Everyone’s a winner at the Brewskee-Ball tournament with Google New York

Many of us have fond memories of playing Skee-Ball at arcades, on boardwalks or at amusement parks. The owners of Full Circle Bar not only opened a bar dedicated to the game, but created the first-ever competitive Skee-Ball league, which they’ve dubbed Brewskee-Ball.

The sign outside and bar tops are made from parts of actual Skee-Ball machines.

On a recent Wednesday night, we headed over to Full Circle Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to host our own Brewskee-Ball Tournament. Forty-five guests joined us for a night of drinks, hot dogs and non-stop Skee-Ball. We also provided a playlist full of motivational songs (nicknamed “MENergy”) that you might hear during an ’80s movie montage, including “You’re The Best” and “Push It to the Limit.”

 

We had quite a few strong competitors ...

… and some stylish ones, too!

In between rounds of Skee-Ball, guests reviewed some of their favorite spots on Google Places and we gave out some sweet schwag.

Then it was my turn. Here’s a clip of me, Margarita, playing a game:



Suffice it to say, I won’t be recruited for any Skee-Ball leagues any time soon. Luckily, the great thing about this game is it’s a blast regardless of your skill level.

In the end, there could only be one champion, and that champion was Mike:

Mike, the winner of the Brewskee-Ball Tournament, finds a practical use for his new trophy.

Some folks had such a good time, a group who hadn’t met before that night started planning a Skee-Ball reunion (“Skee-union”?) at Full Circle in September. We may just have to join them.

Thank you to all our guests and the staff at Full Circle Bar for such a Skee-lightful evening!
