We're super excited today to share a bit more info about our opening. BB&B will be located at Charkovska 18, in the Vrsovice district of Prague. If you're familiar with the area, you know that Vrsovice is an up and coming neighbourhood, fast becoming the hipster-mecca of the city. We'll be a stone's throw away from the Kino Pilot Art House Cinema, Jam & Co, restaurant Plavel, the Bad Flash beer bar, Sladkovsky's (home of one of our favourite prague burgers) and a host of new pubs, bars, and restaurants opening nearby.
The space we're moving into is the current home of Kralik v Radiu, which will be moving out at the end of this month. It's a historic building located directly between the Krymska and Ruska tram stops, located right on the corner. It currently has 2 main rooms and a small kitchen. Here are a few shots of the location right now:
So, not exactly a nightlife hot-spot yet, is it? So this is where the work begins. We've already been hard at work conveying our vision to the architects to create a true gaming HQ in the heart of Prague. So, how's it going to look when we're all done? Drumroll please......
Some highlights/notes:
1. Kitchen area will allow us to serve a variety of snacks, drinks, and some simple sandwich plates. Our plan at the moment includes roast beef sandwiches, paninis, bagel plates, and veggie and hummus platters.
2. The lighting shown here is much simpler than what we envision. There will be much more ambient lighting (using bare LEDs) along with the spots for each table.
3. Bench seating along the right-side wall allows tables to squeeze in a few extra players.
4. Near the front door, we've got a comfy couch seating area for more intimate gaming.
5. Long tables located in the 2nd room accommodate larger groups and social games.
6. Overall simple color scheme and materials -highlighting the games rather than the decor.
7. We should be able to accommodate about 60 -80 people, probably more on busy nights with some creative table gymnastics.
8. Most importantly, game shelving located at the back and side walls (flanking the bar). Unfortunately, I don't believe we'll be able to fit the entire collection (of about 500 games). However this just means we'll only have the BEST games on display.
That's about it. We're currently finalising the plans and getting the relevant permissions for construction. Needless to say, we're getting pretty excited to get the keys in our hands and get to work bringing all of this to life. In the meantime, be sure to come to one of our pop-up game nights throughout Prague to get your gaming fix and let me know if you have any questions.
