"The proprietors of Chicago-based arcade bar chain Emporium are branching out across the Bay, opening a new Oakland location at 1805 Telegraph Avenue in the former Rudy’s Can’t Fail Cafe space. The new Emporium will be smaller than the team’s sprawling San Francisco location, which has drawn steady crowds for craft beer, pinball, pool, and video games since it opened in a former theater space on Divisadero last December." - Caleb Pershan
