Aficionats a les màquines recreatives es troben a les Cotxeres de Sants a l’Arcade Levels

Els assistents han pogut jugar als videojocs més clàssics, com el pacman o l'space invaders, però també a les màquines més innovadores importades del japó.

Les Cotxeres de Sants acullen durant aquest cap de setmana l’ Arcade Levels , un esdeveniment que agrupa desenes de màquines recreatives i espais de videojocs perquè tots aquells que vulguin puguin jugar-hi durant unes hores.

Més de 1.500 persones han assistit a aquest esdeveniment dissabte, en què han pogut jugar als videojocs més clàssics, com el Pacman o l’ Space Invaders , però també a les màquines més innovadores importades del Japó.

Fer arribar l’afició tant a nostàlgics com als més petits

Segons Álvaro Chicote, un dels socis fundadors d’Arcade Levels, l’objectiu principal d’aquest esdeveniment és “acostar l’afició el món de les màquines recreatives i els videojocs als nostàlgics, però també acostar-ho als més petits, els qui no han viscut aquesta època, perquè puguin aprendre sobre la història dels videojocs”.

Alguns aficionats han assistit a l’esdeveniment acompanyats de familiars . És el cas de José Martínez, que ha volgut portar el seu fillastre per poder ensenyar-li la seva afició. Assegura que “aquesta és una bona iniciativa perquè els més petits puguin conèixer la història dels videojocs”.

Una iniciativa nascuda a Saragossa

Arcade Levels és una iniciativa que va néixer a Saragossa a través de l’impuls de tres aficionats del món recreatiu . “Hi ha molta nostàlgia. A partir dels 2000 el món de les màquines recreatives va començar a decaure quan la gent va poder jugar a videojocs des de casa. Nosaltres vam decidir posar-nos les piles i començar a viatjar arreu del món, per col·leccionar màquines recreatives”, expliquen els fundadors.

Els creadors van crear un saló recreatiu a Saragossa, amb més de 180 espais de videojocs que es van actualitzant. Actualment, creuen que és una bona idea portar la iniciativa arreu de l’estat. Han decidit que Barcelona sigui la primera ciutat d’aquest Arcade Levels Tour, ja que pensen que “sempre ha tingut molta iniciativa en el món de les màquines recreatives”.

Demà diumenge és l’últim dia per poder assistir a l’esdeveniment aquí a Barcelona abans que se’n torni a anar. Així i tot, els fundadors asseguren que la pròxima ciutat on s’instal·laran serà Madrid.

Game Bars in Barcelona (Online Gaming & Board Games)

Recommendations for afternoons and evenings out in Barcelona tend to revolve around food, drinks, and clubs.

Built around both online gaming and board games, game bars in Barcelona have risen in prominence over the years, and now represent some of the most enjoyable spots in town. It’s difficult to put together an exhaustive list of locations in this category because not all bars advertise whether or not they may have a few board games available.

The Barcelona nightlife is the stuff of legend; the drink and tapas bars are high on many travelers’ lists, and many set out on food and wine tours so as to enjoy as much of the culinary and drink scene as possible in a limited time. Alongside the traditional food, drink, and clubs, however, gaming bars and cafés also make for fun afternoons and evenings out in the city.

Additionally (and sadly), some gaming bars appear to have shut down permanently, possibly due to COVID-19. With that said though, the places we’ll list below undoubtedly represent some of the best online and board gaming bars in the city.

Game Bars in Barcelona

Branded as an “eSports Gamer Bar,” Afterlife makes no secret of the fact that it’s meant as a social gathering spot for lovers of competitive online games.

What it’s not, however, is any sort of eSports arena, as some might picture. Rather, it’s an atmospheric venue combining inventive cocktails, a decadent menu full of comfort food, beer, and an open invitation for gamers to set up on the in-house WiFi.

You may well visit this bar and simply see people enjoying the food and drink and chatting with friends. On the other hand, you may also see them with laptops out and competitive gaming fired up.

For anyone seeking more of a full-fledged eSports venue, Meltdown tends to embody that vibe a little bit more. It’s still a conventional bar as well, and you can certainly go if you’re not involved in or curious about eSports.

