Hey guys!
I've mentioned before that I had to check another arcade here in SF to see if it would make a good spot to hold gatherings and perhaps tournaments.
Brewcade is an arcade/bar in the City. It's located in the Castro on Market street. They have old arcade games there like SVC Chaos and Marvel vs. Street Fighter. The games there are old and the selection of games there left something to be desired. I'd say there may be around 20+ games and are 50 cents to play. The rest of the place looks very modern and well kept. There's a bar there with a variety of beer on tap. The whole place looks very nice with the arcades looking almost a little out of place. There's quite a bit of space there to fit about 50 people there (it would get packed with more). There's a big flat screen on one of the walls there in one of the sections there.
You can set reservations at Brewcade. Here are the rules ( this and other info is available at there website at brewcadesf.com, and pics of the place is on their Yelp):
-guests have to be 21 years of age.
-20 person minimum to reserve. Must be timely - there's a quarter hour grace period.
-the reservation is confirmed once contracted by Brewcade, about a business day.
-outside food is welcome unless it involves catering - special arrangements must be made with Brewcade.
-private events requiring the whole venue are also available - 50 person minimum
The times are 3:00pm - 2am on weekdays and 2:00pm - 2am on weekends.
Now the bad news is it's another 21 and over spot since they serve alcohol there, so those younger than 21 won't be allowed ( I know Mfkaoz has reservation about venues only accepting 21 and over.)
The good news is there seems to be more leeway to what can happen there, such as what games are played and if we can stream it or not. One thing that could become an issue with Folsom Street Foundry is they seem to control what gets played there or not and what is streamed. I didn't get the impression we can stream what we want there and we had to go through their streamer to get games on Twitch. However, I'm not sure if they have Internet. I can check on that if you guys think this can be a possibility.
There's a Muni stop not too far away that can take you to Bart. I'm not sure how long the stop operates.
Brewcade contact info is:

I don't know if money has to be put down for reservations or anything else like that so if you have questions or you guys want to inquire further there's there contact info or I'll find out.
I can post some pics I took of the place here once I figure out how to post pictures on TYM lol! But you can find pics on their Yelp.
If you have any questions post them here on this thread.
