It seems that BarCraft (so far) has been universally successful. See this Reddit thread for info. Poking around Reddit, I found many cases where bars had to increase staffing (San Diego) or nearly ran out of beer/food because attendees ordered so much (Portland). Let that esports love flow during matches and bar owners will want to host more events! On August 28 2011 20:00 KangaRuthless wrote: So disappointed there isn't a BarCraft in Atlanta. Not yet, but it looks like an enterprising bar owner wants there to be. Wanna help? | ||

Happy to inform you that Sweden is having our first Barcraft on the 17th for the Valencia Dreamhack tournament. We will be holding it at The Crib (Sveavägen 55) ( http://www.cribstockholm.se/ ). We also have Dreamhack and the Stockholm pro-gaming house involved, and over 480 attending on the facebook event, so that is very exciting! For more information you can use the following links Website here: http://barcraftsverige.se/ facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/263581126992851/ Our first event is on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=241654165878731 | ||

I've created a reddit thread here but some jackalope downvoted it, and I made one in the /r/barcraftstl but nobody even looks at that. I have the bar locked down and everything I just need to get the word out. Any ideas? Hey giligan, You already overcame the hardest huddle, so I'll do everything I can to help you rest of the way. You have friends amongst all the organizers!
Don't feint! I talk to all the barcraft organizers, and have yet to hear one that fails (even Charlottetown, PEI had a good showing). If you have skype, send me a pm and I'll get you in touch with the other organizers. I am sure they can give you some helpful advice as well! PS: gogoogo barcraft sweden!!! Make Americans jealous!!!! | ||

I got one section of my local bar/restaurant with a dedicated TV for streaming the finals on the 16th. If I can get enough people to show enough interest I am sure I can get that room and TV for all of MLG Providence in November. I am trying to my part to spread the word via Reddit and the SC2 forums on Battle.net so we shall see how that goes. FB Event Page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=121436827962262 | ||

Come and join us at Assembly House next to Kentish Town tube station, for two days of Starcraft 2! We will be streaming both red and blue streams, and due to popular demand, will most assuredly, cross my heart if I lie I'll play Terran, enjoy a ginormous, HD-projected third screen! Watch some pro-games, meet friendly nerds, have some beers and complain about Terran being OP with us! It's a fun day to meet new friends that you will later be able to kill online, a perfect way to socialise in sort! Plus, we'll have pub-quizzes, Barcrafter-submitted replays professionally cast as well as the world-famous 20-men-strong Shoutcraft! Oh, and we might get a couple of VIPs… We will cover most of pool play on Saturday from the start of stream until midnight, and follow most of the double-elimination tournament on sunday from start of stream until 22:30. The start time of the event will be 30 minutes before MLG starts the streams, we will update this page to let you know, but let's look at 15:00 as a safe bet. If you want to watch the finals, well, tough lu…. NO! THIS IS LONDONBARCRAFT!!! Not only did we triple the amount of screens, get a projector, spectator benches and an additional quiet-area to watch sc2 while the GFs enjoy a cocktail, but... We've secured the pub from 22:30 until 3:00 in order to watch the finals. There is a catch, we need 30 people to make a reservation for this, and be able to stay until the finals. The pub will liaise with a minicab company so everyone can get home safely, and might be able to help if you are looking for accommodation. To make reservations, please email lockmein@londonbarcraft.com - we will keep you updated on the status of the lock-in on Friday evening. Please, only make a reservation if you are 100% sure you will be able to attend, as this requires some organisation on the part of both the pub and Londonbarcraft. If we don't reach 30 peeps by Friday, we won't be able to hold this finals-viewing event, but will still have had 2 days of awesome LondonBarcrafting behind us, so only reserve if you mean it lads!

I want to tell ya'll about another BarCraft event happening in Oshawa, Ontario. We'll be watching MLG Orlando's finals on October 16. From 6pm to 9pm we'll be at Shagwell's, a pub within walking distance of UOIT/Durham College's campus. It's All ages and free to attend. We'll have a big projector so each zergling will hopefully be larger than a chicken wing. Shagwell's has all day breakfast and 4$ pints! If you have any questions free to message me danielsnider12 at gmail dot com.

I had nothing to do with organizing this; but maybe this post will bring some more people to this event. Seeing that this isn't in the OP. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=265900 Too many good games going on at MLG right now. Good problem to have. Enjoy yourselves! | ||

A good thing though, that means BarCraft has become the success I imagined it could be. | ||
