Coliseum Gaming Pub

Coliseum Gaming Pub operated in Cookeville, Tennessee, at 942 E 10th St, providing a hybrid entertainment experience for the local community. The venue, which previously housed the Wheeler Skating Rink, offered a blend of classic arcade games, pool tables, a lounge, and a bar with pub food and alcohol. A distinctive feature allowed patrons to pay a nightly fee to access a library of retro console games, including titles for GameCube, PlayStation, and Nintendo 64. The pub also hosted karaoke nights and other events on its stage, aiming to draw a diverse crowd.

Coliseum Gaming Pub was particularly popular among Tennessee Tech University students, with weekends often seeing the venue at full capacity. Despite its local appeal, the establishment eventually closed around 2016, with its owner citing financial difficulties related to high rent and power costs as primary factors. The building later became a Serenity Thrift store.
