The Itinerary

6:30 PM - The Polished Start

Meet at **Ghost Ranch**. It's modern and warm. Order the Queso Fundido. It's messy, but it breaks the ice.

7:45 PM - The Pivot

Drive 10 minutes north to **Yucca Tap Room**. It's a dive bar. Park in the lot and trust the route.

8:00 PM - The Descent

Walk through the main bar to the back room. **Electric Bat** is hidden there. It's dark, loud, and full of vintage machines.
04

8:15 PM - The Competition

Convert $10 to tokens. Play co-op or competitive. The loser buys the next round at the arcade bar.

Pivots & Backups

The Logistics

  • Parking: Ghost Ranch has a lot. Yucca fills up on show nights; use the side streets if needed.
  • Tokens: Cash only for the machine. There is an ATM inside.
  • Drinks: The arcade has its own bar. You don't have to fight the concert crowd.

"Dinner is nice, but keep your quarters handy. We're ending the night in a dungeon."
