01More Than an Arcade
The arcade you remember — rebuilt for grown-ups.
Electric Avenue is a planned social arcade and entertainment venue coming to Grants Pass, Oregon. We’re taking the glow, the noise, and the high-score rivalries of the arcade you grew up in — and pairing them with good food, a full bar, and room to actually hang out.
It’s a place to play, eat, drink, compete, and connect under one roof — designed for adults, with dedicated all-ages hours so the next generation can learn the classics too.
A new gathering place for the Rogue Valley.
02The Experience
Four ways to play, one roof.
Concept
Eat + Drink
Kitchen & Bar
Approachable food built for a night of play, paired with local Oregon beer, cider and cocktails. A straightforward menu, good drinks, and plenty of reasons to stay awhile.
Concept
Compete
Tournaments & Leagues
Weekly pinball leagues, bracketed fighting-game nights, and high-score chases with the leaderboard on the wall. Casual or competitive — there’s a bracket with your name on it.
Concept
Connect
Community & Events
A genuine third place for Grants Pass, not home, not work — birthday parties, club meetups, community nights and local fundraisers, and local art on the walls. A room where neighbors actually meet.
03Built for Grants Pass
A home base for Grants Pass.
Grants Pass deserves a room built for showing up — not just home and work, but somewhere in between. Electric Avenue is being designed as a true third place: a gathering spot where neighbors meet, friends compete, and the Rogue Valley has somewhere to go after dark.
We’re planning to source locally where we can — Oregon craft beer and cider, regional ingredients on the menu, and local art on the walls — and to host the clubs, meetups, and community nights that make Grants Pass feel alive.

The person behind it
Niles Christodoulidis — Founder
Niles Christodoulidis is an entrepreneur and operator with more than two decades of experience spanning multi-unit restaurant operations and development, finance, manufacturing and business development. Electric Avenue combines that operating experience with a simple idea: build the kind of social gathering place Grants Pass has room for.
“I’m building the place I wish Grants Pass already had — somewhere to play a few games, grab a good bite and a local beer, and run into people you know. An arcade that grew up, without growing boring.”
Electric Avenue is a local, independent project — conceived and led right here in the Rogue Valley. If you’d like to partner, host an event, or just share an idea, the door’s open.
