You may remember me telling you about a TV show named “GameDamage” that was trying to get picked up. Well, two of the men from that show (Yug and Yahtzee) have also joined forces to bring us Aussies another excuse to drink and game at the same time – a brand new bar!

The “Mana Bar” is owned by Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg, Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw, Pras Moorthy and Shay Leighton. Geeks will flock to this place in droves with the multiple LCD screens and next-gen consoles available to play. They will be catering for those who are casual gamers, as well as those who are hardcore.

To enter the venue is free, and you don’t have pay to play the games either. The bar can host up to 50 people and plans to hold many events such as game release parties, Guitar Hero tournaments, trivia nights, launch events, and more.

For the latest info, visit the bar’s website. And if you’re in Brisbane, you’ll find the “Mana Bar” at 420 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley.

I’ve met Yug (at eGames 2009), and if the events that he and his team at AustralianGamer.com are anything to go by, the bar is sure to be a hit! Good luck fellas – I hope to drop in some time!
