Brisbane Gets Australia’s First Video Game Bar

 title=Like video games? Like drinking? Like pretending that blue cocktails restore vast amounts of MP? Then you should move to Brisbane to celebrate the opening of The Mana Bar next month, which is reportedly Australia’s first dedicated video games bar.

Located in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley and opening sometime in February, The Mana Bar is the creation of four Brisbane locals: Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg, Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw, Pras Moorthy, and Shay Leighton.

Entry to the bar will be completely free, as will playing the games. They’re also promising all the latest consoles and games, Guitar Hero tournaments and game release parties.

Sounds like the perfect location for a Brisbane-based Gizmodo reader meetup, wouldn’t you say?
