Beer at Chuck E. Cheese: Who knew?

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Feb 19th 2006 @ 8:41PM

I recently read a short article in The Decatur Daily about how a local Chuck E. Cheese had recently received the go-ahead to start serving beer. Apparently ,about half of the roughly 500 locations serve beer, according to the article. Obviously, it isn't heavily promoted and the amount you can drink is limited to two cups per person. The piece quotes a Chuck E. Cheese spokesperson as saying "It's just another way to keep everybody happy." Damn straight.

Several months ago, I posted a link to an article by a mom who had recently endured the Chuck E. Cheese experience and come out with some witty commentary. Suddenly, I have less sympathy for her suffering.

Good to know that I can hit them up for liquor when I want pizza, old video games, and beer.

Learn how to spell easy words, and maybe you will get some respect from your kids. Lighten up, or your going to end up an old hag. If you don't like it, than don't go to that establishment!
