Service Industry Night - Work Hard, Play Harder

Those who keep everyone else's nights out running get a night built for them at Industry Night at Bragging Rights. Hospitality workers from restaurants, bars, hotels, coffee shops, catering, and other guest service roles are welcomed with perks that make clocking out feel extra rewarding. With a beverage purchase, the usual $15 admission can be waived, opening the door to hundreds of games with unlimited play. Happy hour pricing offers 20% off Corona, Narragansett, and White Claw. There is also a $10 entry option, typically $15, that comes with a drink ticket redeemable for any beverage.

Pokémon Casual League

This casual Pokémon league at PunkOuter Games features relaxed play overseen by a Pokémon Professor who helps organize matches, answer rules questions, and judge card interactions as needed. Participation is free and open to all ages, welcoming both newcomers and seasoned players. Beginners are invited to take part, though the professor may not be able to provide uninterrupted one-on-one instruction, and separate learn-to-play sessions are listed on the calendar. If there is sufficient interest, a tournament may be launched for those seeking a competitive option. The venue offers a clean, comfortable gaming area with refreshments and a broad selection of products on the shelves, including single cards, roleplaying games, and miniatures.
