Anyway, this week I decided to take Chris out to a Gelato bar in Southampton that my friend had told me about. Apparently the food was great, and it had one even bigger selling point, retro gaming stations at the tables! Whaaaat!?
It was a tough decision which table to sit at, as each one had a different make of console. Luckily it wasn't busy at all, so we managed to have a go on each of them by swapping tables every time we fancied a new one.
I chose a rasberry sorbet smoothie and a lemon and sugar crepe, while chris had a mountain of chocolate ice cream and a coffee. Yummy!
We played Crash Team Racing, Mario Cart, and my favourite, since the Sega Megadrive was my weapon of choice as a youngster, Sonic and Tails! I'd never played it 2 player before though, so that was a treat!
Here I am probably loosing miserably at Mario Cart. I did come 7th once though, so not all bad!
Afterwards we went to see Dawn of The Planet of The Apes, which I think was pretty darn good. Especially the apes, they are amazing, it's crazy how far technology has come to be able to make a film like this!
Weirdly Tooti's don't seem to advertise that they have games on their website, so it is a bit of a hidden gem! If you're near the Southampton area any time soon I'd definitely suggest popping in.
Are there any hidden gems near you that you know about?

This sounds like such an awesome find! There's a cafe in Brighton my friend took me too recently which has been decorated in the weirdest way I've ever seen- it's got Lego Star Wars ships hanging from the ceiling, and the walls are papered with printouts from passiveaggressivenotes.com xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's such a fun idea for a café! I used to love Mario Kart as a child, it was so much fun haha! :) xx
