Glasgow’s first arcade bar, Super Bario will open in March at 7 King Street, following a successful crowd funding project via the website Kickstarter.com. A total of 166 backers pledged £6,249 to bring idea to life. And now owners Shaun Murawski , Scott McLachlan and George Black will realise their dream of customers playing a variety of classic arcade and pinball games including Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat on fully restored gaming systems, while enjoying a selection of locally sourced and international beers. The funding period lasted 31 days and by January 7th the owners reached their goal of £5K. The money helped fund the construction of a bar and a full refurbishment with decoration by local artists. The games will be played in full sized cabinets which have been restored from the 80’s and 90’s. Backers who pledged £25 or more will have their names displayed on plaques and those who pledged £1K will receive a ‘JAMMA’ arcade machine.
