GREENSBORO — Geeksboro Battle Pub has closed.

The closing comes just six months after it moved from Lawndale Shopping Center to its current location at 2618 Lawndale Drive in Kirkwood Commons.

“We struggled at the beginning. Sales were slow and debts were high and growing. But in the end, we were starting to actually make money,” Geeksboro owner Joe Scott said.

Unfortunately, Scott said, profits did not come quickly enough to pull the business out of its initial slump.

“It’s a bittersweet failure,” Scott said.

Geeksboro opened six years ago as Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, a mashup of a coffeehouse, board and video game parlor and screening room.

It was the ultimate living room where self-professed geeks of all ages congregated.

People came to play video games, gather to watch popular television shows and alternative movies, participate in cosplay events and get their geek on in an all-inclusive bastion of cerebral pop culture.
