With the dog days of summer just around the corner you may be looking for something to do to escape the heat. And while years ago, most theaters offered an arcade or a larger selectin of games for you to spend some time in before you movie, most of those have disappeared over the years. But now, MJR Southgate has brought the latest generation of a gaming space to the area, and it’s one that you’re going to want to check out.
RP1 Gaming Lounge is a separate space inside of MJR Southgate just behind the bar area. Inside there are gaming zones that you can rent with groups of up to 4 people where you can play the latest gaming systems or just hang out with friends. It allows you a semi-private space to relax, play and have a good time in rentable blocks of time. Each zone can be booked online just like if you’re getting your movie tickets or it can be done at the box office if you want to play games when you get there. But the best part, it’s not a free for all, the ticketed times will make sure you (or your kids) not only get to play the games and systems they want, but they don’t have to wait until it becomes available as long as it’s within their ticketed time block.
With bright lights, comfortable seating and a dedicated menu for the space the RP1 Gaming and Entertainment Lounge is the perfect place to hang out with friends before a film, or even book to host a birthday part for your kids. There’s a lot of great ideas and flexibility in the space, and it’s going to be a popular space this summer.
