Arcade Energy Meets Elevated Spirits
For those who stay long after the last out, Coin-Op isn’t just for game days. The Gaslamp bar recently refreshed its cocktail and non-alcoholic menu with new globally inspired ingredients. Think south-of-the-border spice meets Japanese citrus, with a splash of cinema references and 8-bit nostalgia.
