Downtown Portland arcade/bar Ground Kontrol has sadly been closed for renovations for the past three months. But fear not, game lovers. Ground Kontrol reopens this week with more games, a new look, and soon...a full bar with liquor service.

From press release:
Ground Kontrol 3.0 Grand Re-Opening Party
Thursday, February 17
5 p.m. | $3 | 21+
511 NW Couch St.
www.groundkontrol.com

Let's party! After years of planning and months of work, Ground Kontrol is finally ready to unveil Ground Kontrol 3.0 — the best arcade & lounge you've ever seen.

What better way to experience the new GK than free play? Our regular Third Thursday free play party will be extra fun this month thanks to a special cover — entry to Ground Kontrol 3.0′s launch party will only cost 3.0 dollars!

Thanks to all of our loyal customers and fans for supporting us through the extremely difficult process of closing our doors at 511 NW Couch St. for nearly 3 months and moving our arcade twice* to accommodate the work needed to make Ground Kontrol 3.0 a reality.

*OK, technically we had to move our games and equipment three times. Our backs won't let us forget that!
