Let’s party! After years of planning and months of work, Ground Kontrol is finally ready to unveil Ground Kontrol 3.0 – the best arcade & lounge you’ve ever seen.
Many upgrades await you, including a new food menu, new games, new tables & seating, new bathrooms and a sleek new look inspired by vintage video game art and the TRON film series.
What better way to experience the new GK than free play? Our regular Third Thursday free play party will be extra fun this month thanks to a special cover – entry to Ground Kontrol 3.0′s launch party will only cost 3.0 dollars!
Thanks to all of our loyal customers and fans for supporting us through the extremely difficult process of closing our doors at 511 NW Couch St. for nearly 3 months and moving our arcade twice* to accommodate the work needed to make Ground Kontrol 3.0 a reality. Thanks especially to those of you that supported Ground Kontrol in 2010′s “Save The Arcades” contest sponsored by Stride!
But enough talk… Seriously, let’s party! We’ll see you Thursday the 17th! Doors open at 5pm, and remember your I.D. – this is a 21+ event.
*OK, technically we had to move our games and equipment three times. Our backs won’t let us forget that!
WHAT: Ground Kontrol 3.0 Grand Re-Opening Party
WHEN: Thursday, February 17th, 2011. Doors at 5pm.
WHERE: Ground Kontrol “3.0″, 511 NW Couch St.
OTHER INFO: $3 cover. 21+ only – please bring valid I.D. No large bags or backpacks, please!