It’s a fun, energetic place with a strong reputation for its cocktails. But the gaming setup at Meltdown is a little more of a permanent fixture than at Afterlife, and the atmosphere feels a little bit more like an online gaming den.

Checkpoint Gaming Lounge

Checkpoint is less of an eSports or online gaming center, and more of an old-school gaming lounge.

There’s a small but tasty menu of comfort food (mostly burgers and sandwiches and the like), an appealing beer list, and a selection of well-made cocktails.

But it’s the video game component that supplies most of the fun (and charm). It’s a mixture of consoles, arcade machines, and chalkboards for posting tournament brackets, high scores and the like make for a friendly and almost nostalgic gaming house.

Granted, the atmosphere is somewhat lacking (it’s almost like someone converted a small office space into a bar with a minimal budget), but good times are had by all.

Bingo Laietana

Bingo Laietana is an interesting sort of alternative game lounge in that it’s actually holding onto a form of in-person gaming that’s slowly disappearing around Europe.

Bingo has largely migrated to the internet, where a number of prominent casino platforms offer compelling digital takes on the experience.

In fact, it is even evolving into new forms for online players, most notably through the “Slingo” arcades Foxy Bingo has helped raise to the forefront of online gaming.

These types of bingo arcades simply give players more convenient and often more dynamic ways of enjoying bingo, whereas in-person bingo halls tend to come across as somewhat dull or outdated.

At Bingo Laietana though, players can have a drink together in a somewhat more modern setting, while enjoying live bingo or a handful of video casino games.

It’s not the most unique Barcelona gaming bar, but it’s fun for a certain type of gamer.

Brewdog Barcelona

As of this writing, Brewdog Barcelona is (like so many venues) temporarily shut down. As of now though, we expect it to reopen its doors.

When it does so, it will give visitors to Barcelona access to arguably the best board gaming bar in the city once more. Brewdog is primarily a bar and brewery selling its own, in-house beers in a comfortable, open space made for easy gatherings.

However, the bar also has a selection of board games available to customers. It’s actually something of a rare treat. So many bars with board games around the world are essentially smaller cafés or game-first centers that happen to sell a few beers.

Here though we have a perfectly ordinary (and very nice) bar and brewery that still embraces board gameplay.

Bar Queimada Nivell Q

At Bar Queimada Nivell Q we have the sort of board game café discussed above — where the games (dozens and dozens of them) are the main focus, and the atmosphere and drink menu come next.

It’s not a beautiful place, nor is it one fit for a huge crowd or a casual drink for someone not interested in gaming. But for those who are eager to go out with friends and play games for a few hours over a few bottled beers, it’s just about a perfect option.

There may not be a bar in Barcelona that prioritizes board games quite to this extent.

This list should give you a sense of the gaming bars in town, whether you’re in it for eSports, arcades, bingo, or board games.

Bautista Agut earns 399th tour-level win at Barcelona Open

• Copy Link copied

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Roberto Bautista Agut earned his 399th tour-level victory by defeating Roman Safiullin 6-3, 7-6 (8) in the first round of the Barcelona Open on Monday.

Bautista Agut, a former No. 9 in the world, saved a set point in the tiebreaker before triumphing after nearly two hours on the Rafa Nadal center court.

Bautista Agut, who turned 36 on Sunday, will have his first opportunity to reach the milestone 400th win against seventh-seeded Karen Khachanov on Tuesday.

Bautista Agut is trying to win his 12th ATP Tour title.

Rafael Nadal, a 12-time champion in Barcelona, will face Flavio Cobolli in his opening match on Tuesday following another injury layoff.

Qualifier Nick Hardt became the first Dominican to win an ATP match in six years after defeating Martin Landaluce 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

“It was a crazy day, obviously a very special day,” Hardt said. “I feel at home here in Barcelona. Two weeks ago, I won my first Challenger here, this week I qualified for my first ATP 500 and I just won my first Tour match in the main draw.”

American Brandon Nakashima defeated 2023 semifinalist Daniel Evans 7-6 (5), 6-2 to set up a meeting with second-seeded Andrey Rublev.
