Welcome below the main floor
Three ways to get into it.
The Underground brings discovery, hands-on play, and community together in one space. Come to browse, listen, play, or connect with someone who gets your hobby.
The Play Zone
Spend time with retro consoles, vinyl records, and cassettes. Revisit a familiar favorite or try something new. Gaming and listening stations are shared on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Battle Station
Pull up to the table for Pokémon and other trading card games. Enjoy casual matches, sort your collection, and watch for announcements about organized play and events.
Your way in
Membership is free.
Standard membership includes access to the Vault, retro gaming and listening stations, and the trading card area. There is no fee to maintain your standard membership.

A little care goes a long way
Make yourself at home.
Take care of the space.
Check in & take turns
Sign in and out every time you enter or leave, including trips upstairs. When others are waiting, gaming and listening sessions have a standard 60-minute limit. Staff may extend your time when it’s quiet.
Respect the collection
Use clean hands, return items where they belong, and keep food and drinks away from equipment and open inventory. Ask before changing settings or connecting personal games. Report problems to staff.
Keep it welcoming
Be courteous, inclusive, and mindful of noise. Give other members a turn. Harassment, discrimination, aggressive behavior, theft, or damage can result in loss of membership.
Looking ahead
More to look forward to.
A Premium membership tier is planned for the future. Possible benefits include early inventory access, reserved gaming or listening time, and exclusive events. Benefits and pricing are still to be finalized; ask the shop for updates.
Before you visit

Can I buy things from the Vault?
Yes. Vault items are available to browse and purchase through the shop’s normal checkout. Please pay before removing an item and ask staff for help with fragile or high-value stock.
Can I bring my own games?
Ask staff to check compatibility before using a personal game with the Underground’s consoles. Please leave connections, settings, and troubleshooting to the team.
Can members trade cards with each other?
Private trades between members are permitted. The people making the trade are responsible for their agreement; the shop is not responsible for private member trades.
