If you were thinking the former Uno Chicago Grill restaurant at 904 County St. might forever remain vacant, think again.
The property finally has a new tenant, and this one will have plenty of video game nerds breaking out the cheat codes.
Free Play Bar Arcade, an assorted game complex, with locations in Providence and Worcester, will be moving in and open for business this fall.
The business boasts providing hundreds of assorted classic video arcade games, interactive and rhythm-based video games (Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Pump it Up, and car-racing games as examples) and traditional games like pinball, ski ball and air hockey.
Co-owner Anthony Santurri explained there’s a nostalgic quality to Free Play as it caters more to adults.
“We want people to feel like when they were kids, while hanging out with other adults,” he said, adding the clientele at other locations “show up, play the games you used to play as a kid, laugh and joke with other adults, and leave happy.”
The weekends will also boast scheduled music entertainment, such as live bands, DJs and karaoke.
Santurri said an enclosed outdoor area will be built on the property for those year-round added entertainment options.
