Downtown Napa’s first console-focused retro gaming lounge was recently approved by the city of Napa Planning Commission.
Super Lounge, proposed by Nick Lesec, will be located at 1011 Coombs St. across from the in-progress First Street hotel development and offer game station rentals — a variety of gaming consoles from the 1990s and 2000s — with couch seating for one to four guests at an hourly rate, according to the project description. Such a business would be new to downtown Napa, which in 2025 saw arcade gaming and pinball businesses open up.
“It is meant to be a ‘third space’ outside school/work and the home for the community to gather and play classic games together in a safe and nostalgic environment,” the project description reads in part.
Super Lounge will also sell pre-packaged snacks, along with beer and non-alcoholic drinks, according to the project description. And it will hold events such as tournaments, offer equipment rentals and sell merchandise.
The business would be open five days a week, Wednesday to Sunday, with hours running as late as 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 11 p.m. the other days.
The Planning Dommission approved a use permit for the business at a meeting Thursday, Nov. 5.
