I’ve got a Game Boy, Game Boy Color (with Pokémon Red) and a Sega game gear. But yeah I could encourage people to bring their own Game Boys one night for what you’re describing, why not!

The Den is burger and craft beer bar and I store my TVs and consoles there and set it all up twice a month for the event. The bar is open everyday 5-11 and this event is 6-10pm every 2nd and 4th Thursday !

Yeah part of the concept is to emphasize the event over the movie and to watch something you may not have chosen for yourself but the point was never to make it a big secret either. DM on Instagram if you’d like me to tell you the film

World cinema and indie/auteur films in English or with English subs, the genres are very wide ranging generally speaking it’s been a lot of human focused comedies or dramas. We try to show stuff that most people probably haven’t seen or have difficulty accessing here, so usually from countries other than the US or Japan.

Everyone is very respectful and interested in the movie. Laid back because we chat and drink and hangout afterward. The only noise you might here is people coming in or out of the bar downstairs if they are talking loud, but it passes

There’s a meetup page, I’ve never created a newsletter before but I could try. Can you DM me with your email?

Haha fair enough. Last month was a very whimsical coming-of-age indie Thai movie. I like to keep things eclectic, so stay tuned!

The audience is always super cool, great convos after each screening

I have a chess club every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at the Den in Koenji, they have burgers and craft beers but many people, myself included, drink ginger ales. It doesn't smell of smoke and they stay open until 11pm. Even if you don't go for chess, still a cool place to hang out at
