Tin Lizzy's The Avenue East Cobb temporarily closing

The restaurant group behind the Tin Lizzy’s Cantina concept is adding a game and arcade bar next to its existing location at Avenue East Cobb.

The Tin Pin Game Bar will open early next year in the former Beni’s Cubano space and will feature menu items from Tin Lizzy’s in a family-friendly entertainment space.

Southern Proper Hospitality said in a release that popular pinball and arcade games will be featured, including The Mandalorian, Godzilla, Foo Fighters, James Bond 007, Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy. Stern’s new Venom game, released in September, also will be available for gamers.

“We’re excited to introduce Tin Pin to the East Cobb community. Our guests are going to love playing these classic games while enjoying some of their favorite Tin Lizzy’s dishes,” Southern Proper partner Chris Hadermann said in a statement. “There will be fun for all ages, plus it’s a great spot to celebrate birthdays and host events.

“We’ve curated these games to appeal to multiple age groups with super-popular themes.”

Featured arcade games include Namco 20-Year Reunion (with Ms. Pac Man and Galaga); The Sega Out Run standup racing game; Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting; and Donkey Kong.

The menu items at the Tin Pin Game Bar will include gourmet soft tacos, bowls and quesadillas and the restaurant’s full beverage menu of beers, wines, margaritas and specialty cocktails.

Tin Lizzy’s, which opened at Avenue East Cobb in 2016, is one of eight locations for the concept, and will debut the company’s game bar component.

Eater Atlanta reported that Tin Pin Game Bar is the latest in an emerging trend of local restaurants carving out gaming and entertainment space, most of them in Atlanta. They include a pickleball center near the Armour Yards venue in Midtown that’s set to open in December.

Southern Proper Hospitality, located on Powers Ferry Road in East Cobb, operates eight restaurant concepts in metro Atlanta, including the Gypsy Kitchen, the Blind Pig, The Big Ketch Saltwater Grill and Chido & Padre’s in Buckhead.
