Gaming tip

Hot Rod Café arcade pub

114 Bank St., New London

Feeling nostalgic for the ‘80s after binge watching “Stranger Things”? Well, fear not, you can get a dose of your lost childhood memories in real life by venturing into the basement of New London’s Hot Rod Café — a space that was recently converted into a retro ‘80s and ‘90s arcade pub. Get lost in the primitive computer worlds of PacMan, Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Or, for an experience somewhat in line with the plot of "Stranger Things," play Area 51: Site 4. Aside from the gaming room, there is also a full bar, and wings are still up for grabs.
