Owners Shaun Murawski , Scott McLachlan and George Black have announced that the bar will launch in late March after a total of 166 backers pledged £6,249 to bring the idea to life.
Customers will be able to play a variety of classic arcade and pinball games including Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat on fully restored gaming systems, while enjoying a selection of locally sourced and international beers.
Super Bario’s funding period lasted just 31 days with the owners finally reaching their target of £5,000 by January 7th.
Money raised went towards funding the construction of the bar as well as a full refurbishment with decoration by local artists.
Backers who pledged £25 or more will have their names displayed on plaques and those who pledged £1K will receive a ‘JAMMA’ arcade machine.
George Black told The Scotsman that the aim was to offer a new experience for customers. He said: “Arcade bars have been gaining popularity in the US and further afield for a few years now but are still a relatively new thing in the UK and Europe.
“We really think there’s a gap in the market for this in Glasgow and wanted to provide somewhere that offers something a bit different from most bars in the city centre.”
