Quoted from anathematize:- First year is $45 to cover the background check and the keyfob. $20 per year after. ALL games at the club are 50 cents. The games on-location at the brewery are standard $1 for one / $2 for three and obviously don't require a membership to play.
- One of the owners is a full-time employee of the club and between him and his brother they maintain all of the machines (with a little outside help if its an extremely tricky fix).
- I really haven't seen any major issues. Occasionally a private party will have rented the space so the club will be closed for a few hours but its a minor inconvenience and the owners are good about communicating the rentals to members. Drinking at the club could be a potential issue but its never been a problem in my experience. I think some folks will step outside to their cars for a smoke or quick nip from a flask but nobody is getting belligerent and treating the machines poorly (again security cameras capture everything so if anything was broken it would be pretty easy to find the offender). Plus with machines at the local brewery now people have a space to have a few drinks and play games.
I do think it helps that the club location is a bit off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood with other businesses like a dental office, medical clinic, etc. Its a bit of a destination and you can't just stumble upon it like the previous location which was directly in the heart of downtown Fargo.
This is ridiculously awesome and I would signup in a second for that kind of access, if location was convenient.
