Short Summary

Games and Brews’ mission statement is “We strive to create an enjoyable area for public gaming use. Where adults can enjoy locally sourced food and drink and play video, board and tabletop roleplaying games in an accepting environment.” It will provide a limited menu of food, beer, wine and mead along with games to reserve and play within the establishment. There will be revolving monthly nerd-themes and specials to order!

 Games and Brews will also provide tables and space to reserve so customers can bring their own games to play. With my AA in Business Administration and working on my BA in Business Administration, coupled with my experience and knowledge from my father (a chef for 25+ years) I plan on making this dream a reality.


With your help, I will be able to afford the down-payment for the small business loan that is needed to open the doors to the pub and get business flowing!

What We Need & What You Get

The target goal for opening is $215,000 for the first month, and $460,000 for the first year. To get that, I need a down-payment of 20% to get the amount I need for the small business loan. That's $40,000 that I am asking from you to achieve this goal.

When you contribute, you can expect unique perks like free food and drink or and game sessions ran by me for free! 

If the entire goal isn't met, the funds will still be going towards getting the small business loan. I will readjust, and possibly ask for a smaller loan while cutting out some of what I had planned.

The Impact

In northern California, especially Shasta County, there is not much nerdy entertainment to attend to with friends and family. I plan on bringing the community together to do what we love with food and drinks available! 

I am also planning on practicing sustainability and supporting local farmers and brewers, buying from local suppliers and contracting (when need be) from local businesses. I will also be actively working on reducing waste by donating organic waste to local farms and recycling whenever possible.

Risks & Challenges

I am not the only business trying to bring the nerdy lifestyle to our area, and that may be a challenge for opening. However, I already have made friends with many of these people with my active business, Redding VR, and plan on working with my competition to grow our businesses together. 

The only other risk is the startup capital, but the customers that are wanting this type of venue are in the area. I know I can generate enough revenue to make a profit and grow the business, while at the same time supporting other local businesses and helping grow our community.
