After over a year of looking for a new studio and workshop space for The Geek Pub we bought a property that will soon become our new home. This has been a hard secret to keep!!!
We plan on sharing some of this space with The 8-Bit Guy the community. In addition to housing our studios and workshop, we'd like to eventually host a retro-computer and arcade museum!

This building will be our new studio and workshop! We’ll also be partnering with The 8-Bit Guy on a retro computer and arcade museum. Eventually we hope to host meetups too!

I actually really like the reception desk and the wood panelling behind it in the entry area, actually really nice looking. Should see if you can save it by moving the desk backwards or something . Can't be called geekPUB without turning the desk into a bar with sine optics on the wall behind it... Perfect for meet up and events 👌

@marcusjay8103 3 жыл бұрын

Some nice comfy seating with tables and a really cook "GeekPub" neon sign, but if not a legit neon, they now do really nice looking LED 'Neons' in any shape/size/colour. Would be such a cool welcome and hangout spot. And avoid eating and drinking around all your expensive 'museum' equipment. Put a nice black tint on the windows with some really nice LED's under the desk/bar ledge with some nice vintage lamps scattered on the tables with the fancy looking decorative Edison bulbs for some warm, welcoming atmosphere. Could be such a killer spot for meet ups, couple of old arcade or pinball machines in the area too Just my 2¢ ✌️
