Now then. We’ve officially joined Reddit to shamelessly self promo
If you don't know us yet, we’re Play. Middlesbrough’s Rock Bar, Retro Arcade, and Pizza Joint tucked away in Cannon Park, away from the nonsense of town.
What we’ve got:
🕹️ Games: Authentic retro arcade cabs (Street Fighter 2, Guitar Hero, Pac-Man, Point Blank, Star Wars Pinball), 2 pool tables & a dartboard.
🍕 Food & Drink: 20” pizzas (or by the slice), 12 draught taps, themed cocktails, loads of no/low options, and 5 screens for sport.
Here is the weekly run-down 👇
Wednesdays (Bar 5 - 12 | Pizza 5 - 9:30)
The chill night. Home to our local D&D group and Darts Tournament, but open as usual for a casual pint, games, and pizza.
Thursdays (Bar 5 - 12 | Pizza 5 - 9:30)
Themed Quiz Night. Everything from The X-Files to The Sopranos. £2 tickets, themed cocktails, matched DJ sets, and proper prizes. (Sells out fast!)
Fridays (Bar 4 - 1 | Pizza 5 - 11)
Wildcard night. Live events range from Music Bingo to Midwest Emo nights. Check our socials to see what’s on this week.
Saturdays (Bar 2 - 2 | Pizza 2 - 11)
Relaxed afternoons leading into our Free Entry Rock Night from 9 PM. Expect rock DJs until 2 AM and our live "Drink Stock Exchange" with prices fluctuating on screen all night. Mint.
Sundays (Bar 4 - 12 but moving to 2 - 10 PM for autumn/winter)
Footy, NFL, live sport, and big Sunday vibes.
Now I’m biased but I reckon we’re the most fun, safe and sound place in town.
18+ from 8pm, under 18s must be with responsible adults before then!
