• The Bazaar: Shop local vendors like Hypnotic Donuts and Good Records.
• The Speakeasy: Enjoy refined beers, along with craft beer cocktails from Balcones Distilling.
• The Arcade: Get your game on with cutting-edge consoles and cabinet-style classics not seen since the 1980s, all supplied by Free Play Arcade.

As for food and drink, partygoers will have access to unlimited beer tastings from seven different breweries including Braindead Brewing, Lakewood Brewing Co. and Brooklyn Brewery, with bites to be provided by Bowls & Tacos, Flying Saucer Draught Emporium and others.
