Tournament Night at The Barking Barley

Tournament Night at The Barking Barley

Sunday’s for recovering. Or for absolutely humiliating your best friend on Rainbow Road while holding a cold Virginia pour. Your call.

We’re teaming up with Galaxy Rolling Video Games to park their mobile gaming theater right here at the Barley for a night of bracket-style competition, cold taps, and gourmet dogs that hit different after a hard-fought final.

Featured tournament games:

• Mario Kart
• Super Smash Bros.
• Other titles by request — tell us what you want

HOW TO ENTER

Entry is a $10 Barking Barley gift card purchase — and you keep the gift card. Spend it on a pint, spend it on a dog, spend it on both. Your entry fee comes right back to you in liquid form. It’s the only tournament in town where everybody cashes out.

Galaxy’s rig runs Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch across a wall of 4K screens, with more seating under the awning outside. Which means you can compete, spectate, or heckle from the beer garden with a pint in hand — whatever suits your skill level.

And yes, your dog’s invited. Bring them along, let them run the 6,000 sq ft park while you run the bracket. Dogs drink free. Owners do not.

Still coming: official rules, prize details, and the full run of the night.

Right now we want your input. Which game are you most fired up to compete in? Got a title you’d love to see added? Drop it in the comments on our socials — and tag the friend you fully intend to beat.
