A sports restaurant-bar for sportspeople playing video games!

A sports restaurant-bar for sportspeople playing video games!

Watching the most important hockey game of the season at the restaurant on a giant screen is a concept that has been around for a long time. Moreover, this is an idea that seems to want to adapt to the success of electronic sport and a challenge that the owners of the LvlOp restaurant in Quebec are now trying to meet: attracting fans of electronic sport in their restaurant .

It is now possible to have a drink and enjoy a meal while watching competitions taking place all over the world on a giant screen. Most importantly, you can play your favorite video games since there are a few consoles on site.

The restaurant has almost 200 seats and serves burgers, pasta and grills. “Geek” cocktails will also be offered. Strategically located in the St-Roch district, which hosts several tech and video game agencies, it will also be possible to eat there for lunch.

It is a first restaurant offering this kind of concept to Quebec customers while this type of establishment is very popular in Europe and Asia. Four young businessmen, whose average age is around 25, video game enthusiasts, worked for almost a year to develop this project.

Every sports fan will now be satisfied. The first will be at the Cage to follow the hockey game and we will find the second at LvlOp watching the final of League of Legends!
