have a happy hour?
Yep. Happy Hour is from 12–3 p.m. with $1.50 Michelob Ultra specials.
What kind of drinks do you serve?
See our menu for our beer list, cocktails, and more.
Do you have karaoke all day?
Yes! We offer self-serve karaoke anytime. On Sundays, we bring in DJ-led karaoke. (The only time it’s down is during tournaments, when the projector is in use.)
Bonus round FAQ
Do you allow button mashers?
Absolutely. Whether you’re a pro gamer or just here to mash buttons and sip a beer, you’re welcome.
Do you allow cheat codes?
We don’t judge how you play your games… but we will be offended if you use cheat codes to beat us.
Can I bring my own controller?
Sure, but we’ve got plenty of controllers ready to go—unless yours is your lucky charm, no need to pack it.
Do I need quarters for the games?
Nope. Think of it as “free play mode” as long as you grab a drink or snack while you’re here.
Can I challenge the bartender to Mario Kart?
Absolutely! Just know they’re limited on playtime—they’ve got to serve other patrons and clean between rounds.
Can I buy my bartender a drink?
Although you can buy your bartender a drink, they aren’t permitted to drink while on shift. (But don’t worry, they appreciate the gesture!)
What happens if I rage quit?
Take a deep breath, grab another drink, and respawn. We promise no one’s judging (unless you throw the controller).
Can I bring my own snacks?
Nope. That’s what our cereal and ramen stash is for. Plus, half the fun is living off the true gamer diet. We do allow food from nearby shops--we have great neighbors!
What if I beat everyone at Mario Kart?
Congrats, you’re the new champion! Just don’t get too cocky—someone’s always ready to throw a blue shell your way.
