Competitive socializing venue on steroids opening

As discussed earlier in this eNewsletter, adult competitive socializing (www.whitehutchinson.com/ news/ lenews/ 2022/ march/ article102.shtml) venues are a fast-growing category of location-based entertainment, perhaps more accurately described as social eatertainment. They combine different forms of social games with high-quality food and drink available where the games are played. A new competitive socializing venue, Your 3rd Spot, has opened in Atlanta. It aims to be peoples' go-to third spot away from homes and offices. The venue includes bowling, curling, air hockey, darts, ping pong, shuffleboard, billiards, Cards Against Humanity, and table and lawn games. The 27,000-square-foot venue will include a restaurant, bar, beer garden, mezzanine, and patio.


Your 3rd Spot floor plan

The restaurant will primarily serve small plates like cucumber sushi, bacon-wrapped dates, waffle fry poutine, sweet corn fritters, fried Manchego cheese, and Brazilian cheese bread (see menu (your3rdspot.com/ small-plates) ). Drinks and desserts will be on-trend, with selections such as iced cube matcha lattes and warm mochi donuts (see drink selections (your3rdspot.com/ cocktails) ). There won't be any dedicated dining rooms. Instead, dishes will be served directly to guests wherever they are in the facility. And, of course, there will be a wide selection of beer, wine, build-your-own cocktails, and creative spirit-free drinks.

Co-founder Joshua Rossmeisl said, "We look for games people play while holding a beer, games that bring people together. We have analog experiences-nothing high-tech here. People are staring at computer screens all week and want to unplug."
