Bowling, Arcade Games, and Console Gaming
The Nerd combines bowling with arcade cabinets, console gaming, basketball games, fighting games, interactive tables, and other changing entertainment. Bowling is offered in reservable one-hour sessions. Guests bowl in their regular footwear rather than rented bowling shoes, and two lanes can form a private booth that may also support bottle service.
The active games, consoles, equipment, tournament formats, and availability can change. Bowling reservations, private booths, bottle service, events, and venue buyouts may affect access to individual activities.
The venue also operates a novelty mechanical ride on a published nighttime schedule. A signed waiver is required before riding. Ride times, purchases, event access, maintenance, and availability can change.
Cocktails, Beer, Bottle Service, and Nightlife
The bar serves themed cocktails, spirits, bottled and draft beer, and other beverages. Menus, ingredients, brands, and availability can change.
Bottle-service reservations may include a private booth and mixers under current booking terms. A bottle-service reservation should not be treated as automatic admission to a separately ticketed event or guaranteed access to every game or activity.
