eating place are already factoring “ Pokémon lures ” into their monthly budgets , and bars are full squeeze the phenomenon as a way of allure mass in for a agile drink with their Pikachu .

Mewtwo was here
Casc , a cigar and malt whiskey bar in the UK , put up “ Mewtwo was here ” signs on their tables . And while there isevidencethat legendaries do subsist in the game , it ’s extremely unbelievable Mewtwo actually made an show in the bar . Even so , we ’d be unforced to risk it . Worst case scenario : We end up boozing scotch .
Team Mystic Bar
A Redditor post a picture of a Virginia bar called theArtful Dodger , which put out a signal claiming any Pokémon GO player onTeam Mystic(one of three teams players can join in the game ) gets 10 percent off their drinks . It reckon like the foretoken spread out through teams , so you could bet Virginia Pokémon trainers have their eye on this bar , waiting for that squad discount ( TEAM VALORALL THE WAY ! ) .
Pokémon love beer
Do they love beer , Mad Fox Brewing Company ? We know they love Razz Berries , but we have seen no evidence that Pokémon have a penchant for a dry pint . But you know who does ? ( Of old age ) Pokémon GO players who are looking to spend their sidereal day sipping drinks and catching Pokémon .
Some not-so-friendly places
Some smear are a bit blunter than others , demanding compensation for Pokémon .
The two-for-one
Some spots are lucky enough to be near one Pokéstop , but a bar that ’s within two Pokéstops ? That ’s the pot . You ca n’t pass along up a place where you’re able to grab a drunkenness and blood up on Pokéballs .
This bar wins
Is Pokémon GO extra popular in Virginia ? Because John Strongbow ’s tap house in Alexandria is hitting the movement severely . The bar not only highlights the fact that it ’s within a two - pulley block r of two different gymnasium and a couple of Pokéstops , it also created three particular Pokémon cocktails for players : the Blue Squirtle , the Pikachu and the Charming Charmander .
You win , John Strongbow ’s Tavern . shut out up and take our money .
