Barcadia

Barcadia is a newer Kingston establishment that focuses on using video games to engage its clientele. They provide change machines and function as an all ages café until 9pm when the LLBO license kicks in and they are a 19 year old + establishment. Caution would be taken to make sure that the fact that this is an establishment where they serve alcohol is carefully addressed and monitered.

Barcadia has a HUGE following from gamers in the Kingston area and they are very welcoming and community oriented.

Hearing about how Barcadia works would be a great way to see how to apply a love of video games in an entrepreneurial endeavour. This would provide them with lots of opportunity to think about how to creatively use their interest and build it into a successful business endeavour.
