Beast has been a pizza delivery place for years. They just expanded into vacant storefront next door to have seating and a bar.
I've known the owner for years, his wife even played on my dart team before they were married, prob 15 years ago.
I didn't get a chance to talk to Lee much on Tuesday, he was cooking, and then even serving us by the end.
I was wondering if Buzztime is running some intro discount, because a place in Christiansburg called Lost in Taste apparently picked it up as well. I haven't been there but they seem to be a retro themed sports bar.
I'm glad people remember us after all this time, and I hope these places can keep Buzztime. I have a bad feeling if they are on a discount now, they won't be able to afford the regular price.
I'll pass the message along to BLUEJAY, I doubt he checks this site.

Thanks for the info on The Beast, Bill, a good pizza place is great. So it seems that you did have to ask your friend Lee to get Buzztime? Is that how they started the process?
I don’t know about discounts but I do believe they are waiving install fees basically making it free till the 1st bill comes in. I hope your group can play more than just Tues. it will take several days a week or a few different groups to support The Beast. The normal price is about $400 a month. Let us know if you hear a price that Lee pays.
Hope you can get enough players in there throughout the week. Maybe recruit some college kids to play, esp on the days you aren’t there. It takes a big marketing and recruiting effort in order to keep BT in a bar.
In case you don’t know there is a cheaper version of BT with no tablets, phn app only but that doesn’t support Showdown or Spotlight. It’s only $100 a month. So stay away from the streaming no box bars if you are trying to play Showdown. If you see a New bar pop up and the listing online has the old blue box icon they are streaming app, no tablets. Also if they list Buzztime Mini game they are streaming not the full elite tablet package.
Good luck and please follow up on here with whatever Lee can tell you.
