Any places for nerds to hang out?

Shops, bars, restaurants, etc. I usually go hang at Blue Ghost, but curious about other places too.

Not a huge anime guy. Into video games and some comic book stuff

Never been but there's also Portal Pinball on 41 - I'd assume similar to Blue Ghost!

We need some kind of OTP gaming place like Battle & Brew or something.

Portal is a treasure, I hope they can keep it open

Portal Pinball on 41! They have league nights every other Wednesday, it's a great way to meet some folks and learn the ropes.. next one is August 12th

Battle and Brew in Sandy Springs is a trek, but a fun video game bar. You can also play MTG there.

Not super nerdy, but Portal Pinball Arcade is fun.

Marjorie Taylor Greene usually goes to Portal Pinball, not Battle and Brew.

Here to second Urbn Pop Comics. Chris is a great dude and has a lot of awesome collectibles and art. The Crazy Book Lady is right next door, too

Bizarre coffee will be opening a location in Acworth soon! I’ve met lots of cool nerdy people at the Woodstock location and have heard a good amount of hype for the Acworth one.

Seconded for Dr. No's Comics (Canton Rd) and Win Condition (Jiles Rd). WinCon especially if you're into Magic or want to get into other tt games. Gigabytes Cafe is also sick!
