I got banned for "trolling" once when I posted the menu and made fun of a video game themed bar in my city that shut down a couple years ago. Apparently one of the mods on this site lives in Vancouver and really liked the EXP Restaurant.
It was either the karaoke nights or the "Fortnite Burger" that lead to their landlords giving them the boot.

DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!

The only "game" there was an N64 up front where you could play Mario Kart while waiting to be seated. Apart from that, it just had a bunch of posters and paraphernalia up on the walls, and the TVs showed people playing esports or twitch streamers.

I know quite a bit about the liquor laws in the area. Whats actually even funnier is that with their liquor license they couldn't legally just have "bar", they need "restaurant and bar". Since they can't promote only liquor sales with the name, you'd think they would have gave up on that shitty little pun and came up with something else at that point. But no, they thought it was so clever that it had to be the name by any means necessary

Show's great, would heartily recommend if you like metal in any capacity. There's even a couple jokes you'll only get because you're a scandi (the Jungfru brothers for example), but the movie was meh. Find the uncensored versions.

Tons of little background metalband namedrops too (Burzum, Fintroll, etc.), but oddly enough Metallica isn't one of them. Probably because Hetfield was involved in making it.

Drinks at least have more creativity and to some extent earn their name.

Chicken Nintendies are just chicken tenders. Nothing makes them "nintendies" other than the restaurant/bar being video game "themed." The burgers are just burgers. Nothing really makes them a "Wario Burger" or a 1-Up Burger. I mean shit, the 1-Up Burger should be a Portabello Mushroom. It fits with the 1-Up Mushroom imagery and even works because it's a "healthier" alternative.

I'm from the rural midwest and while a lot of people would go fishing and shit sometimes, most of their free time was spent watching shitty tv, drinking, or doing meth/heroin. People forget how absolute trash rural areas can be.
