The Sci-Fi Lounge is a St. Louis hotspot for geeks, dweebs, nerds, and gamers. Walking into the Sci-Fi Lounge is like getting a glimpse into a cooler uncle’s brain. If that cooler uncle is Coyote, the Captain and Creative Director of the Sci-Fi Lounge. Science-fiction and fantasy toys line the walls, and the Legos are always handy. Pick up a controller and challenge some friends (or foes) to “Mario Kart”

and Star Wars Monopoly, or catch a show on a Friday night. Pinball is available for the old folks, or the lonelier individual. If it’s low blood sugar, or just a craving for a Dr. Pepper, snacks and beverages are only one dollar. Coyote’s love for science-fiction, fantasy, art, music, and toys has shown through in this unique venue.

Don’t ever feel out of place because the Sci-Fi Lounge has something recognizable and familiar to everyone. It’s a place where girls, guys, and fanboys can get together and bond over the brilliance of Star Wars, “Godzilla,” ”Transformers,” and “The Lord of the Rings.” The Sci-Fi Lounge is the only place, other than mom’s basement where it is acceptable to recruit help for your Lego tower.

Visit the Sci-Fi Lounge at it’s new location in the Crestwood Plaza.
