Tech Lounge

Imagine a place where someone can go to sit down and play almost any video game and at the same time drinking coffee. It would be a great place to go and this coffee shop/ tech building is real. It is located downtown and it’s called the Tech Lounge.
At the Tech Lounge for just $3, someone can play any video game in stock (except virtual reality) for one hour. For $20 customers can play there the whole time they’re open. If wanted they can also play VR for one hour if they pay $5. To top it all off, on Google Reviews it has 4.9 out of five stars.
“I was born and raised in Stevens Point, there wasn’t any outlet, so a tech lounge coffee shop would make it a fun place, and the focus was always gaming,” Chad Fisher, the owner of the Tech Lounge said.
“I think it’s a great place to relax and play some games on counsels you may not own,” SPASH student Cecelia Kedrowski said. People go to the Tech Lounge to relax and get away from stressful times. The Tech Lounge is very casual in its gaming, people can play competitively, but they don’t have a competitive team.
“The Tech Lounge opened 10 years ago,” Fisher said. Before the Tech Lounge, there wasn’t much to do in Stevens Point. The biggest thing was a bowling alley and some arcades that eventually closed.
“I was going to go to graduate school, but had some money set aside, so why not?” Fisher said. Now the Tech Lounge is a small place downtown people love.
Is this establishment for everyone? That is a big “yes”. The Tech Lounge has over 50 games for any type of gamer. The games range from Online Shooters, Role Playing Games, couch gaming, sports, and more. It’s the place for people to go to and play games with or without friends or family.
From of all kinds of games to good drinks, this is where to take a family or group of friends to hang out. Their prices for the time and food are very fair, so head on down to the Tech Lounge.

Interesting!! I haven’t been to a gaming space before. I play 5v5 (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)MOBA and I would like to play that with friends in a game space. Thanks, Aiden, I’m sure I will look into Tech lounge one day. Great article!!

Whenever my cousin is in town we go to the Tech Lounge. It is a nice place where I can play games that I normally can’t.

I have been to the Tech Lounge a couple of times and it is a very nice place to go. They are not too expensive and they have a cute little area to buy snacks and drinks. I really enjoyed the comments from other in the article about the Tech Lounge. This was very well written.

The Tech Lounge sounds like a fun place to just relax and meet new people. It also sounds very affordable for anyone who wants to play a game, but doesn’t have that game or counsel at home.

Tech Lounge sounds like a really cool place to visit. I’ve never heard of it before and I didn’t know that we have something this cool in town. Might take my brothers there someday and play games with them.

Sounds like a great place for those who like technology to go to. I have never heard of the Tech Lounge before, but sounds like a great place to go and enjoy games.

I remember hearing a lot about this place when it first opened. It seems like a great place to go if you like all types of games. I’m glad it has 4.9 stars! Great job Aiden!
