"Nashville’s beloved arcade bar Headquarters Beercade explodes into a winter wonderland on Saturday, December 1 with Reindeer Games — an immersive holiday pop-up. Located in the heart of SoBro at 114 2nd Ave South, Nashville’s biggest arcade bar will actually deck the halls with over-the-top decorations, interactive installations, specialty holiday-inspired cocktails, and more. Reindeer Games will take over the entire two-story, 6,500-square-foot space with traditional holiday decor turned on its head, designed and installed in-house to create a unique holiday experience. Guests can expect floor to ceiling decorations including walls adorned with 3D displays of Christmas trees and thousands of ornaments, 2,000 feet of twinkle lights illuminating the ceiling, 1,500 feet of garland draped on archways and windows, and life-size toy soldiers stationed throughout the space. Reindeer Games will also feature many experiential photo op moments, including a life-size Santa’s sleigh and a giant, four-person snow globe. There will also be activations inspired by cult-favorite Christmas films. Reindeer Games’ menu of festive dishes includes Santa’s Sliders, Charlie Brown’s Christmas Queso served with red and green tortilla chips, and Rudolph’s Reindeer Snacks with fried cinnamon sugar apples drizzled with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. The specialty cocktail menu will feature creative riffs on classic Christmas drinks and holiday flavors with names like Naughty List, Red Ryder Rosé, and a basic-friendly pumpkin spice hot toddy. Interactive events include holiday movie nights on Tuesdays, bingo every Wednesday, and Thursday visits from Santa. It all kicks off on December 1 with an ugly sweater party (recurring every Friday), but check Reindeer Games’ events calendar to see happenings for the whole month. Reindeer Games will be open every Monday-Thursday from 4 p.m. to 3 a.m. and every Friday-Sunday from 12 p.m.until 3 a.m. (including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). Reservations are encouraged for groups of five or more and large group or corporate party packages are available. Headquarters will still be decked out with 20+ vintage arcade games for guests to enjoy during the pop-up." - Delia Jo Ramsey

"Headquarters debuted in 2012 in Lakeview, and owners Brian Galati and Chireal Jordan have since opened locations in River North and Nashville. They’ve stuffed the space with nostalgic arcade video game cabinets from the ‘80s and ‘90s while serving pub food, craft beer, and playful cocktails. The Lakeview location was taken over by Replay’s ownership, although Headquarters owners say they’re still planning to reopen in the neighborhood sometime this winter, according to its website." - Ashok Selvam
