Computer viking posted:I've been duck bowling at the same pub with two different groups from work, Oslo is in the middle of a small wave of ... let's call it bars with activities. There's a place with arcade machines and slot racing not far from me, a selection of duckpin bowling and the like, and my personal favourite is the indoor minigolf with beer place, made up to look like a family campground ca 1997. Hell yeah slot racing!!!!! Are they 20 scale or smaller? I would 1000% spend some time with friends racing heats sounds like so much fun Ruby Gloom posted:yeah glasgow is getting super into this kind of thing at the moment too, axe throwing bars as well I am curious about the axe throwing thing, we considered it a few times for "team building" but liquor and melee combat sounds like an accident waiting to happen Re: mini golf - freaking protip right here

Indoor go kart places can be incredible if you find a big modern one. Those cars can be powerful.

the obvious answer is Beer - but make it sexy (this was genuinely A Thing in Scotland in the 70s/80s)

I’ve been axe throwing a few times and it’s …ok… I guess? It’s fun for like a round or two  . One place I went to was better because it was in a big commercial building and they had a deal with the brewery next door for discounted pints. Also the brewery was a big space with arcade games and stuff so you could go there when it wasn’t your turn to throw.

Ilbsm if you’re in the Fairfield area and feel like making a mild detour, NewSylum Brewing in Newtown is pretty good.

The bowling alley in my town has champagne on the drink menu. And it's not some extra-fancy bowling either.

I'm a blessed boy. I was talking to my friend in PA about this and Pittsburgh is the same as you guys, except the do have some good breweries...... out in the suburbs. Michigan just has good beer everywhere and even your crusty local bar and grills have at least 2-3 decent craft beers on tap. I really do think it's a culture thing though, Michigan is very very into beer (and alcohol in general) so there's a massive audience for this stuff

Ruby Gloom posted:although the bowling/go kart place near me turned the restaurant next door into a mini golf place and seem to have gone "we got these booths and moving them seems like effort... should that uhh.. should that be part of the course?" honestly though the idea of a mini golf course just shoved into a bar is kinda awesome. I love the idea of the gimmick of the course being that it's just put into an otherwise normal business, thats fun

Portland used to have a great beer scene but I think the influx of tech people made it disappear up it's own rear end with a couple of exceptions.

We got like half an inch of snow, and it is now minus 8 freedom degrees at 10 in the morning That's ok cause I don't really plan on leaving the house today, except that I need to do laundry and I have to take about five steps outside to the basement door to get to the laundry machines

I spent $12.50 on 40 cans of "energy seltzer" at the dollar store. Each can costs $0.31 and has 125 MG of caffeine. This is the best caffeine per dollar deal that I have found so far. It's such a good deal i almost want to go back and get 40 more but that might be overkill
