Dick Wolfsie steps back in time at 16-Bit Bar+Arcade - Part 3

WOLFSIE: BACK DOWNTOWN WITH MIKE CLARK. A BRAND NEW BAR CALLED 16 BITS...AND IT'S CALLED 16 BITS BECAUSE? CLARK: YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED 16 BIT BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF GOING BACK TO OUR OLD SCHOOL NAME FROM...THAT'S WHAT THE ARCHITECTURE OF ALL THE GAMES THAT ARE IN THE SPACE... WE'RE NAMED AFTER. WOLFSIE: OKAY SO AND AS WE SEE SOME OF THE GAMES THAT YOU HAVE HERE THIS MORNING...ARE THESE THE ACTUAL GAMES OR REPRODUCTIONS OF THE GAMES? CLARK: THESE ARE THE ACTUAL GAMES. WOLFSIE: ARE THEY REALLY? CLARK: YEAH. WE HAVE A DISTRIBUTION CENTER HERE IN COLUMBUS WHERE WE HAVE A WHOLE TEAM ON STAFF WHERE THEY CAN GO AND FIX IT UP IN CASE ANYTHING GOES WRONG AND THEY JUST SHIP IT BACK DOWN HERE. SO EACH LOCATION WE HAVE ABOUT 40 VINTAGE ARCADE GAMES. WOLFSIE: OKAY THE THEME IS THE 90S. CLARK: 80S AND 90S. WOLFSIE: 80S AND 90S. AND I SEE UP HERE YOU HAVE DRINKS NAMED AFTER CELEBRITIES FROM THAT TIME, RIGHT? CLARK: ABSOLUTELY. WOLFSIE: I WOULD LIKE TO TRY A DRINK. HAVE YOU GOT A BARTENDER HERE? CLARK: YEAH. WOLFSIE: WHICH ONE? CLARK: IT'S THE GUY IN THE BEARD. WOLFSIE: THE GUY IN THE BEARD. OH BOY&(LAUGHS) WHO'S THE BARTENDER? OH BOY. ALRIGHT I'M GONNA PICK TWO DRINKS AND YOU'VE GOT 45 SECONDS TO MAKE THEM. I'M GONNA HAVE THE HULK HOGAN AND THE LISA FRANK. GO BOYS! OKAY NOW THESE ARE SWEETER DRINKS, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE A HUGE SELECTION OF BEER, DON'T YOU? CLARK: 36 BEERS ON TAP. WOLFSIE: 36 BEERS ON TAP. ALRIGHT, AND WHO ARE THESE TWO GUYS? CLARK: THIS IS JACOB AND BEN. JACOB IS OUR NEW STORE OPENING MANAGER AND THEN THIS IS BEN WHO IS OUR I-T MANAGER AND WE ALL THREE WORK FOR RISE BRANDS, WHICH IS THE PARENT COMPANY. WOLFSIE: AND DID YOU DEVELOP THESE DRINKS? CLARK: YES. ABSOLUTELY, ALL OF THE DRINKS ON THE MENU ARE HANDCRAFTED COCKTAILS THAT OUR BARTENDING TEAM HAS REALLY WORKED ON AND EXPERIMENTED WITH AND THESE MADE THE FINAL CUT. WOLFSIE: VERY COOL. NOW I WANT TO MENTION...I THINK WE MENTIONED THIS EARLIER...THAT THE GAMES ARE FREE. CLARK: CORRECT. WOLFSIE: BUT SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO PUT IN A QUARTER. CLARK: RIGHT. WOLFSIE: AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS? CLARK: EXACTLY, SO IF YOU LIKE THE NOSTALGIA OF PUTTING IN A QUARTER LIKE YOU USED TO BACK IN THE ARCADE DAYS IN THE 80S AND 90S IT GOES BACK INTO THE GAME LIKE IT USED TO. HOWEVER WE DON'T REALLY MAKE ANY MONEY OFF OF IT. WE DO COLLECT IT EACH MONTH AND THEN EACH QUARTER WE DONATE IT BACK TO THE CHARITY OF OUR CHOICE. WOLFSIE: TERRIFIC. ALRIGHT, I'M READY TO TASTE A DRINK. LOOK AT THIS. OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT'S THIS? JACOB: THAT'S THE HULK HOGAN. IT HAS BLUEBERRY VODKA AND SOME NICE LEMONADE AND& WOLFSIE: SEE YOU WOULD DRINK THAT LIKE A LEMONADE& JACOB: AND EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE CLASSIC BOMB POP. WOLFSIE:...AND YOU WOULD BE DRUNK. AND THIS ONE IS? BEN: THAT'S LISA FRANK. PINEAPPLE RUM, MELON LIQUEUR AND VODKA. WOLFSIE: I'M TELLING YA. THAT'LL GO DOWN FASTER THAN A BEER. HEY, THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING THE DRINKS. BACK TO THE
