Pixel Planet: Insert Coin to Start!
Chester, United Kingdom
Aim
Pixel Planet: My aim is to raise enough to be able to bring this dream to life.A bar full of nostalgia and activities with a fun first focus
🎮 Pixel Planet: Chester’s First Retro Arcade Bar
Imagine walking into a neon-soaked arcade bar where you can sip a gaming-themed cocktail, smash your high score on Time Crisis, or celebrate with friends over bottomless pizza and endless retro gaming. That’s the dream behind Pixel Planet — and with your help, I can make it a reality.
👋 Who I Am
Hey, I’m Alan, and I’ve spent the last 15 years working my way up in the hospitality industry — from collecting glasses in a nightclub to running bars and restaurants as a General Manager. Alongside that, I’ve dedicated over 25 years to coaching basketball and organising leagues, building communities, motivating teams, and creating unforgettable experiences.
Now, I’m ready to bring my greatest passions together: Gaming and
Cocktails and Great hospitality.
The Vision
Pixel Planet will be a safe, fun, and inclusive space where everyone is welcome — whether you’re a retro gamer, cocktail lover, or just looking for a new night out.
What you can expect:
🎮 Arcade classics and modern consoles for all ages
🍸 Gaming-themed cocktails crafted with creativity and flair
🍕 The best pizza in town (yes, bottomless options too!)
🕹️ Themed nights: From retro tournaments to Mario Kart races
🎬 Future plans: Esports tournaments, nerd cinema nights, D&D rooms and more!
Think cyberpunk vibes meets Pac-Man nostalgia — neon, energy, and entertainment everywhere you look.
💷 Why I Need Your Help
Dreams like this don’t come cheap. With your help no matter how big or small every little helps. There is a lot needed for a dream like this to become reality from building a bar from scratch or painting decals on the wall so any help would go towards building Pixel Planet to be the best it can be!
Your donations will go directly towards:
A fully fitted cocktail bar (Typically can cost between £40,000-£50,000.)
Arcade machines and retro consoles (To buy are between £3000-£5000 each.)
Pizza ovens & kitchen setup (A good electric pizza oven is £1000.)
Neon-inspired décor and furniture
Seating and tables
Licensing and start-up costs
Every single contribution takes me one step closer to opening Chester’s ultimate arcade bar.
🙌 How You Can Be Part of the Journey
This isn’t just my dream — I want it to be our community’s bar. Everyone who supports Pixel Planet will be recognised, with names on a Founders’ Wall in the venue, so the people who made it happen are always celebrated.
I’ll also share regular updates and videos as the project develops, so you can follow along and have your say in shaping the space.
❤️ Join Me in Making Pixel Planet Real
I have the vision, the experience, and the passion. What I need now is support from people who believe in creating something fun, unique, and lasting for Chester.
If you love gaming, great cocktails, pizza, and the idea of a safe and exciting new space to enjoy them — please consider donating and becoming part of Pixel Planet’s story.
Together, let’s build something incredible.
