OXCGN is always trying to get around to as many gaming related events as possible, to keep the community informed of various activities. Well one of our team, Betho, dropped in to the opening of one of the first Gaming Bars in Australia on Saturday night.

Come see what a good gaming bar should look like, and how a team of enthusiastic gamers turned a empty room into a gaming heaven.

If there is a heaven, and I’m not saying there isn’t, I think that it most certainly would have video games lining the walls in a bright and fantastic fashion.

Friendly and fun people would definitely be a requirement of this great beyond- no fools or rude people ruining all your fun, not to mention perhaps some fun cocktails to share with your new heaven-buddies.

Well, maybe heaven might or might not be like that, but the Mana Bar certainly is. It just opened last Saturday to the great appreciation of Brisbane’s gaming community.

Operating out of Fortitude Valley, which nestles in the heart of the Brisbane clubbing district, the Mana Bar is run by a variable smorgasbord of talent with the whole concept of the ‘Gamer Bar’ being blamed on the AustralianGamer co-owner turned bar owner, Yug, who on the night was found to be handing out prizes along the line to the waiting horde of adoring nerds (yes, I was in said line of adoring game nerds).
