People would just come play the games for free and sit on one beer all night. You would be better off without the games.

nah, just get the bouncer to wander over, "excuse me sir, but I'll have to ask to you leave, you haven't had enough to drink'.

I met a girl once online before it was the norm. On good ol' mIRC. I was ashamed to tell anyone back then because back then you were a loser if you met someone online. I'm still friends with that girl to this day and only one or two people know how we met.

Haha. The good ol days of lurking around in a mIRC chat room. ASL?

It's a good idea Jmac. But maybe try to cater for the masses more and not make it quite so boutique y (which it already is), by bringing in your personal choice in games, music and beer. At the end of the day it's gotta be about a business that makes you money.. not just one that reflects your personality... commercial compromise.... the inability to make it will nearly ALWAYS result in commercial failure.
From my point of view you, had me sold at the free retro arcade games, but then I also started to think that you are missing something if you haven't got a bit of multiplayer Doom, Warcraft etc thrown in as well. You also don't want to just play 80's 90's music. Not everyone's musical taste is sealed in stone by the time they're 35. Just play GOOD music.. appropriate music.. work out what it is. You will also need to provide toasted cheese sandwiches.

This idea just sounds like my house. Maybe I should just open my doors to the public...

Hell I think you just described my foster dad's man cave. He has whisky instead of beer and he also has air hockey. In fact maybe call it the man cave.
 
Ok I'll come and play Bubble Bobble but if I don't hear Debbie Gibson's "Electric Youth" in the first half hour I'm walking out, I don't care how few letters I need to make "EXTEND".
 
My whole house has turned into a man cave haha.
-Games room:
-Arcade machine
-80cm RGB Tube TV with SNES, n64, MegaDrive
-Racing Sim (mostly for Daytona on ps3, but also new Need For Speed, etc)
-2 Electric guitars
-PC for new gaming (and Rocksmith **tilts air guitar like I'm doing a solo** )
​
-Theatre room:
-Projector
-5.1 Sound setup
-PS4
-Wii U
-PC for movies
​
-Back room:
-Gym/weights room
-Storage
​

I know a guy who still has a working Commodore 64 and Amiga 500. Not to mention thousands of games.
