On Saturday 25 January 2025 my wife Arianna and I visited this local gaming pub upon recommendation of her workmates. It was a wonderful first experience with food, drink, and total hangout-ability.

I went home that evening, jumped on the website, and became a member. I was immediately hooked, and hey, 10% off food and sodas will entice any Scotsman.

It's a family run business and you can tell. Additional staff used to be customers, which adds to the homely feeling of the place.

I have been back weekly for a meal hangout and to chat with whoever is around. Arianna went back together on Sunday evening for her to meet-up with a local D&D group. She is learning that game and community.

As an added bonus, this pub is everyone friendly. I may be a Christian but I will be the first to defend everyone's right to hangout together and be who they are. I am a total geek. Check me out with the Spider-man baseball top in cahoots with Doctor Doom. #SpiderMan #DoctorDoom

We may be geeks, but some of us have an interest in sports, aka sportsball.

I grew up in Scotland supporting Glasgow Rangers. When I was 15 I started writing to a pen-pal in San Francisco the same time as Channel 4 showed "American Football".

So, for me it's surreal to see the potential merging of these two great times, financially at least.
