A place to hang out, play, and connect in an old school kind of way.
about Reset
Reset is a cozy, no-phone social hangout built around nostalgic video games.
The idea is simple: recreate the feeling of going over to a friend's house when you were younger and hanging out, playing games, and spending time together without too much worry.
Expect old school games from your childhood - games that are meant to be social, a little competitive, and most importantly, fun.
We’ll usually mix in board games, cards, and other analog activities too, along with occasional collaborations with local artists, vintage clothing vendors, and other creative communities.
So all in all, Reset is about bringing back play in today’s grown up world. A chance to unplug, hang out with friends and meet new people (with games as the social magnet) and enjoy a more low-pressure and throwback kind of night out.
A chance to Reset to some simpler times.

good vibes, and people being present with each other.
