text: At one point in my life I was known for my Nintendo abilities particularly anything involving the name Mario even Dr Mario thanks And do not get me started on how bomb diggity I was at The Lion King You could only wish you had my skillznnWell the video game days are behind me now but I live vicariously through my husband I watch him play a few times a week and he graciously plays Lego games with me so I can feel like I am still in the gamer loop If gamers played Lego games that isnnWhen I first heard about Insert Coins I knew that I had to get my husband down there Beer AND video games He would love me forever So I was stoked when I had the chance to be at a Yelp event there this past summer The place was pretty amazing and we just finally got the opportunity to come back this past weeknnOk so I am confused on how to rate the place It is catering to the nerdy crowd and the owner is a Pac Man master But there are tables with bottle service like you would find at a club on the Strip There are tons of screens to play video games at the bar for free Mortal Combat and Vodka Cranberry anyone But the drink prices nearly rival the bars on the Strip Seven bucks for a Budweiser on a ThursdaynnCons Drink prices and appears to cater to a hipper cooler read not into video games clientele on the weekendsnnPros Friendly bartenders free video games lots of arcade games cool atmosphere and a mellow crowd during the weeknnIn the end I am going with stars Insert Coins has done a lot for downtown and I really appreciate that Plus they gave me a few free drinks at a Rugby Sevens event last week I think that helped make up for the Budweiser fiasconnIf you are a nerd like me hit the place up during the week If you are a cool kid then get there on the weekend
