Encore Esports — Attraction in City of New Rochelle

My wife and I booked this place recently for our kids’ bday party (8 and 10 years old). What a great decision that was. Govinda, the owner, was a pleasure to coordinate with before and during our party. Both he and Shane attended the needs of the 20 kids and made sure that they had everything they needed to game their little hearts out.

Seating is comfortable, prices are more than reasonable, tournaments take place here, overall this is everything a gaming...

The one time I went several months ago I had wanted to go just to check the place out and see an old friend who had started working there that i haven't seen in awhile. At first it was nice, well laid out and clean. They were having a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament and was asked by an employee if i would be entering, I told him no because i just got back into the game (plus at the time the lighting was terrible in the store for card games, imagine trying to read tiny text in a night club). He then told me, "well you need to pay something to the venue to be in here" and made me pay ten dollars just to be in the store, it felt very scummy to hock a new customer for money just to be able to visit and check the place out.
